About the Authors

Craig Curelop is a real estate investor, author, and a huge believer in the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement. He started with a negative net worth in 2016, but between sleeping on the couch and renting out his personal car, he was able to save the money he needed to invest in two Denver house hacks and a BRRRR property in Jacksonville. He officially reached financial freedom in 2019, yet he continues his search for ways to optimize his life from a time and money perspective. As seen in The Denver Post, BBC, and his own book The House Hacking Strategy, Craig hopes to inspire the masses to grab hold of their finances. He currently lives in Denver, CO, where he enjoys biking, snowboarding, and hanging out with friends and family.
