What is
a Mortgage Loan Recast?
A mortgage loan recast is when you pay a substantial amount of principal on your loan to reduce the
balance and monthly payment.
How does a Mortgage Loan Recast Work?
If approved, you make a substantial (minimum of $10,000) lump sum payment to reduce the lo

interest rate and time remaining under the original mortgage term
