§ 52518 Loan Assumption Eligibility Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If you buy a house with a special loan from the agency, you can't just pass that loan to anyone else.
  • •The new buyer must meet the same rules you did to get the loan, like how much the house costs.
  • •If the new buyer doesn’t meet the rules, the whole loan becomes due right away when the house is sold.
  • •The agency checks the house price rules at the time the new buyer tries to take over the loan.

Example

You bought a house with a special low-cost loan from the agency. Now you want to sell it to your friend.

If your friend doesn’t meet the agency’s rules (like the house price is too high now), the agency can make you pay back the whole loan immediately when you sell.

§ 52518 Loan Assumption Eligibility Rules

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 711 of the Civil Code, the agency shall not permit the assumption of the obligation under any note or mortgage securing the interest of the agency pursuant to Section 52514, by a subsequent ineligible purchaser or transferee of the prior borrower. If the subsequent purchaser or transferee does not meet the eligibility requirements of this part, the agency shall require acceleration of repayment of the principal balance of the loan to be all due and payable upon the sale or transfer of the property. For purposes of determining eligibility, the limits on acquisition price, as specified in Section 52515, shall be determined at the time of the proposed assumption. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 320, Sec. 12. Effective June 29, 1982.)
