Can you please tell me where I can interview homeowners, will they agree if its for school purpose?
Thank you!
You'd have to walk a neighborhood, I guess ... but that's not always a safe thing to do.
Another idea might be to go to a bank branch and ask one of the officers if they can help you find homeowners to interview. You'd have to provide lots of details, no doubt, and I'm still not sure this would work.
There's also the telephone...
I suggest you find a subdivision in a safe area of town and visit the front office(most developments have one). Ask to talk to the president of the Homeowner's Association (HOA), preferably in person, but over the phone would work too. If he/she agrees to meet with you, present your idea to them and ask them if they would object to you conducting your survey in that area. Be sure to mention that it is for school. To be on the safe side, I would suggest taking an adult or trusted friend with you. You could even ask the preseident of the HOA to accompany you. Do Not Go Alone. Most people are perfectly nice, I'm sure, but creeps have to live somewhere to.
If you are looking to interview homeowners for a school project, you have a few options to consider:
1. Friends and family: Start by asking friends, neighbors, or family members if they would be willing to participate in your interview. Since you have a personal connection with them, they may be more likely to agree.
2. Online platforms: Websites like Nextdoor, Facebook groups, or local community forums can be useful for finding homeowners who may be willing to participate in your interview. You can post a message explaining your school project and asking if anyone would be interested in sharing their experiences.
3. Local community organizations: Contact local community or homeowner associations, senior centers, or clubs related to housing, as they might be able to connect you with homeowners who would be willing to participate.
When approaching homeowners, it's essential to be polite, respectful, and transparent about the purpose of your interview. Clearly explain that it is for a school project and provide details about the nature of the questions you will be asking.
Remember, not all homeowners may be comfortable participating, and it is crucial to respect their decision if they decline. It's always a good idea to have a backup plan in case you are unable to find homeowners who are willing to be interviewed.
