The Total Wealth Academy Podcast
The Total Wealth Academy radio show is about much more than just using real estate to make more money. Real wealth includes all the parts of a balanced life: fitness, family, romance, charity, fun, travel, and, of course, money. Host Steve Davis started with bad credit and no money and ended up invested in over 4000 single-family and apartment units. He did this while maintaining above-average fitness, a 33-year marriage, raising two outstanding children, and simply living life to the fullest. He will show you how you can do this too using real estate to build passive streams of income. Steve and his team of mentors, who will be his guests on the show occasionally, have over 50 years of experience teaching people how to achieve their dreams through investing in real estate. Their one-on-one mentoring and consulting are second to none.

Or were all of the foundation-shifting moments in your life happening when they wanted to happen, not when you wanted them to? Tune in now and let Steve explain why this is not only common but also completely natural.

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses the recent events unfolding at the Total Wealth Academy office, where a group of teens left the building having been taught something their parents had never been exposed to. We are, of course, referring to the concepts of credit, investment lending, and the process of real estate investing itself. That's right, at least once a year, Total Wealth Academy hosts a class, taught by Noble Mortgage, where any interested teen is given a crash course in real estate investing! But what happened to the parents after the class?
