Rules when buying property in
another state:
<1) Be sure you see the proper-
ty before buying. Do not buy from
a blueprint, “sight unseen." (2)
Try not to be the earliest buyers
on a new subdivision, but wait
and see what kind of people your
neighbors would be. (3) Buy raw
land only, for cash - then go to
a local bank to get help in build-
ing a house. (4) Otherwise, buy or
rent a trailer and rent a lot for
your trailer with an option to buy
later on if you wish.
Many young people - after they
have learned a trade — are anx-
ious to go into business for them-
selves, but fear the competition
which the big corporations could
give them. I forecast that the mo-
bile small factory will be a great
help to such young people.
This means that a couple could
buy a bakery, a candy shop, or
a stocking factory, all equipped
with the latest machinery and
ready to operate. They could bring
