In this powerful episode, Carter and Joe sit down with real estate investors Derek Loda and Josh Jensema for a deep dive into what it really means to build a business that supports your ideal lifestyle — not just your income goals.

Together, they unpack the importance of clarity of vision, and how defining your personal and professional "end goal" can drastically reshape the way you approach your daily actions, deal flow, and long-term strategy.

We also get into the often overlooked conversation around owning properties free and clear vs. being 100% leveraged.
