5 years ago we took out a balloon mortgage for 60000. It is currently up for renewal with 24000 left in principal

Current loan officer offered me either a 5 year or 10 year fixed mortgage, both at 4.375% with no early penalty fee.

Could we not just do another balloon at a lower rate?

I plan on paying off the entire balance within 12-24 months tops.

What is my best option as far as least amount of interest and fees go?

take the 10yr fixed and be done with it. As a mortgage loan officer a 24k mortgage is a pain in the arse to get done. so if the same bank/loan officer is offering you those rates and terms up all over it.
