What is a VA Refinance Loan?

A VA refinance loan comes through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and allows homeowners to use the equity they've earned from their homes and turn it into cash. You can use a VA refinance loan to help pay off high-interest credit card debt, pursue schooling, make home improvements, or pay off liens.

Additionally, veterans may be able to get an interest rate reduction refinance loan (IRRRL) to attain a lower interest rate.

Benefits of a VA Refinance Loan

Any loan from the VA offers several benefits, including:

Lower interest rates: VA loans are government-backed, making them a lower risk for lenders, resulting in lower interest rates.
No mortgage insurance: Thanks to the government backing, VA loans don't require the borrower to have private mortgage insurance (PMI), which lowers monthly payments.
No down payment required: A VA loan is one of the few loans loan types that do not require down payments, allowing you to keep your cash for other projects.
Easier to meet credit requirements: You can qualify for a VA loan with a higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratio than other mortgage programs.

Who Qualifies for a VA Refinance Loan?

VA refinance loan requirements dictate that the borrower be a member of one of these groups:

Military veterans
Active duty service members
Some surviving spouses
Active duty members of the Reserve and National Guard
Current National Guard or Reserve members that have put in six years of service

You or the service member must have been discharged honorably and met any requirements for length of service. Occupancy also must be certified for the property.

To see if you qualify for a VA refinance loan, you must request a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to show the lender. You'll also have to meet your lender's credit and income requirements.
