Better Mortgage offers FHA Streamline Refinancing with no income verification or appraisal requirements for faster processing

Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ: BETR) (“Better.com”), the leading digital homeownership company, today announced the launch of its FHA Streamline Refinance program. This fully digital refinance option is designed to streamline the process for qualified borrowers with an existing Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan interested in lowering their monthly mortgage payment, reducing their interest rate, shortening their loan term, or getting out of an adjustable-rate mortgage.

FHA loans, backed by the Federal Housing Administration, are specifically designed to assist borrowers who may not qualify for conventional loans due to lower credit scores, limited credit history, or higher debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios. With potential interest rate reductions on the horizon, the FHA Streamline program empowers FHA borrowers to refinance their mortgage and take advantage of more favorable interest rate terms with ease by reducing underwriting requirements for income verifications and appraisals.

“As we look ahead with optimism to a more favorable interest rate environment, we are enabling hardworking homeowners – each with their own unique path to upward financial mobility – to capitalize on advantageous loan terms with greater ease and convenience,” said Vishal Garg, CEO & Founder of Better.com. “With this launch, we are reducing the traditional barriers that exist for FHA borrowers and delivering flexible financing solutions at a timely moment for consumers across the country.”

With several fully digital mortgage products announced in 2024 including Better Mortgage’s One Day HELOC ™, Home Equity Loans, and VA Loans, today’s launch strengthens the company’s growing suite of homeownership solutions and its continued commitment to building consumer-oriented products across market cycles. To apply, please visit Better.com.

*Eligibility for the FHA Streamline Refinance program requires that the existing FHA loan is current, and insured, and the property is a primary residence that is not listed for sale. All qualifications will adhere to HUD’s guidelines.
