I know or have worked alongside a lot of people in the Great Falls area and can point you to some good people if you need.

I live in the area, I am familiar with managing my mother’s properties along side her and she currently manages one.  

There is a similar duo in my market that I've gotten to work alongside a few times and the arrangement I see with them is that the GC does everything at cost and the partners share the profits (50/50 for them, but whatever makes sense for you guys consider risk exposure and buy-in).A word of caution . . . as I'm sure you know trim carpentry (and any subcontracting trade) IS NOT general contracting and effective labor management. 

@Daniel Petta hey Daniel - I’m a real estate agent in MKE that focuses on out of state investors looking for 8 units or less and work alongside the PM firm Welcome Home Milwaukee.

My family members have decent wages and a lot of cash sitting around, that is why they want to invest along side with me. 

Partner with an experienced investor in your area (humble yourself, listen and learn alongside perhaps invest with them)2.

For me, I had several cracks in my concrete foundation and the sidewalk running alongside the house was several inches above the foundation, so water was pouring in through the brick and over the top of the foundation.One company suggested running tarp (there's a fancier term) along the inside of the problem walls, then drainage tiles to a sump pump. 

I am glad you’re here, to learn alongside these awesome people using context from your market and data analysis.

Will be working alongside 2 other interns to create investment thesis at the end.

This is a tough proposition in a world with such skewed statistics (96% of business tends to be done by 4% of agents, i.e. we have countless fluff in the industry).BP seems to be a good source of both -- connect with some agents or PMs in the market(s) you want to invest in and find the people with the skill and integrity you want, then start getting some momentum in investing alongside them!
