There is a move most homeowners never hear about. It is called a recast.
You make a large lump payment toward your principal. The lender recalculates your monthly payment based on the new lower balance. Same rate, same term, smaller payment.
No appraisal. No full refinance. No starting the 30-year clock over. Just a smaller payment for a small processing fee.
It is perfect for the bonus, the inheritance, the sale of another property. Money that would sit in savings can buy you a lower payment instead.
Not every loan allows it, so check first. But ask the question before you assume refinancing is your only option.
