Hi everyone:

My husband and I currently live in Northwest Montana (just outside Glacier National Park), but we are from east Tennessee, just outside the Great Smoky Mountains. We love national parks!  I travel back to TN pretty frequently to handle family matters as well as for work. 

Areas we're looking at for investment include NW Montana, the Smokies, and the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand area. 

My goals in joining BiggerPockets are to educate myself and accomplish my goal of acquiring at least one investment/rental property in 2022. I'm open to both STR and LTR, and would ultimately like to have a mix of investments. May eventually be interested in other types of investments beyond rentals, but rentals are where I'm starting. 

I love dogs, hiking, travel, and pretty much any outdoor activity.  I love to learn about new things, and can't wait to see what this group can teach me.

    Welcome Ashley! There's a real estate meetup in Kalispell run by Kendal Lamb, if I was in your shoes I'd start out by reaching out to her and starting to attend those. You'll learn so much more by meeting in person with fellow investors. Best of luck, let me know if there's anything I can do to support from down here in Missoula.
