The interim loan shall bear an interest rate to be determined in accordance with Subsection (t) of Section 3-20 of the Connecticut General Statutes.(2) The term of the permanent loan shall be for a period not to exceed 50 years. The actual term will be determined by taking into account the financial feasibility of the project and term of the rental subsidy, if any, for the project. The interest rate shall be determined in accordance with Subsection (t) of Section 3-20 of the Connecticut General Statutes.(3) All permanent loans shall be secured by a mortgage note and deed.(4) Amortization of the loan shall commence once the monthly project income meets or exceeds the approved operating budget or at the closing of the permanent loan, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner may waive the requirement for amortization prior to the closing of the permanent loan, if it is in the best interest of the State.(e) A lien shall be filed on all property for which the State has provided financial assistance. The Commissioner may subordinate the State's lien if the level of State financial assistance so warrants. This requirement may be waived if the Commissioner determines that such waiver will be in the best interest of the State.Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-214h-5
