I produced this short video outlining the advantages of a VA Loan. This is the first in a series of short clips on the specifics of the VA Home Loan.

How do I refinance using my Kentucky VA Home Loan?

You can use your Kentucky VA home loan benefit to refinance your existing VA home loan to a lower

interest rate, with little or no out-of-pocket cost. This is called an Interest Rate Reduction

Refinancing Loan (IRRRL), also known as a “rapid refinance” or a “streamline refinance.”

Generally, no appraisal, credit information, or underwriting is required for this refinancing

option, although some lenders may require an appraisal and credit report. The fees and

charges associated with the refinancing loan may be incorporated into the new VA loan.

Remember: The interest rate on the new loan must be lower than the rate on the old loan

(unless you refinance an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage).

To receive an IRRRL, work with your lender to process your application. It’s generally a good
