Talk to me about mortgage recasting?

What is mortgage recasting? How do i know if I should do it? And how often should I do it? I took out a loan $350K at 6.6% last year. Thanks!

A Recast is a way of restarting the amortization of your current mortgage terms. Depending on the lender, you may have to pay a minimum amount in order to recast. If you had an original mortgage term of 30 years, the lender would restart your amortization based on the amount owed currently and a 6.6% rate. This would decrease the monthly payment from what you are paying currently. A recast would make sense for someone that has an interest rate that is below market rates. Many Americans have rates under 4% that do not want to refinance out of fear of losing the low interest rate. I would love to talk further with you to see if I can help meet your goals. I am licensed in Florida and would be happy to help!
