What did Tarek El Moussa write in his post?

“People will always have something to say about my flips, but guess what…I’m not stopping!! In fact, all the negativity gives me the motivation to keep going and challenges me to go above and beyond at every flip,” he wrote in the caption.

The real investor announced in September this year that he would be releasing a new book in February 2024, 'FLIP YOUR LIFE: How to Find Opportunity in Distress—in Real Estate, Business, and Life', in which he will open up about private incidents from his past and explain how he was able to overcome those hardships.

In the upcoming memoir, the TEM Capital founder will provide an insight to his addiction to steroids after facing testicular and thyroid cancer, in addition to his “very public” divorce from Hall, from whom he split in 2016.

The exes share two children together, Taylor, 13, and Brayden, eight, and Tarek also has a nine-month-old son named Tristan with wife Heather.
