What is an FHA Streamline Refinance?
The FHA Streamline is a special refinance program reserved for homeowners with
existing FHA mortgages. It’s the fastest, simplest way for FHA-insured homeowners to refinance their mortgages at today’s low mortgage rates.
Benefits of the FHA Streamline program include:
- Low refinance rates
- Lower Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP)
- Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) refund
- No appraisal
- No verification of job or income
How Does It Work?
The FHA Streamline works like any other refinance product. You take out a new FHA
mortgage, typically with a better interest rate and lower monthly payment, this new mortgage replaces your existing loan.
This product is available as a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage with no FHA prepayment penalty to worry about.
Ask your lender what is best for you.
