C-S8 REAL ESTATE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO REAL ESTATE —_— s Sy sAas A, oVt N0 Mool o SOolATE, PITFALL BARRER SEENINFH. A Families Can Avoid Snares Now, Administrator of Housing Says. By employing the insured mort- gage system in the purchase of a home the average family is able to avoid many of the common mistakes into which persons unfamiliar with the technicalities of mortgage trans- actions often fall, according to Stew- art McDonald, Federal housing ad- ministrator. Only families with ample means can afford to experiment with forms of home financing which have been outmoded by recent developments in mortgage lending practice, McDonald said. The insured mortgage system of the Federal Housing Administration provides families of nioderate and fixed incomes with a safer and more convenient method of purchasing a home. The additional safeguards in- herent in the plan make it partic- ularly well adapted to use by this large group of families. Basis Must Be Sound. “Home ownership can be one of the | safest, soundest and most satisfactory forms of investment for the average family, if it is undertaken on a sound, business basis,” the administrator said. “Under other conditions, however, it may be a hazardous experiment. “The purchase of a home is not only the largest but also the most involved transaction undertaken by the aver- age family. Few persons have the technical, specialized knowledge nec- essary for the completion of such a transaction. Few people know the difference between a well-built and | a shoddy house; the evaluation of the character of a neighborhood is a -technical problem, and every type of ' mortgage has its own particular ad- vantages and disadvantages, none of which is evident to the layman. “In the past, only those who coul’ afford the fees necessary to employ mortgage and building experts could be sure of avoiding the many pit- | falls inherent in the purchase of a home. The majority of families “paid their money and took a chance,” hop- ing that they had measured the situ- ation properly. Technicians May Be Had. “Now. under the Federal Housing | Administration insured mortgage sy tem, the average family is able to ob- | tain the services of technically trained | U appraisers and architects. | & valuators, When ¢ mortgage is submitted for insurance, the staff of the administr tion’s local office examines the proj erty, the neighborhood, the mortgag transaction with the greatest care. |C Many of the common mistakes in Pprevious mortgage transactions are thus obviated.” McDonald pointed out that the terms under which home buyers can obtain mortgage money are also favor- able. The stabilized interest rate and | the absence of renewal fees make the amortized, insured mortgage one of | the safest methods of investing in a | house for the average family.

In former years extra nooks and odd corners, unsightly and unfinished at- tics, and dust-collecting niches were frequently & part of & new home plan with no thought of the waste involved. Years of experience have shown the folly of this type of building. Odd corners, unnecessary space under staircases, meaningless nooks .and crannies are natural collectors of dust and dirt and also constitute an ever- present fire menace. To the house- wife the poorly planned home presents a constant house-cleaning headache because of the difficulty of maintain- ing cleanliness under such conditions. This is one of the neatest little homes ever offered in this quiet residential community. Construction is brick, with slate roof, furred walls, well insulated, screens and weather strips. There are six nice rooms, beautiful tiled bath with shower, modern gas-equipped kitchen, automatic heat, side porch over built-in garage, The lot is 50x150 feet and nicely landscaped.
