About the host
Hosted by Debra
We moved to Wake Forest in 2010, right as we were starting to build our family (I was pregnant with my first). As soon as I had my daughter, I decided to leave the workforce and focus on taking care of my family and house. Through the years I have filled my time with volunteering throughout the community. I am very active in the school's PTA, organize all of the social activities in my neighborhood (and we do lots!), and taught Sunday School when the kids were younger.
In the past few years, I have really developed a love for real estate investing. In my spare time, I love reading/listening/learning all things real estate and financial literacy (my nerdy side can't help it!). I take pride in my houses and in treating my tenants well.

Why they chose this property
I love real estate and I love hosting, so putting the two together seemed natural. In the past, I have only been involved in long term rentals and just ventured upon the short term rental world recently. I love the need it fills when you have outgrown the small space of a hotel room with no kitchen. I love the personal connections you make and the personal touches you can add when hosting short stays.
What makes this property unique
Heated toilet seats are literally one of my favorite things in life! Each bathroom is equipped with one. If you have never tried one...your tush will thank you :)
