FHA REFINANCE: STREAMLINED REFINANCING

This refinancing option is considered streamlined because it allows you to reduce the interest rate on your current home loan quickly and oftentimes without an appraisal. FHA Streamlined Refinance also cuts down on the amount of paperwork that must be completed by your lender saving you valuable time and money.

In order to qualify for a Streamlined Refinance your original home loan must be an FHA loan in good standing and the refinance must lower your monthly interest payments. This type of refinancing option reduces your monthly expenses by lowering your payments but there is no option to receive cash back. This works well for people who are in good financial standing with no significant debt because it allows you a little extra money each month that can be put to good use elsewhere.

If you have a conventional loan you wish to refinance with an FHA refinance loan, you’ll need to apply with the usual employment verification, credit check, debte ratio requirements and other considerations. An FHA refinance loan can get you many of the same results, and you may get better rates and lower payments.
