BLUNDER THAT WIPED OUT A
BIG ESTATE.

Copyright 1873 BY C. NJ. Keys. New York.
About six years ago successful

parcels of real estate In that city. They
were mostly located In the part Of the
city with which he was perfectly familiar
and in the future OF which he believed
thoroughly. They were improved prop

ings had been erected and which yielded,
therefore, a return on the money in

on quite n common basis. in that he
had bought about twice as much prop
erty as he could pay for In cash and
so per cent of its value. the mortgages

gage companies of the city.
All that property was sold in New
York in January. under a court order
by a referee appointed to settle the es-
tate for the investor in the property had
died without a will. The record of the
sales shows that instead of getting back
between $4,000 and s6dOOo cash, over and
above the mortgages. the heirs Of this
estate will receive only whatever Is left
out Of about s17,co0. after fees and costs
have been paid and after no less thai
fourteen law firms have been settled

This incident is only one Of dozens
of a similar nature that can be ad-
duced. 1t must not be taken as
criticism Of the general practice of
buying real estate. or of investing busi-
ness money in real estate. The buying
of good rental property and placing
mortgage on the same is a pretty fair
means of using money, so long as the
man who makes the purchase UNDER
stands what he is doing and stays alive
