8. a. Upon application of a member for a mortgage loan the director shall, within 90 days, make available to the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency sufficient funds to provide mortgage loans in accordance with the provisions of this act, except that no mortgage loan shall be made at any time when the total of all principal balances owing on mortgage loans made pursuant to this act, less all write-offs and reserves with respect to these mortgage loans, together exceeds, or by the making of the loan would exceed, 10% of the total investment assets, including mortgage loans, of the retirement system. Every mortgage loan made hereunder shall be evidenced by a note or bond and shall be secured by a mortgage on the fee of real property located within this State. Every mortgage shall be certified to be a first lien by an attorney-at-law of this State or certified or guaranteed to be a first lien by a corporation authorized to guarantee titles to land in this State. For the purposes of this section, a mortgage shall be deemed to be a first lien, notwithstanding the existence of a lien for current taxes or assessments not due or payable at the time the loan is made, and notwithstanding the existence of leases, building restrictions, easements, encroachments, or covenants which do not materially lessen the value of the real property to be mortgaged.

b. Pursuant to rules established by the State Treasurer, with the advice of the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, no mortgage loan shall be made under this act except upon a written certification signed by at least two persons appointed or retained by the appraisers. In the case of a mortgage loan secured by a mortgage upon real property, such certification shall state the opinion of such persons as to the value of the land and the improvements thereon or to be erected thereon and the character of such improvements. Such certification shall be filed with the records of the retirement system and shall be preserved until the retirement system has no interest, as mortgagee or otherwise, in the real property.

c. No mortgage loan secured by a mortgage on real property shall be made unless the property shall consist of improved real property, or unimproved real property if the proceeds of such loan shall be used for the purposes of erecting improvements thereon.
