Common Questions

How does the 0.5% Funding Fee work?

The VA charges a significantly reduced Funding Fee of just 0.5% for the IRRRL program. This fee can be fully financed into the loan, and Veterans with a service-connected disability rating are often exempt from paying this fee entirely—we’ll verify your status instantly via your electronic COE.

What is the 36-Month Recoupment Rule?

VA guidelines require that the total costs of the refinance must be “recouped” through your monthly savings within 36 months. We perform this calculation upfront to ensure the loan provides a clear, documented financial benefit to you before moving forward.

Can I skip a mortgage payment?

Yes. One of the logistical perks of the IRRRL process is the timing of your payoff. Depending on our closing date, you can typically skip one month’s mortgage payment, giving you an immediate cash-flow cushion during the transition to your new lower rate.

FAQ’s about VA Streamline Refinances

How does the 0.5% Funding Fee work?

The VA charges a significantly reduced Funding Fee of just 0.5% for the IRRRL program, which is much lower than the fee for a standard purchase or cash-out loan. This fee can be fully financed into your new loan amount, and Veterans with a service-connected disability rating are often exempt from paying this fee entirely. We will verify your exemption status instantly via your electronic Certificate of Eligibility (COE).

What is the 36-Month Recoupment Rule?

To protect Veterans from “loan churning,” VA guidelines require that the total costs of the refinance must be “recouped” (paid back) through your monthly savings within 36 months. As a Top 1% originator, I perform this mathematical analysis upfront to ensure your new loan provides a clear, documented financial benefit that meets these strict “Safe Harbor” standards.

Can I skip a mortgage payment during the transition?

Yes. One of the logistical perks of the IRRRL process is the timing of your payoff. Depending on which day of the month we close, you can typically skip one month’s mortgage payment. This provides an immediate cash-flow cushion as you transition into your new, lower interest rate without any out-of-pocket costs.
