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. - HI CPA, P.A. Ollln B.

I 4-Hers Tour Paradise Gardens: Talent Show May 21 Rev. Garry Mickey Revival Services Spring revival services begin at Albemarle Baptist Mission on Sunday, May 12, continuing through Friday, May 17. Services will begin each evening at 7:30 p.m. Rev. Garry Mickey, pastor of the Mission, will be preaching. Special music will be presented each night led by Jim Hyatt. A nursery will be provided. by Murray L. Goodwin Agricultural Extension Agent ( howan County 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.

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. United Piece Dye Announcement Ernest S. Knighton, president.
