You have 5 years with a 10-year amortization to keep monthly payments low. The 5-year term is the actual length of time you will have to pay off the loan. The 10-year amortization is the length of time used to calculate payments. In this case, your monthly payment amount is calculated as if the loan has a term of 10 years, which reduces your monthly payments significantly. At the end of the 5-year term, your loan will reach maturity, but will still have a remaining balance. You can work with us to refinance the remaining balance into a new lower monthly payment, or you can also choose to pay the remaining balance.
