I'm game...A snip-it from a post I did on this thread about investing in Wisconsin: Milwaukee is sitting on some of the most affordable housing in the country, is adjacent to one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has entertainment & food that rivals every major metro, it's sports teams bat way above average for a small market which attracts hundreds of thousands if not millions of people here annually, economic development has been happening at a level unprecedented since the '50s (we are breaking ground on the world's largest mass timber building in June), has a tech ecosystem on the ground floor of attracting major talents with partners from the fortune 500 companies in town... 

To which ultimately results into stagnation, procrastination, fear, hesitation, and bitterness.

The house has to be gutted anyway but how much are we looking at for this type of bitter homeowner destruction?  

Rivaling even our old money luxury neighborhood, Sequoyah Hills.

Unfortunately, I came back with a bitter story!

If I wasn't so bothered by bitter freezing temperatures(and being a down right big city girl) it might be a place of interest for me to relocate;-).If you don't mind sharing, what sort of investing are you going to or are doing?

I now have a new favourite floor to rival walnut and tigerwood :)I too may be borrowing your tub / shower design.The cosmetic beauty aside, what nature of efficiency factors did you use?

What effects do you think the bitter cold will have on an unoccupied house?

All I know in general, if you are in investing business, your house should be under contract within couple weeks, otherwise we count bitter losses.

I'd guess the financial concerns went in maybe rather defensive but knowing there were about to swallow a bitter pill, question was how bitter?
