A United States Veterans Affairs active duty or veteran cash out refinance loan is made to service members, veterans, reservists, and unmarried surviving spouses for the refinancing of conventional, government or VA loans. VA guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the purchaser to obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest rate, even without a down payment if the lender agrees. VA requires that a down payment be made for the purchase of a manufactured home. VA also requires a down payment for a home or condominium if the purchase price exceeds the reasonable value of the property or the loan has a graduated payment feature.
The VA active duty or veteran cash out refinance is only available when transferring from one VA loan to another. The terms of the refinance are similar to those of other loans carrying with it 15-, 20-, 25-, or 30-year options on fixed rate mortgages. Loans are assumable under certain conditions without a prepayment penalty. To qualify for a VA Rate Reduction Refinance your current mortgage must have been paid as agreed for the last 12 months and must be up to date.
Who it's for
VA loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and can be used to purchase a single family home, including a townhouse or condominium unit in a VA approved project, to build a home, and purchase and improve a home. VA financing is designed to benefit veterans of the armed services, those currently in active duty or the reserves, and their spouses. Veterans can qualify to put zero down on a loan up to $417,000.
What you need to do to apply
The VA does not require an appraisal, credit report, or income and employment verifications. It is possible to refinance your mortgage through this program with no out of pocket expenses. This can be done by including the cost of the refinance into the new loan or by increasing the interest rate on the new loan and allowing the lender to pay the costs.
