Even though the El Moussas make a significant income from their knowledge of the real estate market, they only receive half the money they make from their houses.
This is because the pair signed a deal with an investor back when they were starting out. Tarek and Christina needed the funds to kickstart their business, which is where their investor came along. They offered to help the pair but wanted to receive half of the couple’s profits from all future houses.

Before the couple even head to the auction, they research as much as they can into the prospective new homes.
Christina has revealed that they find out any hidden secrets about the properties, including any unknown debts or planning issues that owners have had in the past. The designer insists that this is the most important rule to flipping houses. After years of practice, Christina has plenty of secrets up her sleeve to save as much money as possible.
