You served your country.
Now let your VA loan serve you.
Millions of veterans are leaving money on the table by not refinancing their VA loans. Learn how VA refinancing works — and whether it could save you money.
What Is VA Loan Refinancing?
If you have a VA-backed home loan, you may be eligible to refinance it — potentially lowering your monthly payments, reducing your interest rate, or accessing the equity you've built in your home.
VA refinance programs are backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and offer terms that are typically more favorable than conventional refinance options. There are two primary types: the VA IRRRL (Streamline Refinance) and the VA Cash-Out Refinance.
Choose Your Path
Two powerful programs. Both designed for veterans like you.
VA Streamline Refinance
(VA IRRRL)
Already have a VA loan? The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan lets you lower your rate with minimal paperwork, no appraisal, and no out-of-pocket costs in most cases.
- No appraisal required
- Reduced documentation
- Lower monthly payments
- Fast closing timeline
VA Cash-Out Refinance
Tap into the equity you've built in your home. Use the funds for home improvements, debt consolidation, education, or any other purpose — at competitive VA rates.
- Borrow up to 100% of home value
- Open to all veterans, not just VA loan holders
- Potentially lower your rate too
- Flexible use of funds
