Is the Bozeman market sill hot? Will we see a softening in prices or rents? Are there any properties out there that would make sense for an investor? Hear from active Bozeman Real Estate Agents about the current market and what they see coming. We will have an expert panel, with some prepared comments, but mostly a time for question answer. So come loaded with your questions.
We will go over several currently or recently available syndications, lending opportunities, and other non-wall street investments put together by other people.

Presentation and tasting (not sure if they are bringing brandy or vodka or both) from Pink Bench Distilling. Space limited, RSVP with Pat please. Of the three main categories of local investing (real estate, lending and business), investing passively in business is the most challenging. They have created an opportunity for retail investors to participate through crowdfunding (sidenote, we will have a speaker on crowdfunding at our May meeting; crowdfunding is a tool to raise OPM and can be used for real estate as well). Pink Bench is taking on investors. You can find more about the opportunity here. https://crowdfundmontana.com/campaigns/41t8oubg

What about this year, what to you need to accomplish to stay on target. There will be a brief discussion of how to build a financial plan, and then individual and small group work to help you start to flesh your plan out; or improve your existing plan.
Will inflation continue to run hot? What can we expect for interest rates in the coming years? Are we headed for a recession nationally... or globally? Understanding the national and global economic outlook will help you with your local investing.
