🎖 VA Refinance Loans
“Whether you want to lower your rate or tap into equity, VA refinance programs offer flexible, veteran-friendly options.”
📘 Two Powerful Refinance Paths for VA Borrowers
VA refinance loans are designed exclusively for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. There are two main options, each with its own advantages:
🔄 VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) — Fast and simple rate reduction for existing VA loans
💰 VA Cash-Out Refinance — Access your home equity and use it for any purpose
🔄 VA IRRRL (Streamline Refinance)
“Lower your payment without the paperwork.”
The VA IRRRL is a streamlined refinance designed to help you lower your rate or switch to a fixed-rate mortgage — with no appraisal or income documentation required in most cases.
✅ Key Benefits
❌ No home appraisal required
❌ No income or employment verification
📉 Lower your interest rate and monthly payment
🔁 Convert an ARM to a fixed-rate loan
🕒 Fast, low-doc approval process
📌 You must currently have a VA loan to qualify.
💰 VA Cash-Out Refinance
“Use your VA benefit to access 100% of your equity.”
The VA Cash-Out Refinance allows you to replace your existing loan with a new, larger VA loan, and receive the difference in cash. You can use the funds to pay off debt, renovate your home, or cover major life expenses.
✅ Key Benefits
💵 Access up to 100% of your home’s value
💳 Consolidate debt or fund home improvements
