What is the VA IRRRL Program?

The VA IRRRL program is a mortgage option specifically designed to help active and non-active duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses achieve current market interest rates through the format of a streamlined process. Backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), these loans are issued by private lenders such as banks and mortgage companies to help veterans achieve savings with favorable terms and conditions.

The goal behind this program is threefold. The government benefits as a reduction in interest rates decreases the likelihood of mortgage default or delinquency. Our veterans secure reduction in both interest rate and monthly payment, translating to savings in your pocket (cashflow). With delegated LAPP authority through the VA, companies like Cazle facilitate these transactions and generate a small premium through loan originations.

We look forward to serving you, just as you have us!

VA loans can be used to purchase various types of primary residences, including single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-unit properties (up to four units).
Yes, VA loans offer options for purchasing homes in need of renovation. The VA offers a renovation loan, called the VA Renovation Loan, which allows borrowers to finance both the purchase price and the cost of improvements.
Yes, VA loans typically involve a VA funding fee, which can vary based on factors such as your military category, down payment amount (if any), and whether it's your first or subsequent VA loan.

When you sell your home, the VA loan can be paid off with the proceeds from the sale. You can then apply for a new VA loan for your next home purchase if you meet the eligibility criteria.
If the borrower of a VA loan passes away, the loan does not automatically transfer to a surviving spouse or heir. However, if the surviving spouse is eligible for VA home loan benefits, they may be able to assume the existing VA loan or apply for a new VA loan, provided they meet the VA's eligibility requirements. If not, the loan may need to be refinanced or paid off through other means, such as selling the home. It's advisable for surviving spouses or heirs to contact the VA or a mortgage specialist to explore their options promptly.
When planning your estate, it's essential to consider how your VA loan and home assets will be handled. While VA loans don't automatically transfer to heirs upon your passing, surviving spouses who meet VA eligibility criteria may assume the loan or obtain a new VA loan. For other heirs, options include refinancing the loan or selling the home to satisfy the debt. It's advisable to discuss your specific situation with a financial advisor or estate planner to ensure your wishes are met and your loved ones understand the implications of your VA loan on your estate.
