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.

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses the concept of a KP, or Key Principle, in a large real estate investment deal. So, what the heck is a KP? Is this another complicated formula we must all write down and memorize to be a sophisticated real estate investor? No, luckily not this time. KP stands for Key Principle, and the KP is a person.

Ep. 523 - Finding and Working With Pre-Forclosure Investment Deals
Tuesday Jun 13, 2023
Tuesday Jun 13, 2023
Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses dealing with pre-forclosure investment opportunities. In all types of real estate markets, there are opportunities for a driven investor to find deals that are in danger of being reclaimed by the banks with foreclosure. If handled with care and respect, these deals can be lucrative to build your second stream of passive income. But even though these people and families are in financial trouble, that doesn't mean an investor should come in and try to steal the deal. Join Steve as he goes through the process of helping the investor get a good deal and helping the family move forward in their life.

Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses the comment made by Warren Buffett that stated that Real Estate Investing is not for the average person. On the surface, this is a very harsh and definitive-sounding statement, but what Mr. Buffett was saying is that the average layperson shouldn't start attempting to invest in real estate BEFORE they become educated about it. Steve is here is break that statement into pieces and help you all get started on that wealth-creating path!

Ep. 520 - Listener Request: Buy Assets, Not Toys First
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses a concept that a listener requested: People should buy assets first and toys last. This concept has been inverted in our current culture and leads people to chase the "nice" things in life and run out of money before they can purchase assets that build their wealth. So what are people to do? Is there anyone doing a podcast who could help with this?!?
