Basically, title.

    I've had my mortgage for a little over 3 years now. I have $220k left on it and 26.5 years.

    My home value is $300k conservatively, maybe $310-315k on the higher end.

    Im paying MIP. My LTV is 73% using the $300k assessment.

    I thought MIP dropped off once your LTV goes below 80%??? But here I am, still paying the $105/month MIP.

    My current interest rate is 6.6%, it's what was the best available rate at the time. I've a car payment and a few credit cards too. Never missed a payment on anything, I have perfect credit.

    I could either refinance and save like $150/month in principle and interest alone, or refinance a 20y and pay $150ish/mo more in principle and interest and shave off 7y of my mortgage. Doesn't sound too bad of a trade off, it would save tens of thousands in interest.

    What's your advice here? Is there anything I'm missing or any other options that would be better?

    I've had my mortgage for 3 years. I have $220k left on it, my home value is $300k. Im paying MIP. Should I refinance?
