Welcome to Missoula Real Estate Meetup
The Missoula Real Estate Meetup has three main goals:
1. Learn more about the Missoula Market
2. Make authentic connections
3. Share strategies and information
As always, there will be no selling of any products or services, and it's always free to attend.
We meet the third Tuesday of every month at the Highlander, at 6:00 PM. We usually have 20-30 attendees.
If you're interested, enter your email below, and we'll send you an invite.
Upcoming Speakers
We always start with a guest speaker that has been recommended by a member as an experienced and connected member of the Missoula Real Estate industry (Ex. property manager, developer, agent, title insurance, lawyer, home insurance, etc.). There is usually between 15-30 minutes of a presentation, then some question and answer time. We spend the rest of the time making friends, drinking beer, discussing deals, and potential partnerships. Our upcoming speakers are below:
Sarah Kassem- December 16th
Investor and Engineer
NOTE- This meetup will be located at 6:00 PM at Main Street Realty Downtown, 113 Main St. Suite B, just go inside the first door and head downstairs! BYOB
Sarah is a civil engineer and multifamily real estate investor living in Missoula, MT. She has three multifamily properties in Missoula and works for a national consulting engineering firm as a coastal and hydraulic engineer where she models river and coastal flooding, and designs restoration projects. Soon after jumping into real estate, Sarah quickly realized that all her experience in modeling complex flooding and hydraulics easily transferred to analyzing the financials of large multifamily and development projects. In addition to her full time engineering role, Sarah is the lead underwriter for Upslope Group where she has developed the proforma for a complex multi-phase Factory-Built Home Development project.
In this talk Sarah will go over the fundamentals to analyzing real estate deals and developing proformas for estimating project and partner returns that can be applied to a range of real estate types including multifamily, development, and industrial.
