    Delaware VA IRRRL Guidelines – (VA Streamline Refinance)

    Delaware Veterans Administration IRRRL Refinance Loan Guidelines (VA Streamline Refinance)

    If you currently have a Veterans Administration Home Loan, commonly called a VA Loan, then you have the option to do a streamline refinance to lower your interest rate called a Delaware VA IRRRL.  This is called a Delaware VA IRRRL Refinance, which stands for Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan.  You must currently have a VA loan on the property you want to refinance in order to qualify for a VA IRRL.

    VA doesn’t require an appraisal on the property or any kind of credit check but most lenders will require a credit check to verify a minimum of 600 middle FICO score.  Some lenders may also require a conventional exterior appraisal on form 2055 but this is NOT a requirement of the Department of Veteran Affairs, it is a lender overlay.

    VA doesn’t require a new certificate of eligibility for a VA streamline refinance, you will instead get a Prior Loan Validation from VA that can be used by the lender instead.  The VA IRRRL can be done with “no money out of pocket” because you can roll all of the closing costs into the new loan.  The Veterans Administration states that you can roll in your loan payoff, plus allowable fees and closing costs, including funding fee and up to 2 discount points.

    The occupancy requirement for a VA IRRRL set forth by VA is different than when you bought the house.  When you purchase a home with a VA Loan, you must certify that you are going to live in the property as your primary residence.  But when you do a VA Streamline refinance, you only certify that you previously occupied the property.

    You are not allowed to pay off any other mortgages on the property other than the existing VA Loan.  If you currently have a second mortgage, the second mortgage lien holder must agree to subordinate the second mortgage to the new first VA Loan.  If second lien holder refuses to subordinate their loan then you will not be able to complete a VA IRRRL Refinance.

    The Delaware VA IRRRL Loan Process is very Simple:

    1) No income verification required

    2) No assets verification required

    3) No appraisal needed for most lenders, some only require an exterior inspection form 2055.

    4) Funding Fee is only 0.5% which can be financed and if disabled you are exempt from funding fee.

    5) All closing costs and prepaid items can be financed into the new loan

    • Can close with no money at the settlement
    • Can skip next month mortgage payment because rolled into the payoff

    If you are a veteran or the surviving spouse of a veteran then you can apply for VA IRRRL refinance in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia or Pennsylvania by calling 302-703-0727 or you can APPLY ONLINE.   We can close these loans in as little as 10 days so apply now

    Why A Delaware VA Loan?

    WHY A DELAWARE VA LOAN?

    The more you know about our Delaware home loan program for Veterans, the more you will realize how little “red tape” there really is in getting a Delaware VA loan. These loans are often made without any down payment at all which means a veteran can get 100% financing. Aside from the veteran’s certificate of eligibility and the fact that the appraiser is assigned by VA, the application process is not much different than any other type of Delaware mortgage loan. And if the lender is approved for automatic processing and the Lender Appraisal Processing Program (LAPP), as more and more lenders are now, a buyer’s loan can be processed and closed by the lender without waiting for VA’s approval of the credit application or for VA to review the appraisal.Lenders are also able to use VA recognized automated underwriting systems, such as Loan Prospector and Desktop Underwriter, to facilitate the underwriting process. This makes the VA Loan a great program for Delaware First Time Home Buyers who meet the eligibility requirements.
