"(3) Any real estate loan (other than for repairs, alterations, or

mining whether a loan for the purchase or construction of a home is 
so secured, the Administrator may disregard a superior lien created 
by a duly recorded covenant running with the realty in favor of a 
private entity to secure an obligation to such entity for the home-
owner's share of the costs of the management, operation, or mainte-
nance of property, services or programs within and for the benefit of 
the development or community in which the veteran's realty is located, 
if he determines that the interests of the veteran borrower and of the 
Government w^ill not be prejudiced by the operation of such covenant. 
In respect to any such superior lien to be created after the effective date 
of this amendment, the Administrator's determination must have been 
made prior to the recordation of the covenant. Any non-real-estate 
loan (other than for working or other capital, merchandise, goodwill, 
and other intangible assets) sliall be secured by personalty to the extent 
legal and practicable."
