Ken had a job in corporate insurance before making the switch to real estate.

"I just really wanted to be in real estate," Ken told us. "I loved real estate. I was listening to educational CDs on my way back and forth to work. And then five years into a corporate job, I decided, OK, it's now or never. I quit my day job and started the business."

Anita quit her job as a teacher a year later to join him.

The HGTV star said bye-bye to high school math and hello to real estate! She's now had her real estate license for 12 years, and she and Ken couldn't love their current profession any more.

They started flipping houses right as the economy crashed, but say it actually worked to their advantage.

The Corsinis got into the real estate business at a time when most were going out of business. But they say that since they didn't have much experience before the crash, they only knew how to succeed in tough conditions. Plus, Anita points out, "all of the sudden, we found ourselves in a market where there's just cheap houses everywhere." Ken adds, "The volume of houses that were available, it was ridiculous. And the prices that you could get them at was even crazier."

They're longtime fans of the Flip or Flop franchise.

"It's amazing to have been a fan of the show, and now all of the sudden we're in the same franchise," says Anita. Ken adds that he loves to watch the other Flip or Flop series because "it's what we do, day in and day out, so it's always fascinating to see how it's different in every market."
