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.
