Analysis of a borrower's ability to pay is considersd equally as importani as the valuation of a property in the insurance of mortgages under the Pederal Housing Administration's ine syred mortgage system, according to Deputy @dministrator Willlam D. Flanders. In the making of mortgage loans, ‘Flanders stated, as well a8 in grant- ing Government insurance on such instruments, appraisal of the real estate security is not enough to de- termine fully the risk involved. “It is an indisputable fact,” he said, “that an individual, not a prop- erty, signs the bond and mortgage, and that the loan is actually made to a person or corporation. Too fre- quently, under the old mortgage sys- tem, the fact that an application was made and the appraisal justi- fled the amount of the loan, were taken as oonclusive proof of abllity to pay. “In rating the real value of a mort- gage loan, the Housing Administra- tion takes into consideration, not only the appraised value of the property, but also the appraisal of the bor- rower, as he is the one to whom the lender must look for repayment.” Under the system used by the Housing Administration in examining the eligibility of a mortgage for in- surance, Flanders pointed out, & mort- gage-risk examiner makes an analysis of the borrower’s credit that is sepa- rate and distinct from the appraisal of the real estate. Questions which are decided in this process include the following: Wil the borrower be able to meet the pay- ments? What is his attitude toward the obligation? What are his pros- pects for the future? Is he engaged in a stable line of business? ““These conditions,” Flanders ex- plained, “are as important considera- tions as the location, condition and nas been opened between Vienna and | new type rubber valve saves time and ‘ market value of the property.

Astrologist Finds Real Estate Values Are Now on Rise “Real estate values have passed the bottom of their cycle,” says the editor of “Wynn's Astrology Magasine,” writing in the Au- gust issue, “and will continue to produce a steadlly advancing curve until June, 1944. The the- oretical bottom of the real estate market was February, 1935, but those lows cennot again be teuched until after 1952.” Wynn states that this period 1§ to be exactly the same as the cy- cle of the moon's node, & rela- tionship between the orbit of thd moon and that of the earth around the sun, which requires approximately 18 years and 8 months to complete. “We follow the moon's node as if we were handcuffed to it,” says Wynn, “in everything having to do with real estate.” BASEMENTS PROVIDE ATTRACTIVE LIVING Installation of Automatic Heating Systems Makes Useful Quarters in Winter.
