Va irrrl versus va streamline?

Yes, it's the same thing. A VA IRRRL is a "Interest Rate Reduction Loan." There is no income or asset verification (unless you have to bring money to closing such as pay taxes unless you have them rolled up into the loan amount). There is no appraisal required; however, some lenders have a risk overlay that may require a full appraisal, AVM, or no appraisal.

VA IRRRL is for current VA loans to refinance into another VA refinance loan.. Sometimes it's called a streamline, but this term actually refers to FHA streamline refinance loans. Just like VA, FHA has a refinance feature called the streamline refinance, but it for FHA to FHA refinance only.. VA is absolutely the better of the two, which is moot since you can only do a VA IRRRL.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
