New member in Great Falls, MT

[Mark Caiazza]

Hello BP community,

My name is Mark Caiazza, I'm originally from Rochester, NY and joined the US Air Force in 2001. I purchased single family homes at my last two duty stations (Las Vegas, NV and Fairfield, CA). I am now stationed in Great Falls, MT and hope to expand my buy-and-hold portfolio. However, this market is extremely different from California and Vegas, so I am hesitant to jump in... which is how I stumbled upon BiggerPockets. I found BP while searching for different ways to analyze a real estate market.

Beyond the goal of improving my market analysis, I am interested in getting educated on flips and commercial real estate. Also, I hope to pass on some of my experience as a long distance landlord to other out-of-state investors/military members.

Thanks for all the great tools and information!
