Frequently asked questions
Why are FHA Streamline Refinances Considered “Fast” Refinances?

What is the Difference Between a Credit Qualifying and a Non-Credit Qualifying FHA Streamline Refinance?
- Credit Qualifying refinances will require lenders to take a more in-depth look at a borrower’s credit when doing a credit check to qualify them.
- Non-Credit Qualifying refinances still run credit checks, but do not need to do as thorough of a review of your credit.
