Refinancing is a good idea only when the current interest rates are quite low. VA loans allow veterans to own homes without paying huge out of pocket costs, but the veterans are never excused from interest. Refinancing can help you lower your rates, but it is not an option that would prove favorable for every veteran on a VA loan.

It helps if you ask the following questions first:

1. How much will you save?

Calculate how much you will save based on the rate difference. For example, if you make calculations and realized that you will save $100,000 on a refinancing loan, then you’d have a better position of evaluating whether the $100,000 savings is enough to convince you.

2. How much longer is your loan period?

Timing is also everything. If your loan is not much longer or you’re thinking of selling the home within the next few years, refinancing may not be a good idea as it might cost you losses instead of savings.

3. Can you shorten your loan period?

You should also consider refinancing not just as a way to decrease interest rates but also as a way to shorten the period of your loan. For example, if you have a 15-year mortgage, do not refinance it into a 20-year mortgage. It would be better to refinance it to a 10-year mortgage. The shorter loan period and a lower interest rate combined together will make a more beneficial change to your loan situation.
