Home Equity-to-Home Equity Refinancings

Fair Market Value.  The refinance of the extension of credit must be of a principal amount that when added to the aggregate total of the outstanding principal balances of all other indebtedness secured by valid encumbrances of record against the homestead does not exceed 80% of the homestead’s FMV on the date the refinance of the extension of credit is made.

Amount.  The principal amount of the refinance is the sum of the amount advanced and any charges at the inception of the refinance, to the extent these charges are financed in the principal amount of the refinance.
