    As short-term rental owners and operators for 10 years and counting, Sarah and Annette founded the Thanks For Visiting podcast and their online educational platform to bring their diverse knowledge to hosts ready to grow their businesses.

    Sarah and Annette met at a Columbus, Ohio City Council Meeting fighting for their right to host homes on a short-term rental basis. The two shared a belief that the short-term rental industry needs hosts to be more hospitable. Every resource they’d come across in growing their own businesses was purely profit-driven, and “heads in beds” just wasn’t their style.
