Scott Hollister

My life’s purpose is to be a great family man, live long and healthy, enjoy life, give back, and achieve financial freedom. I started investing in single-family homes back in 2012 and I left my career as a teacher in 2017 to pursue full time real estate investing. I started The Book Club Interview, combining two of my passions of reading and education. I host Authors on business, real estate, and life. Past guests include: Bob Burg (The Go-Giver) David Allen (Getting Things Done) and Jay Papasan (The ONE Thing). I credit my love of learning from my past career as a teacher and coach where I taught Health Class, Cross Country, and an award winning high ropes character education program. As owner/operator of David Wesley Real Estate, I invest in multifamily assets on the East Coast to provide financial freedom for myself and others. I stick to sound investing principles to achieve consistent results by purchasing for cash flow after thorough analysis and accurate evaluation. David Wesley Real Estate is named after my father, David Wesley Hollister. I named the company after him to honor his name and the values and work ethic he has taught me. He was a simple man who believed in working hard, being a person of his word, and helping others in need.
