Dedric and Krystal Polite are the husband-and-wife real estate powerhouse and stars of the hit show 50/50 Flip. After corporate layoffs, betrayal from business partners, and building from nothing, they turned their relationship into a multi-million dollar brand, without losing their marriage in the process.
