Can I refinance from conventional to VA?
Yes — through a VA cash-out refinance, even with no cash actually taken out. This is how veterans move out of a conventional loan with PMI into VA's no-MI structure. Full documentation and a new appraisal apply.
Plain-English explanation
Conventional-to-VA happens via the VA cash-out program, used in 'no-cash' mode (rate-and-term refi from a non-VA loan). The funding fee applies (subsequent use rate for veterans who used VA before, first-use rate for new VA users). When PMI is meaningful and credit allows it, this refi often saves real monthly money. Subject to VA guidelines.
What can change the answer?
VA seasoning rules, net-tangible-benefit recoupment, current loan type, equity, credit, rate environment, and IRRRL vs cash-out eligibility can change the answer.

VA guidelines are the rule. Your COE, entitlement, residual income, property, and Florida costs are what decide the actual answer.
