Mortgage Recasting: What You Should Know A mortgage recasting, or loan recast, is when a borrower makes a large, lump-sum payment toward the principal balance of their mortgage and the lender, in turn, reamortizes the loan. This means that your loan and payments are reduced to reflect the new balance. It allows borrowers the opportunity to close with just 5% down. Once the current home is sold, borrower can recast to use the proceeds from the sale to buy down the principle balance to reduce monthly payment and eliminate PMI.
Recasting Highlights:
41
•
Minimum of $5000 principal reduction
•
$300 Nominal fee
•
Borrower can reduce the principal balance
•
New American Funding will re-amortize the loan based on the remaining term and payments will be reduced
•
Recast for Conventional Loan (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae)
•
Multiple Recasts can be completed during the life of the loan
•
Only one document is needed for recast: Borrowers must provide a Recast Modification Agreement which they will execute and have notarized
•
The first principal and interest payment must be made on the original note
•
PMI can be eliminated in some scenarios
Buydown Programs
42
Temporary Buydown A temporary buydown lowers the effective interest rate for the first few years of the mortgage. This reduction is a result of the deposit of a lump sum into an escrow account, a portion of which is released each month to reduce the borrower’s payments. Temporary Buydowns can be used on Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA Loan Products. These pages will focus on the Seller Paid Buydown.
