## What it is

VA IRRRL is a concept in the Government & Agency Mortgage Programs family, defined here by the function it performs in the property system rather than by label alone.

## What it actually does

VA IRRRL uses public insurance, guarantee, or standards to reshape access and risk.

## Why it exists

It exists because place is unique and immovable while law, capital, information, and human lives must still coordinate around it across time.

## System mechanics

- **Who uses it:** owner, occupant, buyer, seller, lender, investor, steward, regulator
- **Incentives:** access, certainty, control, value, continuity
- **Inputs:** place, people, records, rules, resources, time
- **Outputs:** rights, constraints, uses, relationships, consequences
- **Dependencies:** Land, Authority, Information, Capital, Time

## Archetypal reading

- **Gift:** Clarity about va irrrl makes a hidden allocation of place, time, authority, value, or risk available for deliberate choice.

- **Failure mode:** The failure mode appears when va irrrl is stale, opaque, mispriced, misrecorded, overextended, or applied outside the conditions that made it useful.

- **Financial:** VA IRRRL changes the timing, priority, comparability, liquidity, or distribution of cash flow and risk.
