lishing the rate of interest that shall be applicable to such loans, the Administrator shall consult with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development regarding the rate of interest the Secretary considers necessary to meet the mortgage market for home loans insured under section 203(b) of the National Housing Act, and, to the maximum extent practicable, carry out a coordinated policy on interest rates on loans insured under such section 203(b) and on loans guaranteed or insured under this chapter.

1971-Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 92-66 substituted provisions authorizing the Administrator to sell loans at a price which he determines to be reasonable under prevailing conditions in the mortgage market when the agreement to sell the loan is made, for provisions authorizing the Administrator to sell loans at a price which he determines to be reasonable but not less than 98 per centum of the unpaid principal balance, plus the full amount of the accrued interest, and if the loans are offered to an Investor in a package or block of two or more loans at not less than 98 per centum of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans included in such package or block, plus the full amount of accrued interest.

§ 1817. Release from liability under guaranty.

(a) Whenever any veteran disposes of residential property securing a guaranteed, insured, or direct loan obtained by him, the Administrator, upon application made by such veteran and by the transferee incident to such disposal, shall issue to such veteran in connection with such disposal a release relieving him of all further liability to the Administrator on account of such loan (including liability for any loss resulting from any default of the transferee or any subsequent purchaser of such property)

if the Administrator has determined, after such investigation as he may deem appropriate, that (1) the loan is current, and (2) the purchaser of such property from such veteran (A) has obligated himself by contract to purchase such property and to assume full liability for the repayment of the balance of the loan remaining unpaid, and has assumed by contract all of the obligations of the veteran under the terms of the instruments creating and securing the loan, and (B) qualifies from a credit standpoint, to the same extent as if he were a veteran eligible under section 1810 of this title, for a guaranteed or insured or direct loan in an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the obligation for which he has assumed liability.

(b) If any veteran disposes of residential property securing a guaranteed, insured, or direct loan obtained by him under this chapter without receiving a release from liability with respect to such loan under subsection (a), and a default subsequently occurs which results in liability of the veteran to the Administrator on account of the loan, the Administrator may relieve the veteran of such liability if he determines, after such investigation as he deems appropriate, that the property was disposed of by the veteran in such a manner, and subject to such conditions, that the Administrator would have issued the veteran a release from liability under subsection (a) with respect to the loan if the veteran had made application therefor incident to such disposal. Failure of a transferee to assume by contract all of the liabilities of the original veteran-borrower shall bar such release of liability only in cases in which no acceptable transferee, either immediate or remote, is legally liable to the Administrator for the indebtedness of the original veteran-borrower arising from termination of the loan. The failure of a veteran to qualify for release from liability under this subsection does not preclude relief from being granted under subsection 3102(b) of this title, if eligible thereunder.
