VA Refinance FAQs

What is an IRRRL refinance?
IRRRL is a VA streamline refinance typically used to reduce your rate or payment. It can be simpler than other refinance types depending on the situation.
Does VA refinance have a funding fee?
Often yes, unless you’re exempt (commonly 10%+ disabled / exempt). IRRRL commonly uses a 0.50% funding fee when not exempt. Cash-Out commonly uses 2.15% first use / 3.30% subsequent use when not exempt.
Why is my savings negative?
Savings can be negative if the new rate is higher, the term change increases payment, or you add cash-out that increases the loan amount. Adjust your rate/term and cash-out to see options.
