How did the Cheap Old Houses Instagram account get started?

According to HGTV, Ethan and Elizabeth started their popular Instagram account back in 2016. While neither of them are realtors, Elizabeth has a Master's degree in historical preservation and Ethan has marketing experience. Combined, their skills allowed the Cheap Old Houses page to reach millions of people, and their mutual love for "historic" real estate and "nostalgia-inducing old buildings" has even brought the couple closer together.
