VA Streamline Refinance
If you are in a VA home loan now and are looking to refinance, a VA streamline refinance is probably the best option for Veterans. A VA Streamline, also known as an IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan), is a refinancing option that allows veterans in a VA mortgage to refinance with another VA mortgage with added benefits that FHA and conventional loans don’t have. VA streamlines generally require zero money from the borrower at closing and less paperwork.
Benefits of a VA Streamline Refinace:

- Lower closing costs
- Defer up to 2 mortgage payments

Refinancing your VA home loan can save you a hundred dollars or more with each mortgage payment and thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. You can defer up to 2 months payments and any money left in your escrow account will be paid out to you after the refinance loan closes. You may also be eligible for a cash escrow refund after your current loan is paid off.
