Curious if anyone here actually managed to make one work without stress? Or is it mostly regret stories?

- Had a balloon mortgage on my first place—looked great until the market dipped and suddenly refinancing wasn’t an option.
- Ended up scrambling to sell, which was stressful and not ideal timing.
- I’ve heard of folks who timed it right and saved on interest, but honestly, seems like luck plays a big part.
- Has anyone here actually planned for the balloon and had it go as expected, or is it always a bit of a nail-biter?
