:.As receiver for Connecticut's closed banks I find myself faced with the problem of selling more than $4,000,0O0 worth of real estate for these closed banks, In making 8 thorough study of real estate con- ditionS In Connecticut find tre- snendous shortage of rents and some shortage of commercial property Other observers have noted the fact that the small amount of new con- struction during the past few years plus the fact that many buildings have grown obsolete is an important factor in creating the present short- age.
 "These observers have also shown that both residential and commer- ciai rents have already increased and that mortgage money is easier to obtain now than it has been in several years.
 Good Investment
 ITO me, the outstanding feature of the present real estate condition is that real estate bought right to- day is 8 verify good investment. A good percentage of return can be realized from good real estate in- vestHnent today. The value of the real estate itself is already increas- ing and in my judgment 1t will in- crease stlli further in the immediate future. Real estate is 8 safe. invest ment; one of the safest of all in- ;Nestnents.
 For that reason I feel that the puroperty. being offered for sale now by the closed banks of the state of Connecticut offerse an extremely good opportunity, not only to those who would like to own their home, but also to those who are consider ing real estate as an investment"
