Dave Boswell and Melina Boswell, on New Wealth Advisors Club’s 8 year anniversary of the opening of their second office, reminisce about some of the challenges they had to overcome when it was just them and their dog facing an upward battle in their efforts to achieve their goals. It’s been 16 years since the events of 9/11, and Dave and Melina talk about where they were during the tragedy as well as their plan to take their son on an educational visit to New York.
Episode 30 - Serve People, Always
Dave Boswell and Melina Boswell are joined by Yani Bos, founder of Bos Home Solutions and the quarterly BHS Foreclosure Prevention Event, and Tim Wilkinson, to discuss the impact that Yani’s free event has had with distressed homeowners by providing information on programs that can help them keep their home. Yani also shares how after 2 years of hosting the event, she is confident that 7 out of 10 homeowners can avoid going through a foreclosure.
Episode 29 - Enlightened
Dave and Melina Boswell have a clear idea on who it is they would like to join the club, and Joe Sanchez is one of those individuals. Joe thought he knew it all when it came to flipping houses, loan defaults, reverse mortgages and short sales but quickly realized that New Wealth Advisors Club wasn’t looking for that kind of individual. Instead, Dave and Melina stressed the importance of building relationships and being a part of a community. In two years, Joe met his mentor, Frank Luna Jr., and learned that by surrounding yourself with an experienced and knowledgable team, anything is possible.
Episode 28 - Without the Test, There's No Testimony
Dave and Melina Boswell are joined by Adam Halen and John Slater to share some of their real estate experiences in their native countries of Australia and England. Adam and John also explain how New Wealth Advisors Club has introduced them to other members that are dedicated to helping families get back on their feet and fight another day. Saving way more houses than having bought shows that New Wealth Advisors Club not only invests in properties but in homeowners, as well.
Episode 27 - The Settlement
This episode marks our one year podcast anniversary! Thank you for your continued support. Luis was a fifth grade dropout, but was raised as an entrepreneur by his father. Luis came to the club two and a half years ago. He had already seen some entrepreneurial success in previous endeavors, but the unique aspects of the club would have a deep and residual impact on Luis and his family. Luis describes New Wealth Advisors Club as a settlement. Like a child learning to walk, Luis submitted to the culture of this settlement and has grown and developed in ways that he and his wife, Ariana, could not have imaged.
Episode 26 - Common Questions and Misconceptions
New Wealth Advisors Club is a real estate investment club. We also provide education in real estate investing. New people who visit our office ask a lot of questions. Typically, those inquiries are based on misconceptions. Is this a scam? It sounds too good to be true. What's in it for you, Dave and Melina? Is it all about money? Let us walk you through what we do and, more importantly, why we do what we do in a way that addresses some of the most common misconceptions we encounter.
Episode 25 - Deals are Created
Let's talk strategy. But first, know this: Deals are not found they are created. The curriculum at New Wealth Advisors Club is really about practicum. Every deal has a lesson, good and/or bad. We teach those lessons. More than that, our education centers on identifying deals and having proper conversations with motivated sellers. Yes. Real, actual conversations. There is no magic list that will come to your inbox as you sit in your pajamas on your couch. If you want to be a real estate investor, you are going to have to get off the couch and have real conversations with motivated sellers. Dave and Melina Boswell discuss some strategy and chat with Tim and Oscar about a significant deal and some lessons learned.
Episode 24 - Panic To Profit - Part 2: Fearless
Flipping houses is a marathon, not a sprint. On the last episode, we dug into why folks believe they aren't getting the results they desire in their real estate investing careers. This week, we dig deeper and analyze and debunk a few common traps that folks often fall for: I don't have the time ... I don't have the knowledge ... I don't have the confidence. However, as we peel back the layers of these onions, we begin to recognize the underlying issue ... the "F" word. New Wealth Advisors Club's team of senior real estate investors examine how fear presents itself and walk through some strategies on identifying fear and tackling this trap head on.
Episode 23 - Panic To Profit - Part 1: Perspective
We posed a question to our real estate investment club: Is there anyone who believes the system created at the club for real estate investing doesn't work? 100% agreed: the system at NWAC works! However, a few folks don't believe they've achieved the success they're looking for. Whether that's flipping more houses, being my own boss, making more money, financial freedom or controlling my own schedule. So we asked the club a second question: Why aren't you achieving the goals you've set? On this episode, the founders, Dave and Melina along with a few senior real estate investors at New Wealth Advisors Club examine these answers and challenge them with a fresh perspective on how it's possible to realize your dreams.

Episode 16 - Relationships Matter
Something a little different… Dave and Melina sit with Frank, Catherine, Tim, Peter, Christian and Oscar to capture an impromptu brainstorming session. Tons of enthusiasm stems from the recent enhancement of the New Wealth Advisors Club brand and lots of positive changes. The insights shared are indicators of those habits and actions necessary for success in the club. Everybody chimes in and you’ll notice a common theme: Relationships Matter. The “people" part of the club is the most important aspect of the club. It isn’t access to information. It isn’t access to money. It’s all about people and relationships.
Episode 15 - Home of the Misfits
Dave and Melina sit with Frank and Catherine Luna. Frank and Catherine had originally been tax clients of Dave's, before they even went into real estate. They had known Dave and Melina for a couple years before Frank was suddenly laid off in 2009. Inspired to make a drastic change, Frank followed Dave's lead and dove into real estate. They discuss their early struggles and the mirrored struggles of other club members who they now get to mentor. This moving discussion also encapsulates what the club means to so many.
Episode 14 - Batman is Just a Man
Dave, Melina, and Tim Wilkinson have a chat with Chris Albin (aka Batman). Over a decade ago, Dave and Melina sought mentoring from Chris. The beauty of the relationship is that Chris wasn't a former real estate investor who subsequently decided to teach; he was an active investor with contemporary tools in his belt. If you're gonna do this business, you need to get off your computer and get with people who are doing what you want to do. The discussion centers on surrounding yourself with people doing actual deals who have developed teams with the tools needed to succeed.
Episode 13 - Imperfect Action
After Mark Strayer got laid off he tinkered with the idea of becoming a real estate investor. Not yet ready to pull the trigger, he ended up working for the man to get back on his feet. Once his head was above water, the itch for a change, for something better, wouldn’t go away. This is when Mark circled back to a familiar home: New Wealth Advisors Club. Mark knew he had the social skills to build relationships and find motivated sellers, two cornerstones of real estate investing. But he needed more. He needed a community to guide him through closing deals and flipping houses and he wasn’t afraid to ask questions. Through NWAC, Mark was able to recognize his skill set and, more importantly, recognize what he needed and where to find it. Mark set aside his pride and asked for help. 65 days and two deals later, that humility paid off.
Episode 12 - Get Around The Right People
Coming from a mostly blue collar background, Kevin knew from an early age that he wanted to be his own boss. When he came to New Wealth Advisors Club he was a shy 18 year old with braces. Kevin's very first deal was a BIG win, but forced him to learn some lessons that most kids don't get. According to Kevin, after eight years of growth in the club, learning from Dave and Melina, and partnering with various other club members, the most important lesson: "Get around people that are successful and doing what you want to do."
