Want to reach financial independence fast—like, really fast? Then, you should copy Craig Curelop’s strategy. He reached financial independence in his twenties with just THREE rental properties, using very little of his own money. But this came with a significant amount of sacrifice. Craig was sleeping on his couch, renting out his bedroom in his first house hack so that he could live for free. Thankfully, that bit of discomfort pushed him to massive financial success.

Now, Craig is making six-figure passive income from his real estate investments, but this all happened thanks to his first house hack. In just seven years, Craig went from having very little money to becoming a real estate investing expert, making MASSIVE active income and even more impressive passive income. He’s sharing exactly what he did, his steps, and his strategy to reach financial freedom faster than almost anyone else we’ve interviewed!
