They seem perplexed when I ask for a straight loan with out the balloon payment.

When I did this a while ago, it seemed to be about 10 years or so.There is also the benefit of having SOME of your assets in ROTHs in retirement years as there is NO mandatory distribution requirements when you hit 70.5, and you can also use those tax free withdrawls to help do 'balancing' to keep from stepping up into the next tax bracket.Dan Dietz
