It’s in a highly desirable area for families (good schools) but also close to businesses, transport, a major university, and walking distance to high end shops, restaurants, etc.

I already have eave mount motion sensing dawn to dusk security lights at each corner but she still feel better with the light directly over the doors.She pays for her own electric so I am not paying for the usage.I read that leaving lights on forever can be a fire hazard but I don't know if that's a myth, or not.The lights are enclosed, ceiling mount lights with a 60W incandescent bulb.

If I had to predict areas that will grow in appreciation in Harrisburg...They would include midtown, areas along the Susquehanna river(scenic area with running paths), Harrisburg train station area (central hub for transportation with plans to grow), and Cameron street (industrial area seeing a slow revamp).

We did two things: ordered some stuff delivered to our primary residence (TVs, kitchen items, etc bought during a Prime Day sale) and transported it to our STR via a Penske truck, and then ordered the majority of furniture from a store near our STR.I recommend buying local to your STR if they can store your furniture in their warehouse until you're ready to move in. 

In that case you'll most likely have to pay the transportation/set up costs to entice them, which will run you at least $20k.

. $2,925(included in my operations is a $50 per unit retained savings fee that I save in an account to help subsidize the cost of unit replacement scheduled @ 7 yrs.)My model works for me, however, the average cost per unit was $22,000 with transport and setup.

Only thing that will save it is enhanced transportation to DC like the Maglev being built or autonomous vehicles eliminating speed limits on a BW parkway lane or 95. 

Areas like Lawrenceville, East Liberty, Bloomfield, and Highland Park have exhibited favorable potential due to their proximity to amenities, transportation, and the continuous growth of the local economy.
