Ashley and Antonio Denmark are a power couple team that’s passionate about investing in real estate and helping others. They’re best known for their lease option strategy and in 2009, they turned this real estate side hustle into a full-time operation after Ashley was laid off from her corporate America job. In this episode, the Denmarks discuss why it’s so important to not let analysis paralysis stop you from becoming a real estate investor. The number one key to success is you have to take the first step, and then take the next step, and then that’s when you learn a thing or two along the way.
