(2) If the ownership of the secured property is transferred by deed or otherwise to anyone other than a veteran eligible for a loan under this chapter and Article XI-A of the Oregon Constitution, the veteran’s surviving spouse or unremarried former spouse, the veteran’s surviving child or stepchild, another veteran eligible for a loan under this chapter and Article XI-A of the Oregon Constitution who assumes the previous loan for the property as described in ORS 407.305 or a governmental entity when the secured property is transferred for public use, the interest from the date of transfer shall be at the rate per annum then fixed as provided by ORS 407.335. However, the department, during the term of the loan, may periodically prescribe the interest rates to be paid by the transferee.

The amount so paid may be added to and become part of the principal of the loan and be repaid as prescribed by the department. The department may prescribe any method or period for repayment of the amount so paid that is not in conflict with the mortgage, the trust deed or a separate agreement. The department may prescribe any method or period for repayment of interest on the amount so paid that is not in conflict with the mortgage, the trust deed or a separate agreement with the borrower.
