mstlen only, i
Is there anything about my proposition that you
do not nnderetandf
In setting forth the venous propositions concern
ing building homes at Log Oebin Heights, nnd selling
them on small monthly payments, I am seeking to bo
explicit. I am putting each of these various proposi
tions in figures, so that the eye will re»dily comprehend
nt it glance just wbat tho proposition is.
Below I am showing on what terms n $2,000 home
may be bought—you can pay down so little as $250
Cash. Of course you can pay down any amount (you
want to above that. For instance, if yon make a cash
payment of $400, the amount you pay each month will
be $23.50; $500 cash and $21.50 monthly; $600 cash and
$20 monthly. -
In the examples that follow you will note the lino
which says, “Less mortgage of $500.” This refers to
a $500 mortgage which wo put on the property, and
which you oRn renew after five years.
In other words, if yonr home costs $2,000, and yon
pay $250 down, that leaves a balance of $1,750. We then
put a mortgage on it for $500 which you do not have to
rcpny.in fivo years. This, therefore, leaves a balance
to bo repaid in five years of $1,250.
Now if you get out your pencil and paper right hero,
you will sco tho interest on $1,750 nt 3 per cent for fivo
years is $262.50. Add this to the balance owed on tho
house, of $1,250, and you hnve $1,512.50. Divide $1,-
512.50 by 60 and you will find how much for the five
years you would have to pay each month—the answer
is $25.20.
As I don’t charge you 3 per cent for the full length
of time, you pay only $25 a month. Therefore, remember
this, $25 a month inoludes intercut—this is true whether
you pay $25 monthly or $23.50 or $21.60 or $20 as shown
below. ‘
