WHAT IS A VA
LOAN?

VA home loans can be used to help Purchase a new home or Refinance an existing mortgage with either the IRRRL Streamline Refinance or a cash out refinance. VA loans are one of the most popular choices among eligible first time home buyers because of the exceptional benefits they offer military borrowers.

VA STREAMLINE REFINANCE:

VA homeowners can lower their interest rate with little or no out-of-pocket costs with a VA Streamline Refinance program. These loans can also be made faster and with less documentation than a typical loan.

An Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) or Streamline Refinance allows you to refinance your current mortgage interest rate to a lower rate than you are currently paying (or to refinance from an adjustable-rate mortgage into a fixed-rate one). This is only available to veterans who are refinancing a VA mortgage.

“No Cost” Streamlines let you refinance your mortgage with no out-of-pocket expenses. One option is to let the lender pay the costs in exchange for a higher interest rate. Another option that lets you obtain market rates is to roll the closing costs into the new loan.

Unlike a Cash-Out refinance, veterans don’t need to intend to occupy the home to obtain a Streamline refinance. Prior occupancy is all that’s required for a Streamline. Some lenders may not require a credit score or appraisal in certain situations for veterans considering a VA Streamline.

HOME EQUITY REFINANCING:

A VA refinance transaction involves repayment of your current real estate debt from the proceeds of your new VA mortgage that has the same borrower(s) using the same property. This is called a “Cash-Out” Refinance.

Here are a few common reasons to take cash out of the equity in your home:

  • Consolidate high interest credit card debt.
  • Pay for college tuition.
  • Buy a new car.
  • Make home improvements to your home.

Cash-Out Refinances are used for homes that are used as a principal residence by its owner. That owner can refinance in some cases up to 100 percent of the home’s appraised value plus allowable costs and fees. Homeowners who have sufficient equity in their homes may be able to take out cash beyond what they owe on their mortgage.

This VA refinance option is available to veterans who currently have a VA loan as well as to those who have other types of home financing. The Cash-Out option is how a veteran with a non-VA-loan can obtain a VA-backed mortgage. Credit and underwriting standards can vary, and they’re typically more like a VA purchase loan when pursuing a Cash-Out refinance.
