Terms of A Commercial Mortgage
The majority of Commercial Mortgages in the United States, while requiring the borrower to simply make a monthly payment small enough to pay off the loan over a 20 to 30 year time frame, require a balloon payment (a total payoff) after a lesser time frame. The borrower most likely will attempt at that time to refinance the loan or sell the property. Thus there are two elements generally to the term of a commercial mortgage loan: the length of time allowed until balloon payment (known simply as the term), and the amortization. The length of the loan can vary from a matter of days to 30 years. If a loan had a 30 year amortization schedule, but a 10 year term it would commonly be referred to as a 10 year balloon with a 30 year payment schedule.
As an example, assume a $15,000,000 loan at 8% interest with a 30 year amortization schedule and 10 year term (a 10/30 loan) with monthly payments. The payment amount would be $110,065 per month or $1,320,776 per year if it were on a typical 360 day accrual (in Excel: =PMT(8%/12,30*12,15000000,0)*12 ). The principal balance owed (to the mortgage bank) at the end of each of year would be:
| Year | $ Balance | $ Paid During year |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | $15,000,000 | $1,320,776 |
| 1 | $14,874,695 | $1,320,776 |
| 2 | $14,738,991 | $1,320,776 |
| 3 | $14,592,022 | $1,320,776 |
| 4 | $14,432,856 | $1,320,776 |
| 5 | $14,260,479 | $1,320,776 |
| 6 | $14,073,794 | $1,320,776 |
| 7 | $13,871,615 | $1,320,776 |
| 8 | $13,652,655 | $1,320,776 |
| 9 | $13,415,521 | $1,320,776 |
| 10 | $13,158,706 | $1,320,776 |
At the end of the 10 year loan term, the borrower would have to pay the remaining balance (balloon payment) of $13,158,706. Note: If this table were continued, '$ owed to bank' would reach exactly $0 at year 30 since the loan type is 10/30.

Famous quotes containing the words terms of, terms, commercial and/or mortgage:
“I had a long day’s work, starting at eight in the morning and ending after nine at night, but in those days [we] ... did not think of our day in terms of hours. We liked our work, we were proud to do it well, and I am afraid that we were very, very happy.”
—Louie Mayer (b. c. 1914)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“The mortgage is still in our name but, increasingly, the house is theirs. One diaper, one vote.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
