Also many have stopped lending  in your area contact @Ian Walsh  they are still open and are real.Beware fake lenders on Facebook or even BP  no lender will solicit you for a loan.. you have to call them.

@Ian Barnes Total newbie here and making mistakes along the way :) But school of hard knocks and learning a ton. 1.

@Ian WalshYeah my plan is to still get a 4 year degree, but might take a year off after I finish my 2 year at the Community College I’m currently at.

I'm in the Canad]ian market and just want some clarification. 

@Ian Ippolito Wow this is fantastic advice, thank you.

@Ian Walsh thank you for giving me the prospective of a lender.

@Ian Walsh My market is not relevant for me sorry.

I would agree with @Ian Boyd and his assessment of Billings, Great Falls, and Butte are all easier investments to get into, but Great Falls will offer you the most cash flow. 

@Ian Landrum on finding good tenants - it depends.  

@Ian Walsh Stock market is still strong though.
