VA IRRRL – VA Streamline Refinance
The VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) is a streamlined refinance option for eligible VA borrowers in California and Georgia who want to improve their rate or payment.
This page explains how VA Streamlines work and how they differ from a standard rate-and-term refinance or cash-out refi.
What Is a VA IRRRL?
A VA IRRRL allows eligible veterans and service members with an existing VA loan to refinance into a new VA loan with potentially better terms.
- Available only for current VA loans
- Often simplified documentation and underwriting
- Typically used to lower rate, change term, or move from ARM to fixed
Who Is a VA IRRRL Best For?
This option may be ideal if you:
- Already have a VA mortgage
- Are current on your payments
- Want to reduce your rate or stabilize your payment
VA IRRRL vs Other Refi Options
Compared to standard refis, a VA IRRRL may:
- Require less paperwork and documentation
- Have limits on cash back at closing
- Focus on improving payment rather than tapping equity
If you want to access equity, review the Cash-Out Refinance page as well.
