Monte Anderson
Developer and Owner
Options Real Estate

Anderson is a helper at heart, and often invests his time and money in entrepreneurs he believes in, many of whom rent space from him at Tyler Station—the mixed-use “collaborative village” that’s home to artisans, craftspeople, creatives, and entrepreneurs—and other developments.
“I’m always trying to get the artists and the craftsmen to own real estate so they can build wealth and get a piece of the action,” Anderson says.
What makes him different from other investors, he says, is he has no interest in long-term, high-interest loans, nor in having equity in a company or entrepreneur.
