The stock market crash led the couple to move out of their Anaheim Hills home into a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate (via Good Housekeeping).
Christina Anstead had briefly moved away from the real estate game, but was talking about a return to house flipping when a friend mentioned casting for a show called House Flippers. Anstead was seven months pregnant with their first child when they filmed their first footage in hopes of being cast.
Anstead recalled in a since-deleted Instagram caption celebrating Flip Or Flop's success, "I can still vividly picture making a pitch video for flip or flop in 2010. I was pregnant with Tay sitting on the couch in our San Clemente condo (with a home video camera on us) wondering what crazy idea Tarek was getting me into now. I was thinking no way will this go anywhere but whatever, I'm usually never not down to give something a shot."
