Values cannot be determined until
the land is used. General opinion is
that with few exceptions all classes
of property are highly overpriced.
Florida banks will not lend money
on personal valuations nor accept
new mortgages as collateral.
8. Financing is expensive and the
law permits interest which is three
times greater than the usury limits
of other States.
10. High taxes for improvements
and bond issues will burden many
cities for generations. Many bond
issues for impracticable harbor and
similar projects which cannot pay
will be repudiated or break the
towns issuing them.
IL. Every questionable method
ever devised has been used by the
INSCRIPTIONS land salesman. Prop
critics advantages are exaggerated,
profits are guaranteed with no
method of making good on the guar
antee, and unethical tactics are en-
ployed.
Titles Confused
70. Titles to land are hopelessly
confused.
49, Florida can never become a
summer resort because Of the heat,
oppressive humidity and pests. Most
authorities say this, and the fact
that there is no diversity of scenery
makes practical production Of NOV
ing pictures impossible. Remember,
too, there is no oil anywhere in
Florida.
IA The State has been thrown on
the defensive and has already begun
an advertising campaign to offset the
stories of losses and discomforts told
by those who are on the way home
after a fruitless search for riches.
Is. Unmistakable signs point to a
break in the boom, which will come
not as a sudden drop in prices, but
an exodus of buyers and brokers'.
Prices will hold for a time, with no
buyersin sight, and then drop gradu-
ally as owners fail to meet their pay
ments or tire of holding.
Conclusions
These signs are: the Withholding
Of credit from Florida merchants
and builders with threats of re-
ceiverships: spectators unloading
already or planning to get out from
under by January or February; high
pressure sales methods which al
ways result in a slump; mortgages
coming due on many properties for
which no sale can now be found at
inflated prices; promise of prosecu-
tons against crooked dealers which
will make the public shy from all
dealers; the nervousness Of the
people generally, even in Florida,
who are asking how long the boom
will last.
The above are the main conclu-
sions drawn after careful study.
Nothing has been said in this
series of articles which has not been
substantiated by leading Florida
business men who see In the boom a
menace to their permanent invest
ments, a check to legitimate develop
ment, a danger to prosperity and a
blot on their regulations.
There are, of course solid enter
prises in Florida. There are some
subdivisions mostly suburbs Of the
larger cities, which have real merit
and will some day be worth the
money asked for them. These may
weather the slump which is due.
