RELU 2700 REAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP: OVERCOMING BARRIERS (3 credits)
Real estate is ubiquitous and the ownership of property - and accompanying property rights - have shaped US history and enabled millions to build wealth. At the same time, property ownership has eluded many, especially those from underrepresented groups. This class will expose students to historical and current barriers to property ownership, assess efforts to address these disparities, explore remedies, and give students the practical tools they'll need to plan for, and eventually acquire, their first home or other real estate.
