VA Loan Refinance

If you’ve already used your VA home loan benefits, you may still be able to save money or secure better mortgage terms through refinancing.

VA loan refinancing allows eligible veterans, active-duty military members, and certain surviving spouses to replace an existing mortgage with a new loan. This may be beneficial if interest rates have dropped, your financial situation has improved, or you’ve built equity in your home.

The refinancing process is similar to purchasing a home, but without the home search or purchase negotiations. Our mortgage specialists can help you review your current loan and explore available refinancing options.

There are two main VA refinancing programs available to eligible borrowers.

VA Streamline Refinance (IRRRL): Also known as an Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, a VA Streamline Refinance allows eligible homeowners with an existing VA loan to refinance with a simpler application process and potentially less documentation. This option may help you secure a lower interest rate or switch from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate mortgage.

VA Cash-Out Refinance: A cash-out refinance allows qualified homeowners to access some of their home’s equity by replacing their current mortgage with a new loan. The funds can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, major purchases, or other financial needs. This option may also allow eligible borrowers to refinance a conventional, FHA, or USDA mortgage into a VA loan.

Refinancing requirements depend on the loan program, your current mortgage, and your financial qualifications.

A VA Streamline Refinance typically has fewer documentation requirements, while a cash-out refinance generally involves a more detailed review of your income, credit, and property value.

Refinancing may reduce your monthly payments, but closing costs, funding fees, and changes to your loan term can increase your total borrowing costs.
