Exploring the Power of Private Money Lending for Real Estate Investments

Jay Conner, renowned as the “Private Money Authority,” recently graced the “Money with Mission” podcast hosted by Dr. Felicia Froe. During the episode, Jay delved into the transformative power of private money lending, sharing his journey from relying on traditional bank loans to becoming a successful advocate and educator in private money. This blog post unpacks the wisdom shared by Jay Conner, offering actionable insights for real estate investors and potential private lenders alike.

 

A Turning Point in Jay Conner’s Journey

The Bank Collapse and a Search for Solutions

Jay Conner’s real estate career, which began in 2003, took a dramatic turn after the 2008 financial crisis. By January 2009, Jay faced an abrupt financial dilemma: his bank unexpectedly severed his line of credit. With two houses under contract and no traditional financing available, Jay found himself questioning how to overcome this seemingly insurmountable obstacle. It wasn’t about “how” he would resolve it, but “who” could assist him.

 

Discovering Private Money Lending

A pivotal conversation with his friend Jeff Blankenship introduced Jay to the concept of private money, including the use of self-directed IRAs. This option allowed individuals to lend their retirement funds for investments. Jay’s curiosity led him to research and ultimately master the private money lending model, paving the way for his remarkable success in raising funds.

 

Crafting a New Financial Path

The Power of Raising Private Money

Jay’s in-depth understanding and strategy for private money paid off quickly. Within 90 days, he raised $2,150,000, far surpassing his previous $1 million bank credit. This success was a game-changer during a time when conventional loans were nearly impossible to secure.

 

Shifting from Borrower to Educator

Acknowledging the transformative effect private money lending had on his business, Jay transitioned into a teaching role. By focusing on education rather than solicitation, he attracted investments organically. He emphasized the importance of leading with a servant’s heart and sharing knowledge about private money lending’s benefits to potential investors.

 

Strategies and Practices for Real Estate Investors

Practical Approaches to Real Estate Deals

Jay leverages private money to fund fix-and-flip deals, averaging a profit of $82,000 per deal. He typically conducts two to three deals per month, amounting to approximately 30 deals annually. Additionally, Jay employs creative financing techniques, purchasing single-family homes on terms and then offering them on lease purchase or rent-to-own agreements.

 

Navigating the Market Landscape

Jay’s strategy involves acquiring off-market properties, crucial amidst low inventory scenarios. The speed of acquisition, facilitated by private funding, often leads to substantial profits. He cited a recent condo flip netting $160,000, showcasing the effectiveness of his methods.

 

The Dual Roles in Real Estate: Lenders and Investors

Opportunities for Private Lenders

Dr. Felicia Froe highlighted the significance of financial independence, especially for women, advocating for investments in cash-flowing assets. Jay further explained that self-directed IRAs, an IRS-approved entity, enable individuals to diversify their investments and achieve higher returns compared to traditional retirement funds. Since 2009, Jay has consistently offered returns of 8%-10% to his lenders.

 

The Role of Networking and Education

Both speakers underscored the importance of networking and education in real estate. Jay noted that 99% of people, including financial advisors, are unaware of self-directed IRAs and private money lending. Educating potential investors using conversation starters like “Did you know?” questions can pique interest and open up new financial avenues.

 

Personal Stories and Ethical Investing

A Relational Approach to Networking

Jay shared a personal story about leveraging community ties to engage potential investors without directly asking for money. His approach involves educating and building relationships, which organically leads to investment opportunities. This strategy not only lowers the ask but also fosters ethical responsibility in sharing financial knowledge.

 

Fulfilling Financial Goals through Service

Reflecting on his motivations, Jay stressed the importance of pursuing endeavors that extend beyond personal gain. A money-only focus often leads to dissatisfaction, whereas a purpose-driven approach, aiming to help others, naturally brings about personal and financial fulfillment.

 

Conclusion: Embracing Private Money Lending

Jay Conner’s insights on private money lending offer a roadmap for securing financial independence and making impactful real estate investments. By learning and leveraging private money, investors can navigate unpredictable financial landscapes with greater confidence and success. Engaging in private money challenges, like Jay’s “7 Day Private Money Challenge,” provides an educational platform for both potential private lenders and investors to begin their journey toward financial freedom.
