On this episode of Second Home First, I’m taking you behind the scenes of something I never could have predicted: my very first vacation home, Trout Landing, being featured on an Emmy Award-winning TV show!But this episode isn’t really about TV. It’s about what happens when you put yourself in the game. When we bought this home, I thought I was making one decision—buying a place to make family memories. Along the way, I also realized what a smart financial decision it was. But what I didn’t realize is it was also opening doors to opportunities I couldn’t even see yet.In this episode, I share:–How Trout Landing was discovered by a TV producer–The behind-the-scenes process of getting selected–What it actually takes to prepare a vacation rental for filming–The last-minute chaos (and perfectionism spiral) before the shoot–And the bigger lesson: why the ROI of a second home goes far beyond incomeKey links:–Second Home First Academy: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com/academy*Use code PODCAST for 40% off–Subscribe to the free weekly newsletter: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com/#subscribe–Visit the website: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com–Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @BuyYourSecondHomeFirst–Find us on Substack: SecondHomeFirst.Substack.com–Say Hi!
