Home Owners Get A Million In Mortgages
Home Owners' Corporation mortgages totaling about 1,000,000 have been executed in the Western Maryland District, announced by Attorney Joseph TD Mish. The district covers Washington, Frederick, Allegany and Garrett counties. About 270,000 is in this county with 140 titles searched and several loan applications awaiting approval. Despite interest rate cuts on mortgage bonds to five percent, few holders accept bonds, though they are government guaranteed. Local agents report requests for small loans of 19 to 325 for tax payments, but Mish warns many small sums incur higher costs through title searches, papers, and recording fees, which borrowers would ultimately pay.
