What A IRRRL Refi Meant To A Deserving Veteran


Many of our veterans don't know about this fantastic loan program to help you refinance.

Many Veterans don't know about a VA loan, let alone an Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL). Neither did our client.


He had been talking to the wrong lender. As an active-duty service member, he was looking to reduce his interest rate and lower his monthly payment. The lender was looking to move him away from his VA loan to a conventional loan because he had built some equity in the house. Fortunately, one of his buddies referred him to us.


Our veteran came to Gardner Mortgage Group looking to refinance. He had built some equity in the home and was hoping to qualify for a conventional mortgage after talking to a previous lender. Little did he know he had a much better option.


We introduced him to the Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL). IRRRLs are a streamlined VA to VA loan. These loans are typically used to reduce the borrower's interest rate or to convert an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage. 


These loans are ideal for service members and veterans because no appraisal or credit underwriting package is required by the VA. You should be aware, however, that lenders may require an appraisal and credit report anyway. Also, a certificate of eligibility is not required. Your lender can use the VA’s e-mail confirmation procedure for interest rate reduction refinance in lieu of a certificate of eligibility.


Our client was able to refinance quickly and easily after he found the right loan type for him.
