This is true even when the the refinance is rolling in a first and second mortgage (unlike HARP and FHA loans) – There is no monthly mortgage insurance fee associated with VA loans (unlike FHA loans) – Rates on VA loans tend to be quite low – Overall lender fees on VA loans tend to be lower than other loans
