FINANCING COSTS
ARE USUALLY FAIR
Constructors of Big Build
ings Seldom Pay Excessive
Charges, Engineer Declares

The stupendous costs involved in
the erection of the monster office and
apartment structures. now SO typical
of New York. have been attributed in
some quarters to be largely due to un-
due financing expenditures. In the
opinion of r. r. H. Bacon. prominent
New York engineer, the charge is un-
founded
I'm the honestly conceived and plan
ned commercial real estate venture,
said Mr.. Bacon. "the financing costs
are seldom out of line. The borrower
usually has three avenues open to
him when he seeks loan.
Three Agencies Open.
I'm the first place he may go to
what are usually known as the old
line financing agencies. In New
York as general rule these are the
larger insurance companies. The cost
of obtaining loan from such sources
averages , per cent. which goes to
cover such expenditures as the mort
gage recording tax, the attorneys
fees. the engineers check on the ad-
visibility of the loan and perhaps a
supervising architects fee. if the loan
Is granted. This, of course. assumes
that no brokers' commission figures
in: If il does. another | per cent needs
he added. These 'oldline' companies
will not loan more than about 60 per
cent of the whole value of the COM
pleted land and building.
I'm the second place, the Would-be
borrower may go to what may be
termed the intermediate type of bond
house. Here he may get IL larger
amount of cash and more liberal
terms. And, of course. he pays for it
in a larger disbursements to 4 per
cent
'In the third place he may go to
the bond house, properly so called, one
whose business is wholly identified
with the placing of loans and market
ing bonds. Here the loan will prob
ably be still larger and the cost still
higher to 8 per cent. Which when
there is added the years interest, al
ways deducted in advance. brings the
cost of the first years financing close
70 Is per cent.
Some Financing Excessive.
THE financing charge is not too
much. not in those instances outlined.
The fact is that the third type of
lender has really made possible our
great real estate development He has
made it possible to distribute very
widely the ownership OF real estate
securities and thus to collect the cap
ital which made all our great build
ings possible. His charges to the bor-
rover are naturally higher, because
his services are greater; he lends more
cash and his distribution expense is
considera BILE, because of his bond.
selling organization.
There are instances OF buildings
where the financing costs are eXces-
sive, but they do not come within the
realm of what | said at the beginning
the realm of honestly conceived and
planned commercial ventures. Every
one in the real estate field knows of
buildings where the loans have been
equal to the total cost. OF course,
these are not honest and only by great
good luck will they turn out right
