Bob Bernotas is a seasoned entrepreneur and franchise expert dedicated to unlocking financial, time, and locational freedom. With over 30 years in franchising, including owning multiple concepts, Bob passionately helps investors evaluate opportunities to transition from corporate life into semi-absentee franchise ownership.
Bob explains there are active, semi-passive, and passive franchise models to match investors' lifestyle goals. He advises pursuing emerging brands backed by experienced franchisors, focusing on resilient categories like home services. Bob stresses finding an expert consultant familiar with the franchising landscape to avoid costly mistakes.
When assessing risk, he analyzes potential pandemic impacts, Amazon-resistance, and recession resilience. Strong unit economics and a clear exit strategy are also key, with realistic returns being 2-3X the initial investment over 3-5 years.
As an example, Bob highlights a client couple who left corporate jobs after launching a fast-growing home services franchise. Following his advice, they rapidly expanded territories and added a complementary brand, propelling revenue over $3M in under two years.
Bob emphasizes that while not as glamorous as trendy opportunities, selecting the right evergreen concept with an experienced leadership team can lead to outsized returns. His goal is empowering burnt-out corporate workers to secure the time, location, and financial freedom franchise ownership can provide.

Hey there, listeners! It's Derek Clifford here, and I'm excited to take you on a special betweenisode of the "3 Degrees of Freedom" Podcast. It's just me this time, as my wife and I recently returned from an incredible three-month adventure in Japan, reveling in the magic of location freedom we've been fortunate to embrace since leaving my full-time job. Now, these betweenisodes are all about diving into what I like to call "the messy middle" of life - those moments in between the episodes where the world seems to churn with challenges, and it feels like the weight of the world rests on our shoulders. But fear not, if you're feeling that too, you're definitely not alone.
In this episode, I'll share my personal journey of embracing the ever-changing seasons of life. From the decision to break free from the traditional work structure to exploring new possibilities in different corners of the world, I'll take you along as I distill the wisdom and experiences that have shaped my path. Life is full of transitions, and sometimes they can be tough, but they also offer incredible opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
Join me on this introspective ride as I explore the depths of the "messy middle" and how it has contributed to my quest for true freedom and meaning. Together, we'll uncover the transformative power of embracing change and navigating life's diverse landscapes. So buckle up, fellow travelers, as we embark on this enriching "Betweenisode" titled "Seasons of Life" on the "3 Degrees of Freedom" Podcast!

This recap episode with Sophie and Derek centers on the numerous takeaways from the conversation with Aaron, specifically all about underwriting and mindset. They discussed how most active investors are actively trying to get over into the passive side, including us! Underwriting is the cornerstone of the business plan. Start with market, criteria, and then business approach. Underwriting is an art form, and some sponsors can abuse this or twist this, so be careful! The underwriting and business plan says much about the sponsor. We also jumped into the fact that using underwriting as a benchmark for the execution of the property is a key hallmark of success, and is also a predictor of trends for rental growth.

While the thought of working with your spouse in business scares many people, those who do achieve results faster, smoother, and in higher magnitudes. Reed Goosens and his wife, Erica, come on to talk about mindset, leveraging your spouse , and growing together as a couple. On the show. We trade ideas on:
• Spouses being able to identify blind spots in business
• Encouraging each other to jump into entrepreneurship
• Relying on your spouse to help you with areas you are weak
• How spousal intuition is worth its weight in gold
In 2012, Reed quit his job in Australia and moved halfway across the world to chase a goal. He moved to the US without a job, he had no established network and no family members for support. He backed himself and took a leap of faith. With limited funds, Reed purchased his first property all cash for $38,000 in late 2012. Since then Reed has co-founded Wildhorn Capital and now controls over $500 mill worth of US commercial real estate, and he has achieved financial freedom in the process! Reed is also the author of two best-selling books on Amazon: Investing in the US - The Ultimate Guide to US Real Estate, and 10,000 Miles to the American Dream - Our Story of Financial Freedom. Reed is also the host of the successful podcast called Investing in the US wherein he interviews real estate investors, business owners, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and go-getters who have successfully achieved financial freedom through investing here in the U.S. If Reed can move halfway across the world and achieve all that he has in such a short period of time, then so can the average American.

What a treat we have for you on the Elevate Your Equity podcast this week! Join Jerome Myers as he shares some of his takeaways about making dreams come true and how he created the 'Red Pill' that guides people to a life of designed intentionality.
Jerome Myers is the preeminent authority of dream realization. A believer that dreams can, and should be real, Jerome left corporate America when he realized that his role offered financial gain, but little significance. He is the founder and head coach of Myers Methods and has been featured in Black Enterprise, Business Insider, and numerous podcasts. After building a highly profitable division of a Fortune 500 company, Jerome decided to leave the rat race to get away from what seemed to be the endless slew of layoffs. He has developed a system for exiting corporate America and creating a life of impact. Today, he and his company help other apex performers find their calling and live every day on purpose by harnessing the power of his model for a Centered Life, what he calls “the Red Pill”. Jerome and his firms can guide any individual from a monotonous uninspiring existence to a life of fulfillment and impact.

Jay Helms really brought the goods in this episode, I think you will get a lot of value out of all the stories he has and how his wife has helped them open up his eyes to a better way to do things. Stay tuned because it has to do with abandoning narrow-minded focus.
Jay has created a community and a system to show parents how to achieve financial freedom through real estate investing, so they'll never worry about being acquired, fired, or laid off ever again in the W-2 world. Jay has spent almost 20 years serving the information technology industry of corporate America. With a mix of single-family, small multifamily, and apartment syndications, Jay and his wife have grown their real estate portfolio to over 320 units across four states in just six years of investing while working a full-time job and bringing three beautiful kids into the world.
In 2019, Jay founded the W2 capitalist community which is a resource for 30 to 40-year old married men and women who want to build multiple streams of income through real estate investing, so they can be even more present, both mentally and physically with their spouse and children.
You can find Jay and everything about his movement on his website w2capitalist.com. You can also reach out to him directly via email at jay@w2capitalist.com.

Mike and Michelle Montana started investing in real estate by partnering with a work colleague to buy a duplex as a house hack back in 2000. Later, in the same year, they expand their portfolio with that same partner to acquire a four-plex. And then a few years later, they scaled up to a 14 unit property. And then from there from 2005 to 2007, they ventured into a series of fix and flip single-family properties. And then in 2019, they sponsored their first multifamily syndication. And today, they own over 350 units across Indiana and Northern Kentucky. This was an awesome interview, we learned so much from Mike and Michelle about legacy, how to build wealth over the long term. And just being good people in general.

Today's episode has so much enthusiasm. Join Josh Ferrari, an incredible 24 years old and has so much passion for real estate investing. Josh has been able to do real estate investing over the last three years. And so it's definitely been a journey that has some ups and downs and we're excited to be able to share them with you. But there's a lot to take away from this, a lot of practical examples and things that you can learn from following in his footsteps and just kind of walking the mile in his shoes.
Josh has been a licensed aircraft technician for the last three years. According to him being an aircraft technician is fun but requires meticulous attention to detail for the safety of the flight crew. He has never had any aircraft required to be reworked due to unsatisfactory work, so this attention to detail allows him to be the expert needed to run multifamily assets. Josh's ability to manage other people's money as a financial coach has to be a high-class asset manager and financial investor. His ability to raise private money has earned him the title of primary capital raiser for over $7 million raised in a three-year real estate investing journey. He currently has over 4 million assets under management which equates to 90 units in his personal portfolio. He's happily married to his wife Felicia for over three years. And they have a Corgi named Pecan and they love traveling, eating, and chewing fingers. Josh is an active member in his local church where he serves as the drummer on the worship team. He also mentors local entrepreneurs in financing and investing.
You can best reach out to Josh and learn about his offerings and his firm by visiting his website at www.ferraricapital.com. He also has a podcast, entitled "Creative Capital" which you can visit and listen to on his website.

An absolutely genuine talk with Randy Langenderfer. We talked about the difference between investing and speculation how he was able to carry some of his natural talents from his W-2 work into the investing space and what the conversations were like at home when he was investing while starting off with his wife.
Randy is the president of InvestArk Properties LLC, focusing on creating investor value and passive income returns for the busy professional. He's been in multifamily real estate since 2014 as both a general partner, a key sponsor, and has had 250 doors and a limited partner exposure of over 4000 doors. His company offers the busy professional who wants to include multifamily and their portfolio partner with experts who are aligned with investment goals. He was previously a private money lender in remodeling single-family homes in Florida, Ohio, Texas, and much of other markets across the state. And he started with the values of $2.5 million, which he grew in the single-family space. He has since then represented over $11 million in assets managed in multifamily and serves as the Chief Compliance and audit officer for a large academic medical institution in Houston. He's got a bachelor's degree in accounting information systems and an MBA in finance and is also a non-active CPA. But most importantly, he's a husband and a father of four adult children spending his free time analyzing deals and networking with others.

We are privileged to have Mercy and Hendra Tambunan on today's show. We cover a lot of ground as we take a deep dive into Mercy and Hendra's successful real estate business. In this episode, we cover a special topic about leaving generational wealth and getting that side-hustle on!
Their business is built around their family and how they can leave generational wealth to not only pay for their child's college education but also give them the basis for success. On top of working together as a busy couple with a W-2 job, these two are crushing it in business and are eager to help others start their own business.
Mercy and Hendra earned their degrees from San Francisco State University. After graduating, Hendra worked on IPO Startups, Fortune 500 Corporations. Mercy worked in the hospitality industry and successfully operated multiple restaurants as an entrepreneur. After investing in single families on the side to save for their son's college fund, they realized that that just wasn't scalable and it wasn't fast enough. So they prompted to start to look into multifamily together in 2018 and then they finally decide to make a jump into multifamily investing in mid-2019. To date, they have been involved in 5 projects in more than 900 units as both general and limited partners. They also lead the San Francisco Chapter of Multifamily and More, a networking group of light-minded multifamily investors. Mercy and Hendra loved to connect and help others who are just trying to get into multifamily investing and get started.
Mercy and Hendra can be reached on Facebook, just search their names, Hendra Tambunan, and Mercy Halim-Tambunan. You can also visit their website and learn more about investing at www.ideaboxcapital.com. They also share newsletters about multifamily investing if you wish to opt in and receive them.
