Every association shall have power to invest in or otherwise acquire loans and interests in loans, secured or unsecured, of any type or amount and for any purpose, subject only to the requirement that as an annual average based on monthly computations, an amount equal to at least fifty percent of the gross assets other than liquid assets of the association and any of its service corporations and subsidiaries (to the extent of the association's interest in the service corporations or subsidiaries) must be invested in one or more of the following:
(a) real estate loans or interests therein on home property or primarily residential property;
