Montana Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size Montana rental deals.
Montana's DSCR market is anchored by Billings (industrial/medical) at the high cap rate end and Bozeman (Yellowstone Club + MSU) at the premium-pricing end. Missoula and Great Falls offer middle-ground LTR demand. Mountain-resort STR (Whitefish, Big Sky) produces strong DSCR with seasonal vacancy modeling required.
Major Montana Markets We Fund
Active DSCR deal flow across Montana's core rental markets. Same requirements — 1.2 DSCR, 680+ FICO, 20–25% down — apply statewide.
| Metro | Median Price | Gross Yield | DSCR Investor Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billings | $335K | 6.0–7.5% | Largest MT market — energy/medical employment, BRRRR-friendly stock |
| Missoula | $425K | 5.0–6.0% | University of Montana + healthcare, premium LTR pricing |
| Great Falls | $265K | 7.0–8.5% | Malmstrom AFB military demand, lowest entry price in major MT metros |

Montana Eviction Timeline & Landlord Posture
How Montana courts handle non-payment evictions — material to DSCR loss-severity assumptions.
Montana requires a 3-day notice for non-payment. District court eviction hearings typically resolve within 14–21 days of filing.
Montana Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Smaller, less-liquid market means modest lender premium; mountain-resort markets price additional STR volatility.
Final pricing depends on FICO, LTV, DSCR, property type, and program. Baseline national DSCR refi rates start at 6.25% as of May 2026.
