Although I haven't had a lengthy experience with running a TOR relay, I will definitely attest to the fact that even the cheapest $5 VPS with low specs and a good distro on board, you can easily operate a relay. As for operating one at home, don't operate an exit like Olaf said and you'll be okay. Just ensure your node meets the requirements set forth on this page.
