dwelling houses, visited last week the
Brooklyn Real Estate Exchange. in
Montague Street. They went there to
see how foreclosure sales were con-
Quoted, thinking that possibly the
house seeker could get a better bar
gain at a foreclosure sale than in the
private sales market. Happily, they met
an old friend there who has had long,
varied and successful career in the
real estate market. He soon learned
their mission. ! overheard the sound
advice he gave; besides, the facts about
the salesrooms he presented 20 them
in an interesting way. | am quite sure
brokers will agree with me that the
house hunter was set on the right way
TO buy home.
AT foreclosure sales all cash is re-
quired, and unless you are financially
strong enough said the expert, you
may be unable to complete your pur-
chase. For instance. you may see a
house listed for sale under the ham
mer that you like. Your bid OF 1000
is the highest at the sale, and therefore
you are the buyer. You have only
$4,000 cash. You pay the required 10
per cent deposit on the day of the sale
and then 60 in search of lender who
will advance you the $1,000 10 COM
plete the sale You are unable to Dor
row such large sum. and, of course,
failing TO complete your contract, you
lose your deposit. Not a very nice
venture or experience for you.
First make up your mind what you
can pay for a home and then stick 20
that figure. Otherwise. in a financial
sense you may get beyond your depth
and become permanently submerged.
Next go in search of district where
you think you can find the house YOU
want at the price fixed. II YOU find
the district is not cleanly. and there
is an air of lack of care about the up
keep Of property, leave that district,
and keep searching until YOU discover
the residential centre that just suits
YOU. II must not only be clearly and
attractive in other ways, but IL must
be so located that YOU can easily reach
II at any hour. Nov, before you be-
gin the selection OF the house you
want inspect large number of houses
10 rent, look carefully at the layout OF
the floors. how the properties have
stood usage. and jot down in a memo
rsndum book the rentals asked, to-
gether with the number and size OF
the rooms. and facts about the general

The young men were about TO leave
the room when the broker asked them
If they would like to hear his views
on how best to buy a house for cash
over mortgage. They said they
would. By this time many in the
salesrooms had joined the group of
listeners, as the broker was apparently
DESTROYS of having his advice reach as
many ears as possible.
"The trouble that besets most home
buyers is the mortgage burden con-
tinued the broker. in the beginning
many assume too big a risk, and II
things 20 awry they are unable 10
meet the interest and other malnte-
nance charges and they lose their prop
erty. OF course, they haven't really lost
a very large sum. for their original
equity was small. But they could prob
ably have escaped financial distress II
they had not bought until they were
able to pay forty per cent of the price
of the house. Thirty per cent is, in
many cases. a safe purchasing margin,
but the larger equity is the best. Let
Us suppose that we have saved up about
81 200 and We want 10 provide a per-
manent home for our family. Now,
with the sum In hand we cannot eX-
pect nor do we want a luxurious man
sion. We. however. want and can buy
q nice home of abou; six rooms in the
city in the growing Brooklyn, Queens
and Richmond home sections and IN
some parts of The Bronx yet. A $4,000
frame house will serve our needs and
we will be able TO carry it so that one
day we will own it free and clear IL
should be the object of every home
owner 10 have his premises free and
clear. If we invest 81 200 in a $4,000
house, there remains a hen on the
property in the form Of a mortgage
for 81 500. Under the usual way Of
buying. we would let that mortgage re-
main permanently. II that mortgage
is at 5 per cent interest at the end Of
about every sixteen years we Will have
paid IN interest a sum equivalent 10
the mortgage and yet the mortgage re-
mains a burden on the property. But
if we place building loan association
mortgage on the premises we will be
monthly reducing the loan and at the
expiration OF about ten years we ought
TO have the loan paid off. An Sl,s00
loan can be paid at the rate Of about
SIS a month Nearly all OF US could
meet such an obligation and become
owners of homes free and clear."

So far as known, no three big or
little real estate appraisers have ever
exactly agreed as to the value, present
or probable, of any improved or va
cant property. 1t is this variance of
experts as TO the values that often
causes a prospective home buyer TO
have many doubts as to whether or not
the dwelling he is thinking Of buying
as a home for himself will prove
costly or profitable realty holding TO
him. One real estate appraiser may
tell him the house isn't worth a penny
more than $4,000, whereas the owner
wants SI1 500 for the property; an
other unbiased expert may perhaps IN
form the house hunter that the prem
ises are cheap at $4,000, and still an
other experienced judge of real estate
may say that $1,000 would be an
equable price 10 pay for the house and
land. Here is a difference OF $1,000
between the lowest and highest est-
mates of the market worth Of the prop
erty. At this juncture the house hun
ter begins 10 doubt the ability or non
esty Of the appraisers. even though ne
may know that they have been top
notchers in the realty world for years.
The wide difference in appraisements
is due to the large number OF factors
that figure in the establishment of
realty values. AT every turn in the
realty world are new angles of vision.
and if all the judges of realty see
real property from the same angle
their estimates Of values will be almost
alike" is an old and true saying. An
other axiom we'll TO remember is that
mo general rule for successful realty
buying has ever been formulated" In
the case in question the owner seeking
Sl1,500 for his property would prob
ably take Sl1.250 or a little less if he
were apprised of the fact that the OBJ
stacle TO quick sale was the diver
gence Of expert opinion on the market
value of the property. and the buyer
would take over the property, satisfied
that he had got a good realty holding.
II home buyers based their bids only
On the lowest appraisals the market
for private dwellings would indeed be
in a deplorable condition.

whom WAS counselling the purchase Of

especially since under the distrlcting
regulations the areas are 50 small in
the city in which private homes may be
built without fear OF Objectionable
neighbors. These small places will be
come so congested. according TO Mr..
Hubbel's idea that those seeking the
real country atmosphere will.be COM
PEELED to 60 beyond the city limits.
Speculative builders already have
ruined large amount Of the prettiest
part OF the suburban area with their
monstrous fathouses." Mr.. Fubbell
said yesterday. because they thought
they could get more money than by
holding their land for private homes.
There are a few places left where the
ideal is above financial consideration
Garden City always will be one o.
