Balloon Loan Agreement is used when lump sum payments are made along with the loan amount. The Balloon Loan Agreement is a type of agreement in which the person paying the loan needs to make additional payments along with the loan amount.
Since the additional payments are in huge amounts over and above the loan payment it is called a Balloon Loan. This scenario usually take place when the loan amount is agreed to and the payments you make during the loan duration are lower and at the end of the loan duration you have to more. This payment can be made at intervals or in lump sum amounts. The reason for the extra payment is usually accumulated interest.
The form mentions that the balloon payment agreement is for a fixed rate. Further, it will require the mention of the city and state along with the full address of the property. The agreement mentions the promise of the borrower to pay a certain amount. The amount is to be mentioned in dollars and the name of the lender is to be mentioned in the same point. The promise is to pay in the form of cash, check or money order. The rate of interest which is to be charged is also mentioned and must be mutually agreed to by both parties.
The next section deals with the structure of the payments. The agreed dates of payment must be mentioned along with the place at which the payment has to be made. The fixed amount for monthly payments must also be mentioned in dollars. These blanks are followed by terms that are agreed between both parties such as the rights of the borrower and the conditions for loan charges and the provisions for late charges. In case of late payment of amount, the charges that are agreed between the parties are mentioned in the form and are liable to be paid.
The form must be completed with that seal of the borrower in three places. The signature must be original.

I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying any Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note
Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of this Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.

10. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE
This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions.

That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions read as follows:
Form 3260 1/01
Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. As used in this Section 18, “Interest in the Property” means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower at a future date to a purchaser.
If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender’s prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law.
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 15 within which Borrower must pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.
