“Revolutionize Investing With Private Money with Jay Conner!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVMKVZhLv4&t=1425s
Jay Conner did not start with a Rolodex full of eager lenders. In fact, he shared how, for years, he relied on traditional banking relationships for his real estate deals—until everything changed during the 2009 financial crisis. When his go-to line of credit was suddenly yanked with no warning, Jay had two deals under contract and nowhere to turn for funding.
What seemed like a crisis quickly turned into the opportunity of a lifetime: the discovery of private money. Unlike hard money or institutional funds, private money comes from individuals—ordinary people with capital in investment accounts or retirement funds, seeking better returns.
The "Never Ask" Method: Attracting Private Lenders
One of the most surprising aspects of Jay Conner’s approach is that he never asks for money. Instead, he separates the conversation between teaching prospects about private lending and presenting them with deals.
Here’s how it works:
Education First: Jay Conner puts on his “teacher hat” and educates potential lenders about what private money is, how the process works, and the safety and returns they can expect. There’s no property or deal discussed at this point—just learning.
Find Out Their Capability:
Prospective lenders are invited to share how much they might be interested in investing and whether it’s in cash or retirement funds.
The "Good News" Phone Call:
When a suitable deal arises, Jay Conner calls the investor and announces, "I can now put your money to work." He specifies the amount, property, and closing details—but never asks, “Would you like to fund this deal?” The deal matches the criteria already discussed, so moving forward is a logical next step.
Why Private Money Changes Everything
Jay Conner emphasized that with private money, real estate entrepreneurs are no longer at the mercy of strict lender requirements. "In this world, the lender does not make the rules. We make the rules. We set the interest rate, we set the terms," he explained. This only works, he notes, when you’re educating people who haven’t yet heard about private lending.
And the benefits aren’t exclusive to investors. Many of Jay Conner’s private lenders have written him heartfelt notes about the life-changing impact of reliable, higher returns—often turning stagnant CDs or underperforming stocks into vehicles for financial freedom.
Golden Lessons and Pitfalls to Avoid
For those just starting, Jay Conner strongly recommends finding a mentor or partnering with those who have experience: “The first six years I was out here on an island by myself, wasting and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars… Join hips with somebody... that can hold your hand, for goodness sakes, get a mentor coach, without a doubt.”
And remember: every property should be analyzed so it cash flows as a rental, even if your exit strategy is to flip. "Don’t do it unless you can cash flow it if you’ve got to rent it out,” Jay Conner warns, sharing hard lessons from his early career.
