Math Problem Statement
You need a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $270,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at an APR of 5.1 percent for this 360-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,000, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment.
How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,000?
