We’re excited to welcome Dana Lynch to the Hospitable Hosts podcast. Dana is a short-term rental host based in Austin, Texas, with properties in Osage Beach, Missouri. Dana started her hosting journey while working full-time as a real estate closer—learning the ins and outs of the business by listening to podcasts during her 2.5-hour commute to work. Initially, she relied on a property manager but quickly realized that communication was lacking, pushing her to take control of her business with the help of automation tools like Hospitable. Now, she’s on a mission to scale her portfolio, aiming to add seven more properties this year.
