Your only solution is to get a job with a salary at 3 times your total monthly payments.
Otherwise, use this extra money to pay down your loan.

Hi ASalkever,
being a self employed for 6 month is not enough time, what did you do before that? now as you know there are other factors in Refi, credit fico, Assets,,steady income ( bank statments or paystubs), so you might wanna consider these avenues 1st,,,let me know if you have any other questions, good day.

Use the opportunity to instead pay down the principal.

Yes you will need 2 years in your new business to qualify for a loan.
You will also need to show enough income on your taxes (net income) to cover your new mtg payment and other debts and stay under 42% DTI ratio. This is not an easy task for the majority of self employed borrowers. We have a tendency to write off all our income as to not pay taxes. This mindset will need to change over the next several years if self employed people want to buy or refi homes in the US. We can only hope lenders will come up with an alternative.
You are one of the lucky ones with a great mtg and rate.Good Luck with your new business.

Sorry, but 99% of the lenders out there will require you to have 2 years employment as a self employed borrower. FHA sometimes requires 1, but you will pay in MI.
PAR pricing for a PERFECT borrower is around 4.625 right now, so you still have a really great rate.
Hopefully they will stay this low for the next 1 1/2 years then you can refi! Good luck!
