Unreal Estate Game: Alaska
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 Alaska. Here are your five houses: Anchorage - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...9718507#photo0 Big Lake - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1-01868#photo0 Chiniak (Kodiak Island) - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...7-19108#photo0 Homer - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...0-71440#photo0 Ketchikan - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...4-97750#photo0 |

Most of the south coast seems to have pretty nice summers, and it's gorgeous. Winters might get kind of long, but I think I could live there.

Do you want to propose the properties? Feel free if you like: the only rule is that we're generally looking for a diverse array, with costs between $900,000 and $1 million.

Don't be scared. January 2015, I flew out of Montana (36 degrees) into Austin Texas (31 degrees) while my buddy in Sitka Alaska (48 degrees) was fishing.

I went up to work on the north slope for a job "a buddy" had lined up. It turned out "the buddy" was full of crap, but I decided to stay up there for a year anyway. I got on as an inspector for Subaru and would inspect the cars when they would come in on the ships from Japan for any damage. Anchorage has changed a lot form the time I lived there. When I was up there in the mid 80's it must have been an 80/1 guy girl ratio and the one was ugly. In that regard it was a long year. Last time I was up there I saw a lot of good look ladies. If it would have been like that when I was living there, I probably would have never left. I primarily fished/fish the Kenai for salmon and Homer for Halibut.

Like most Alaska areas, the quality of neighbors can vary from block to block, even within a block. Very nice houses next to property with a trailer on it. Big Lake is the meth capital of Alaska so you'd definitely want your shotgun. Weird thing is you could drive down the street and see really nice houses yet across the street are run down trailers, complete with cars on blocks. |

Anchorage has pockets of nice parts in the city, but downtown is certainly not one of them. Growing up there was ok...long summer days were amazing but the long winter really sucked (hence why I now live in San Diego). |
