Enjoyed Class on Real Estate and Budgeting by Alphonso Smith

This week, Management of Information Systems has been very informative. On Monday February 20th, 2012, Dr. Sistrunk talked about the importance of real estate. I never understood why people invested so much into real estate until I learned how efficient the market really is. A lot of things are being displayed on the web and real estate is no different. Dr. Sistrunk introduced a website, www.netronline.com that gives consumers an opportunity to look at a house, condo, or apartment that they are considering. I thought that the website was interesting because it shows how much access the consumer truly has to the real estate market. This website shows the exact expenses, the owner (if any), and gives a description of the residence.
            I enjoyed the real estate topic but I am also enjoying a lot more about the Management of Information Systems course. The discussion that I felt was just as beneficial as real estate was budgeting. The assignment last week on creating a budget made me realize the expenses I will encounter after graduation. I have a budgeting plan now but I am going to have to strengthen my budget in the future so I can have money left over. I am currently learning a lot and look forward to further increase my knowledge in the digital world and future preparation.

  1. Budgeting is something I wish I had learned more about sooner! I'm taking the time myself to improve on saving and eliminate certain expenses before I enter the career world with too many bad habits. GOOD READ.

  2. This was a good class to me. I always thought real estate was a good investment. Land and property has always caught my interest. In the future i actually seek to invest in property.It is amazing the things out there to research these different resources to utilize can be greatly beneficial for your average person. This course it starting to make me realize you don't have to be genius to become rich. Utilizing your resources and making the right decisions can certainly ensure you a successful future.
