(a) In connection with a mortgage loan on the security of real property designed and used primarily for residential purposes only, which mortgage loan was acquired pursuant to W.S. 26-7-107(a)(xii), an insurer may lend or invest an amount, not exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the amount loaned on or invested in the real property mortgage, on the security of chattels, to be amortized by regular payments within a term of not more than five (5) years, and representing a first and prior lien, except for taxes not then delinquent, on personal property constituting durable equipment and owned by the mortgagor and kept and used in the mortgaged premises.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "durable equipment" includes only mechanical refrigerators, air conditioning equipment, mechanical laundering machines, heating and cooking stoves and ranges, and in the case of apartment houses, motels and hotels, room furniture and furnishings also.
(c) Prior to the acquisition of a chattel mortgage under this section, items of property to be included therein shall be separately appraised by a qualified appraiser and the fair market value thereof determined. No chattel loan shall exceed in amount the same ratio of loan to the value of the property as is applicable to the companion loan on the real property.
(d) This section does not prohibit an insurer from taking liens on personal property as additional security for any investment otherwise eligible under this chapter.
