Introduction

Tarek El Moussa is an American real estate investor and television personality with an estimated net worth of $15 Million.

Career

Before becoming a hit on HGTV, Tarek El Moussa got his start as a real estate agent at the age of 21 in 2002.

El Moussa enjoyed an extremely lucrative career at that time, selling multi-million dollar mansions in California that only Beyonce or Drake could afford!

Unfortunately, the housing crisis of 2008 hit him hard, and he was forced to downgrade from a $6k/month home to a $700/month rental.

At one point, Tarek and his wife, Christina Hall, even had to share $5 footlongs from Subway because they couldn’t afford two!

Thankfully, this period of hardship enabled them to come up with a new strategy for making money: flipping houses.

Flip Or Flop

During the couple’s first house flip, Tarek El Moussa set an audition tape to HGTV that followed their progress.

The tape demonstrated their flipping progress from start to finish and was pitched as a potential series idea.

His idea was picked up as the original in the Flip or Flop franchise, and it made its debut on the channel in 2013.

On the show, Tarek and his wife would find and completely renovate homes to try and sell them for a profit.

In 2022, after ten sessions, it was announced by HGTV that the series would be ending, though it isn’t the only series El Moussa has.

Flip Or Flop Follow-Up

Started in 2015, this show only got one season, though many fans want to see its format return.

In this show, Tarek and Christina revisit some of their most challenging flips with behind-the-scenes clips and in-depth analysis of the process.

The goal of this show was to cover what was cut from previously aired episodes to give viewers a better understanding of the flipping process.

While there are only six episodes total, Follow-Up helped further El Moussa’s reputation on HGTV.

Tarek’s Flip Side

Unlike Flip or Flop, Flip Side revolves around Tarek El Moussa’s personal life, giving fans a glimpse of his past.

The show also features episodes about his daily life, family, and how he spends his free time.

It also gave fans a look at his relationship with real estate agent and actress Heather Rae Young following his divorce from Christina Hall.

Although not as popular as his proper flipping shows, Tarek’s Flip Side still did well despite not receiving a second season.

Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa

Debuting in 2021, Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa revolves around the house-flipping mogul teaching others the tricks of the trade.

In the show, El Moussa works with several novices looking to successfully flip houses for themselves.

Having just finished its third season, it is expected to receive a fourth, thanks to its popularity.

The Flipping El Moussas

Since ending Flip or Flop, El Moussa has gone on to create another show with his wife, Heather Rae.

Starting a new chapter on HGTV, the pair co-host Tarek’s newest series, and it’s a bit of a mash-up of Flip or Flop and Flip Side.

While it does feature the couple flipping houses, it also documents their lives in a reality-style fashion.

Season one ends with the pair’s final flip before the birth of their son, and season two is slated for a 2024 release.
