Money Available For G1 Loans Veterans in those areas of this state where private financing for GI home loans is not available were advised today that the Vet erans Administration now has funds available to permit immed iate fulfillment of applications for direct loans from the VA. Until recently, eligible South Carolina veterans had to face long delays in obtaining direct loans because the special funds for the program were insufficient to han dle the large number of applica tions, John I. Findley, Loan Guar anty Officer of the Columbia VA Regional Office, explained. In recent months the VA has sold large blocks of direct loan mortgages to financial institu tions seeking investments and the proceeds from these sales go back into a special revolving fund pro vided by the Congress for financ ing direct loans to veterans, Mr. Findley pointed out. Sale of these mortgages to private financial in terests does not alter the interest rate or other considerations guar anteed the veteran by the VA.
