Real Estate Investing
(Get Rich Quick?)
You've probably seen the dozens of books and seminars with variations on
the title How To Make A Million Dollars In Real Estate. Could you really get
rich quick by investing in real estate? Investing in real estate takes knowledge,
time, energy - and a bit of luck. If you have those things and some perseverance,
investing in real estate won't make you rich quick, but as one writer said, it
might make you rich slowly.
Investing in residential rental property is probably the most attractive real*
. estate investment for individuals. Your return will include the rents you receive,
the tax writeoffs you get, and any appreciation in the property over a period
of time.
If you decide to buy rental property for an investment, here are some
suggestions:
1. Buy property where you live rather than in some other part of the coun
try. You can manage your property more easily and will probably have a bet
ter feel for property values.
2. Look for a bargain. Find a piece of property that needs only cosmetic repair
to appreciate in value. Don't buy property needing major repairs such as new
wiring, plumbing, or structural renovating.
3. Select property where the rents will cover the mortgage payments, taxes,
insurance and other costs. You don't need a tax writeoff that drains cash out
of your pocket, no matter what your tax bracket.
4. Invest only if you have the financial resources to stay with the investment
if there is a downturn. If real estate values decline temporarily or if you have
a series of vacancies, you should be able to stay with the investment until the
situation improves.
5. Sell at the right time. Experience and perhaps a little professional
assistance will help you decide when to sell. Take your profits and reinvest
ti\g»in an even larger piece aUental.propecty.

In preparation for the second
Chowan County 4-H Flower Grow
ing Contest, forty-one 4-Hers and
leaders toured Paradise Gardens
and Green Leaf Farm on April 23.
At Paradise Gardens we saw
trees, shrubs, bedding plants,
vegetable plants, and hanging
baskets.
We had a real nice and
knowledgeable, as well as attrac
tive, young guide, Casey Bass.
She showed a wide understanding
of the large operation and was pa
tient in answering questions.
These good things qualified her to
be labeled as a good guide.
At Paradise Gardens, Murray
Goodwin, 4-H coordinator,
discussed the 1985 flower growing
contest. He gave the rules and
regulations of the contest which
state you cannot have more than
24 flowers to start with, the
flowers must be grown where
4-Her lives, and you must be a
4-Her. This is easy since nearly all
clubs would be delighted to have
new members.
Suggestions for growing flowers
were passed out and discussed.
The only change from last year’s
From The Veterans Administration
(Editor’s Note: Following are
representative questions answered
daily by VA Counselors. Full infor
mation is available at any VA office.)
y — May a veteran who
receives a monthly check for
service-connected disabilities be
granted an additional allowance
for dependents?
A — Veterans whose service
connected disabilities are rated at
30% or more are entitled to an ad
ditional allowance for dependents.
Q — I attend college under the
GI Bill. I am married, but
separated from my wife. Can she
get part of my educational
assistance allowance without my
consent?
A — Yes,if your wife can prove
that you are not providing for your
family sfagcan request the portion
paid you for your dependents and
you will receive the rate of a
single veteran.
Q — What are the eligibility re
quirements for the Veterans Ad
ministration Vocational
Rehabilitation and Counseling
program?
A — A veteran must have serv
ed during World War II or
thereafter, be entitled to receive
compensation for a sevice
connnected disability and have
been discharged, released or
retired from service under other
than dishonorable conditions. In
addition, the VA must determine
that the veteran is in need of voca
tional rehabilitation to overcome
an employment handicap caused
by the service-connected disabili
ty and that the veteran’s period of
eligibility has not expired.

sheet was about lime and fer
tilizer. It was just made a little
simpler. When we get the names
of participating 4-Hers we will
send a copy of project book.
When we arrived at Greenleaf
Farm the day was getting short
and Tony Leary and his cohorts
were loading a large van. They
were busy but Tony broke away
and showed us part of their large
operation. Tony said that they are
mainly a wholesale business but
do sell to the local people. He gave
each 4-Her four flowers to plant at
home.
At the time of the announce
ment of the flower growing win
ners we will have a special event
(cookout or banquet). The follow
ing business organizations have
agreed to be a sponsor for this
event. Leary Plant Farm,
Paradise Gardens, Green Leaf
Farm, Virginia Fork Produce,
and Valhalla Produce.
United Piece and Dye Works
will again sponsor the prizes for
the contest.
Talent Show May 21
The annual 4-H Talent Show will
be held on May 21, 7:45 p.m., at
the Rocky Hock Community
Center. This is a change in date
from that given in the April 4-H
Newsletter and resulted because
of a conflict in scheduling the
building.
The admission charge will be
$.50 for adults and $.25 for school
age boys and girls.
There will be all kinds of
talent—vocal and instrumental
solos, duets and large groups. We
always have dance numbers and
most time we have gymnastic
numbers and sometimes we have
a recitasion or two.
In any case, it shapes up to be
a night of real entertainment.
Everyone is invited to attend.
Come out and support our young
people as they perform.
