can i refi INTO a VA loan, adding my wife who is actually in the armed forces

Very simple. Your loan broker can add your wife to title at the same time the loan closes.

You guys can apply together on the refinance using her VA eligiblityRobert Garcia7025786170robert@otfwhwholesale.com

Yes indeed. And you should be looking at some great terms based on recent market movements.

You just simply need to refinance adding your wife to the deed

This is not a hard loan to do.. so long as she has VA eligibility, you can get a loan, and you both can be on the title.. the VA rates are about 1/2% lower than conventional, but VA charges a "Funding Fee" which can be significant depending on your loan amount, so it could be a wash.. the biggest benefit of a VA cash out refi is that they will go to 100% of your home's value, but If you don't need that much cash back or your loan to value will be below 80%, you might be better off with a conventional refi and save your VA benefits for a purchase later on down the road where you can do it with zero down..

Sure thing, not a big deal at all! You can potentially refinance up to 100% of the current value.if you want that much cash back.

PS, I would of course check to see if a VA loan is a better option or stay with a conventional if that works out better considering the VA funding fee

William is taking you down the right path. It will come down to the equity position and your credit scores on whether you should go VA or conventional due to the VA funding fee. Conventional pricing is much more sensitive to credit score than VA. Adding her would be no big deal either way.

Yes you can. All you have to do is both be on the loan together. VA is a nice option because you can go up to 100% with cash out, but keep in mind that all VA loans have a VA funding fee that is added on top of your loan balance. If your wife has a 10% or greater disability the funding fee is waived. Sounds like you have a lot of equity, if you don't need that much cash out and keep your loan to value below 80% or even better 75% you will still receive a pretty good rate with conventional. I would have your loan officer provide you with both options so you can see what one will be the best fit for you. Best wishes, Sean

Yes, that is acceptable as long as the Veteran has full entitlement available as you are not paying off a VA loan. The Veteran/spouse if active duty must certify as to intent to occupy if this applies...
