Once our fiance & I retired, the people I was with and I no longer wanted to deal with the long Winter in the north… To avoid the sub zero rapidly decreasing temperatures, bitter windchill & endless amounts of snow, the people I was with and I obtained a fourth home down south, and every one of us now love the best of the weather in each location, he & I live in the original home up north from the start of May until the end of October. Every one of us miss out on the high heat & humidity down south, then while there are a lot of advantages to cutting our time between numerous residences, there are also some identifiable challenges. We’ve needed to invest into numerous sodmowers, numerous sets of household tools, extra linens, dishes, clothes & shoes. One of the largest concerns was security at each property, but leaving a home empty for 6 weeks is worrisome. There’s the concerns of a break-in, vandalism & mangle from natural disasters. Every one of us didn’t want to rely on neighbors to keep an eye on the houses for us. The ideal solution was to install a home security system for each residence. The cost was reasonable & the relief is sizable. The system includes surveillance cameras that supply real-time footage of all exterior angles… Because the people I was with and I can access the images through an app on our smartphones, the people I was with and I consistently know exactly what’s going on! Plus, the people I was with and I earn alerts when someone enters the perimeter. Every one of us can see who is sitting on our front steps & even converse with them. Automated locks allow us to let in repairmen or delivery men, even if we’re hundreds of miles away.
