Homes of the Better Class Lead Real Estate Sales
Owning Your Apartment
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

The cooperative ownership of apartments dea-pre-
sened Washington through The Times two weeks ago-has
met with an enthusiastic reception The Allan t. walker
Company first to offer the plan in concrete form to wash
ngon tenants sold apartment during the FIRST week OF
the plans operation and reports rapidly enargng waiting list
for other buildings.
The plan meets success because it fills demand. II
offers opportunity to tenants in apartment houses TO BE-
come their own landlords and obtain shelter at cost
In practical operation the plan this group OF people
who want occupy certain apartment house form COM
pany and purchase the apartment building. They each pay
pro rata share the initial payment required the purchase
and then establish scale of rents sufficiently high to meet
the deferred payments the mortgage and to provide for
the maintenance and of the building The care and
management of the apartment with the duty of collecting
rents is then entrusted to agent.
Under the co-opratve plan tenant can purchase an
apartment for approximately $1,000 per room An apart
ment building containing separate apartments of four
each can be built for approximately $4,000 The maximum
cash required finance such proposition would be about
$4,000 The carrying charges would amount to approx
matey $4,000 per year. Therefore, during the time the
apartment being paid for each tenants rent would be
approximately SIS per month for four-room apartment
When the building paid for rent of $40 from each tenant
would provide an ample fund for carrying charges 1t is
readily seen that the plan offers lower rents than be OBJ
tanned in any other way.
The idea brings to apartment buildings certain pride of
ownership heretofore found only among the of homes
II gives the tenants substantial interest in the community
it gives them home of their own.
