BALLOON RIDER (CONDITIONAL RIGHT TO REFINANCE)

THIS BALLOON RIDER is made this day of , , and is incorporated into and shall be deemed to amend and supplement the Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the “Security Instrument”) of the same date given by the undersigned (“Borrower”) to secure Borrower’s Note to (“Lender”) of the same date and covering the property described in the Security Instrument and located at:

The interest rate stated on the Note is called the “Note Rate.” The date of the Note is called the “Note Date.” I understand Lender may transfer the Note, Security Instrument and this Rider. Lender or anyone who takes the Note, the Security Instrument and this Rider by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under the Note is called the “Note Holder.”

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

In addition to the covenants and agreements in the Security Instrument, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows (despite anything to the contrary contained in the Security Instrument or the Note):

1. CONDITIONAL RIGHT TO REFINANCE

At the Maturity Date of the Note and Security Instrument (the “Maturity Date”), I will be able to obtain a new loan (“New Loan”) with a new Maturity Date of , and with an interest rate equal to the “New Note Rate” determined in accordance with Section 3 below if all the conditions provided in Section 2 and 5 below are met (the “Conditional Refinancing Option”). If those conditions are not met, I understand that the Note Holder is under no obligation to refinance or modify the Note, or to extend the Maturity Date, and that I will have to repay the Note from my own resources or find a lender willing to lend me the money to repay the Note.

2. CONDITIONS TO OPTION

If I want to exercise the Conditional Refinancing Option at maturity, certain conditions must be met as of the Maturity Date. These conditions are:

(a) I must still be the owner and occupant of the property subject to the Security Instrument (the “Property”);

(b) I must be current in my monthly payments and cannot have been more than 30 days late on any of the 12 scheduled monthly payments immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

(c) no lien against the Property (except for taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable) other than that of the Security Instrument may exist;

(d) the New Note Rate cannot be more than five percentage points above the Note Rate;

(e) I must make a written request to the Note Holder as provided in Section 5 below.

3. CALCULATING THE NEW NOTE RATE

The New Note Rate will be a fixed rate of interest equal to Fannie Mae’s required net yield for 30-year fixed rate mortgages subject to a 60-day mandatory delivery commitment, plus one-half of one percentage point (0.5%), rounded to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%) (the “New Note Rate”). The required net yield shall be the applicable net yield in effect on the date and time of day that the Note Holder receives notice of my election to exercise the Conditional Refinancing Option. If this required net yield is not available, the Note Holder will determine the New Note Rate by using comparable information.

4. CALCULATING THE NEW PAYMENT AMOUNT

Provided the New Note Rate as calculated in Section 3 above is not greater than five percentage points above the Note Rate and all other conditions required in Section 2 above are satisfied, the Note Holder will determine the amount of the monthly payment that will be sufficient to repay in full (a) the unpaid principal, plus (b) accrued but unpaid interest, plus (c) all other sums I will owe under the Note and Security Instrument on the Maturity Date (assuming my monthly payments then are current, as required under Section 2 above), over the term of the New Note at the New Note Rate in equal monthly payments.

The result of this calculation will be the amount of my new principal and interest payment every month until the New Note is fully paid.

5. EXERCISING THE CONDITIONAL REFINANCING OPTION

The Note Holder will notify me at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Maturity Date and advise me of the principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and all other sums I am expected to owe on the Maturity Date. The Note Holder also will advise me that I may exercise the Conditional Refinancing Option if the conditions in Section 2 above are met. The Note Holder will provide my payment record information, together with the name, title and address of the person representing the Note Holder that I must notify in order to exercise the Conditional Refinancing Option. If I meet the conditions of Section 2 above, I may exercise the Conditional Refinancing Option by notifying the Note Holder no later than 45 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date. The Note Holder will calculate the fixed New Note Rate based upon Fannie Mae’s applicable published required net yield in effect on the date and time of day notification is received by the Note Holder and as calculated in Section 3 above. I will then have 30 calendar days to provide the Note Holder with acceptable proof of my required ownership, occupancy and property lien status. Before the Maturity Date, the Note Holder will advise me of the new interest rate (the New Note Rate), new monthly payment amount and a date, time and place at which I must appear to sign any documents required to complete the required refinancing. I understand the Note Holder will charge me a $250 processing fee and the costs associated with updating the title insurance policy, if any.

BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and covenants contained in this Balloon Rider.

Understanding the Balloon Rider Mortgage Form

A Balloon Rider Mortgage Form is an addendum to a mortgage or promissory note that documents a balloon payment provision, specifying a large one-time payment due at loan maturity in place of full amortization. It records the balloon amount, maturity date, interest rate terms, and any acceleration or prepayment conditions tied to that single final payment. Lenders, servicers, and borrowers use the rider to make the balloon obligation enforceable and to create a clear record for escrow, payoff calculations, and potential modification or refinance scenarios.

Why this rider matters for loan clarity

A Balloon Rider Mortgage Form makes the balloon-payment terms explicit, reduces ambiguity at maturity, and creates an enforceable written record of parties’ obligations under ESIGN and UETA frameworks.

Why this rider matters for loan clarity

Who typically completes the Balloon Rider Mortgage Form

Key parties and roles that prepare or sign this rider are listed below.

  • Lenders and loan servicers — Prepare, attach, and ensure payoff calculations align with loan servicing systems and investor requirements.
  • Borrowers and guarantors — Review payment schedule, confirm maturity date, and acknowledge obligations for the balloon amount.
  • Closing agents and title companies — Record the rider at closing, verify notarization and recording requirements for the county recorder.

Each party should confirm authority to sign, required witnesses or notary steps, and retention obligations for the executed rider.

Step-by-step: filling and finalizing the rider

Follow these sequential steps to prepare, verify, and finalize a Balloon Rider Mortgage Form accurately.

  • 01
    Prepare Draft: Complete fields and attach to the mortgage file.
  • 02
    Verify Numbers: Confirm balloon amount and loan number with servicer.
  • 03
    Sign and Authenticate: Obtain signatures, notarization, or eSignature evidence.
  • 04
    Record and Distribute: Record if required and send copies to all parties.

Configuring an online signing workflow

Set up a consistent eSigning workflow so the rider is routed, authenticated, and retained with the right controls.

Field Configuration
Upload Document PDF or DOCX; attach loan exhibits as separate files.
Place Signature Fields Assign signer roles and required initials.
Authentication Method Email link, SMS code, or KBA as needed.
Retention Settings Enable audit trail and secure storage with access controls.

Digital signing flow for the Balloon Rider Mortgage Form

A typical eSubmission process includes upload, field placement, signer authentication, signature capture, and storage.

  • Upload: Sender uploads the rider to the platform.
  • Prepare Fields: Add signature, date, and text fields.
  • Invite Signers: Send secure email or link to each signer.
  • Capture Audit Trail: Platform records timestamp, IP, and actions.

Technical and integration considerations for eSubmission

Confirm the signing platform supports formats, integrations, and compliance controls required for mortgage riders.

  • File Formats: PDF, DOCX supported.
  • Integration Options: Connectors for Loan Origination Systems.
  • Authentication: Email, SMS, KBA, or advanced options.

Use a platform that provides an auditable trail, secure storage, and compatibility with title and recording workflows; check connectivity with your LOS and document management systems.

Security and compliance elements to include

Encryption: TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit; AES-256 at rest
Audit Trail: Timestamped events and signer metadata
HIPAA: BAA available where needed
ESIGN / UETA: Compliant e-signature legal framework
Access Controls: Role-based permissions and SSO
Retention: Tamper-evident storage and export

Consequences of errors or omissions

Loan Enforcement: Ambiguous terms risk foreclosure
Recording Rejection: Incorrect notary details can block recording
Tax Withholding: Incorrect borrower info affects reporting
Invalid Signature: Poor authentication may invalidate signature
Servicing Delays: Errors cause payoff and escrow delays
Legal Exposure: Disputes over maturity date or amount

Common preparation mistakes to avoid

  • Using incomplete borrower names or initials only; this creates mismatch with title records and servicing systems.
  • Entering inconsistent maturity dates between the rider and the promissory note, which can produce enforceability conflicts at payoff.
  • Skipping notarization or witness steps where required by recording jurisdiction; this can lead to rejection at the county recorder.
  • Failing to preserve the signed file with its audit trail; absence of retention evidence complicates disputes and loan transfers.
