Act Today Not Tomorrow The Well Meaning F riend A good friend Is one of the greatest helps and comforts tn life, but did It ever occur to you that a friend can do you the greatest Injustice? When you are considering the purchase ot a home or investment, ft is human nature to ask the advice of a friend. The well meaning friend seems to think It is his sworn duty to advise against buying, regardless of the price, terms or location. Advice from a competent authority is a wonderful thing, but It is very ridicu lous when given by some uninformed person. When you jfnh the opinion of a friend in a real estate transaction, ask yourself these questions; 1 Does my friend own more than one piece of real estate himself? 2 Has be had enough real estate experience to be able to give a fair and careful opinion? ft Does he look at this property with the same viewpoint that I do? 4 Are his circumstances exactly the same as mine? If the friend can qualify under the above description, his adrice-will be very valuable. If he doesn't quality, his advice is unfair and worthless. Remember YOU are the one who is buying the property and YOU are the one to make the decision.
