Several years ago, Chara acquired a home that she vacationed in part of the time and she rented part of the time. During the current year Chara:

• Personally stayed in the home for 14 days,

• Rented it at full fair market value to her parents for eight days,

• Rented it to her sister for five days at half price,

• Rented it to her friend at a discounted rate for three days,

• Rented it to another friend at fair market value for six days,

• Rented the home to third parties for 42 days at the market rate,

• Did repair and maintenance work for three days to keep the home ready for renters, and

• Marketed the property and made it available for rent for 120 days during the year even though it was not rented during this time.
