How To Make Money
In REAL ESTATE
How the man of small means can make his money double or treble by
wisely investing in real estate in his own neighborhood or city, without
taking wild chances. A simple, sound explanation of every phase of
real estate opportunities-and warnings against foolish investments.
ECENTLY a man bought a store in a thriving
town near New York, paying $2,000 on sign-
ing the contract. Three months later he sold
the store at a profit of $3,000 cash.
Last July a man purchased an old residence
on a business street. He spent $1,500 in putting a store
front on the property, and before the work was com-
pleted sold the building at a profit of $4,000.
A few months ago several men formed a syndicate,
each putting up a few hundred dollars. Property was
purchased and sold, the profits reinvested, and today each
member of the syndicate has earned a profit of 800% on
his investment.
In March, 1925, a woman was urged to invest several
thousand dollars in some vacant property along the line
of the city's growth. In September she sold at a profit of
$10,000.
Wherever you go-in every city, town and hamlet,
you will find that fortunes have been made in real estate,
by people in every walk of life!
Within your own experience you probably know in-
stances of someone having made handsome sums on real
estate transactions.
And, aside from the attractive feature of increasing val-
uation, enormous income returns are made on sound real
estate, sometimes as high as 30% per year on the money
invested!
No matter who you are, or how little money you may
have, you too can make money in real estate, either by
investing in property that will pay you 15% or more on
your investment, or by investing in property for resale at a
higher price than you paid.
Of course money is lost in real estate too-just as
money is lost in other investments. Real estate cannot
and should not be bought "blindly." There are many
things to consider, depending on your circumstances.
There is no need, in this great, growing, prosperous
country, for anyone to take wild chances on real estate.
But you must know what to buy and what NOT to buy.
Realizing that thousands of people are intensely inter-
ested in the profits to be made in real estate, a group of
successful real estate investors and professional real estate
specialists, have prepared a series of simple lessons which
anyone can understand and apply. These lessons, in
book form, cover the subject from the very beginning,
leaving nothing to the imagination, taking nothing for
granted. This book, called "Making Money in Real
Estate," tells about the two forms of buying-for invest-
ment, or for speculation-and explains in detail the
various types of property which should be considered
under each division.
There are chapters on Vacant Property, and Improved
Property. The Science and Psychology of Sites is ex-
plained. Stores, Homes, Factories, Apartment Houses,
Garages, Gas Stations, their locations, operation, advan-
tages and disadvantages, are discussed. How to judge
the value of property and buildings is made clear.
There are complete and comprehensive chapters on
How Much Cash to Offer in Proportion to the Total
Price; What Kind of Mortgages are Good, and Bad;
The Facts about Interest and Amortization. Simple Real
Estate Law is explained, including what is involved in
Contracts, Titles, Mortgages, Deeds, Rents, etc.
There is a complete section devoted to Selling Real
Estate which is worth many, many times the entire cost of
the book.
This new book is not only for those seeking profitable
investments in real estate, but for those who now own
property. It will help you determine whether or not to
sell what you now own, even at a loss, in order to invest
in something more substantial, more promising. It will
show you how to make up for any mistakes you may
have made in the past. It is also for the man who is
thinking of buying a home, for it tells what to avoid, as
well as what to buy and may be the means of saving you
from making a serious mistake.
There has never before been a book so complete, so
easily understood, so thorough in its handling of each
subject. It is a guide to profits-a safeguard against
losses.
