HRS §412:10-409

Rules for credit union loans secured by real estate

This section sets limits on how much a credit union can lend when the loan is secured by real estate. The limit depends on the property's appraised value and whether it is residential or nonresidential. It also explains how to calculate the loan-to-value ratio and allows the credit union to require regular deposits for property expenses.
