Can you “skip” a mortgage payment with a refinance?

Here’s a quick, plain-English breakdown.

• Sometimes you can close before the next payment is due and create short-term cash flow.
• It’s not free money—interest accrues and costs roll into the loan.
• Use it strategically (buffer savings, planned expenses), not as a habit.
• Always request a clear payoff + closing timeline explanation.
