HUD provides mortgage insurance for
the refinancing of an existing HECM, and establishes several
requirements concerning such refinancing. Regulatory provision
requires that the mortgagee provide the mortgagor, a good faith
estimate of the total cost of the refinancing and the increase in
the mortgagor's principal limit as measured by the estimated
initial principal limit on the mortgaged to be insured less the
current principal limit on the HECM that is being
refinanced.
