VA Streamline + GAP Benefit.
The VA IRRRL is the most efficient refinance in American mortgage lending. Pair it with our private GAP Benefit and recover up to 1.5% of your loan amount at the closing table.
Why the IRRRL is different.
The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) is a VA-backed program that strips the friction out of refinancing. No surprises, no re-qualifying drama in most cases — just a faster path to a lower payment.
No new appraisal (in most cases)
The IRRRL relies on your existing VA loan — no new appraisal needed in most scenarios.
No income re-verification (in most cases)
Streamlined documentation. We can often close without re-pulling W-2s and tax returns.
~21 day average close
Most files we underwrite move from application to close in three weeks.
Up to 1.5% back via the GAP Benefit
When you streamline with us, you stack our private GAP Benefit on top — credit back at closing.
Do you qualify?
The IRRRL has narrow, well-defined eligibility. Most veterans with an existing VA loan in good standing will qualify.
- You have an existing VA loan
- You are current on payments (no 30-day late in last 6 months)
- The refinance produces a meaningful benefit (lower rate, lower payment, or removal of ARM risk)
- You meet our lender’s credit and occupancy guidelines
The Buywiser Difference
Many lenders quote you an IRRRL rate. We quote the IRRRL plus the GAP Benefit credit applied at closing, and we model the break-even so you know — to the month — when the refinance pays for itself.
