Hack Your Home & Live For Free with Crai...

About this episode

Today we’re talking with our friend Craig Curelop about the magic wealth building technique of house hacking. Back in 2017 Craig had a negative net worth of $30,000. But by implementing different tactics to earn more, spend less, and invest the difference, he was able to reach financial independence two years later in 2019. And of course house hacking played a major role in Craig’s rapid ascent towards financial freedom. We cover all the ins and outs of house hacking and we discuss the different house hacking methods because there are a variety of options that you could go with as some of that depends on your personal situation like if you’re single or if you have a family. We’re going to cover what you need to know, before you start house hacking your way to financial freedom.
