Well they've got a freakin nice house and cars. And I think the market crash did hurt, but I think it's a little dramatized. I think it was more like "the market crashed so we just decided to get different jobs" not necessarily that they lost all of their money. One of the things they always mention though is that they have a lot more going on that what you see on the show. They often mention that they're doing multiple flips at one time and all of their money is tied up.

I bet they got pretty rich in real estate and then when it "hit them" they just changed to a different market, flipping. Had to have a bunch of money to get started. They seem to be doing just fine though. The thought of not having money is always there to add drama.

The rich part was mainly a joke, but at the same time, they're probably doing quite well.
