' Paying For Home 'Just Like Rent' Costliest Plan By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK Wl The easier the mortgage payments are on your current budget the more money you'U have to put out be fore you finally get full title to your home. Lending agencies are starting to stress that paying for a home "just like rent" costs more in in terest payments over the years. One a $10,000 loan a veteran can save himself more than $3,000 by taking out a 20-year mortgage in stead of a 30-year one the North western National Life Insurance Co. of Minneapolis notes. OR, put another way, on each $1,000 down payment you can manage to put up, you can save over $800 in interest payments on a 30-year program, or more than $500 in interest payments on a 20 year schedule. Many families who'd like a home of their own, or a larger house for a growing brood, are discus sing today how best to finance it. The problem: they can save in terest payments in the long run by taking the 20-year payment plan instead of the 30-year one but their monthly payments in the meantime will be about $12.50 higher. And they may want to use that $12.50 toward payments on the refrigerator or stove. Committing themselves to buy ing a house "just like rent" may be the only way they can afford one on their present income. So they decide to run the risk of their WILDLIFE MISTAKE DALLAS Wl About six weeks ago Mrs. Margie Lyons found a shivering, soaking - wet puppy on the street. She took it home, gave it the best of food and medicine, and watched happily as her new pet tried to make friends with her tiny Chihuahua. This week Mrs. Lyons took her two dogs to a veterinarian foi their rabies vaccinations. It was then she learned her new pet is a wild coyote, not a dog. income dropping in the future and thus making payments a burden, or of their moving to another city and leaving behind a house In which their equity may be tiny. "Easy Payment" Popular The insurance company notes that under a 20-year payment plan on a $10,000 deal, all borrowed, they would in 10 years have piad off alwut $3,900 in principal. It says that under a 30-year sched ule, their payments on principal in the first 10 years would be about $2,000. The easy payment plans grow in popularity, however. The Vet erans Administration reports that 43 per cent of the GI plan loans now being made are the no-down-payment type. And the percentage of the longer maturities has dou bled in the last two years. The total of mortgage debt out standing mounts as the housing boom continues most places un checked. Since the end of the war the amount has increased four fold and crossed the 75 billion dol lar mark as 1955 started. e r f-.'m ft r -vj i r 1 iit - - 11 I If- I- NEA T.l.phot.
