Frequently Asked Questions

What information will you need from me?

We'll ask for your zip code, property type, current loan balance, annual income and employment status, and an estimate of your credit score. For a streamline refinance the process is straightforward since less documentation is required than a standard refinance.

Will I get a bunch of phone calls from multiple lenders?

No. We match you with a single lender who offers VA refinance loans in your area. If they can't meet your needs you'll have the option to view other offers. You stay in control at all times.

What am I committing to?

Nothing. By answering a few questions you're giving us permission to match you with a lender who can show you a competitive IRRRL or VA refinance rate. The consultation is free with no obligation.

What is the VA IRRRL program?

The IRRRL is a VA refinance program exclusively for veterans and servicemembers who already have a VA-backed loan. Its purpose is to reduce your monthly payment or move you from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate with minimal paperwork and no appraisal required in most cases.

Can I refinance a Navy Federal or USAA VA loan through this program?

Yes. The IRRRL applies to any existing VA-backed loan regardless of which lender originally issued it. You can refinance your Navy Federal or USAA VA loan with any VA-approved lender.

How much can I save with a VA streamline refinance?

Savings depend on the difference between your current rate and today's IRRRL rates plus your remaining loan balance. Veterans refinancing from rates above 6.5% into current market rates may save $200 to $500 per month depending on loan size.

Do I need a new appraisal for an IRRRL?

In most cases no. The VA streamline program is designed to reduce documentation requirements. Most lenders do not require a new home appraisal, which speeds up the process significantly.

How long does a VA streamline refinance take?

Most IRRRL closings complete in 30 days or less. Because documentation requirements are reduced the process moves faster than a standard refinance.

How do you keep my information secure?

Your information is encrypted using the same technology banks use. We only share your details with the lender you are matched with, and no one else.
