All In all, IL took over some
$4,000 homes; II IL In getting
rid Of them that 1t takes Its
losses.
So far. 1t has sold 10000
slightly more than half. On
these sales II has taken an aver
age loss of 1915 per deal. But
this. say Hole officials. is
book loss and not strictly cash.
out-of-pocket loss. Into these
losses are figured accrued inter-
est and taxes--and the taxes
usually run into hundreds of dol
lars-costs of repair and recon-
ditioning, the cost Of foreclosure.
and of course the unpaid balance
of the loans.
Hole is getting rid of its real
estate at the rate Of 1000 sales
per month; at the same time,
foreclosures have dropped way
downtown 5000 a month, back
In 1886, TO about 400 a month
today.
Hole TURNS
A PENNY TOO
To offset the loss book or Rc-
tual-on sales, Hole makes
money In two ways.
One is on the difference be-
tween the interest II receives on
its loans and the interest it has
to pay on its bonds. Its loans
bear from a. to 5 per cent; on
its bonds. 1t pays from ~ to 4
per cent
The other source of profit Is
from rentals of homes which 1t
holds, these being more than
enough to carry the properties.
These two profits are put into
a reserve fund to cover losses.
While Holes capital stock
Of $500. 100000 shows a $751;
100000 deficit, this Is more
than offset BY SIS, 100000 in
the reserve fund.
On top Of everything else.
though. says General Manager
Charles A. Jones, is the fact that
Hole borrowers have saved up
wards OF $500. 00o, 900 in interest
alone, that other home-owners
have saved similarly because
Hole has helped reform the
mortgage structure" and that
the real estate market in general
has been saved from collapse.
Even II we lose the entire
capital stock Of the corporation"
saws Mr.. Jones. Il doubt If any,
one can challenge the net con-
trihution of the program TO our
