New investor in Great Falls, Montana

[Josh VanSetten]

Hello Bigger Pockets community! I am a father of three great kids and husband to an amazing wife. I own a construction company in North Central Montana. I own two rental properties with my business partner, the first kind of fell into our laps and we have been very lucky on. It does not cash flow but we do have equity in it. The second was a great deal, we bought it well below value and our construction company rents it from our properties company as a shop and yard. We also have good equity in that. We are excited to put rental property investing higher on our priority list and got a line of credit to use as a down payment and repair cost for our next purchase. The LOC is using the equity as collateral. Looking for deals in Great Falls, Montana. I am excited to become an active member on BP forums.
