Overview:
For this project, you will choose a house currently for sale on the market (your chance
to dream big!) and develop two different financing strategies to finance your new home.
Each strategy includes a down payment, the interest rate, and the term of the mortgage.
You will analyze and compare both financing strategies and choose the one you would
prefer.
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to understand a variety of
financing options, develop amortization schedules, and then use subjective and
objective criteria to analyze the short-term and long-term pros and cons to justify a
decision.
