Built for owners who don’t live here

Many of our clients own from another state and have never had to fly in. Here is how we make distance a non-issue.

You see what we see

Move-in, walk-through, and move-out inspections are documented with photos and video and posted to your owner portal. No guessing about the condition of your property.

Repairs handled by vendors we trust

Repairs, make-readies, and paint go to a short list of vetted, licensed local vendors we work with every week. We get competitive pricing, document the work with photos, and itemize every cost on your statement.

Money moves without you

Rent is collected online, disbursed electronically to your bank, and reported in a monthly statement you can read from any time zone. Your 1099 is ready at year-end.

Two owners, not a call center

Jesse and Pablo live in Bozeman, drive past your property, and personally review every inquiry. Call, text, or email and you get one of us, not a ticket number.

Onboarding happens remotely

Sign the management agreement electronically. We collect keys, photograph and list the property, and coordinate the handoff from your current manager so rent never skips a month.

Montana law, handled

Lawyer-prepared leases, Fair Housing compliance, security-deposit accounting, and eviction coordination when it is ever needed. You don’t need to learn Montana landlord-tenant law from 800 miles away.

From first call to first deposit

Three steps. None of them require a plane ticket.

Appreciation and strong rents

Bozeman & the Gallatin Valley

One of the fastest-growing cities in the Mountain West, with rental demand from Montana State University, Bozeman Health, and a growing tech and outdoor-industry workforce. Low vacancy, premium rents, and long-term appreciation for buy-and-hold investors.

Questions out-of-state owners ask us

Do I ever need to visit my property?

No. Onboarding is done electronically, inspections are documented with photos and video in your owner portal, and every statement and maintenance record is online. Owners visit when they want to, not because they have to.

How and when do I get paid?

Tenants pay online. Once rent clears, your share is disbursed electronically to the bank account you choose, along with a monthly statement showing income, expenses, and maintenance. A 1099 is issued at year-end.

What happens when something breaks at 2 a.m.?

Tenants call our 24/7 emergency line, not you. We dispatch a vetted, licensed local vendor, document the work with photos, and the cost shows up itemized on your statement. Maintenance coordination is included on Signature and Summit and available as an add-on with Essentials.

What if a tenant stops paying?

Automated reminders and late-fee enforcement come first. If it gets to eviction, we coordinate the process under Montana law. Eviction coordination is included on Signature and Summit plans and available for $199 with Essentials. Signature and Summit also carry a tenant guarantee (6 and 12 months) if a tenant we placed leaves early.

Can you take over from my current property manager?

Yes, and this is a common reason owners call us. We coordinate the handoff: tenant notification, keys, security deposits, leases, and records, so there is no gap in rent collection. You keep your existing tenants.

What does it cost?

Three plans: Essentials at 4.9%, Signature at 6.9%, and Summit at 8.9% of monthly rent, each plus a $69/month flat fee. No vacancy fees. Leasing is 50% of one month’s rent and renewals are 25%. Compare every plan detail here. If you own several doors, ask us about portfolio pricing.

What kinds of properties do you manage?

Long-term rentals only: single-family homes, townhomes and condos, and small multi-family buildings in Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, Three Forks, Gallatin Gateway, and Livingston. We do not manage short-term or vacation rentals.

I’m looking at buying in Montana. Can you help before I close?

Yes. Send us the listing and we’ll give you a realistic rent estimate and an honest read on the neighborhood, the likely tenant pool, and what the property will need before it rents. We invest in these markets ourselves.

Get your free rental analysis

Tell us about the property. Within 24 hours you’ll have a rent estimate and the plan we’d recommend, with no obligation and no sales pitch.

  • Realistic rent range based on comparable leases, not a wishful number
  • What the property needs before it rents, and what it would cost to get it there
  • A plan recommendation and total monthly cost, in writing
