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 income
