Types of Refinancing Using Veterans Affairs Mortgage Eligibility
Streamline Refinance
If you currently have a VA Mortgage and would like to lower your interest rate, the Streamline Refinance is the best option. This is also known as an Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL).
The new loan must close at least 210 days after the first payment due date on the old transaction and the Veteran must have made at least 6 consecutive on time mortgage payments. There are not any out of pocket costs and minimal additional documentation is required. The primary requirement is the current mortgage must have been paid on time for the past 7 months.
Conventional to Veteran Affairs Loan Refinance
If your current mortgage is a conventional, FHA, USDA, owner financed or other program, you may be eligible to refinance to a lower rate and payment using your benefits. Veteran mortgage rates are very competitive, do not have mortgage insurance and may be able to give you a lower rate and payment than your current mortgage.
A VA refinance loan amount is eligible for up to 100% of the current appraised value of your home. Many lenders will not lend up to 100% of the appraised value on a VA refinance. Also, with improvements in current market values your home may now appraise for the amount needed to pay off your current loan.
Cash Out Refinance
Due to state specific laws regarding cash out refinance loans, a VA refinance where cash equity is taken out of the home is not available in Texas. VA cash out refinances are generally available in other states.
