Investors & landlords

What do you mean by "side vacation rental business"?  What are you renting? Ordinarily renting a vacation home is reported on Schedule E but other forms of "renting" can and should be reported on Schedule C.  If you are using TTSelf-Employed you certainly can report this activity in either case, but without a better understanding of exactly what comprises your "vacation rental business" it's not clear what Schedule you should use.
