A Faster, Easier Way to Refinance Your FHA Loan

Lower Rates, Less Paperwork, and No Appraisal Required

If you already have an FHA-insured mortgage, refinancing doesn’t have to mean piles of paperwork, strict credit checks, or high closing costs. An FHA Streamline Refinance offers a simplified path to a new mortgage with fewer requirements, no appraisal, and potentially lower interest rates. It’s designed to make refinancing faster and easier — especially for homeowners whose property values have dropped or whose financial situation has changed.

Designed for FHA Loan Holders

How an FHA Streamline Refinance Works

An FHA Streamline Refinance replaces your current FHA-insured mortgage with a new one, but with less underwriting and relaxed credit requirements. Since your existing loan is already backed by the FHA, lenders can skip certain steps — such as a home appraisal — and rely on your original approval. To qualify, you must already have an FHA loan, be current on your payments, and show a “net tangible benefit,” such as lowering your interest rate or switching from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed rate. The process is quicker, less stressful, and focused on keeping you in your home with more manageable payments.

Benefits of FHA Streamline Refinance

Why Homeowners Choose This Option

No Credit Check

Your previous FHA approval may carry over, making refinancing possible even if your score has dropped.

No Income or Employment Verification

Changes in your job or income won’t stop you from qualifying.

No Appraisal Required

Home value declines won’t affect your eligibility.

Lower Interest Rates

Take advantage if today’s rates are better than when you bought your home.

Low or No Closing Costs

Some lenders offer “no cost” options in exchange for a slightly higher rate.

Important Considerations Before Applying

Limitations and Eligibility Requirements

Must already have an FHA mortgage.
Must be current on all mortgage payments.
Must show a net tangible benefit, such as reduced monthly payments or a shorter term without raising your interest rate.
No cash-out option (maximum $500 allowed at closing).
Your current FHA loan must be at least 210 days old before refinancing.

Key Factors to Consider Before Moving Forward

Is an FHA Streamline Refinance the Right Choice?

Deciding whether to refinance your FHA mortgage is a personal financial decision. In most cases, there are two key questions to consider:

Will you secure a lower interest rate?
Will you shorten the length of your mortgage term without increasing your rate?

The FHA considers the refinance worthwhile — known as passing the net tangible benefit test — if:

You shorten your mortgage term
Your new interest rate does not exceed your current rate
Your total monthly payment (principal + interest + MIP) does not increase by more than $50

Keep in mind that refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan. While it can reduce your monthly payment, if you keep the same loan term, you may end up paying more in total interest over the life of the loan.
