Tarek, 43, tours a home in Orange, CA, with his friend and colleague Adam Lindholm, who is president of his real estate investment firm, TEM Capital. The duo cannot agree on whether the $710,000 property would be a good investment, even after a lengthy conversation about the price and the potential to extend the abode with a 400-square-foot bonus room.
Tarek takes the rather risky step of using a coin flip to make the decision for him, telling Lindholm that if it lands on heads, he'll buy the home for the full asking price. Lo and behold, the coin lands on heads, and true to his words, Tarek makes an offer on the home, before heading off to tell his wife.
Tarek seems taken aback by his wife's less-than-positive reaction and continues to explain himself, telling her that he bought 'the one I just looked at with Adam in Orange.' The confirmation of the home's location does little to calm Heather's temper, and she proceeds to grill him.
Heather wonders why he even put in an offer if he wasn't sure of the home's potential: 'Wait, then why did we buy it?' At this point, Tarek is backed into a corner and is forced to detail the unusual methods he employed to make the decision.
