What is a VA IRRRL?

The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan is the VA's streamlined refinancing option designed exclusively for veterans to reduce their monthly mortgage payment with minimal hassle

Streamlined Process

Less paperwork, no income verification, no employment verification, no credit check (in many cases). Designed to be fast and simple for Nevada veterans already using a VA loan.

No Appraisal Needed

In most cases, no new property appraisal is required. This saves time and money compared to traditional refinances and speeds up approval for your Nevada home.

IRRRL Step-by-Step Process

The VA IRRRL refinance process is streamlined for speed and simplicity. Here's exactly what to expect when refinancing your Nevada VA loan

1

Check Current Rates

Compare current VA IRRRL rates to your existing rate. If rates have dropped 0.5% or more since your original loan, an IRRRL could save you significant money. Contact us or use our rate checker to see today's rates for Nevada veterans.

2

Submit Simple Application

Complete a short IRRRL application. You'll need:

  • Current VA loan information (loan number, lender)
  • Property address in Nevada
  • Occupancy certification (you previously lived there)
  • Basic contact information
3

Quick Underwriting Review

Our underwriters verify your on-time payment history (typically last 6-12 months) and confirm eligibility. No need for income verification, employment verification, or extensive documentation. Most IRRRL applications are approved within 24-48 hours.

4

Get Your Rate

Once approved, secure your new lower rate. Rate locks typically last 30-45 days, giving you time to close without worrying about rate fluctuations. We'll provide a Loan Estimate showing your new rate, monthly payment, and closing costs.

5

Schedule Closing

Choose a convenient closing date at a title company in Nevada (or mobile signing if available). Closing takes about 30-60 minutes. Sign the documents, and your new lower rate is official. Your first payment on the new loan is typically due 30-45 days after closing.

6

Start Saving Money

Enjoy your lower monthly payment! Your old VA loan is paid off by the new IRRRL, and you'll start making payments at your new reduced rate. Track your savings month after month and put the extra money toward other financial goals.
