If you’ve ever dreamed of investing in real estate but felt paralyzed by the belief that “only people with money can make money,” you’re not alone. The overwhelming majority of aspiring investors—and even many seasoned ones—believe the greatest barrier to entry is lack of funding. But as revealed on the Raising Private Money Podcast, that’s not the whole story. In fact, most people are asking the wrong questions.

What is Private Money, Really?
For many, “Private Money” conjures images of sophisticated, wealthy financiers or shadowy institutional backers. But according to Jay Conner, that’s a misconception. Private Money is not about banks, hard money lenders, or institutional lines of credit. Instead, it’s sourced from “ordinary human beings”—friends, acquaintances, professionals in your network, and even people you play golf with—who are simply seeking better returns than what’s available from a certificate of deposit or the unpredictable stock market.

Serving, Not Selling: The Mindset Shift
Perhaps the most powerful insight from the conversation is the shift from scarcity (“I need money for a deal!”) to service (“Let me help you get better returns”). Desperation, Jay warns, “has a smell to it.” The worst time to raise Private Money is when you’re frantically seeking funds for a deal under contract. Instead, line up capital before the need arises. This mindset—owning “the real estate between your ears”—turns you into an educator and problem-solver, not a salesperson.

How do you start? Simple, clear communication and education. Jay uses a 20-minute “Private Lender Presentation,” keeping things accessible and straightforward. No fancy applications, no convoluted sales pitches—just a conversation about how your opportunity can solve their problem.

The Power of Relationship and Referrals
Another golden nugget: Ask for referrals, not handouts. When Jay first started, he approached people not to ask them directly for money, but to request their help in spreading the word about his investing opportunity. More often than not, this indirect approach led to those very people expressing interest themselves.

Why does this work? It removes pressure and creates curiosity, shifting the dynamic from “sales” to “service.” People are far more willing to engage and invest when they feel they’ve entered the process on their own terms.

When it comes to deploying capital, treat your lenders like VIPs: prioritize new lenders to “prove you can perform,” keep your offers conservative to manage risk, and always structure win-win deals.

Educate your partners on deal structure, protection (like being named on insurance policies and title), and realistic returns.
