What is a mortgage recast?

A mortgage recast is when your lender recalculates the monthly payments on your current loan balance. When you purchase a home, an amortization schedule is generated that shows your monthly payments, current balance, interest, and principal payments that you will make throughout the loan. A mortgage recast will generate a new amortization schedule based on the outstanding balance and term.

How does a mortgage recast work?

To recast a mortgage, the borrower must make a one-time lump sum payment to reduce the remaining balance of the mortgage. Most lenders have a minimum requirement on how much the borrower will pay as a one-time payment for a mortgage recast. There will also be a mortgage recast fee the lender will charge. The fee varies from lender to lender but is usually around $250 to $500. Recasting a mortgage will reduce your current balance, lower your monthly payments, and save money on interest over the life of the loan. The interest rate and the loan term remain the same.

Mortgage Recast Example

For example, you have a mortgage balance of $300,000 at a 6% interest rate and a monthly payment of $1,800 on a 30-year fixed interest rate mortgage. If you make a lump sum payment of $70,000 to recast your loan, your outstanding balance will be reduced to $230,000, and your monthly payment will be lowered to around $1,380. The mortgage recast will save you up to $80,000 in interest savings. The exact savings will depend on the remaining term. If you have already made 10 years of payments for your mortgage, the savings will be less than if you were only 5 years into the mortgage. Not only does the size of the lump sum payment determine how much you can save, but also the number of remaining years on your loan term will impact the result.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Mortgage Recast

There are benefits and drawbacks of a mortgage recasting compared to other alternatives such as mortgage refinance, or making extra payments to reduce principal without a recast.

Pros of mortgage recast

Save money - the main advantage of a mortgage recast is that it allows borrowers to save money on interest payments throughout the remaining term.
Lower monthly payment - recasting your mortgage will lower your monthly payments than what you are currently paying.
No credit check - for those who have a low or bad credit score, this is good news. There won't be any credit or income checks because it is not a new loan. Your mortgage rate won't be affected by a mortgage recast.

Despite the benefits, mortgage recast does come with some downsides and limitations.

Cons of mortgage recast

Large lump sum payment - for a mortgage recast to work effectively in reducing your monthly payments and overall interest savings, you will need a large one-time lump sum payment.

Unfortunately, not many people have that kind of spare money in their hands. If you don't have a large lump sum but still want to save some interest payments, you can make extra payments towards your principal instead of a mortgage recast.
The interest rate doesn't change - if the mortgage rate is declining and your credit score is improving, refinancing your mortgage gives you the opportunity to lower your interest rate. Unfortunately, you can't lower your mortgage rates with a recast.
Loan term doesn't change - if you want to shorten your mortgage term, you can't do it with a mortgage recast. In that case, refinancing your mortgage may be a better option.
Can't convert an ARM to fixed interest - if you have an adjustable-rate mortgage and want to convert it into a fixed-rate mortgage, you can't do that with a mortgage recast. Refinancing may be your only option.
Tie up cash - if you have other investment opportunities, a mortgage recast will tie up your cash as a lump sum payment is required. If you need this case for other ventures, a mortgage recast might not be the best option.

Mortgage Recast vs. Refinance

There are many differences and similarities between a mortgage recast and refinance, the following tables show which is the better option for you.

	Recasting	Refinancing
Mortgage Recasting Vs. Mortgage Refinancing
Lump Sum Payment	Yes	No
Lower monthly payments	Yes	Maybe, depending on the new loan term and interest rate.
Credit Check	No	Yes
Income Check	No	Yes
Closing Costs	No, only pay a $250-$500 recasting fee	Yes, just like a mortgage, refinance has closing costs that may include application fee, appraisal fee, attorney fees, credit check fees, title search & insurance fees.
ARM to fixed interest mortgage	No	Yes
Lower interest rate	No	Yes, if your credit score has improved and mortgage rates have declined since you got your mortgage, you may qualify for a lower interest rate.
Shorten loan terms	No	Yes, you can shorten the existing term. For example, if you have 23 years remaining on your 30-year fixed mortgage, you can refinance to a 15-year mortgage. This will likely result in higher monthly payments, but you will save money overall.
