Summary

The Commission may accept promissory notes secured by first mortgages as part of the purchase price to help sell residential or commercial property under subchapter IV when reasonable financing is not available elsewhere. For houses and apartment buildings, the loan length, loan-to-value limits, and interest rate must not exceed the limits in section 1715n(a) of title 12; the interest rate equals the rate plus any premium and any HUD-authorized periodic service charge in that section at the notes’ effective date. The Commission can also advance money for needed repairs, rehabilitation, rebuilding, modernization, or enlargement of single and duplex homes to priority purchasers and add those advances to the mortgage note. The Commission may sell the notes and mortgages it acquires and may hire servicers to manage them. It may sell or agree to sell notes and mortgages to those servicers. It generally may act without regard to section 6101 of title 41, but must follow section 6101 for sales to servicers unless it determines compliance is not feasible.
