Today Joe talks to Ryan Leake who two years ago started from scratch and today manages 60+ luxury short-term rental properties, and has coached dozens of early-stage operators as they signed their next clients, built their first real systems, and gained traction in their own management businesses.

Ryan Leake, originally from Mill Valley, CA, moved to Austin, TX in 2023, where he left corporate America and founded Host Del Casa, a short-term rental management company. 

After successfully building the business, Host Del Casa merged with Five Star Vacation Home Rentals (FSVHR), where Ryan is now a Partner for the #1 luxury short-term rental management company in Central Texas - managing 60+ luxury short-term rental properties across Austin and San Antonio.

In addition to his role at FSVHR, Ryan became a coach and consultant for STR Secrets, the leading short-term rental business coaching program, where he helped operators overcome self-limiting beliefs and build profitable, lifestyle-driven STR businesses. 

Today, Ryan continues to coach and mentor new short-term rental operators, share insights as a thought leader in the space, and prioritize a life designed around freedom, impact, and balance.
