The average life of a city
tree is roughly that of man
so or 70 years or so. In the
country, a tree lives longer,
but the air is fresher there,
the life more serene.
In Washington. you have a
good opportunity to study both
man and trees. In some ways
there is a similarity between
the two. Both need sun; both
must breathe. Both like free
dom. Neither likes to be
pushed around.
Whether he measures up or
not. man has always been a
bit overaWed by trees, and
respectful of them. Old AriS-
totle used to think they could
think and reason. Perhaps so.
though nobody has ever proved
it. But it's almost a certainty
that if trees could reason they
would have a fairly low opin-
ion of man, for their standards
are so different.

assume much of the respon-
sibility for repayment of the
loan.
These two vernmen n t
agencies set up financial terms
under which they will assume
part of the risk, and they also
pass on the real estate credit
involved.
Subdivision builders usually
obtain FILA loan insurance or
VA guarantees for their houses
before putting them on the
market.
Men and women who are
veterans of World. War II or
the Korean war are eligible
for CT loans. Any one is ELI
gible for an FILA loan who can
meet certain qualifications.
In both cases, the money is
obtained from a lending
agency, such as a bank. saw
lngs and loan institution. or
other lender, just as a conven-
tional loan is obtained. The
Government guarantee is an
a dc e d inducement to the
lender to grant the loan. 1t
also inclines the lender to
make a loan that allows you
to make a smaller down pay
ment.
The amount Of down pay
ment you will need depends on
the size Of loan you can get.

Less popular than Scrooge
at Christmas is a lender who
refuses a prospective home
owner a loan.
Yet lenders-banks. savings
and loan associations. trust
companies, mortgage bankers
see many homes become
burdens, not boons, because
the buyer didn't appraise his
assets realistically. A good
lender can help him do that,
even though it may mean he
can't afford to buy at all. or
that a less expensive house is
his final choice.
When estimates are made
today of how much you can
afford to spend. the general
rule of thumb for the average
family with moderate tastes
is that the payments should
not exceed 20 per cent of your
monthly gross income. Pay
ments include mortgage, taxes
and insurance.
For example, if you are buy
ing an $4,000 house with a
conventional loan of $4,000
for 20 years at 5 per cent in
terest, your total monthly pay
ment would be approximately
500 a month ($79.20 for pay
ment on principal and inter-
est, $14 for taxes and $3.50
for insurance. In this case
you would need, of course.
$4,000 in cash for the down
payment.
Rule Is a Good One.
The rule that your monthly
payment should not exceed 20
per cent of your gross monthly
income is a good one. I believe.
But it must be applied intel
ligently to individual cases.
When an application for a
loan is presented. the good
lender takes into account all
the factors that go to make up
your financial condition.
These include your credit,
other monthly payments for
which you are obligated (such
as for a car or radio). the Sc
curity of your employment. an
estimate for utilities and heat
ing, and your personal cost of
living.
This last item varies widely.
Your living expenses include

lowance for family medical
and education expenses, what
you spend for recreation. and

calls a tree is sometimes de-
fined as a plant exceeding 20
feet in height that has

trees soar up high in a mighty

stunted, or rived by the wind
and weather.

Whot 0 Look For You Buy Build
How Much Con You Afford to Spend for House?

Generally it's a good idea not
to use your last penny for the
down payment.
Eor most houses, FHA in
SureS q loan up to 80 per cent
of the agency's valuation Of
the property, up to a maximum
loan of $4,000.
Down Payment Is Lower.
Therefore. in the case of the
$4,000 house referred to above.
FILA could insure a loan up to
$14,400 which would mean
that your down payment could
be as low as $500, or $2.400
less than you probably would
pay if you obtained a conven-
tional loan. H.
FILA does not allow you to
borrow on a mortgage from a
second source to raise some
of the down payment. so you
would be responsible for the
$500 in cash.
The interest rate on FHA-.
insured loans is Az per cent.
plus one-half of l per cent
for FILA insurance, or an ef-
fective rate of 5 per cent. Most
FHA loans are made for 90
years, though in some cases
they can be for longer terms.
In the case of GI loans,
which have the most liberal
terms of all, down payments
vary from nothing to any
amount. depending on the pur-
chase price and the type of the
property. The interest rate Is
Az per cent for terms up to
30 years.
1t is legal under VA-guaran-
teed loans, as it is not under
FHA-insured loans, for the
buyer to give a second trust, or
mortgage, to help raise the
down payment. provided the
second mortgage is also amor
tized and the payments are
within the buyers ability to
pay.
One Is Net Guaranteed.
The third of the three types,
the conventional loan which is
not guaranteed by the Gov
ernment, usually does not ex-
ceed two-thirds of the value
OF the property, and is usually
repaid in monthly payments
over a period Of Is to 20 years,
at a current interest rate of
from AZ to S per cent.
The interest rate is likely to
be a bit higher for country
property. farther away from
downtown and future buyers.
So. for an $4,000 house, q
conventional loan would prob
ably give you about $4,000.
Obviously, if cash for the down
payment is a problem. an
FHA or VA loan is more de-.
sirable. In other ways, too.
Government-guaranteed loans
might be advantageous.
One advantage of the con-
ventional loan is that 1t does
not preclude, as the CT loan.
