Miller Bates is a private money lender headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Montana is one of the ten states we lend into. We finance Billings, Missoula, Bozeman, Kalispell, and Great Falls, and we look at deals across Yellowstone, Missoula, Gallatin, and Flathead counties as well as smaller markets throughout the state.

Montana projects — particularly land and resort-adjacent development around Bozeman, Whitefish, and the Flathead Valley — are often difficult to place with conventional lenders. Asset-backed bridge capital fills that gap.

Loans typically run $750,000 to $4,000,000, with rates of 10%–13%, LTV of up to 65%, and terms of 3–12 months with optional 1–12 month extensions. Every loan is secured by a first-position deed of trust on real property plus the borrower's personal guaranty, and every loan closes through a title company and an attorney.
