FHA Streamline
What exactly is an FHA Streamline Refinance?
An FHA Streamline is a refinance option for homeowners who already have an FHA-insured mortgage, designed to simplify the process compared to a typical refinance.
If you already have an FHA loan, an FHA Streamline Refinance lets you apply for a new FHA loan on that same property with a simplified process. It's not available to homeowners with conventional, VA, or USDA loans — only existing FHA borrowers. It generally doesn't require a new appraisal, and certain versions don't require the traditional income and employment documentation used in a standard refinance. It cannot be used to take cash out of your home's equity.
