Research paper concerning a focused real estate topic or study. Topic should not be an analysis or summary on items discussed in class, but rather a particular real estate topic or problem. A few examples would include the following:
Eminent Domain (can use law cases)
Valuing waterfront real estate vs. water-access real estate
Valuation of golf courses
Effects of environmental contamination on real estate
Difficulties of land development from new restrictive laws
You may select research sources from the Internet, real estate/business journals and periodicals available in the library, etc. The more information you have to support your research topic, the stronger the paper you will produce. Your assignment should be two to three typed pages, and may include necessary pictures and graphs. Sources must be referenced in your paper. Grading will be based on accuracy of your analysis, relativity of topic, sufficiency of information to support your topic, and use of bibliographic sources.
