Hey Brandon,

Good to connect with you, Great Falls is a great market. I'm breaking ground on a 163 home subdivision up there in the spring. I run the Missoula meetup, but there unfortunately isn't one in Great Falls. I'd highly recommend starting one up there though, that will do so much to advance your networking and progress. Shoot me your email address and I'll send you a step by step guide to how I did it down here. 

Best of luck!

Keith

Our next Missoula Real Estate Meetup will be at Highlander Brewery on Tuesday, September 16th, at 6 PM. We have a special meeting where we will discuss your specific real estate situation! Come with questions, ideas, example deals and we will have an open discussion and group members will offer advice, support, connections, and brainstorming. Think of it as a mastermind to address whatever obstacle you're currently facing.

The Missoula Real Estate Meetup has three main goals:

1. Learn more about the Missoula Market

2. Make authentic connections

3. Share strategies and information

As always, there will be no selling of any products or services, and it's always free to attend.

We meet the third Tuesday of every month at the Highlander, at 6:00 PM. We usually have 20-30 attendees.

Kim Pearce is a CPA at Boyle, Deveny & Meyer.

Kim will apply investor-focused tax clarity on current issues affecting the market. In light of significant property tax reform coming in 2025 and 2026—especially affecting short-term rentals, second homes, and commercial properties—her presentation is essential.

Why this matters:

• Breakdown of key 2025–2026 property tax changes, specific to high-impact property categories.
• Tactical foresight to anticipate tax exposure, protect margins, and reposition assets proactively.
• Real, no-frill clarity—straight to the investor value without jargon.
