Assignments Assignment 1: Understand your priorities Buying a home requires an investment not only of your hard-earned money, but of your valuable time and energy as well. You may be able to find a number of homes that look attractive at first glance, but below the surface there are a great number of issues that deserve careful consideration. If you don?t know how to critically evaluate potential homes, much of your time, effort, and money will go to waste. In Assignment 1, you will develop your ability to critically evaluate homes by:
  1. Comparing a few home listings
  2. Establishing your priorities
Assignment 2: Understand Your Finances Buying a home is the American dream come true, but it''s also a major long-term investment. Done right, home buying can dramatically increase your net worth and financial leverage. Done wrong, it can leave you struggling each month to pay your bills.

Finally you will determine which of the homes you''ve located offers the best deal for you. In this assignment you will:
  1. Choose neighborhoods
  2. Determine the best Investment
