While it is convenient to think about investing in urban areas where the people are, it still does not diminish how the grass can also be greener on the other side—that is, in rural areas. This episode’s guest testifies to that. Paul Lizell interviews Tyler Thompson, a military veteran turned full-time real estate investor. He lives in Bentonville, Arkansas, where he fixes and flips in two markets and owns several Airbnb properties. Tyler talks about why he chose to invest in rural Arkansas and explains the good demand for short-term rentals due to mountain biking trails in the area. He also imparts some different software programs out there that make it really simple to adjust rates automatically. More than being an investor, Tyler also runs a residential and commercial roofing company. His sales have really grown over the past three years, increasing from $1 million in 2017 to $4.5 million in 2019. Tyler further shares how he manages running multiple businesses and making them successful.
