On a $5,000 house the down payment would be $500 instead of $1,000 as at present. Carrying charges on the mortgage would be cut. Payments on @ $5,000 20-year mortgage would begin, for instance, at $34 a month instead of $37.14 as under the present FHA schedule. In addition, the total. monthly payment would be reduced more rapidly because the insurance fee, now a flat $2.08 a month on a $5,000 mortgage, would decline as the principal of the mortgage outstanding. Federal Housing Administration officials said it would be a simple matter for a person with $600 to build a $6,000 house.
