Anybody offering a refinance where an appraisal is not a requirement? Want to refi my loan that closed in May 2013.

Much more info required.. If your current loan is FHA, VA or USDA, then it's possible to do a refi without an appraisal. But for conventional, unless you have some very strong compensating factors, and loads of equity, then more than likely, you will need an appraisal.

Do you have any FHA loan? Please contact to discuss. Thanks,Nik GreenNMLS # 1080243

There are a few options... If you have an existing FHA, VA, or USDA loan, I can refinance you with no appraisal. But other than that, if you have an existing conventional loan closed in May 2013, you will need an appraisal in 99% of the cases. It is super rare, but with a full file, a lender can run your application through automated underwriting, and you might get super lucky and get an appraisal waiver... But again, maybe 1% of extremely well qualified applicants with low loan-to-value might get that.

The only options where that is likely is if it is already a VA, FHA or USDA mortgage AND you are getting the same type of mortgage again. Otherwise an updated appraisal is almost certainly going to be required.

We can run some scenarios for you. Do you plan to take cash our or just a rate term refi? Also, value vs. what you owe will be key. Yes, there are options to refinance without an appraisal. Call me any time today. 651-636-2840 NMLS 109946

If you have a VA, USDA or FHA loan, you may have an option. Otherwise, you would have to get an appraisal done. I suggest speaking with one or two local loan officers to see what your options are.
