a bigger-picture check.

Is this your next step?
For your existing VA loan.
Not a new home purchase.

A few good questions
The details,
when you need them.
Clear answers. No pressure to choose.
What is a VA IRRRL?
A VA IRRRL, also called a VA Streamline Refinance, is a refinance option for borrowers who already have a VA-backed home loan and want to review whether they may be able to lower their rate, lower their payment, or move from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate.
Do I need to already have a VA loan?
Yes. VA IRRRL is only for borrowers who currently have a VA-backed home loan.
Do I need an appraisal?
An appraisal is typically not required for a VA IRRRL, but final requirements depend on borrower eligibility, lender guidelines, and the specific loan scenario.
Can I get cash out with a VA IRRRL?
No. VA IRRRL is not a cash-out refinance. If you want to access cash from home equity, Equity Edge Lending can review other options.
Can closing costs be rolled into the new loan?
In many cases, certain costs may be rolled into the new loan, subject to eligibility, loan structure, and lender guidelines.
Do I need to currently live in the home?
VA IRRRL generally requires that you certify you previously occupied the property. Final eligibility depends on VA and lender guidelines.
How do you determine if it makes sense?
We review your current rate, payment, loan balance, payment history, seasoning, closing costs, and whether the refinance creates a meaningful borrower benefit.
Is Equity Edge Lending affiliated with the VA?
No. Equity Edge Lending is not the Department of Veterans Affairs, a government agency, your current lender, or your loan servicer.
Will checking my options affect my credit?
The initial online review is designed to collect basic loan information first. Any credit review or formal application step should be clearly disclosed before moving forward.
Which states do you lend in?
State and product availability must be confirmed for the property and borrower before a formal application. Equity Edge Lending's company NMLS and California DRE licenses are publicly verifiable; other state authorizations and lender availability vary, and not every product is available in every state.
