I'd love to hear from homeowners and real estate investors who've renovated and rented out their own personal vacation home—one they use personally but also rent out when they're not there. What were the challenges of renovating and renting your own vacation home versus a pure investment property? What did you learn, and what advice would you give others who want to renovate or rent their own vacation home? What should be done differently when a home doubles as a personal home and rental—for example, securing valuables? Please include answers to these questions in your initial message, along with your email for follow-up and any photos of the home (with photo credit).
