When using a home equity loan, this can be done in several ways, such as a second mortgage or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) which can be obtained through a separate lender and for a shorter period of time. However, there is a small cash back element as borrowers can get back as much as $500 at closing. One reason the refi market is stronger than the purchase market is that refinancing is often easier. HARP 2.0 guidelines require that borrowers do not have any late mortgage payments during the six 2.3 fha refinance months prior to application and not more than one late during the most recent twelve months.

The FHA Streamline refinance program is a case in point. Those new insurance premiums took effect in April and June of this year.

Restrictions for HARP left too many homeowners unable to refinance due to declining home values. Although figures are unavailable showing the percentage of FHA Streamline loans among all other refinance products, market observers say FHA customers represent a large and growing part of the refinance surge.
