Assumptions to Verify

Savings estimates depend on current payoff, new rate, term, funding fee, and financed costs.
IRRRL and cash-out refinances follow different VA and lender requirements.
A lower monthly payment may still increase lifetime interest if the loan term is extended.

Recommended Next Steps

1. Gather your current mortgage statement and payoff amount.
2. Decide whether the main goal is lower payment, shorter term, cash-out, or payment stability.
3. Request a written comparison before committing to refinance costs.
