David Wilding

Hey BP Nation! My name is Dave and I live in South Jersey about 15 minutes over the bridge from Philadelphia. Married and my wife and I have three young boys. My wife and I are originally from Delaware County(Delco) PA, where we both still work as police officers. I'm brand new to real estate investing and became interested and started researching it just a few months ago when a work acquaintance was telling me about at BRRRR project he was working on. He told me about bigger pockets podcast and mentioned a few books he had read and I've been digging in ever since. Currently, I'm looking into and really excited about investing in a STR in the Pocono area. I'm in the process of getting preapproved now, so I'm hoping to make some moves soon. Looking in the Poconos for now since it's considered my backyard to get my feet wet. Once I get a door or 2 and some experience and knowledge, I like the idea of long distance real estate investing to capitalize on other growing markets. I also have some interest in buy and hold, long-term rentals eventually, but as I mentioned right now I’m focusing on STRs. I’m looking forward to connecting with people, sharing ideas, learning, and hopefully building and scaling a diverse portfolio.
