Welcome to the Raising Private Money podcast! In this episode, Kevin Hutty sits down with Jay Conner, also known as the Private Money Authority, to pull back the curtain on one of real estate investing’s most powerful secrets: how to raise and leverage private money for your deals. Jay shares the story of how getting cut off by his bank in 2009 forced him to discover private money – a move that transformed his business, giving him access to over $8.5 million in private funds and changing his investment approach forever.
You’ll hear Jay’s step-by-step process for attracting private lenders, the “secret sauce” to teaching—rather than pitching—investment opportunities, and how he structures deals so that he never has to ask for money or use any of his own capital.
The conversation dives into actionable tips for finding motivated sellers, optimizing your buy-rehab-sell margins, and even automating and scaling your business to work less than 10 hours a week. Jay and Kevin don't shy away from the pitfalls either, discussing common mistakes new investors make and how to build a resilient mindset for long-term success.
