Decent link.

It really comes down to cash flow and what your looking to do it for.

Recasting is a rare option. Call your mortgage company, they may not even allow it.

They also may require you make an additional lump sum payment. Some banks don't allow you to refinance based on LTV alone from your regular payments.

recasting and PMI have nothing to do with each other.

did you mean refinancing?

PMI is not related to recasting. If you make a lump sum payment to get above your PMI threshold (22% equity?), then the PMI should come off unless you have some FHA loan.

Recasting has nothing to do with the PMI. If you have paid down extra principal and your lender allows recasting (or reamortizing), they just re-calibrate your monthly payments to lower them such that you still have the same final payoff date without changing your interest rate or loan terms.

You should be able to do these two things completely separate from each other assuming your loan allows both to be done.
