VA IRRRL: Simple VA Streamline Refinance
VA IRRRL: What It Is and How It Works
Short answer: A VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) is a VA Streamline Refinance that can lower your payment or move you to a fixed rate with limited paperwork. The JD.Mortgage team at PRMG helps eligible veterans and service members use this fast path to a simpler mortgage.
Quick Basics
- You must already have a VA Loan on the home you’re refinancing.
- No cash back to you, aside from minor adjustments at closing.
- Often no appraisal or income re-underwrite is needed.
- Goal: a clear Net Tangible Benefit like lower payment or safer rate.
Who Can Use an IRRRL?
If you currently have a VA Loan and meet seasoning rules, you may qualify. Occupancy can be prior occupancy for most cases. The JD.Mortgage team will confirm your eligibility and timing.
Costs and Timing
Costs are generally lower than a standard refi. The VA funding fee for IRRRLs is typically smaller than a purchase VA fee. Many clients close quickly because documents are limited.
