Woops, I accidently pasted in our speaker from last month. This month, we have Jared Kuehn from First Security Bank. NOTE- The 14th is the second Tuesday of December, not the third when we usually meet.

Jared is a commercial lender with First Security Bank, and knows the ins and outs of securing loans. He will share common issues investors run into, and identify successful strategies in this unique market.

Couldn't agree more man! I'm just about to submit a permit for a backyard ADU for a house I'm buying on Thursday, and I am not excited for the process of pushing it through the city. It takes forever and a requires way too much effort. Unless you call frequently, it just sits on people's desks.

But I've heard the same as you, if you're trying to do any sort of actual development, you better have a LOT of patience. A subdivision taking years seems like the standard. 

I just wanted to start a thread specifically for Investors in Missoula Montana. 

I'll start by sharing this really interesting article on the fundamentals of the Montana housing market, and why we're seeing the spike in prices.

Our speaker this month is Leslie Laird, the Vice President at Juniper Capital. Juniper Capital is a lender in Missoula that offers a variety of different loans, including hard money. She is experienced in lending and will offer us a unique perspective on the current state of the lending industry.

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.

Feel free to bring any guests, see you there!

Sweet dude, I appreciate you laying all the numbers out, that's super helpful. What were some of the things you learned from buying this house and the rehab?

Also, you wrote two different purchase prices for the house, are those two numbers the price you bought it at, and what its worth today?

Is everyone else seeing a slowing market in Missoula? I'm seeing houses sit for longer, and was recently the only offer on a property, it was nice to avoid the usual bidding war.

Agreed, except I'd get a USDA 0% down loan, since it's a rural area. 

Yeah, nothing too much to add. I would really like to help change the laws so that Montana was a disclosure state, but it seems like an uphill battle. 

We got the back gazebo reserved, hope to see you there! Make sure to bring a warm coat, we'll be outside and it's going to be around 57 degrees. 

See you soon!
