What Is a VA Rate & Term Refinance?
A VA Rate & Term Refinance allows eligible homeowners to replace their current mortgage with a new VA loan that offers improved interest rates, repayment terms, or both. Unlike a VA Cash-Out Refinance, this program is designed to improve your existing mortgage without accessing your home’s equity for cash.
Many homeowners refinance to obtain a lower interest rate, reduce their monthly payment, shorten the length of their mortgage, or switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to the stability of a fixed-rate loan. Refinancing may also help you better manage your long-term housing expenses while continuing to enjoy the benefits of VA financing.
Whether you’re refinancing an existing VA loan or exploring your available refinancing options, Jay Kiel provides experienced guidance throughout every stage of the process. Serving homeowners in Portland, South Portland, Brunswick, Bath, Augusta, Bangor, Lewiston, Auburn, and throughout Maine, Jay helps veterans make informed refinancing decisions.
