Peak Construction Year
Built by an Engineer Who Chose People Over Products

Lina Yi Shrestha spent years at Tesla and Apple perfecting systems that work—every time, at scale, with zero surprises.
After optimizing production lines and product launches, she asked herself: What if I used these skills to help people build freedom through real estate?
When she started Second Home Hosting in 2022, she brought that same engineering rigor to a mission: creating housing solutions that give families time, income, and peace of mind.
The result? Data center contractors, construction teams, and relocated professionals get housing that just works—while property owners earn consistent income without lifting a finger.

Housing Shouldn't Be Your Project's Bottleneck
Your timeline is tight. Your crew needs to be on-site, not stuck in housing delays. We've been solving this for Temple construction projects since 2022.
48-Hour Move-Ins
Crew starting Monday? Call us Wednesday. We've done same-week placements for Meta and Rowan Digital contractors when timelines were tight.
Project-Phase Leasing
30-180 day leases that match your actual timeline. Phase running long? Extend. Finishing early? No 6-month penalty. Built for how construction actually works.
$60-90/Night Average
Hotels cost $150+/night. Apartments require 12-month leases. Our furnished homes hit the sweet spot: comfortable for workers, cost-effective for your budget.
Lower Crew Turnover
When workers are comfortable—full kitchen, washer/dryer, reliable WiFi, quiet neighborhood—they stay. Lower turnover means fewer delays and less re-training.

How we're supporting Temple's construction boom and economic growth
Temple Data Center Construction Housing
Temple, TX
Challenge
Temple's $1.8B construction boom created immediate housing demand for 2,000-3,000 daily workers. Meta's data center campus, Rowan Digital Infrastructure, and SeAH Manufacturing needed quality housing that wouldn't compete with permanent resident inventory.
Solution
We established 35+ professionally managed properties throughout Temple, providing immediate housing solutions for construction crews, contractors, and technical staff. Our mid-term rental model (30-180 nights) serves project-based workers without disrupting Temple's long-term housing market.
Result
Currently housing 25-50 Temple construction workers with capacity to scale. Zero project delays due to housing. Workers report high satisfaction, with many extending stays across multiple project phases. Temple EDC and Chamber now have a reliable housing partner to promote when recruiting companies.
"When companies ask us about Temple's workforce housing capacity, Second Home Hosting is our answer. They've become essential infrastructure for our economic development."
