FHA Refinance

FHA STREAMLINE LOANS - Fast and Easy

The FHA Streamline Refinance is a special mortgage product, reserved for homeowners with existing FHA mortgages. It is sometimes also called an FHA-to-FHA refinance. FHA Streamline Refinances are the fastest, simplest way for FHA-insured homeowners to refinance their mortgages. You can even use an FHA Streamline if the property is no longer your primary residence. By making it easy for FHA borrowers to get better mortgages, the agency reduces the chance of default (good for them) while helping homeowners get better loans (good for you). No tax returns or income calculation needed!
