The FHA Streamline program reduces certain documentation and underwriting requirements for eligible existing FHA loans. Both credit-qualifying and non-credit-qualifying options exist. The loan must be current and the refinance must provide a qualifying net tangible benefit. It is not intended for accessing substantial cash from home equity.
Streamlined does not mean cost-free. FHA does not permit ordinary closing costs to be added to the new streamline mortgage amount. A lender-credit option may involve a higher interest rate. Ask for a full breakdown rather than assuming costs disappear. HUD FHA Streamline Refinance guidance.
