Title: Should I Refinance My VA Home Loan
1Should I Refinance My VA Home Loan?
2Home loans for veterans under the VA program can
be refinanced.
3If you have a home loan under the VA program, you
can enjoy the lower interest rates that are now
available.
4Refinancing can be an effective tool to manage
your household finances.
5Why Refinance?
6First, you should always consider the effect of
closing costs on your decision to refinance and
whether extending your mortgage to a longer
period will help you in the long run.
7Common reasons individuals refinance are
8Lower interest rates - The lower rate can help
you to save money on your loan over the long term.
9Consolidating home equity loan debt - If you have
a home equity loan, in addition to a mortgage
loan, you can combine the two into a single,
lower payment.
10Paying off credit card debt - You can cash out
equity in your home to pay off credit cards and
lower your monthly household expenses.
11Get cash for other needs - You may wish to invest
in some income property that can help your
overall financial goals.
12Perhaps, a family emergency requires some cash. A
refinance loan can help provide money for these
needs.
13Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan
14The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan
provides an easy way to refinance for those who
hold a VA guaranteed loan on their homes.
15However, requirements for eligibility are
slightly different for the IRRRL program
16The Certificate of Eligibility that is required
when first applying for a VA loan is not required
for refinancing under the IRRRL program.
17Only the first mortgage on your loan can be
covered under the program. The holders of a
second mortgage must agree to subordinate their
loan so that the refinance can be the first
mortgage.
18Occupancy requirements for the property are
different under the IRRL program. You must have
occupied the property in the past, but do not
have to occupy it in the future.
19Important Facts To Remember About theIRRRL
Program
20Homeowners who have a VA loan and wish to
refinance should be aware of a number of facts
about the IRRRL program
21No appraisal of the home is required.
22No credit underwriting is required.
23You cannot take cash out from your equity under
this program. When converting from a VA ARM loan
to a fixed-rate loan, the interest may be higher.
24The homeowner may roll the costs of refinancing
into the new loan. Interest rates may vary from
lender to lender.
25Those interested in the program should contact
several lenders to compare interest rates.
26Not all lenders offer the IRRRL program. However.
Any lender that provides VA home loans is
eligible to provide refinancing under IRRL.
27Purchase and Cash-Out Refinance Loan
28Homeowners who wish to take money out of the
equity in their homes must use the Purchase and
Cash-Out Refinance Loan Program to do so.
29If this is your first VA guaranteed loan, you
will have to provide a Certificate of Eligibility
indicating your dates of service.
30Some lenders may not permit cash-out of equity
for refinancing these loans. Lenders who do
permit cash-out from equity may allow up to 100
percent of the home's value.
31The cash-out program can be used to combine a
first and second mortgage under one loan.
