Create a case study assignment for students to experience buying or renting a home. Give them several home options for sale and several home options for rent and several scenarios where they have to choose the best home for that person's situation.

This resource focuses on helping students analyze and compare housing options to make informed decisions based on personal and financial scenarios. It outlines key factors influencing housing decisions, such as budget, lifestyle needs, and location preferences. Students will learn crucial financial terminology related to home buying and renting, including mortgage, down payment, rent, and property taxes. The document also delves into a comparison between renting and buying homes, providing examples of properties for sale and rental options. It encourages students to analyze different personas with varying financial situations and housing preferences, leading to a reflection and analysis section that promotes critical thinking about the implications of liquidity and the non-financial benefits of homeownership.
