HRS §206E-117
Buying existing loans from mortgage lenders
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section lets the housing authority buy existing home loans from mortgage lenders, even if those loans would not normally qualify. The authority can add contract terms to protect its bonds, like requiring lenders to buy loans back, pay into a reserve fund, or guarantee against defaults. Each purchase must come with a promise that the lender will make new eligible loans of about the same total amount.
