Maybe it's because I grew up in the northeast and live in California, but I am in love with these Tudor style houses. I better hope I don't see one in a location I want, I don't think I can control myself and will end up getting one. Too bad Tudors are mostly in the suburbs or depressed market/state. It's probably the biggest nono on this forum. Falling in love with an investment property.
There's plenty of them out here in the Seattle area. Mostly in the premium neighborhoods too. If you want a nice one complete with an english garden this is the place.
@Lynne Garris I have been spending a lot of time looking at houses I want to buy as investment. Unfortunately most I found investment worthy usually look like crap. Some look like refugee camps, some look like ghost houses and none have any charm in it. A little charm like the funny looking Tudor in Milwaukee already made me laugh.
@Megan Shay Some of the more modern Tudor don't look quite as cool though. Although some of the older ones, I can picture Dracula hanging upside down in it :)
@Tom Makinen haha, I feel you on falling in love with investments. I LOVE the seattle one you listed, but Milwaukee looks great too! Especially for that cost :)
Little known fact: Lots of Tudors in central beacon hill "up and coming" area of seattle a bit south of jackson park golf course. Odds of finding one for sale though, low to zilch.
