When the housing market plummeted after the October 2008 stock market crash, their real estate business suffered.

In 2010, the couple, along with their business partner, Pete de Best, bought their first investment property in Santa Ana, Calif., for $115,000, selling the property for a profit of $34,000. The trio continued to flip houses, expanding their real-estate investing business into Arizona and Nevada.

On a spontaneous whim, Tarek asked a friend to help him make an audition tape for HGTV. The pal filmed an entire episode of the process of house flipping from start to finish. As a result, the tape was sent to a production company without anyone believing that it would be of much interest to them. However, the production company, Pie Town Productions, loved it. HGTV producers had also noticed the couple's Instagram profile, which featured before and after profiles of many of the renovation projects they had undertaken.
