Now they are working together in real estate investment, they run their projects with military precision.
Their First Home Together was Tiny
As real estate investors, people often assume that they have always lived in amazing houses. However, the first place they shared together was tiny.

He believes that each of the local communities has a different story to tell and he feels blessed that he and Ashley are involved in revitalizing these communities. For Ashley, it is all about the details of the designs. She loves to use textures and to add accessories to the design of the properties they flip.
Real Estate is a Family Affair
Andy and Ashley have two children together; Ashton and Amina. The couple has already got their children involved in running the family business by allowing them to help source houses to buy. On Sundays, the family drives around together looking for potential properties to buy and renovate. The children give their opinions about whether it should be the family’s next endeavor or not. They call it ‘driving for dollars’.
