What is an FHA Streamline Refinance?
An FHA Streamline Refinance offers a fast and simplified way for homeowners with existing FHA loans to refinance into a lower rate—without a full credit check, income verification, or home appraisal in most cases.
Minimal Documentation
FHA Streamline offers a faster, easier process—often requiring no income verification, employment check, or full credit review, saving you time and hassle compared to traditional refinancing.
No Appraisal Required
In most cases, you don’t need a home appraisal, which helps speed up the process and eliminates upfront costs—ideal if your property value has recently declined or hasn’t changed much.
Lower Payments
Lock in a lower interest rate and reduce your monthly mortgage payment—often by $200 or more, depending on your loan size and current rate. Over time, this can mean significant savings.
Are You Eligible?
To qualify for an FHA Streamline Refinance, you need to meet these basic requirements:
Existing FHA Loan
You must currently have an active FHA-insured mortgage to qualify.
On-Time Payment History
You must have made at least 6 consecutive monthly payments on your current FHA loan, with no more than one 30-day late payment in the past 12 months.
210-Day Waiting Period
A minimum of 210 days must have passed since the closing date of your original FHA mortgage.
Current MIP Status
Your mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) must be fully current and in good standing at the time of application.
Credit Score (Not Always Required)
A full credit check is usually not required, but if one is performed, a score of 620+ is generally preferred. Higher scores (700+) may help you qualify for better interest rates.
