Part 1: For this portion of the project you will be working through different calculations associated with purchasing a home. You may check your final answers on any of these questions with your classmates in the associated Threaded Discussion in the Canvas course home. When you turn in Part 1 of the project you must show all work and set-up for each question in order to receive credit (since the answers will be in the threaded discussion as people post what they find). So please just verify your final solutions in the threaded discussions. Part 2: For this portion of the project you should write a formal report or article about an aspect of the home buying process. This article should be at least two typed pages and not more than 4. Topics that you may include in your paper (and must come from a referenced source) are: 1. What are the current trends for interest rates? Are they going up? Down? What type of loans provide the best interest rates? 2. Describe the history of home loan rates. 3. Is buying a home a good investment? 4. How does principal mortgage interest come into play? 5. Anything else related to the home buying process
