			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The VA Streamline program is specifically for homeowners who already have a VA loan and would like to refinance to take advantage of lower interest rates. It is considered a streamline because it allows you to refinance quickly, without an appraisal, and requires minimal paperwork on behalf of the lender. Both save you time and money upfront.</p>
<p>Also known as an Interest Rate Reduction Loan (IRRL), a VA Streamline Refinance MUST lower your interest rate or it&#8217;s not performed.</p>
<p>In other words, there&#8217;s no risk involved.</p>
<h2>VA Streamline &#8211; The Best Refinance Available?</h2>
<p>The VA Streamline Refinance is widely considered to be the best refinance available. No other refinance loan program is as simple and easy to qualify for as a VA streamline refinance.</p>
<p>A VA Streamline Refinance:</p>
<ul>
<li>does not require an appraisal</li>
<li>cuts down significantly on paperwork</li>
<li>requires no income verification</li>
<li>has no qualifying debt ratios</li>
<li>has only a limited credit check</li>
<li>guarantees a LOWER interest rate</li>
</ul>
<p>In short, in today&#8217;s economy it&#8217;s hard to imagine a better loan program!</p>
<h2>VA Streamline Eligibility Requirements</h2>
<p>If you currently have a VA mortgage, have a credit score of at least 600, and interest rates today are lower than when you obtained your loan&#8230; it&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;re eligible for the VA Streamline refinance.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thevaloanagency.com/application/">Answer a few simple questions</a> and we&#8217;ll help you qualify and show you how much you can save. It&#8217;s fast, free, and there&#8217;s no quicker way to start saving!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Do you have a conventional loan, but wish to take advantage of the benefits of the veteran&#8217;s program by refinancing to a VA loan?  If you meet the VA eligibility requirements, you&#8217;re wise to consider such a plan.</p>
<p>Here are two options available to you.</p>
<p><strong>Cash Out Refinance</strong><br />A cash out VA refinance allows you to refinance your mortgage and gain access to the equity in your home. Use that equity for debt consolidation, to make home improvements, or however else you wish.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: underline">How does it work?</p>
<p>By taking out a VA loan for more than you currently owe, you pay off your current mortgage and gain access to the equity you have built. If you purchased the residence more than one year prior to the refinance, you can refinance up to 100% of the appraisal value with the new VA loan.</p>
<ul>
<li>You can avoid out of pocket closing costs</li>
<li>There is no mortgage insurance with a VA refinance</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.thevaloanagency.com/application/">I am interested in the Cash Out VA Refinance</a></p>
<p><strong>NO Cash Out Refinance</strong><br />The benefit of a VA Refinance with no cash out is that it allows you to refinance into a lower, fixed rate VA loan with lower monthly payments than a conventional loan, and the added benefit of no monthly mortgage insurance. With this type of VA refinance, you can refinance up to 100% of the appraisal value, and avoid out of pocket closing costs.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thevaloanagency.com/application/">I am interested in the NO Cash Out VA Refinance</a></p>
<h2>Benefits of a Refinancing into a VA Loan</h2>
<p>There are many great reasons to consider refinancing into a VA home loan versus a conventional loan.</p>
<p>Firstly, credit score itself does not generally dictate acceptance. Rather, a borrower who demonstrates a willingness to repay credit obligations and has been making satisfactory credit payments for twelve months since their last period of financial difficulty is generally considered a good candidate for a VA refinance.</p>
<p>Additional VA Refinance benefits include:</p>
<ul>
<li>NO down payment</li>
<li>NO monthly mortgage insurance</li>
<li>NO prepayment penalty</li>
<li>Fixed interest rate &#8211; payments will not increase</li>
<li>We can negotiate with a seller to pay most or all closing costs</li>
<li>Great rates, easier qualification</li>
</ul>
<h2>Get Started Now!</h2>
<p>If you are a US veteran or active duty military personnel looking to refinance, let us help you get the best rate possible. Our VA refinance experts have extensive experience and streamline the process to make it faster, easier, and hassle free. <a href="http://www.thevaloanagency.com/application/">Apply Today!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The VA home loan program offers Veterans significant benefits when purchasing a home. The government guarantees 25% of the loan amount allowing you to finance up to 100% of the value of your home.</p>
<p>VA purchase loans also require NO monthly mortgage insurance saving you even more money every month.</p>
<p>Additionally, there is no credit score limit. Rather, VA purchase loans are evaluated on a case by case basis focusing on overall past payment behavior. This allows many who suffer from a low credit score (or lacking credit history) to qualify.</p>
<h2>What Else Can I do with a VA Loan?</h2>
<p>VA loans aren&#8217;t just for purchasing your dream home. They&#8217;re also a great option for paying off debts on your current home, making home improvements and upgrades, or simply reducing monthly rates and payments compared to a conventional loan.
<p>Despite the significant benefits of the VA Loan program, many of the 27 million eligible Americans don&#8217;t take advantage of it. If you&#8217;re eligible, take the time to find out what a VA loan can do for you.
<p><a href="http://www.thevaloanagency.com/application/">Answer a few simple questions</a>, and we&#8217;ll show you how affordable home ownership can be!
<p>It&#8217;s a fast, easy, free, and there&#8217;s no obligation whatsoever&#8230;<br />
