all have the funds for the purchase
OF a 20 per cent equity in the property
he wishes to own. Let us suppose the
property in question is appraised by
the Federal Housing Administration
at $1,000. The prospective home owner
must be able to put up $1,000 and
satisfy the bank or other lending in
stitution that he can meet the equal
periodic payments on the remaining
$4,000 over a period Of not more than
20 years. These vii! include interest,
mutual mortgage insurance and
amortization. In addition, the prop
erty owner, of course. will have taxes,
fire and other casualty insurance and
other upkeep to meet. But all Of
these charges and expenses will hardly
exceed what he would pay for rent,
and at or before the end of 20 years
he win own his home, clear and free
Of debt.
If he is building home, he can,
under proper conditions, secure a
commitment for permanent financing
by his lending institution, which will
then probably provide the funds, and
he can proceed with construction
1t will be noted that under titles
II and III, as Is the case under title
I, no direct loans are made by the
Government. The act provides only
that a home financing system be set
up through which private capital and
industry may function to better ad-
vantage than has been the case in
the mast for the benefit 0f both the
borrower and the lender of funds.

(Copyright, 1894. by the Associated Press.)
The chief objectives sought under
titles II and III of the national hous-
ing act are the establishment of spe-
cial safeguards around home owner
ship and the creation of a Nation
wide, uniform system through which
the ownership of homes may be easier
of accomplishment.
In the attainment Of these aims,
the following results should in the
course of time be brought about:
The establishment of a Nationwide
basic interest rate of not more than
5 per cent for first mortgages on all
new home construction and OF not
more than 512 per cent for home
mortgage refunding.
Short Term Loan Removed.
The elimination of the second mort
gage and all other junior instruments
in home financing.
The elimination Of the short-term
mortgage in home financing, thus
doing away with the uncertainty and
the expense Of frequent renewals of
mortgages.
The development of system through
which funds from any section Of the
country may be utilized In financing
home construction in any other sec
tion.
The establishment of plan by
which the ownership of home may
be acquired on terms comparable to
the payment of rent.
The creation of procedure through
which existing first mortgages on
dwellings may be refinanced on easy
terms.
The development Of a universal
standard of appraisals.
The establishment of a plan of
mutual mortgage insurance which will
place financial institutions again in
a position actively to engage In real
estate financing.
Associations Formed.
The organization of national mort
gage associations which will furnish
markets for home mortgages now
frozen in banks and other financial
institutions.
Place at the disposal Of investors
real estate debenture backed by first
mortgages insured under Government
supervision.
1t need not be emphasized, I be-
lieve, that all of these changes and
accomplishments will mark a new
epoch in real estate financing.
These sweeping reforms should re-

mean to those who have funds to In
vest in sound real estate securities.
Mortgage May Run 20 Years.
First, let us consider the home owner
whose property is now encountered
with q troublesome mortgage. Under
this act, he can go to n bank, build
ing and loan association, or such other
institution as may be carrying his
mortgage, and under reasonable cir
SuiiioIdlCCo lldFC Ills LlUcDIcUI1tSS re-
funded. Under the new terms his
mortgage will bear interest at the
rate of not over 51a per cent and may
run for as long as 20 years, the princi-
pal and interest payments being met
In fixed periodic installments. He also
will have an additional charge of l
per cent to insure the mortgage under
mutual plan, which will be explained
in greater detail in a future article
in this series.
The new mortgage must not exceed
$4,000 in face value nor 80 per cent
OF the value of the property as ap-
praised by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. 1t will, Of course, con-
stitute first lien on the property
and eliminate all forms of junior
financing. In addition to the lower
interest rate on his mortgage, the
home owner may have as much as
20 years in which to take care of
the debt and will have the advantage
of regular periodic payments, thus
greatly reducing If not virtually re-
moving the danger of ever losing his
property through foreclosure.
