What owners should plan for
- Pricing from local comparables. Three Forks rents differ from Bozeman’s and Belgrade’s. Every plan includes an annual market rent analysis.
- Marketing across the valley. Applicants often search Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan and Three Forks together, so clear photos and accurate listings matter. Professional photography is included on Signature and Summit and is $349 on Essentials.
- Seasonal care. Irrigation, snow and ice, and furnace service. Lawn and snow coordination is included on Signature and Summit (vendor cost separate) and is $49/mo plus vendor cost on Essentials.
- Consistent screening. Every applicant is screened for credit, criminal, eviction, income and rental history against the same written criteria.
