Craig has house hacked eight times and authored the book The House Hacking Strategy published by BiggerPockets. Since 2020, he has helped over 600 people close co-living deals in the greater Denver market and has helped thousands of investors build wealth through real estate across the country.

Today, Craig owns over 30 properties, is invested in multiple syndications, runs Denver’s number #1 investor-friendly realtor team and co-owns a co-living property management company called HomeCrew which manages over 500 units and makes well over six-figures per year. He also hosts the weekly podcast Invest2FI, is working on his third book, and coaches agents to build their own investor-friendly teams.
