In recent months there has been a country-wide wave of real estate speculation. It is not my purpose to pass upon the merits of this specula- tion fn any particular locality. Doubt- less in some instances the spectacular advance in the market price of both residence and business properties has had a substantial foundatlon. It may be justified by the course of events or it may not. Rather it is now in order to remember that there fs peril in real estate specu- lation when it s conducted in the fashion now prevailing just as there is any danger in every other kind of speculation. In the first place there has been buying on the narrowest of margins { sometimes buying of options in the hope of selling them to some one else before it became necessary to exer- cise them. This is akin to the buying of-stocks on margin, which is some- times profitable and sometimes not, but always perilous. In the second place people have bought property in parts of the coun- try distant from their own home and which they have never seen. It ought to be self-evident that personal exami- nation must precede any conservative {nvestment in real estate. In the third place properties have been bought without any regard to thelr earning power. This applies chiefly to business properties. There is no excuse for either speculator or investor not taking into account how much the property in which he is in- terested will rent for and still allow the man who rents it to do business at | a profit whether he is selling drugs, | shoes, dry goods, cigars or running a restaurant. If the prospective buyer of real es- | tate will keep in mind these elemen- tary principles he will have less to regret when the excitement abates. (Copyright. 1925.) FISHER'S PRICE INDEX.
