American military veterans or their surviving spouses can qualify for a VA loan refinance even with less than perfect credit. VA streamline refinance rates are low, and low rate are not usually offered to people unless they have good credit. Since people with less than perfect credit are the ones that need the lower rates, a VA refinance mortgage loan makes perfect sense.

The first step is to find a VA approved lender who specializes in VA refinance mortgage loans. These lenders can see if you qualify and let you know what the current VA streamlined rates are. This way you can determine if this type of VA loan refinance is right for you. A VA refinance mortgage loan is a loan provided to refinance an existing VA mortgage loan at a lower interest rate or to switch from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate.

For those with less than perfect credit, the streamline loan is an available option as long as the current VA mortgage has been paid on time for one year. This type of VA loan refinance do not require a credit or income verification, although some lenders may require these items. Shop around for lenders to get the best possible terms, you are not required to use the original mortgage lender.
