Hey Preslie Podcast

Wendy Doris (@mostess.host) used to flip homes for a living, and has since moved to managing short-term rentals. As someone who travels quite a bit, I was curious how viable it is to rent out your own place when you're gone, and what we should know as guests when it comes to renting spaces on Airbnb. 

In this episode we talk about: 

• Is it worth it to rent out your apartment when you're out of town?
• Things you might not think about being a landlord 
• Reasons to use a management company for your short-term rental
• Things to look for when finding a place on Airbnb
• What does being a "Super Host" mean?
• How to be a better guest
• and more!

What started as an emailed aggregate of information has turned into a full sports journalism company that covers athletes, events, sponsors, and the full scope of the CrossFit Games season via articles, interviews, social media content and more.

• How the inception of Morning Chalk Up was inspired by Justin's political experience in Washington D.C.
• Tips for building a business with the intention of growing, scaling and selling it
