It may be easier for students to work in small groups to
make a list of the questions they want to ask the owner
about a house they are planning to see.
A note on using the Internet as a resource
Teachers who have access to the Internet will find a wealth
of information that may help with lesson planning. For example,
to find the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) home page, type in www.hud.gov. You’ll see information
on buying a HUD-financed home and can download brochures
on-line about many topics. The Consumer
Information Center also has government documents related
to housing.
Go here for a guide for
first-time home buyers. You can order a guide in several
languages by accessing the Fannie
Mae Foundation’s Website. Increasingly, many real
estate sales professionals are offering local home listings
on the World Wide Web, particularly through the
Realtor website.
