Realtors of the city hold the real

realtors is not generally known to

may be able to arrive at the real
value of any particular piece of
property that may come under his

times the seller figures his selling
price upon the cost of the property
to him: this. however. is not at all

Advice to home builders 10 ex-t
pertly given In the following article
taken from September issue OF The
Magazine Of wali Street."
"For the benent Of those who may
not have had access to all our home
building articles in the past It may
not be smiss to list the more Inn
portant findings Of our home-build-
ing page. SO that definite idea Of
what this form of investment en-
tails and what opportunities IL
offers may be had by all.
Chief among the conclusions our
home building analysts have form
ed is that what might prove an
entirely suitable and highly profit
able venture for one man may be
the opposite for another. In this
Connection we have a vivid picture
OF two home builders well known
to this department. one Of whom
was entirely successful with his
project. while the other ended up
in dismal failure. The influence
that made the first man successful
was his own innate capacity for
doing odd 5obs-jobs that run into
money in q years time. however
cheap they may be individually.
The other fellow either couldn't or
wouldn't do them, and his second
year found him heavily involved AL
because bought q house" as he ex-
planned II, but actually because he
let incidental expenses that he
might have controlled get beyond
his reach.
Demand Too Much.
Conclusion No. is that intending
home builders frequently demand
more in a home they build than In
one they rent-and then wonder
why their carrying charges SO far
exceed rent. One reader. for ex-
ample, recently used a s75-a-month
rental as the basis for comparison
with a $40, 900 home. He found that
such a home would consume s1.4o0
a year in carrying charges. or s105
a month; and he thereupon con-
cluded that he could save $50
month by continuing to pay rent.
IF this proposition is thought
over a bit. the unfairness- the
comparison becomes apparent. For
instance. in New York City II is i'm
possible to get more than a i've
room fat for 500 a month, even by
resOrtinE 10 DuliolnSs on the outer
reaches of the city; that Is the
equivalent of $50 a room. On the
other hand, a home that cost $4,000
to build. would have eight rooms In
II. and need not be located at any
less convenient point. Such a home,
by our readers own testimony.
would cost only s1o5 a month, or
about sl3 a room.
Conclusion No. is that. just as
an Insurance policy offers a strong
impetus to savings that might

on paying rent. can reserve for
