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 30-40 attendees.

Thanks so much to Ryan Frey for an amazing talk at our November Meetup. It was so informative about development. I've linked the notes I took below, I hope you find them useful.

Welcome Mason! I'd focus on the BP House Hacking book, it's pure gold man! 

Hey Jason,

Great question. I personally just use the BP lease for MT, which I can share if you don't have it. But if you need a lawyer, I'd recommend Kevin Jones, he's great, and highly recommended by a lot of investors.

Other recommended lawyers I'd send you to are Mike Bybee- John Strong highly recommends him. 
Jenna Lyons- Partner/Attorney at Wagner & Lyons, PLLC, she is Real Estate focused.

Yeah, we had much better turnout from STR owners in the other two meetings. We'll see if it makes a difference though, the way the city council is talking, they want to crack down. I doubt they'll be able to do too much though, the threat of the State Legislature stripping away local limitations on STRs is top of mind.

Next meeting is November 7th at noon!

Our speaker this month is Ryan Frey. He is the experience owner of Saddle Mountain Construction, as well as the co-owner of the Continuum Building Group, Ryan has a wealth of experience in the building industry. He is an experienced developer, and has both a incredible amount of knowledge and connections in the building industry in Missoula. His specific focus for this talk will be on development, including both small, backyard development, and larger development projects. He will also spend a significant portion of his time answering questions from the group.

The notes from out last meetup are linked below, which was John Strong. He did a great job of breaking down how to protect your assets, check it out!

If you have a Short Term Rental in Missoula, or know someone who does, the city is planning some pretty significant changes to the regulations, including limiting their numbers, multiplying the fees by 7X, and many more. Please attend the upcoming online planning meeting to discuss these changes. In the last meeting, not a single STR owner showed up, and that really makes a difference when it comes to the city's decision-making. The next meeting is October 29th at noon, the link to the handout is below with additional details. Please forward this to anyone you know who has an Airbnb in Missoula, most owners don't know this is happening.

If you living in Missoula, I'd highly recommend filling out the Missoula Community Needs Assessment. The city and county really do use this feedback, and if you'd like to see changes happen, you have to speak up! I just completed it myself, and it only took a few minutes.

@Travis Elliott They're mostly making the argument that the middle class in Missoula will be priced out, and only expensive homes will be left. 

Below is the link to the takeaways from the last meetup, which had John Strong as our speaker. Some really great info about how to protect your assets and ensure they aren't taken away in a lawsuit. Thanks so much John!
