VA IRRRL Funding Fee

VA IRRRL Funding Fee

The VA IRRRL Funding Fee is only .5%, and disabled veterans are exempt on paying the funding fee. If you are considering refinancing your VA loan, the VA IRRRL is the way to go.

In most instances, a VA IRRRL Refinance can be done at an extremely low rate with no closing costs except the funding fee, and in many cases, the funding fee will be paid for by the lender as well!

The low VA IRRRL Funding Fee is a stark contrast to the relatively high VA funding fee when purchasing a home, but the great value in a VA loan remains the fact that there is no monthly mortgage insurance payment.

The funding fee can be "financed" into your new loan. Here is an example of how the VA IRRRL Funding Fee is calculated:

$200,000 base loan amount

$1000 VA IRRRL Funding Fee (.5% x $200,000)

$201,000 total new loan amount

We can now also help if you owe more on your home than it is worth. We have lenders who have removed the requirement for an appraisal on a VA to VA IRRRL Refinance. It has never been a VA requirement to have an appraisal on this type of refinance, but lenders over the past years have implemented "overlays" into their guidelines, requiring an appraisal in most cases.

Here is a summary of all VA Funding Fees for different situations, from our VA website:
