David Ebom
I'm David Ebom, founder of David's Haven Stays. I'm a Business Analyst by trade, a short-term rental owner-operator by experience, and I built this company because I saw a gap between what owners want from a rental property — real income, without the daily grind — and what most self-management actually looks like.
My background is in finance and operations analytics. I earned my MBA in Finance from DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business and a BS in Finance from Illinois State University. I've built forecasting models that hit 92%+ accuracy, worked global pricing strategy at Baker McKenzie, and today I work in Operations Analytics for a major events and experiences company in Dallas — finding where a process is leaking money and fixing it.
That same lens is what I bring to every property I manage.
I relocated from Chicago to Dallas as a deliberate, faith-driven decision to build my career and my life here for the long term. Dallas is where I've put down roots — professionally, personally, and in my faith community — and it's where I've chosen to build this business.
Before David's Haven Stays managed a single property for anyone else, I was managing my own — in Chicago and here in Dallas. I've handled the 2 a.m. guest messages, the double-booking from a channel that didn't sync, the slow week that needed a pricing adjustment I almost missed. I built the systems to solve those problems for myself first. That's the experience this company is built on.
What I Do
David's Haven Stays manages short-term rental properties for owners who want the income without the operational load. I handle pricing strategy, guest communication, cleaning and turnover coordination, multi-channel listing management, and reporting — so owners can keep their property working for them without it becoming a second job.
My Mission
My mission is simple: give property owners a way to earn real income from their short-term rental without sacrificing their time, their peace of mind, or the condition of their home. I run every property the way I'd want mine run — with real financial discipline, clear communication, and full transparency about where every dollar goes.
