Each student should briefly explain why these 3 properties are the best choice for the client compared to other available properties (are they in the requested locality; have you suggested a unit, stand-alone villa, house, why/why not? Each student should choose and identify one of their three chosen properties as their preferred properties. Also provide background information on the 3 properties and why each was selected (Demography, infrastructure, location…..any features, price, location etc.) and provide final analysis and discussion on which one property they chose from their 3 properties.
