 The down payment does not nec- essarily have to be met in cash. A building lot may be accepted as all or part of the down payment.

 The amount of the loan, repay ment period, charges, and other specific details of the transaction are matters to be arranged between the borrower and lender, but the lender must be guided by Federal
