like this | should not comment
upon farm lands as location, soil
and improvements vary so much
with different properties.
Way to Make Money
Perhaps the simplest and surest
way TO make money in real estate
is TO select a growing, well-located
city with diversified industries and
surrounded by good soil. Most mid
western cities. which are situated
on a nayigable lake or river, full
fill such requirements.
After SELECTING your city, ascer-
tain the best residential street
leading out from the center OF
the city. Go out that street in the
right direction for a few miles
until you come to vacant land. Then
stop and inquire the price. So
long as the price is quoted per
front foot" or per square foot"
go along further until someone
quotes you a price per acre..
Everything else being equal, buy
at this location.
Watch Your Step
Although real estate prices in
many sections have risen consider
ably, there is no sign-except in
previously war-inflated areas-of
a turn downward. In fact, fore
see no general decline for few
years.
On the other hand, one should
buy much more carefully now. For
instance. few years ago almost
any property, relatively well To-
Gated, could be purchased for spec
ulation with reasonable certainty
that the transaction would return
a profit. Now that is no longer
true. This is we'll borne out by
noting that the rate OF transfers
has slowed up.
Local Conditions Important
Certain areas will experience
further drops in values where war
contracts are not being replaced
by peacetime business. A marked
cessation OF employment or redis-
tribution OF industry and people in
some sections could spell drastic
local deflation as reconversion is
completed.
Construction activity in other To-
calities will increase sharply as
contracts are let for new plants.
