Monthly service charge l.l5 None
Total monthly pay
If the home owner still wanted to
make 20 per cent down payment.
his savings of service charges and
insurance premiums would bring his
monthly payments down to $3225.
These arrangements would be made
by the prospective home owner with
his local bank or building and loan
association, which would negotiate
insurance Of the mortgage with the
Federal Housing Administration.
Although the monthly payments
under the proposed program are
slightly larger than under the present
one, the eventual cost of the home
would be $24960 less. Including the
down payment and monthly payments
for 20 years the present plan makes
a $4,000 home cost s9,56l60, while
the new plan would make it cost
