Private Money Strategies for Off-Market Real Estate Deals from Jay Conner and Jeremy Beland


In the world of real estate investing, the ability to raise and utilize private money can be transformative. Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority, engages in an enlightening conversation with Jeremy Beland, a seasoned real estate investor, about their journey in leveraging private money to build lucrative real estate portfolios. This blog post delves into the key insights and strategies discussed in their podcast episode, focusing on raising private money, educating potential lenders, and maximizing off-market deals.

Understanding the Concept of Private Money

The Foundation of Private Money

Private money refers to capital sourced from private individuals rather than traditional financial institutions. It allows real estate investors to fund their deals without the stringent requirements and red tape associated with bank loans. Jay Conner emphasizes that private money is vital for investors who want to avoid the hassle of traditional financing methods and need quick access to funds.

The Misconceptions About Private Lenders

Jeremy Beland dispels the myth that private lenders are always highly sophisticated, extremely wealthy individuals. Through his experience, Jeremy has found that private lenders are often regular people within one’s network. These individuals might have savings in retirement accounts, home equity, or other untapped financial resources that they wish to invest for higher returns.

Educating and Engaging Potential Private Lenders

The Importance of Education

One of the standout points in the podcast is the emphasis on educating prospective private lenders. Jeremy recounts how he would create brochures outlining deal details, projected returns, and property pictures to inform potential lenders. Educating them not only builds trust but also demystifies the investment process, making them more comfortable and likely to invest.

Utilizing Social Media to Build Credibility

Both Jay and Jeremy highlight the power of social media in establishing credibility and attracting private lenders. By consistently sharing details of deals closed, properties under contract, and success stories, investors can demonstrate their expertise and reliability. Jeremy mentions how posting regularly about his deals helped build his reputation, leading to people reaching out to him with investment interests.

Strategies for Raising Private Money

Start with Your Existing Network

Jeremy’s advice for new investors is straightforward: begin by reaching out to contacts within your cell phone and social media network. He learned that often, individuals who seem unlikely to have investment funds might have savings or equity they are willing to invest. Not prejudging potential lenders can uncover unexpected opportunities.

One-on-One Meetings and Luncheons

Jay Conner shares his approach to educating potential lenders through one-on-one meetings at local cafes like Starbucks or organizing private lender luncheons. These settings provide a relaxed environment to explain the investment opportunity, answer questions, and build a personal connection.

Maximizing Profits Through Off-Market Deals

The Power of Off-Market Acquisitions

Jeremy Beland and his wife have thrived by mastering off-market acquisitions. These deals, not listed on the multiple listing service (MLS), often come with better negotiation opportunities and lower competition. Jay Conner and Jeremy agree that honing skills in off-market acquisition sales is pivotal for success in real estate investing.

Pre-Marketing on MLS for Higher Returns

Jeremy introduces a strategy of pre-marketing deals on the MLS to maximize returns. With proper legal language and documentation, pre-marketing allows investors to attract a broader audience, potentially leading to higher sale prices. This approach helped Jeremy increase his assignment fees significantly, from $20,000 to $35,000 per deal.

Building a Sustainable Real Estate Business Model

Long-Term Benefits of Private Money

Private money has been instrumental in Jeremy’s significant business growth, propelling him from a half-million-dollar wholesaling operation to a seven-figure real estate business. By having access to private funds, he can now selectively stay in deals, wholesale them for higher profits, or add valuable properties to his rental portfolio.

Continual Learning and Adaptation

Jeremy’s journey underscores the importance of continual education and adaptation. Learning from other experts, attending seminars, and constantly refining acquisition and disposition strategies have enabled him to stay competitive and maximize his business’s potential.

Conclusion

The conversation between Jay Conner and Jeremy Beland offers valuable insights for both novice and seasoned real estate investors. By understanding and leveraging private money, educating potential lenders, using social media for credibility, and mastering off-market acquisitions, investors can significantly enhance their success and profitability. For those aspiring to scale their real estate business, adopting these strategies can be a game-changer.
