Should I do the streamline refinance on my VA loan?

By
I have a brand new home priced at around 115K with a loan at 6.25% for 30 years. I have been making payments for about 12 months already, and thinking about refinancing to get a lower interest rate and lower my monthly payments. Closing costs for CitiMortgage is roughly 2k, and USAA is 3k. CitiMortgage has offered me a 5% interest rate at o.25 points, and USAA offer was 4.75%.

If I do this streamline refinance would I be in good shape to sell within the next 4-5 years or should I just rent it out in case I have to relocate?
