IRRRL

Interest Rate Reduction
Refinance Loan

The IRRRL is a refinancing option with a simplified approval process. You can potentially save a lot of money by refinancing with the IRRRL. Your existing VA loan can be refinanced through IRRRL and with it, you can get a lower rate, lower payment, or both. If your current VA loan is at an adjustable rate (meaning the rate can increase over time), with IRRRL you can move the loan to one that’s at a fixed rate. In order to be eligible for this loan, you must:

  • Already have an existing VA-backed loan
  • Be using IRRRL to refinance the VA-backed loan
  • Be living or have lived in the home covered by the loan
Cash Out Refi

Cash our your equity,
do more!

The VA cash-out let you refinance up to 100% of your home’s value, whether your loan is VA-backed or not. This unique loan allows service members and veterans access to a large amount of cash—up to your entire home’s equity—to cover large expenses such as school and medical bills, a car purchase, major home improvements, and more.

With the cash-out option, you can also convert or refinance your non-VA loan into a VA-backed loan for better rates. In order to be eligible for cash-out refinancing, you must meet the VA’s Certificate of Eligibility requirements, credit & income standards, and you must also live in the home you’re refinancing.
