OAR 274-045-0441
Terms and Requirements of Veterans’ Home Improvement Loans

(1)

The veterans’ home improvement loan must be placed in the first lien position on the security or be an immediate subsequent lien to an existing ODVA lien. The first ODVA lien and any immediate subsequent lien made on the security by the Director shall be deemed collectively as a first lien on the security.

(2)

The net appraised value will be used as the basis for determining the maximum veterans’ home improvement loan subject to statutory limitations and remaining loan right.

(3)

When a veterans’ home improvement loan is made on a security with an existing balance owed to the Director, the total of the unpaid balance of the existing loan and the veterans’ home improvement loan shall not exceed 80 percent of the net appraised value as determined by the Director.

(4)

When a veteran’ home improvement loan is made on a property where no balance is owing, the veterans’ home improvement loan shall not exceed 97 percent of the net appraised value as determined by the Director. If the loan-to-value ratio is greater than 80 percent of the net appraised value, the loan must be insured by mortgage insurance consistent with ORS 407.485 (Agreements for mortgage insurance).

(5)

The borrower shall not receive any cash back from the home improvement loan.

(6)

All existing nonamortizing ODVA loans on the security must be reamortized to bring the principal and interest payment and final payment date into conformance with ODVA policy as identified in the Processing Manual. A copy of the manual is on file with the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs, 700 Summer Street NE, Salem Oregon, and available to the public during normal business hours. All other terms of the existing loan on the security remain unchanged.

(7)

Depending upon the loan amount, the maximum term of a home improvement loan may not exceed 20 years.
