charlotte: Want To Cut Your Mortgage Payment? Here’s A Little-Known Strategy That May Be Worth Looking Into
- 01/13/11 12:03 PM

The strategy, called "recasting" or "re-amortization" involves paying off a lump sum of the principal amount and then asking your lender to reset the monthly payments using the original interest rate and loan terms.

Not all lenders or servicers will allow you to do this, but it may be worth making a phone call and looking into it. … (0 comments)

North Carolina law states that all counties must revaluate property values at least every eight years. Mecklenburg county's last revaluation was in 2003.
