PLAN No. 731. REAL ESTATE MAN BUYS SNAP
This man was engaged in real estate for years and stated that his best profit was made from special propositions that he discovered during the year.
Probably during the year he would find five or six different places that were exceptional purchases. He put but very little money in these investments as a rule, and would prepare them for early sale. He would paint the dwellings, arrange the yards, and put in trees, if needed, and if it was a farm he would wholly renovate the farm from one end to the other, painting the buildings and re-arranging the entire place. Some times it would take a year to get the farm into shape. He states that by this method, he earned as high as $2,000 to $3,000 a year.
His wife has been a very valuable assistant to him in this work, as she arranges the shrubbery and the general decoration of the house and yard for him.
