June 7, 2022/

- “We’ve had an influx of all sorts of wealthy individuals looking for ranches,” Robert Keith, founder of boutique investment firm Beartooth Group, told CNBC.
- But as rich buyers move in, and the state’s population grows, native Montanans and others on the lower end of the income spectrum are feeling the squeeze from higher rents and property prices.
