He streamline refi'd into 'em.

The VA has a refi program that kicks in 6 months after original loan "seasons" Like clockwork, we started to receive a slew of unsolicited offers from 3rd parties offering us an opportunity to refinance the VA loan through a VA "Streamline" program which requires way less time and or documentation that is typically involved with an original VA loan.We elected to work with one of the parties to do the Streamline loan which offered a very substantial reduction in our monthly payment (~15%).
