Q-I am considering purchas.
ing a house. The first mortgage
is about $4,000 and the price OF
the house is $1,000. Since have
money available to pay cash up
to the first mortgage, would it be
better to draw this from the
bank and lose the interest or to
pay only the cash required by the
builder and pay of the balance
in quarterly installments?
A-This should be answered by de
termining how much interest you are
getting from the bank on the cash
you have there and seeing how this
compares with interest charged you
by your contractor. 1t Is probable
that the contractor will charge you
much more than you are receiving
from the hank. II you pay off in in.
stallments there will be an additional
MISSION for the drafting Of the sec.
ond mortgage or contract for deed
papers Under the circumstances, 1t
seems probable that you should use
your cash to pay UP in full the
amount above the first mortgage.
This Is nearly always the best
scheme. 1t amounts in principle to
paying cash. and ordinarily you
should be able to buy your house al
O. better figure for cash.
Q-How many iron supports
should there be in the basement?
A-The number OF supports neca8
sary for overhead beams In the bass'
ment Is determined by carefully fig
uring the amount Of weight they
must carry. With wooden beams or
girders, the maximum spacing for
the posts or columns Of whatever
material Is eight feet. Steel beams
may span a greater distance, but are
carefully figured according to the
weight that 10 imposed upon them.
Owe have . lot on . hillside
with q decided slope. Could
house from stock plans be adapt
ed to this site? II so, what type
Of house would look best?
A-Stock plans can usually be ad-
iusted to such conditions. Your
architect will make the necessary ad-
iustments. He will also help you
select plan that is suitable for the
pt. If the slope is slight very few
h1anges would be necessary. IL
,tere is a considerable slope, spe.
Val plan may be necessary. This is
