No domestic insurer may acquire or hold real property except as follows:  (1) Such as shall be requisite for the convenient accommodation of the transaction of its own business; the amount invested in such real property shall not exceed twenty per cent of the investing insurer's admitted assets, but the commissioner of insurance may grant permission to the insurer to invest in real property for such purpose, in such increased amount as he may deem proper on the showing made if he shall find that the amount represented by such percentage of its admitted assets is insufficient to provide convenient accommodation for the insurer's business;  (2) Such as shall have been mortgaged to it in good faith by way of security for loans previously contracted or for monies due;  (3) Such as shall have been conveyed to it in satisfaction of debts previously contracted in course of its dealings;  (4) Such as shall have been purchased at sales on judgments, decrees or mortgages obtained or made for such debts; and  (5) Such unencumbered real property as shall have been acquired, in whole or in part, in exchange for real property of approximately the same value theretofore legally acquired and held by it, provided that the amount invested in any one parcel of property so acquired, other than property acquired for the purpose, specified in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection, shall not exceed two percent of the investing insurer's admitted assets.  (6) Such real estate as shall have been acquired in R.S. 22:584.  (7) Such as shall be held as security for contracts for deeds acquired in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 22:584(A)(5), and not in default.  (8) Such as may be acquired or held in connection with a loan or investment permitted by R.S. 22:584(H).  B. All real property acquired for purposes, or in the manner, specified in paragraphs other than Paragraphs (1), (6), (7), and (8) of Subsection A of this Section may be held for a period of five years after the insurer shall have acquired title to the same and thereafter until the date specified in an order issued by the commissioner of insurance directing the insurer to dispose of the same. The date specified in such order shall be not less than six months from the date of the service of the said order upon the insurer. No such order shall be issued without a hearing and a determination by the commissioner of insurance that the interests of the insurer will not suffer materially by the sale of the same within the period to be specified.
