M. C. A. Real Estate Class. How two men may be brought to' 2 bargain more readily through a' third person—the real estate broker | —than by negotiating directly be- | tween themselves, was told by Ed- mund D. Rheem of the firm of Swart- zell, Rheom & Hensey, in di real estate loans before the Y. M. C.! A. class in real estate at the session this week. Some of the difficulties met with by apartment house owners were re- lated by John F. M. Bowie, in lec- turing on apartment houses and dwellings. Mr. Rheem pointed out that the brokdr serves to smooth over differ- ences between propective contracting parties by meeting each half- trying to cep the borrower to a conservative loan, and, at the same time, using influence to exact a liberal 1 from the lende From this function, d Mr. Rheem, “the broker gradually grew into the business of looking after the | legal details, seeing that the titles are good, preparing papers and re- | lievilng each customer of the tech- nical dificulties with which he is generally little familiar. And here I would like to emphasize the point} that both the borrower and lender are the broker's clients, he is serv ing each to the best of his abilit and each is necessary for the ears ing of his commission. All too often, | the unwise broker makes the bor- rower feel that the obligation of finding the investor is an arduous one, so attempts to place his pro: ive client under great obliga- { i i VACANT We shall be glad to furnish all particulars and arrange for inspection. Problems facing apartment house owners, including that of admitting families with children, were explained to members of the class by John F. M. Bowie “We hear a good deal dren in apartment houses,” he said, “and, of course, we, as agents, must follow the directions of the owner: But, on the whole, the children are not bad. The restrictions against chil- dren can, in most c: be traced to some unfortunate incident that the bout chil- 16th family with children. one hardly knows the the house, because they are der proper control by the parents. In the other cases, I believe the parents are to blame becamse they do not have their children under subjection.” In speaking of the most important person around a small apartment house, Mr. Bowie maintained that it was the janitor. “I find that the mar- ried, settled man is about the b type you can get.” he said, “and they | can not only become very helpful and useful, but in the course of a year they can save the owner a great deal of money by being on the job.” The subject of leases was discussed at some length, and Mr. Bowie showed that by allowing a breach of con- tract, and then accepting rent, the owner cannot oust the tenant because of that particular violation of the lease. “If a tenant sublets his place, even though you have a provision prohibit- ing it, and it comes to your knowl- edge, and you accept rent thereafter, you are stopped from ousting that tenant on account of subletting. The same is true if a tenant brings a dog into an apartment and you allow it to remain. If you accept rent you are thereafter stopped from ousting that tenant because he has violated a pro- vision of the lease regarding dogs.” —_— PINE SUIT BY U. S.
