Though his ex has moved on and enjoying a new marriage, El Moussa isn’t in a rush. When asked in the SheKnows interview if his new digital series will feature him going on dates, he replied, “No, because I’m just not there yet, in a personal place to take on that challenge of falling in love again because that sounds like a big mountain to climb.”

Finding love again may not be his priority at the moment, but El Moussa definitely has a focus. “Right now, I’m just putting all my love towards my kids and every extra ounce of energy I have goes towards building my brand and just becoming better at who I am,” he told SheKnows. “I’m sure one day when the dust settles, I might get lonely and look for someone.”

Mentoring other flippers

In the SheKnows interview conducted earlier this month, ElMoussa had discussed his hopes for getting the show where he mentors aspiringhouse flippers. “There’s no name; I shot the pilot episode — which the reviewsI’ve been getting are very, very good. I think there’s a good chance you mightsee a series,” he said at the time. Now that Flipping 101 w/Tarek El Moussahas been greenlighted, El Moussa said in a statement, “”Now I get to helpfirst-time flippers learn the ropes, find the best property deals and show themhow to make the most profit on their investment.”

El Moussa talked to SheKnows about some of the mistakes rookies make in the house flipping business. “They pay too much for the house and they don’t calculate all the costs involved on top of the construction,” he said, also offering tips to succeed. “My key to success is if someone’s putting in a 10-hour day, I’m going to put in a 20-hour day, which means I’m putting in twice as much time, which means I’m going to improve twice as fast.”

The reality star has a passion for mentoring others in the real estate business, which is why he was pushing for Flipping 101.  “I love coaching. For me, the reason I’m successful is because I started being coached at a very young age,” he told SheKnows. “I’ve always wanted to do this type of show and the opportunity came up and I jumped on it. Nothing sounds more exciting than to take someone that’s new to real estate and flipping and giving everything I can to help them make a profit.”
