FHA Streamline Refinance Changes

There is some important news for those of you who have an FHA mortgage.  The changes mean that if you have an FHA mortgage, you can refinance it.  This applies even if you have negative equity or a bad credit score.  No job, income or credit score verifications are done and no appraisal is conducted!

Read below to see if you qualify to refinance your mortgage.

 

The FHA Streamline Refinance program is a refinance program for people with FHA mortgages. The program is open to homeowners in all 50 states and there are just 3 approval criteria:

  • You must have made at least 6 payments on your current FHA mortgage.
  • You must not have made a late payment on your mortgage going back 12 months.
  • Your refinance must have “purpose” (i.e. lower rate; switch from ARM to fixed-rate)

There is no income verifications; no job verifications; no credit score verifications and no home appraisal.

The FHA Streamline Refinance is the original mortgage for “underwater homeowners”, it does not matter what your home loan to value is — your home’s value is completely ignored.  Homeowners are not allowed to increase their loan balances with the program.

In the past banks have largely ignored the program’s no verification instructions.  That is not what was intended by the FHA so some changes are being made. These changes mean that banks will not be penalized for a FHA Streamline Refinance loan that goes bad.

If you have had your application for a FHA Streamline Refinance application previously denied, or maybe you never applied because you were out of work or your credit score was too low.  Now is the time to re-apply. It’s time to drop that rate.
