I first got the idea to rent out my house the week of the Masters Tournament from my older brother. 

In 2012, my brother, who's four years my senior, moved from our hometown of Gainesville, Georgia, to Augusta to do his medical residency. He bought a home in Augusta and every year he'd post a classified on Craigslist and rent it out the week of the Masters. 

In 2016, I wound up moving to Augusta to begin med school myself and bought my own home in Augusta, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom less than a mile from Augusta National, the home of the Masters. I decided to take a page from my brother's playbook and began renting out my own home that same week each year, too. See more here.
