In this episode of The Austin Palacios Podcast, we sit down with Patricia Currid, a former corporate project manager turned real estate investor and short-term rental co-host. Based in New Hampshire with her husband and 7 kids, Patty shares how she built a 30+ property Airbnb management business in under a year — all while prioritizing lifestyle, freedom, and family.

She breaks down her transition from nuclear power plant consulting to rural tiny-home hosting, and how discovering the co-hosting model changed everything. This episode is packed with personal insight, strategy, and lessons from scaling fast and learning on the fly.
