Why Refinance With Lendtrain

See how Lendtrain helps homeowners save on their mortgage refinance.

No Appraisal Typically Required

The VA IRRRL program typically waives the full appraisal requirement, which can save time and money at closing. Lender overlays may apply in some cases.

No Income or Employment Verification (Typically)

Because the IRRRL is a streamline product, income and employment verification are typically not required. This makes the process faster than a standard refinance. Lender overlays may apply.

Reduced Funding Fee

The VA funding fee for an IRRRL is 0.5% of the loan amount, reduced from the higher funding fee on a standard VA purchase or cash-out. The funding fee is waived entirely for veterans with a service-connected disability rating.

Net Tangible Benefit Required

The VA requires every IRRRL to produce a "net tangible benefit" for the veteran — typically a lower interest rate, a lower monthly payment, a shorter term, or moving from an ARM to a fixed rate. This rule protects veterans from churning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VA IRRRL?
A VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan), also called a VA Streamline Refinance, is a refinance product available only to veterans who already have a VA loan. It lets you refinance into a new VA loan with reduced documentation, typically no appraisal, and typically no income verification. The goal is a net tangible benefit — usually a lower rate, a lower payment, a shorter term, or switching from an ARM to a fixed rate.
Who qualifies for a VA IRRRL?
You must already have a VA-backed mortgage on the property. IRRRL is not available to first-time VA borrowers or to refinance a conventional or FHA loan into a VA loan. You must also certify that you currently live in or previously occupied the home. Active duty servicemembers, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses with an existing VA loan can all use the IRRRL program.
Do I need an appraisal for a VA IRRRL?
Typically, no. The VA IRRRL program does not require a new full appraisal in most cases, which saves time and a few hundred dollars at closing. Some lenders may require an appraisal under specific overlay conditions. We will confirm upfront whether an appraisal is needed for your scenario.
What is the VA IRRRL funding fee?
The VA funding fee for an IRRRL is 0.5% of the new loan amount. That is significantly lower than the funding fee on a standard VA purchase or VA cash-out. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating are exempt from the funding fee entirely. The funding fee can typically be rolled into the new loan balance rather than paid out of pocket.
How long do I have to wait before I can do a VA IRRRL?
The VA imposes a 210-day seasoning requirement. You must have made at least 6 consecutive monthly payments on your current VA loan, and 210 days must have passed since the first payment due date before you can close on a VA IRRRL. This rule was put in place to prevent loan churning.
Can I take cash out with a VA IRRRL?
No, the IRRRL is a rate-reduction product, not a cash-out product. You cannot pull equity out of your home with an IRRRL beyond a small amount that may be returned at closing for escrow adjustments. If you want to take cash out of a VA loan, you would use a VA cash-out refinance instead, which is a different product with different requirements including a full appraisal and full income documentation.
What is the net tangible benefit rule?
The VA requires every IRRRL to provide a "net tangible benefit" to the veteran. In practice, this usually means a lower interest rate, a lower monthly principal and interest payment, a shorter loan term, or moving from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage. The rule exists to prevent lenders from refinancing veterans repeatedly without an actual benefit.
Can I roll closing costs into the new VA IRRRL?
Yes. VA IRRRL allows closing costs, the funding fee, and up to two discount points to be rolled into the new loan amount rather than paid out of pocket at closing. This is how many IRRRLs close with no money due from the veteran at the closing table, though total loan balance increases accordingly.
