You do not need to pay any mortgage insurance If you have an existing conventional mortgage loan and pay for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), then you must seriously consider getting a VA Mortgage Refinance. You can get a VA refinance loan, which can be worth 100% of the value of your home. There are limits on certain loan fees such as the closing costs and others, which keeps the cost of refinancing low. It is also quite easy to qualify, as the requirement for debt ratio is quite lenient. With a VA Loan Refinance, you might expect to save thousands of dollars over the loan duration. However, the amount you would actually save would depend on the amount that you are paying now for mortgage insurance.
You Might be Eligible for a VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan If you have a VA Loan already, then you might be eligible for a VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, also known as a VA Streamline Refinance. Hawaii veterans, who want to refinance their existing VA mortgages to lower the interest rate, can consider getting such a loan. You do not need to go through any appraisals, loan verification or credit check. Hence, you don't have to make any 'out-of-the-pocket' expenses.
Other Loan Options available to Texans Apart from VA mortgage refinances (which is a program initiated by the Department of Veteran Affairs of the US Government), veterans in Hawaii also have three other options offered to them by the Hawaii Veterans Land Board. The three programs include housing assistance, home loans and home improvement loans. Although these might not be helpful for people who want to reduce the interest rate, as refinancing option is still not available for these programs. However, if you want to get a cash-out refinance, then the offerings of the Hawaii Veteran Land Board must be considered.
