• DEFERRED INTEREST
  
  Occurs when your monthly payments are not large enough to pay all the interest due on the loan. This unpaid interest is added to the unpaid balance of the loan. The danger of deferring your interest is that the buyer ends up owing more than the original amount of the loan. Also called Negative Amortization.
