{"product_id":"real-estate-mogul-9781477141120","title":"Real Estate Mogul","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen I got out of the service at age 21 ,I decided I was going to make my fortune in Real Estate , so I purchased with my discharge pay a large house with 7 bedrooms and two bathrooms and made my fi rst rooming house. I converted the porch and the Dining room into 2 more bedrooms, making a total of 9 bedrooms which I rented out in whose days for $50.00 a week each.I didnt give anyone use of the kitchen and I didnt allow anyone to have company, you just went directly to your room and basically went to sleep andthat was it. I allowed no food in rooms or any loud noise after 10 PM. It wasa great place if you had a job and you were making minimum wage. My mortgage payment was $250.00 a month , my electric bill was $165.00,My gas bill averaged 150 a month year around and because I had a well andseptic tank , even getting them pumped out and serviced a couple times ayear, only cost me an average of $35.00 a month. My Insurance ran me only$50.00 a month, about $25.00 a month for maintenance, so the expenseswere $ 670.00 per month. My Income was $1330.00 a month on my first property net. There I was back in the late 1950s making over $17,000 a year ,not working for anybody. It was very important to get a lot of information about your tenants such as next of kin, Mother and fathers name and address, social security #,Employers Name, Landlord history, last job ect. I alwayshad an application ready for them to full out. That way if they do any damage to your property you can chase them down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53036464570647,"sku":null,"price":538.56,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781477141120.jpg?v=1781010445","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/real-estate-mogul-9781477141120","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
