Hi Clauda, a word of advice, while the VA has guidelines for their loan programs, many lender will have internal guidelines they overlay on top of the VA. So while one lender "may" loan strickly according to the VA guidelines, many other will have differing critera.
So it may pay to shop around. what you will find is the lenders who go strickly with VA and have no othe roverlays will be higher in fees or interest rate.

Claudia, there are 2 types. The IRRRL is for refinancing an existing VA 1st mortgage, you can owe more than the value of the home. The other type is considered a cash out. The cash out refi will allow you to combine a 1st and 2nd ( and a 3rd ) or paying off a 1st mortgage and getting cash out with most lenders capping that at 90% or 95% with a new appraisal. Also available is the IRRRL / EEM which is adding up to 6K to your loan balance for energy improvements.

where to find info. on VA refinancing?
