OAR 274-020-0445
Assumption of Loan by Eligible Veteran

When a veteran who is eligible to assume a loan under the provisions of ORS 407.305 (Assumption of previous loan by eligible veteran) seeks to acquire property and wishes to assume liability on the loan, the Director of Veterans’ Affairs will approve the assumption subject to the following conditions:

(1)

The applicant must submit the same evidence of eligibility and the same application as if an application were being submitted for a loan.

(2)

The provisions of ORS 407.225 (Processing of loan application)(3) do not apply except when additional funds are being requested. If additional funds are not being requested, the applicant may be permitted to assume a loan with a balance in excess of 97 percent of the appraised value on homes which are real property, 85 percent of the appraised value on homes which are not real property, and 90 percent of the appraised value on farms.

(3)

Notwithstanding the provisions of OAR 274-20-440, if additional funds are not being requested, an appraisal fee will not be collected by the director, and no appraisal of the property will be made. If additional funds are being requested, the provisions of ORS 407.225 (Processing of loan application)(3) and OAR 274-20-440 shall apply, and an appraisal of the property will be made.
