The Benefits of the Streamline Program 

The FHA Streamline program is ideal for properties that are owner-occupied, and it gives you the ability to reduce your interest or even lower your monthly mortgage payments without enduring the time, expense and hassle associated with ordering an appraisal. There is also less paperwork and documentation associated with this loan program in comparison with many other types of refinance loans. Because there is not an appraisal requirement, you will not have to pay extra fees or wait for third-party reports to be completed. Altogether, you may find that the Streamline program is a simpler and easier way to refinance your loan.

Important Facts About the Streamline Program 

The Streamline program is ideal for many homeowners, but it is not the right solution for all borrowers. For example, this program does not allow you to take cash out of your home, so if you need to tap into your home equity, you will need to apply for another program. The rates for this program are highly competitive, and most people who apply for this program do so to reduce their monthly payment through rate and term refinancing, lowering their interest rate or a combination of both. Typical refinance terms apply, regarding loan-to-value limits, credit score requirements and more, and you can learn more about these when you contact MortgageDepot for information.
