Check Your Eligibility Today

The VA IRRRL, also known as the “VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan,” offers a straightforward solution for veterans looking to refinance their current VA loan at more favorable terms.

With the VA IRRRL, there’s less documentation (no credit, income, or employment verification) and you might not need an appraisal. Closing costs also tend to be lower and can be rolled into your loan to eliminate upfront charges.

Benefits of VA Refinancing:

  • Lower interest rates

  • No private mortgage insurance (PMI) required

  • Flexible credit requirements

  • Cash-out options

Documentation needed:

  • Last mortgage statement

  • Current insurance binder

  • Note from last closing

  • Valid/current ID for all borrowers

Current VA IRRRL Requirements

  • The borrower must currently have a VA-backed home loan.

  • The property being refinanced must be the borrower’s primary residence.

  • The borrower should have payment history of 6 months on the existing VA loan, with no more than one late payment in the past 12 months.

  • The refinance must result in a tangible benefit to the borrower, such as a lower interest rate, lower monthly payment, or a move from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage.

  • In most cases, a funding fee is required, but it can be included in the loan amount.

  • IRRRL is designed for rate and term refinancing only; it does not allow for cash-out refinancing.

  • In many cases, an appraisal or credit underwriting may not be required, making the process more streamlined.

Upstream Mortgage is a boutique mortgage broker shop, based in Twin Cities of Minnesota. We are partnered with CFR Mortgage for access to elite wholesale relationships. We service MN, WI, and FL with expansion to other states coming soon. After having worked in large retail mortgage we realized there was far too much waste, and way too many human layers to the process, making it inefficient as well as expensive. We wanted our entire company to only have team members with the same experience, ethics, and vison. It is not easy to join Upstream Mortgage unlike every other mortgage company begging for loan officers. We are exclusive in regards to who is qualified to become a part of our organization.

  • Amazing Job

    Ryan is absolutely amazing! He has done a fantastic job educating me in the entire process, coaching me, and making sure I got the best interest rates on my Refi. He and his team was so responsive to all of my questions. The one thing Ryan did before officially locking my rates is he did a final review and saw he could get me an additional .25% lower. Would highly recommend him and his team!

  • Fabulous

    Ryan is very knowledgeable and I felt like he shared that knowledge to help make important decisions based on my specific circumstances and options. You always want to feel you trust the person you are working with and they are not out to make as much money or commission on you as they can. I definitely felt that trust with Ryan.
