Last, because Bozeman's market is so expensive right now, it may be worth looking at how long you plan to be there between jobs.

However if the property is "managed" by a third party, then it is. So

That's a tall order if you're asking me.What I can never help but wonder is if it is so much work and hassle to find people, people you can trust, people you can work with, people you likely do not already have a relationship with, people you will inevitably take a risk with, why don't more newbie investors attempt to instead pool resources with other people locally???

@Greg Dickerson thank you for the advice, its been a challenge trying to find a good investment company or someone to partner with but I'm up for the challenge, this is why I love commercial real estate bc there is so much to learn.

@Alejandro Stewart It is so impressive that you have been learning about real estate since such a young age.

there is so many out there dont know which one to choose.

Since there is so much equity, you have to figure out why she isn't listing in the MLS.

The guest speakers that come through are always commenting on how large of a group we are and how well run the organization is, so I guess that's a good thing.

Each come with a different set of challenges, like the kind of tenant you'll get, or the condition is so bad, that you may have to sink a bunch of money in areas that don't add value. 

It is so exciting to hear of your success.
