WHAT IS AN IRRRL? Home loans have been around for as long as most of us can remember. As the world hit the 21st Century mark, a major revolution in the field of home loans was witnessed. Homes loans have been divided into subcategories covering different fields with different rules and regulations. Similar to all the other fields, veterans deserve the best when it comes to mortgage rates. For this reason, the VA Streamline Loan Program has introduced an IRRRL, to meet the rising demand of home loans by veterans. However, most veterans might not be properly familiar with an IRRRL and they might be losing a lot of money in the process. Let us talk about some of the major aspects related to an IRRRL starting with what it actually means. WHAT IS AN IRRRL? An IRRRL is short for an Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan. Most people, especially veterans, might have come across this loan termed as the VA loan or VA Streamline. An IRRRL loan is used to refinance an existing VA loan, which is guaranteed, for two of the following reasons. – Reducing the interest rate – Refinancing an ARM or adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage When an IRRRL lowers your interest rate, your monthly mortgage payment is most probably decreased, thus giving you a chance to save money every month. FACTS ABOUT IRRRL: There are some facts about an IRRRL which most veterans are confused about.
– When you are applying for an IRRRL, you do not need an appraisal or credit underwriting package. – There is a chance that you might be able to apply for an IRRRL with no out-of-pocket money. This is possible if you add all the costs into the new loan or set the interest rate high enough that the lender is capable of paying all the costs. – When you are refinancing from an existing VA loan (ARM) to a fixed rate loan, the interest rate might increase. – You do not need a lender to give you an IRRRL. However, you can choose a lender to apply for an IRRRL on your behalf. – You need to contact a few different lenders if you are a veteran, as the terms and conditions might vary in your case. – It is possible that you may NOT receive any money from the proceedings of the VA loan. HOW TO QUALIFY? An IRRRL can be issued only if you are looking to refinance an existing property on which you have already used your eligibility for a VA loan. In order to apply, you have to make sure that it is a VA to VA loan refinance and is using the same entitlement as before. LIMITS OF VA LOAN: Although the VA has not put a limit on the amount a veteran can borrow to refinance his or her home, the amount of liability they can assume is limited. These limitations can affect the amount a lender is willing to loan you. Although the basic entitlement available for each eligible veteran is $36,000, the conditions and terms still vary from country to country. An IRRRL is one of the best home loan options for an eligible veteran who is looking to refinance their home or lower their interest rates.
