Photo: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic After drug dens, SWAT raids, and charges of arson and murder-for-hire plots, the tenants of a North Hollywood building had been through it all.

El Moussa, 41, who stars in HGTV’s The Flipping El Moussas, first made a name for himself when he starred in the same channel’s Flip or Flop with his then-wife, Christina Anstead, 40.
