What is a VA IRRRL?
The VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL)—commonly known as the VA Streamline Refinance—is a fast and simplified way for veterans and active-duty service members to refinance their existing VA home loan into one with a lower interest rate and monthly payment.
Streamlined Process
The VA IRRRL is designed to be hassle-free, with minimal paperwork and no income verification required. You won’t need a new Certificate of Eligibility (COE), as long as you’re refinancing a loan you originally obtained with VA benefits.
Financial Benefits
The main goal of a VA Streamline Refinance is to reduce your interest rate—which can lower your monthly mortgage payment and overall loan cost. You can also switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate VA loan for long-term stability.
Flexible Requirements
Unlike traditional refinances, no appraisal or credit underwriting package is required by the VA, although individual lenders may have their own guidelines. You can also roll closing costs into the new loan, which means you can refinance with little or no out-of-pocket expenses.
Benefits of VA IRRRL
Discover why the VA Streamline Refinance (IRRRL) is one of the fastest and most cost-effective refinance solutions available exclusively for veterans and active service members.
Lower Interest Rate & Monthly Payment
The main advantage of a VA IRRRL is securing a lower interest rate, which leads to reduced monthly payments and long-term savings over the life of your VA loan.
Minimal Paperwork
Compared to conventional refinancing, the IRRRL process is streamlined with less documentation. There’s no income or employment verification required and no need for a new Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
No Out-of-Pocket Costs
You can roll your closing costs into the new loan balance, eliminating the need for upfront cash. Plus, the VA funding fee for IRRRLs is lower than for other VA loans—making this option even more affordable.
No Appraisal Required
The VA Streamline Refinance does not require a home appraisal, which saves both time and money—a major plus if your property value has dropped or you want a fast closing.
Switch from ARM to Fixed-Rate
With a VA IRRRL, you can convert your adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate VA loan, providing greater stability and protection against future rate increases.
Quick Closing
Because of its simplified process and lack of appraisal requirement, most VA IRRRL loans can close in as little as 2–3 weeks, making it one of the fastest refinance options available.
Serving All Who Served
The VA IRRRL benefit is available to veterans and service members from all branches of the U.S. military.

The VA IRRRL is also available to eligible members of the National Guard, Reserves, and surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability.
Are You Eligible?
To qualify for a VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL), you’ll need to meet the following core requirements:
Current VA Loan
You must already have an existing VA loan that you're looking to refinance. The IRRRL program is only available for current VA-backed mortgages.
Current on Payments
You must be current on your VA mortgage, with no more than one 30-day late payment in the past 12 months.
Net Tangible Benefit
Your refinance must provide a clear financial benefit—such as a lower interest rate or converting from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate loan.
Seasoning Period
You must have made at least six monthly payments, and at least 210 days must have passed since the first payment due date on your current VA loan.
Occupancy Requirement
You must certify that you previously lived in the home as your primary residence. You do not need to currently occupy the home.
Lender Requirements
While the VA has minimal requirements, individual lenders may have additional credit score, debt-to-income ratio, or other requirements.
Our VA mortgage specialists can evaluate your unique situation and help determine your eligibility—so you don’t miss out on potential savings.
