You might know Tarek El Moussa from “Flip or Flop” and Heather Rae El Moussa from “Selling Sunset,” but now that they’re hitched, of course, it was inevitable that they’d have their own show together, “The Flipping El Moussas.”
Yet, while one might presume their combined expertise and experience might instantly gush real estate gold, their show’s premiere suggests they’ve got some growing pains to get through first.
In the first episode, rightly called “Our First Flip,” we find Tarek and Heather Rae (then pregnant with their first child) about to embark on their initial renovation together.
It’s a four-bedroom, three-bath midcentury modern house in Silver Lake, an increasingly hip suburb of Los Angeles. Tarek’s company, Tarek Sells Houses, has paid an eye-watering $2.15 million for the home. They’re hoping to fix it up and sell it for around $3,100,000, netting about a $400,000 profit.
