In a rapidly evolving real estate market, traditional bank loans and financing structures are no longer the only avenues for investors seeking capital. Private Money lending has emerged as a transformative, flexible solution for funding real estate deals—and no one is more passionate or experienced in this field than Jay Conner, a nationally renowned real estate investor.

On the latest episode of the Raising Private Money Podcast, together with Kristy Aasheim, Jay Conner delivers a masterclass on raising and leveraging Private Money to supercharge your investment success.

The Turning Point: From Traditional Financing to Private Money
Like many investors, Jay Conner started out using traditional bank loans and lines of credit to finance deals. But everything changed for him in early 2009 when his local bank unexpectedly pulled his line of credit—leaving him at risk of losing lucrative deals. Within two weeks,

Jay Conner discovered the world of Private Money: an approach that allows investors to fund deals through individuals seeking better returns for their capital and retirement funds. In 90 short days, Jay Conner raised more than $2 million, purely through his own network, a move that transformed his business and allowed him to never miss out on a deal due to lack of funding again.

What Exactly Is Private Money Lending?
Private Money lending is when individuals—not institutions—provide funding to real estate investors. These private lenders, often retired teachers or local professionals, act as the bank for investors. They invest their money in real estate deals in exchange for a fixed, predictable return, typically 8% annually, all secured by the property’s value through legal documents like promissory notes and deeds of trust.

Jay Conner makes it clear that private lenders do not receive a share of the deal’s profit or equity—they simply earn interest on their “loan,” much like a bank, but usually at a significantly better rate than traditional CDs or savings accounts. And, crucially, private lenders’ investment is secured by the actual real estate, reducing risk for both parties.

Key Strategies for Attracting Private Money
A major pitfall for new capital raisers is focusing solely on pitching deals or “selling” the opportunity. Jay Conner stresses that the real key is to teach and offer the opportunity, not aggressively pursue or pressure potential lenders. In his words: “We’re not talking anybody into anything. We’re solving a problem.”

Mindset and Ethics in Private Lending
One of the most powerful lessons from Jay Conner is the importance of mindset and ethical responsibility. Instead of chasing or begging, approach Private Money with a spirit of helping. Many of Jay Conner’s deals, especially those involving sellers in foreclosure, are structured not only for investor profit but also to provide a genuine lifeline to distressed homeowners. He insists that you can “never go wrong when you’re leading with a servant’s heart.”
