BabsOn Discusses Real Estate AS An Investment

BABSON PARK, MASS, June
II Last week l wrote about
owning forest lands or pasture
lands. This would be in terms
of 100 acres, and presumably
not less than $50 acres.
Subdivision Buying
like to have my readers buy
real estate in general, such as
house lots, and to buy it near
the city in which this article APP
pears. Certainly one should not
buy house lots in some distant
state. or in fact anywhere, with
out seeing the property. l am
great believer in Florida land.
But l hate to see people buy
house lots in Florida from maps
which they are looking at hun
dreds of miles away. When I
am asked what is the best fer
tllizer for an orange grove,
reply, The footprints of t h e
owner" This applies also to
house lots, especially in subdi-
visions of some northern city.
Now let me give some simple
rules regarding the purchase Of
such house lots. They are based
on careful experience and ap-
ply whether you are specializing
or buying for the purpose of
settling on the land and some
day bringing up a family.
Every city has its best growth
in some one direction whether
to the north, west east, or
south. Often the direction is
toward the land highest in ele-
walton. This is especially true
if it is to the west facing the
sunsets. Remember, too, that
subdivisions which are near
tenement districts or railroad
tracks may not be as attrac-

made a mistake in buying land

What About Houses
l do not like houses as an in
vestment unless they are duplex
houses. where I can live in one
half and rent the other half. AS
an investment l like something
that does not need to be shingled
or painted, and that does not
have windows that break. Even
a new house depreciateS from
the very day it is completed;
but the land, if in a proper
nelghborhood, tally in

son for buying an extra lot ad-
Joining the one on which you
will live. Also buy the lot to the

When buying houses or land.
recognize that all land and all
houses are worth something. but
the price should be considered
according to the above sugges-
tons. 1t will always be possible
to build and buy new houses.
The price will depend upon sup
ply and demand, just as does
the price of mortgages. There
will sometimes be shortage of
houses, and often a surplus of
houses. There, however, will
never be any more land on this
globe. This is something to re-
