The agency may renegotiate, refinance, foreclose, or contract for the foreclosure of any mortgage executed pursuant to Section 52514 which is in default, and may waive any default or consent to the modification of the terms of any mortgage. With respect to mortgage loans made pursuant to this part, the agency shall require that mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices, including forebearance and recasting of mortgages in default, conform to agency regulations. The agency may commence any action to protect or enforce any right conferred upon it by any law, mortgage, contract, or other agreement, and may bid for and purchase property sold in satisfaction thereof at any foreclosure or other sale or may otherwise acquire and take possession of such property. In connection with any such proceeding, the agency may assume any underlying mortgage held by a qualified mortgage lender or may, as necessary to acquire and take possession of such property, pay any note in order to remove any prior encumbrance. Subject to any agreement with bondholders, the agency may operate, manage, lease, dispose of, and otherwise deal with such property in such manner as may be necessary to protect the interest of the agency and the holders of its bonds.
