Paying off your mortgage faster via a cash-in refinance is a smart way to build equity while potentially securing a lower rate. If you have an FHA loan, though, you must wait at least 6 months before refinancing with the FHA streamline program.
Every time you refinance your home you restart the clock and pay less principal. This makes it take longer to pay off your home. One way to mitigate this problem is to refinance to a shorter-term loan. For instance, a 10-year-old $200,000 30-year mortgage at seven percent carries a monthly payment of $1,331. If you were to refinance the remaining $171,953 balance for 20 years at 5 percent, you would pay the loan off in the same amount of time and save almost $200 a month based on the new payment of $1,135.
