Title: Understanding VA Streamline Refinance (IRRRL): A Veteran’s Guide
Introduction
Hi, my name is Kevin Retcher, and I’m the owner of First Meridian Mortgage. Today, I want to discuss the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL), commonly known as the VA Streamline Refinance or VA IRRRL. As a veteran-owned business, it's my favorite loan product because I love taking care of our veterans. Here’s what you need to know about this valuable refinancing option.
Why Consider a VA Streamline Refinance?
For veterans who closed on a VA loan in November or December of 2023, you likely locked in an interest rate around 7%. Given that you’re coming up on your 210-day timeframe, you may now be eligible for a VA IRRRL. This streamlined process can significantly reduce your payments and offer considerable savings.
Understanding the Costs
Let's break down the costs for a $600,000 refinance in Virginia:
- **Average Closing Costs**: Approximately $4,200
- **VA Funding Fee**: Around $3,000 if not exempt
To cover all these costs, you would need approximately $7,190.
Loan Options
Here are some of the best options available:
1. **6.5% Interest Rate**: With a 720 credit score, you can receive a 1.2% credit, covering all costs including the VA funding fee.
2. **6.25% Interest Rate**: This option offers a 0.911% credit, which would cover all the closing costs (about $5,400). The remaining $1,700 would be recouped within about 5.5 months. If you are exempt this would be a free deal and you would make money!
One major benefit of the VA IRRRL is the lack of requirement for an appraisal or income verification. The process is streamlined and typically takes.
