There are several strategies to prepare for a balloon payment at the end of a loan term. First, you can start saving a specific amount every month from the beginning of the loan term. This way, you will have a substantial amount by the time you need to make the balloon payment. Second, you can invest in a financial product that matures around the time the balloon payment is due. This can provide the necessary funds when needed. Third, you can plan to refinance the balloon payment at the end of the loan term. However, this option depends on your financial situation and market conditions at that time. Lastly, you can sell the asset (like a house or car) that the loan was used to purchase, to make the balloon payment. However, this should be a last resort as it would mean giving up the asset.
