But I recently upgraded and used a local designer who has given me full sets of interior colors and exterior colors so we can properly design each home

We introduced a new color scheme for our new construction homes.Once the exterior paint was finished, we realized that we strongly disliked the color we chose for the garage door.Easy fix, spend the money to repaint the garage door and update the color package for future homes.Hiccups like this happen every day in this industry.

This means there is upwards of a 10 minute drive to reach some of the "A" locations in the neighborhood when traveling from  the "C" areas.  

My wife and I grew up in Erie and would like to have a duplex/triplex as our home base while we travel for her work. 

I chose the latter, because I used to travel a lot of for work and wanted a hands-off investment.

It would be nice to be able to have a direct connect with hospitals that pay for traveling professionals lodging.

So some have one or the other.I like solar powered cameras instead of Ring's of any kind.I have the Eufy exterior camera with separate solar panel.

And exterior curb appeal is veryyy important. 

Exterior work is difficult from Mid November through late March, but most of it can be done besides painting.

I would look for other types of travelers in addition to traveling medical professionals.
