Hawaii VA Loan For Refinancing Your Home
Refinance your home in Hawaii with one of several VA loan programs. If approved, eligible veteran homeowners have access to the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan. The IRRRL gives qualified homeowners the chance to reduce the interest rate on their mortgage. Additional programs such as the rate/term and VA cash-out options allow homeowners to borrow cash using their home’s equity or obtain improved terms on their loan.
Understanding Hawaii VA Loan Interest Rates
Hawaii mortgage interest rates depend on a wide variety of different factors, such as fluctuation, credit scores, location, down payment, and the cost of the home. For qualified veteran homebuyers, you have access to competitive interest rates that are generally below the national average. As a result of lower rates, eligible homebuyers utilizing the VA home loan program, benefit from having increased purchasing power.
VA Loan Limit For Eligible Veterans In Hawaii
The Department of Veterans Affairs sets the loan limits for Hawaii. A Hawaii VA Loan Limit is the maximum amount that a qualified veteran is allowed to borrow without being required to place a down payment on a home in Hawaii. These limits can vary depending on what island and county the property is located on.

“Eli was phenomenal and made the process of refinancing our home seamless. He was very friendly and kind and made us feel like a priority. We very highly recommend him!”
A. M.
“Great throughout the entire process. Eli was extremely knowledgeable, communicated clearly, was laid back and wasn’t the typical high pressure sales guy. Loved the fact he is a veteran and really focuses on making sure other veterans and active duty folks are taken care of.”
