Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Bozeman, MT

Bozeman, Montana's fourth-largest city, is home to Montana State University, the state's largest university, on the south side of town. Its top employers include Bozeman Health and the university. Investors buy rentals near the campus and older homes in the Bon Ton Historic District, which has houses from the early 1880s to the mid-1930s. Because Montana taxes short-term rentals at a higher rate than enrolled long-term rentals, the rental plan changes the numbers.

Good to know

Before you buy in Bozeman

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Bozeman and Gallatin County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • If you plan a short-term rental, budget for the higher state rate: in 2026 short-term rentals and second homes are taxed at a flat 1.90%, while enrolled long-term rentals start at 0.76% on the first $378,000 of market value.
  • Enroll each long-term rental for Montana's reduced tax rate: it must be rented 28 days or more at a time, for at least 7 months a year, as the tenant's home. LLC-owned property qualifies, and the 2027 enrollment window runs from May 4, 2026 to March 1, 2027.
  • There's no transfer tax to budget: Montana's constitution bars any state or local tax on the sale or transfer of real property.
