Unreal Estate Game: Wisconsin
Assume that you idly buy a state lottery ticket while getting a doughnut at 7/11, and voila! You're a winner! You win your choice of one the five houses that will be shown.
I'll give you five houses in a state, and you vote on the house you would take. Background rules: Assume that your job situation won't need to change - you can find an identical job or work from home or whatever, so jobs don't matter. Consider the house itself and the location and anything else that's important to you (schools, restaurants, lot size, etc.). Feel free to do a google map search to check out the neighborhood and the area. You cannot sell the home. You can live in it as long as you like, but when you move out, it reverts back to the state as a prize for a future winner. All houses will generally be in the $900,000 to $1 million price range. All maintenance and utilities and taxes are cost-neutral compared to your current home. If you wouldn't move into any of these homes, you can instead accept a cash prize of $50,000 (tax free). Today's state is Wisconsin. Here are your five houses: Fox Point - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...7-37526#photo0 La Crosse - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1_M79025-48208 Madison - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1-39800#photo0 Milwaukee - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...0-88741#photo0 Sheboygan - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1-60904#photo0 |

I happened to have a 1:1 meeting with a Wisconsin based co-worker today, (She had that sexy accent).
I went with Madison. It's overpriced and too "open concept" but I like the location and the lake. Put up a couple of walls and it's pretty darn good. |

Madison was great when I lived there, and if I lived in a house like that on Lake Monona, I'd never leave for any reason.
I'll take the Madison house. Yeah, there's the Fox Point property, but Milwaukee is a ****ing shit hole. |

To me, the Fox Point house looks like it was designed for Johnny Carson.

I really liked the castle, bu too small of a lot for me. Give me the seclusion. Sheboygan it is.

Probably go Madison here for the larger city and water access but Sheboygan with 63 is acres is tempting AF.
