My Story_ looking in Idaho and Montana

Investor · San Diego, CA · Member since 2020 · 21 posts · 16 votes

In 2020 I graduated from Auburn University's Engineering College. 👷‍♂️

I commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps a few months later.

But there was a pandemic, and my start date was pushed back a year.

So I did what any 22-year-old from Atlanta would do, packed my bags, and moved to Big Sky, MT, to teach Skiing and Snowboarding. ⛷🏂

Once I got there, I met some folks that did well in the Real estate market. 🏡

I wanted in!

✅offered to help in any way possible.
✅cold-called
✅knocked on doors
✅called every real estate agent in 3 counties looking for deals.

We found a few that worked, but we failed to close 13 offers in 13 deals and lost five months of cold calling and networking until finally, we got one under contract; six hard months later, we closed.

That's the story of how I started in Real Estate.

Now I have 66 units in my portfolio between Single Family, Commercial units, and Short term rentals. 🏙

My goal is to help as many people as possible succeed in Real estate.

Looking 

to do more deals in the rocky mountains soon!

    @Charles Tucker Kimbrough Congratulations! That is awesome and I guess you can say something good that came from the pandemic since you may not have done any of that otherwise. I am in Eastern Idaho. My wife is a Realtor helping investors purchase all around Eastern Idaho. I also am a syndicator for RV Campground Resorts all across the country and build-to-rent ground up multi-family developments. Campground Resorts are basically a STR on a multi-family scale. Which we do typically have some STR on the properties anyway that are strictly for those glamping experiences.

    Charles that is awesome! I also just graduated recently (this past Friday, haha) and am continuing down the real estate path! How has your time been in the STR space?

    It has been a steep learning curve, but we kept bouncing back and learning new strategies to combat any obstacles we faced.

    @Charles Tucker Kimbrough love that! I'm just getting started myself in the STR management space. I'd love to connect and stay in touch! Just sent you a request!

    66 units on a fresh college grad salary/military?  You have a big money partner or something?  Is RE that cheap in Idaho/Montana?

     I scaled very quickly and aggressively through partnerships and by raising capital!

    @Charles Tucker Kimbrough I'm a native Montanan over in Belgrade and a mechanical engineer in my day job. Are your units spread throughout the region or concentrated in the Bozeman/Big Sky area? Congrats on your successes!

    It is all up in the Flathead valley. We got priced out of Big Sky.
