This refinance loan lowers your interest rate and principal payment by using your current FHA mortgage. Because of this, you don't need to get an additional appraisal, bank or asset statements, or credit report. Your lender's underwriters can use all of this paperwork from your initial FHA loan. The reduced amount of paperwork makes this loan "streamline" and quick.
An FHA Streamline Refinance loan is only available to homeowners with a current FHA home loan. This means that you've had an FHA loan for 210 days and have made at least 6 on-time monthly payments.
An FHA Streamline refinance allows you to refinance your mortgage using the current interest rate. Depending on what your original interest rate was, this could mean a lower rate and a monthly savings for you.
In some instances, you may be able to lower your monthly payment by refinancing the remaining years of your mortgage into a longer loan term.
An FHA Streamline Refinance loan does not require another appraisal or credit check which not only makes the refinance process quicker, but also cheaper. You may be eligible to pay no money out of pocket at all.
