FHA Refinance Loans in Arizona

 Lower your payment or pull cash from your home equity with an FHA refinance through a direct lender who's been closing Arizona loans since 2000.

Two Ways to Refinance an FHA Loan

FHA Streamline Refinance: for homeowners who already have an FHA loan and want a lower rate or payment. In most cases it skips the home appraisal and needs less paperwork than a standard refinance. HUD requires your combined rate and mortgage insurance to drop by at least 0.5% compared to your current loan, plus on-time payments for at least 6 months.


FHA Cash-Out Refinance: for homeowners who want to turn equity into cash for debt payoff, repairs, or anything else. Works even if your current loan isn't FHA. Up to 80% of your home's value. 

What You'll Need to Qualify

 

  • Credit score: most lenders look for 580 or higher; a lower score may still qualify with a stronger equity position per HUD guidelines
  • Payment history: streamline refinance requires at least 6 months and 6 payments on your current FHA loan
  • Mortgage insurance: upfront premium of 1.75%, annual premium between 0.15% and 0.75% of the loan depending on term and balance
  • Debt to income: HUD's standard cutoff is 43%, though strong credit or cash reserves can support more

2026 FHA Loan Limit, Pima County

 

$541,287 for a single-family home in 2026, per HUD. Refinancing a higher balance? Ask about jumbo or conventional options instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at  dplattner@altitudehomeloans.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

In most cases no. HUD lets lenders use the original purchase value instead, which keeps costs and timelines down. 


Upfront premium of 1.75% of the loan, plus an annual premium between 0.15% and 0.75%, depending on term, amount, and equity position. 


Yes. Danny originates through Altitude Home Loans (NMLS 1955555), a direct lender with in-house underwriting. Loan decisions are made internally rather than handed to an outside investor, which keeps the process under one roof. 


HUD doesn't set a fixed minimum for a streamline refinance. Requirements vary by lender; Altitude reviews each file individually. 


Streamline refinances are designed for a simplified process, less paperwork, and often no appraisal required, which can reduce the time to close.
