Many veterans, Mr. Warlick stated, have sold their homes which were covered by a loan guaranty under the pro visions of the GI Bill. It seems to have been the general opinion among such veterans that they are free of any liability under the loan guaranteed for them By the VA. Actually they are not freed from liability should the purchas: er default In payment of Install ments and a foreclosure by the lender should result In monetary loss, for In such cases the original borrower (the veteran) would be held liable for the loss. If the VA should be called upon to make a payment based upon its guaranty to the lender, the veteran would then become liable to the govern ment for such amount and inter est. msfu-nstientaoin The fact that the veteran had borrowed money at 4 per cent In terest has enabled many such a person to sell the property be cause of the very favorable rate of interest, especially If the pur chaser desires to continue the in stallments under the original con tract.

The veteran may protect himself by having the purchaser pay off that portion of the loan which has been guaranteed by the VA.
