VA Cash-Out Refinance

The VA's Cash-Out Refinance Loan is available for active duty military personnel, a qualified veteran, or a spouse of either. It is specifically for veterans who seek to take cash out of their home equity to consolidate alternative expenses. These expenses can range from paying off high-interest debt to making home improvements. 

VA Home Loan and Refinance Advantages

The VA guarantee allows lenders to provide you with more favorable terms, including:

        
  • No private mortgage insurance premium requirement
  • VA rules limit the amount you can be charged for closing costs
  • We won't charge you a penalty fee if you pay the loan off early
  • VA may be able to provide you some assistance if you run into difficulty making payments

You should also know that:

        
  • You can reuse the benefit
  • VA-backed loans are assumable, as long as the person assuming the loan qualifies

VA Cash-Out Eligibility

You must meet three factors to be eligible:

        
  1. Suitable credit (620 minimum)
  2. Sufficient income.
  3. Valid Certificate of Eligibility.
To obtain a COE, you must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable and meet the service requirements 


The funding fee is a percentage of the loan amount which varies based on the type of loan and your military category, if you are a first-time or subsequent loan user, and whether you make a down payment. 

You do not have to pay a fee if you are:

        
  • Receiving VA compensation for a service-connected disability
  • Entitled to receiving compensation for a disability if you did not receive retirement or active duty pay
  • A surviving spouse of a Veteran who died in service or a service-connected disability
