Section 3705. Prerequisites to foreclosure

      Foreclosure by the Secretary under this chapter of a multifamily
    mortgage may be commenced, as provided in section 3707 of this
    title, upon the breach of a covenant or condition in the mortgage
    agreement for which foreclosure is authorized under the mortgage,
    except that no such foreclosure may be commenced unless any
    previously pending proceeding, judicial or nonjudicial, separately
    instituted by the Secretary to foreclose the mortgage other than
    under this chapter has been withdrawn, dismissed, or otherwise
    terminated. No such separately instituted foreclosure proceeding on
    the mortgage shall be instituted by the Secretary during the
    pendency of foreclosure pursuant to this chapter. Nothing in this
    chapter shall preclude the Secretary from enforcing any right,
    other than foreclosure, under applicable State law, including any
    right to obtain a monetary judgment. Nothing in this chapter shall
    preclude the Secretary from foreclosing under this chapter where
    the Secretary has obtained or is seeking any other remedy available
    pursuant to Federal or State law or under the mortgage agreement,
    including, but not limited to, the appointment of a receiver,
    mortgagee-in-possession status, relief under an assignment of
    rents, or transfer to a nonprofit entity pursuant to section 1701q
    of this title or section 8013 of title 42.
