• For loans approved prior to May 14, 2007, the lender must liquidate all collateral and all cost-effective means of recovery must be exhausted unless the remaining principal balance of the loan is $50,000 or less; or the loan involves prolonged litigation or other circumstances that will extend the liquidation process more than 90 calendar days past the earliest date that the Lender could request guaranty purchase.
