FHA Streamline Refinance refers to the refinance of an existing FHA-insured mortgage that requires restricted borrower credit documentation and underwriting. These are available through credit and non-credit qualifying options.
The basic requirements of a streamline refinance include:
- Mortgage must be FHA-insured
- Mortgage must be current (not delinquent)
- Refinance gives a net tangible benefit to the borrower, which varies based on the type of loan being financed, interest rate, and/or term of the new loan
- Cash greater than $500 cannot be taken out
- Investment properties are only eligible if the borrower is HUD-approved as a nonprofit borrower, state/local government agency, or an instrumentality of government
Lenders can offer streamline refinances with “no cost” to the borrower (no out-of-pocket expenses), except closing costs incurred during the deal. Lending agents are able to accomplish this by charging a higher interest rate on the new loan compared to the borrower financing or paying closing costs in cash.
