FHA Streamlines
FHA Streamline is the simplest and easiest way to refinance an FHA loan. Unlike a traditional refinance an FHA Streamline Refinance allows a borrower to refinance without having to verify their income and assets. An appraisal might not be required either depending on how much you have paid on your original loan balance.
