Upon such conveyance and assignment, the commissioner shall direct the Treasurer to pay to the mortgagee a sum equal to the value of the mortgage as hereinafter provided. For the purposes of this section, the value of the mortgage shall be determined by adding to the amount of the original principal obligation of the mortgage which was unpaid on the date of the institution of the foreclosure proceedings or on the date of the acquisition of the property after default other than by foreclosure, the amount of all payments made by the mortgagee for taxes and liens prior to the mortgage, and for insurance, and by deducting from such total amount any amount received on account of the mortgage after either of such dates, and any amount received as rent or other income from the property, less reasonable expenses incurred in handling the property after either of such dates.
