You can refinance anytime you wish.. if you don't have 20% equity, you will pay MI on the new loan, however with conventional financing, once you pay for 2 years, and once you hit 20% equity, you can ask the lender to remove the MI and you wont have to refinance to do it.. with FHA, if your loan was initiated prior to June 3, 2013, then your MI will drop once you have paid for at least 5 years, and once your loan has been paid down 22% from where it started.. if it was initiated after June 3rd, 2013, then your MI is most likely there for the life of the loan and the only way to remove it would be to refinance out of it..
