Finance
Iowa's seller financing may include an 'interest only' period in which:
AThe buyer pays no money at all for a specified period
BMonthly payments cover only the interest with no principal reduction, resulting in the full loan balance remaining at period end✓ Correct
CThe seller receives only interest as their profit
DInterest accrues but is not paid until the balloon date
Explanation
An interest-only period means the borrower's payments cover only accrued interest; the principal balance does not reduce. At the end of the interest-only period, payments adjust (often increasing substantially) to amortize the full remaining balance.
