Where should I live?

There comes a time in everyone's life when they decide to move out of their parent's home and get a place of their own.  Some people move into apartments in the city, while others rent a home in the country.  Then there are the few that actually purchase their own home.  Any way you look at this time in your life is a scary experience and one that takes research, understanding and organization.  In this assignment, you will be researching several different options of renting a home or apartment:

1. Renting an apartment in a large city
2. Renting an apartment in a small city
3. Renting a house in a large city
4. Renting a house in a small city

It is your job to research real estate online and find (a) low range [cheapest you can find] and (b) mid range [the most you could afford with a good job at your age] rentals for each of the four options above.  Using Microsoft Word you will create a fact sheet on each of the above options listing:

• The location of the apartment/home
• A description of the property
• The price
• A photo and/or floor plan
• The Realtor
• Any applicable fees/dues associated with the property such as Association Fees or asking fees on the property.
• Are utilities included?
• What amenities are provided (i.e. swimming pool, laundry, clubhouse, etc.)
• Estimate the monthly rent based on the found information.

We will be working on these today and tomorrow.
