Ask If You’re Eligible
You need to be an FHA homeowner to qualify for FHA streamline refinancing. You also need to receive a substantial benefit from refinancing, typically by lowering your interest rate and monthly payment.
Apply for a Refi
There’s no appraisal, income verification, or credit check when you apply for an FHA streamline refinance. That makes the process of refinancing your mortgage and lowering your payment faster and easier.
Get Approved Faster
You must meet the loan requirements and our financial standards to get approved for streamline refinancing. At Freedom Mortgage, we can often help FHA homeowners complete their mortgage refinances in less than 30 days.
Lower Your Payment
Once you are approved, you’ll need to close your new FHA loan to get your new rate. You’ll need to pay mortgage insurance premiums and other closing costs. You may be able to add these costs to your loan amount so you don’t have to pay them in cash.

You can get an FHA streamline refinance as many times as it makes financial sense for you.
