The funds become available at the closing of your home and are standard, 30-year fixed-rate loans. All other Utah Housing Corporation loans must be paid off before the closing of your new property and the home must not be rented out for the duration of the loan.

These types of loans require the home to be owner-occupied (no rentals) for the duration of the loan.
