If the Streamline IRRRL doesn’t work for your VA loan refinancing needs the other option is the VA Cash Out refinancing loan. The VA Cash Out refinance loan gives qualified veterans the opportunity to refinance their conventional or VA loan into a lower rate while extracting cash from the home’s equity. This cash can be used toward a number of things and it makes this type of VA refinancing extremely popular.
Don’t confuse this with a home equity loan, which is a second loan that runs alongside your current loan. The VA Cash-Out refinance loan replaces your existing mortgage instead of complementing it, making it an even bigger draw for those looking to refinance with a VA loan program. Homeowners who qualify can refinance up to 100 percent of their home’s value for mortgage debt in some cases. In other cases homeowners can refinance up to a lower percentage and use the cash to cover debt payments and other needs (more on that below),
VA Cash Out refinancing is available no matter what type of loan you are carrying. That means whether you have conventional, FHA or USDA loan, the Cash-Out refinance option is available to you. Most homeowners choose VA Cash-Out refinancing over other types of loans because of the ability to repay the loan over a longer period of time The Cash-Out refinance option also comes with a lower interest rate.
