Current Board of Directors

Patrick McGowen describes himself as an income statement investor, while most investors are balance sheet investors.  "Instead of valuing your portfolio on what you could sell it for today, you should value it on how much income it is producing."  Patrick is also a fan of private investments (Main Street is better than Wall Street).  He purchase his first private investment in 2010, a buy and hold duplex.  Since then he continues to grow his portfolio with buy and hold rentals, personal lending (including hard money loans) and small business ownership.  Some of these are in partnerships and syndication.  His day job is brokering business deals: http://www.bozemanbusinessbrokers.com/   

Kaiden Batzler is a full-time real estate professional based in Bozeman, Montana. He grew up in a small Montana town and has a background in contracting and small business. His investing experience spans stocks, crypto, NFTs, and hands-on trades work, but his focus today is on building a long-term real estate portfolio. He’s actively growing his investment base through buy-and-hold properties, value-add residential deals, and real estate-backed business opportunities. Outside of work, he spends most of his time with his loving girlfriend and dog, and enjoys the outdoors as a way to stay connected to the Montana lifestyle he grew up with. He’s always game to connect over coffee, a hike, or a conversation about investing and life!
