They can be used to switch between fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages, lower rates and payments and also require no appraisal, no money out of pocket and no credit to be pulled (unless requested by an individual lender). However, one great advantage of VA streamlined refinancing is being able to add up to $6,000 worth of financing for energy efficient home improvements into the new loan.
