them. Your lender will be able
to help you figure out how much
to allow for these costs. It
might also be y good idea to
check with other home owners
with similar houses in the area.
Maintenance Remember that
to keep your house in good shape
you viii have to spend some
thing for maintenance and re-
pairs. You may have to paint
your home every few years. Your
heating and electrical system will
need repairs from time to time,
you. will have to replace equip
ment, and so on.
If you are buying a well-built
new home. these expenses should
not be too large during the first
2 or 3 years. but will rise as your
property gets older.
Other Debts--1f you already
have other debts. such as furni-
ture or automobile payments. or
If you will have to bury things
for your home on an installament
plan, be sure you can afford to
meet such payments in addition
to the other costs discussed
above.
Some home buyers run into
serious trouble because they buy
too many things for their new
home on the installment plan.
Don't let yourself be high-pres-
Isured into buying extras or ex-
pensive special equipment unless
you can pay for them without
straining your ability to pay for
your other housing and living
expenses.
Before deciding to buy a house,
get out your pencil and figure
carefully what your total month";
Ily costs viii be.
There Is no fixed rule which
can determine how much an in
dividual family can pay for total
monthly housing expenses. How
ever, 1t is usually considered de-
Isirable that the total estimated
monthly housing expense should
not be substantially higher than
your weekly take-home pay,
Thus. II your weekly take-home
pay Is $50. the total monthly
housing expenses (including all
the expenses discussed above)
should not usually be much more
than $50.
1t is a problem for each in
dividual family to work out for
itself. The main thing is to make
sure that the monthly costs Of
Evening star., 1955-09-17

that these are just some Of the
things that a prospective home
owner should be careful about
in signing his sales contract.
Legal documents are often COM
plicated things and there Is no
substitute for competent advice
from somebody you can trust
who knows about such things.
Further information for pros
pective home owners has been
published in pamphlet entitled,
ITO the me-Buying Veteran, "
which veterans may obtain by
writing to the Veterans Admins
tration, Washington, D. c.
AS a final word Of caution. re-
member that the old legal doc
trine of "caveat emptor" Clet the
purchaser beware) still applies
to most aspects Of home pur-
chase. So be sure that the house
and neighborhood are right, that
you deal with responsible people.
and that you get expert advice
on doubtful points before you
buy,
Evening star., 1955-09-17

your home won't strain your
budget unduly.
Another good check Is to COM
pare the total housing expenses
you win have to pay with what
you are now paying for rent or
for the house you now own. II
buying O new home viii increase
the monthly expense above what
you are now paying, be doubly
certain that you can pay the
increased costs without too
much strain.
II you are not sure you can
handle the costs involved. in the
light Of your present and an
ticipated earnings, you should
defer a home purchase until
you are confident you can carry
the total monthly cost. or else
buy less expensive home which
you can afford.
Contract Of Purchase
When you have decided to
buy, the builder or seller will
usually require o cash deposit
as evidence that you really in
tend to 60 through with the deal.
Make sure when you make such
o deposit that you get a signed
agreement from the seller pro-
viding for a refund Of your de-
posit II you are unable to obtain
the type Of financing desired, or
II the builder or seller fails to 60
through with his part Of the
agreement.
The seller will also expect you
to sign q document when you
have decided to buy. usually a
sales contract. The sales contract
lis a written agreement by which
the seller agrees to sell to you.
and you agree to purchase the
property.
| A proper sales contract should
specify the sales price. the
amount Of cash payment, the
method Of financing, the date
the property will be delivered,
and many other details. Bear In
mind also that the sales contract
lis an important legal document.
Make sure you understand ev-
erything in the contract before
you sign.
The best way to protect your
Evening star., 1955-09-17

self Is to get competent advice
from a lawyer or someone who
understands legal details and the
requirements in your area.
If the house Is not completed,
the contract should provide that
the builder will complete the
home in accordance with def
mite plans and specifications,
which will describe the type of
house that will be built. the di-
mensiops, the type of materials
which win be used, and other
details.
Before you sign the contract,
you would do well to have some
trained person review these plans
and specifications for you to be
sure you'll get q well-built home.
Ordinarily you should not sign
any contract containing a So
called safety" or escape" clause
which would enable the builder
or seller to back out Of the con-
tract any time he wants to un-
less you also have similar rights.
It should be emphasized again

If you are buying an "old

extremely important for you te
make sure the house Is struc-
turally sound.
Can You Afford It?
One Of the common errors
made by people planning to buy
a house is to think that the only
cost will be a small down pay
Iment plus monthly payments Of
principal and interest on the
mortgage. It is important to
keep in mind that there are other
items which have to be paid that
add up to a substantial outlay.
You will have to pay for q
number Of items commonly called
closing costs" These costs
which can be substantial, viii
have to be paid in cash at the
time the loan is made. They In
Iclude. for example, an appraisal
fee, cost Of title search or title
insurance (to be sure that youl
ownership will be "free anc
clear" except for the new mort
gage, and a fee for recording
your mortgage at the local rec
orders Office.
You also will have to pay fol
insurance to protect the propert,

such as windstorms. You may
also have to pay part of the

ment and closing costs, dom

you will have for moving anc
for furnishings and equipment
/ at the time you move into YOU

The down payment and clos.
ing costs are payments you have
to make when your loan is made
But they are only the initia
costs. You also must be able t,
pay the future costs from YOU
income, as follows:
Mortgage Payments-The reg.
ular monthly payments to cover
interest and principal on the
mortgage. This is the biggest
item Of monthly expense but II
is by no means the only one.
Taxes and Insurance-UsuallS
an amount to cover future real
estate taxes and hazard insur.
ance will be added to the month
ly payment you make to the
lender. OF course your monthly
payment may later have to be
adjusted If real estate taxes OF
insurance costs should change
but such changes often woulc
not amount to more than q few
dollars q month. .
Heat and Utilities - Be sure
to allow for paying the heating
and utility bills. The amount oi
your fuel bill will vary. depend
ing upon the climate, how well
the house is insulated, etc. Util-
Iity bills for electricity, water
gas, and the like will likewise

Assistant Deputy Administrator loan
The best advice ! can give
veterans who are planning Il
buy homes under the CT loar
program is not to buy hastily
It comes from our experience
with the 4 million veterans who
already have bought homes with
the aid Of such loans guaranteed
by Veterans Administration.
Since the great majority oi
these veterans are satisfied home
owners, am sure they will want
me further TO advise you that
buying q home viii be the most
important transaction In the
lifetime Of your family.
So, before you make a final
decision. be sure you are getting
the right house and that you are
familiar with the responsibilities
Of home ownership.
Don't hesitate to seek expert
advice-legal and technical. II
will pay in the end. Then, when
you're sure the price is right
the house is right, and you know
what the full cost and response
bilities are, you are on the right
track.
Here are some of the things
to look for in buying your dream
home:
NeighbOrhood, Lot, and House
If you want to be satisfied
with your new house. be sure il
is located in a suitable neigh
borhood. Check the location oi
schools, churches, shopping
facilities and transportation, tc
be sure that they will meet YOU
family's needs.
The neighborhood should be
well maintained and the sur
rounding houses should gen.
orally be similar in type ano
price range to the one you wish
to buy. There should be local
coming laws or restrictions which
will protect the neighborhood
from undesirable commercial
uses, and the like. Restrictions
as to lot sizes and the types OF
houses that can be built will also
help protect your investment.
You'll also want to inquire
about police and fire protection
and other community services
Adequate water supply and sew.
age disposal facilities-whethei
individually or com m u n ity.
owned-are also a must.
In addition to the general 10.
cation and the neighborhood
you should make sure you are
going to be satisfied with the size
shape and drainage of your lot
with the lawn. shrubbery. walks
driveway. garage, etc. If any
additional work on the lot is to
be done, make sure that the pur-
chase agreement covers all such
improvements which the builder
will make as part Of the pur.
chase price.
If you buy a house with a Gl
loan, the Veterans Administra.
ton will make an appraisal o1
the property to be sure that the
price you pay is not higher thar
the VA reasonable value. The
VA appraisal thus gives you pro.
lection against paying an unrea.
sonable price.
