Before approving any loan, RHS will impose requirements to secure its interests.

Adequate security. A loan will be considered adequately secured only when all of the following requirements are met:

RHS obtains at closing a mortgage on all ownership interests in the security property or the requirements of § 3550.58 are satisfied.

No liens prior to the RHS mortgage exist at the time of closing and no junior liens are likely to be taken immediately subsequent to or at the time of closing, unless the other liens are taken as part of a leveraging strategy or the RHS loan is essential for repairs and the senior lien secures an affordable non-RHS loan. Liens junior to the RHS lien may be allowed at loan closing if the junior lien will not interfere with the purpose or repayment of the RHS loan. When the junior lien involves a grant or a forgivable affordable housing product, the total debt may exceed the market value by the amount of the forgivable loan or grant up to 5 percent.

The provisions of 7 CFR part 1927, subpart B regarding title clearance and the use of legal services have been followed.

Existing and proposed property improvements are totally on the site and do not encroach on adjoining property.

Guaranteed payment. Mortgage insurance guaranteeing payment from a Government agency or Indian tribe is adequate security.
