LOW RETURNS
Apartment Houses Yield
Poor Dividends, Macom-
ber's Report Shows.

Low returns to investors In apart
ment houses Is shown In figures
compiled by the U. 8. Housing Cor
poration and made public by the re-
firing vice president, Irving E. Ma
comber. Many investors are getting
as little as per cent on the invest
mont, according to the figures.
According to the tabulation, the
yearly total expense for upkeep of
residence properties represents s.s
per cent Of the investment. This,
with the interest of 8 per cent.
would justify the owner in chsrg-
ing a gross rental Of 1876 per cent.
However, the statistics show that
an average gross rental Of but 13sS
per cent was obtained during the
period covered.
This would mean, 1t Is pointed out,
that in renting a residence costing
the owner $4,000, a rental Of $3.50 a
month would be necessary to net a
return of per cent. On this basis
the yearly upkeep. including main
tenance, IS per cent: service. 1 per
cent; insurance. 2 per cent; taxes
and assessments, Ia per cent; va
cancies and bad accounts. per
cent; depreciation and obsolescence.
per cent. and administration, s.
per cent, would amount to $3.50.
A gross rental Of 2o.2 per cent on
the investment is justified on apart
ments, the figures show. whereas
the actual rental obtained averaged
17.2 per cent. The total yearly ex-
pense was 14.2 per cent, and the
deficit on justified returns ) per
cent.
Assuming that an apartment
house cost the owner 100000, he
would be justified. according to Mr..
Macomber's figuring, in charging
a yearly rental for the apartments
aggregating $1,000, netting him a
return of 5000. The tabulation
reveals, however, that the yearly
return in such instance actually
was only $4,000.
In arriving at the total expense
per year of apartment houses the
same factors were taken into con-
sideration as with residence prop
critics. s=Depreciation and obsoles-
cence were estimated and assumed
in the replies to questionnaires.
In the same announcement the
Housing Corporation cites figures
based on the October, 1919, report
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
showing that each person paid only
80 per cent more for housing in
December. 1919. than they did IN
1913. Other necessities OF life ad-
vanced as follows: Food. 81 per
cent; clothing, 15s per cent, fuel
and light. IS per cent; furniture
and furnishings, 173 per cent. and
miscellaneous. 50 per cent. The
average increase in the cost of liv-
Ing since 1913 was 81 per cent.

Can See Investment.
Washington real estate furnishes
an investment which is a known
quantity. That Is, one who intends
to invest In mortgages can see the
property and determine for himself
just what he will get in the event
of a default. With a first mort
gage he gets the property on
which he has had q chance to pass
before putting out the money.
Land and buildings in the Capital
City will maintain their present
value for q long time, in the opinion
OF realtors who know the situation.
While the first mortgages on local
real estate pay 6 per cent as against
2. s and 10 per cent in the case OF
the industrials, nevertheless the
element Of chance is greater in the
latter than in the former.
Much money OF the investors in
Washington which could be used for
the development OF real estate here
is fast going out of the city to the
industrial operations which are
more attractive to the pocketbook
because of the high interest.
Seek Capital Here.
Many circulars are flowing into
the city from the big corporations
investors money. 1t Is to counter
act this propaganda that Mr.. Fair
fax Is preparing his letter. In IL he
will outline many reasons why local
people should consider well before
sending their money out of the city
to help outside industries in order
to get the higher rate of interest.
Because of the action of the build
ing associations and trust companies
in Withdrawing their support OF
building operations by negotiating
loans there is a decided tightness Of
money for real estate operations.
Until some method can be found to
attract to this field enough money
of individual investors to make up
for the Withdrawals by the banking
institutions the present shortage of
homes will likely continue. The
matter undoubtedly will come up
for discussion at the next meeting
of the local realtors association.
Must BE Attractive.
