Already have a VA loan? The IRRRL is your fast lane
The VA's Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) lets you drop your rate with usually no appraisal, limited paperwork, and a reduced 0.5% funding fee. You'll need 210 days and six payments on your current loan, and your costs must recoup through savings within 36 months — a built-in protection that keeps the refinance honest.
Divorce and your VA entitlement
If your ex keeps the home and the VA loan, your entitlement stays tied to that property until it's refinanced or paid off — which can block your next $0-down purchase. Texas's owelty of partition lien, written into the decree, helps the spouse keeping the home refinance the equity buyout. Sort the mortgage before the decree is final.
Buying above the conforming limit
With full entitlement, the VA imposes no loan limit on a $0-down purchase — qualification, not a cap, sets your ceiling. The VLB program tops out at $832,750, so veterans shopping above that figure typically lean on the federal VA side, where higher amounts remain possible with no down payment.
