“1624: Private Money Real Estate Funding Secrets with Jay Conner ”
https://www.youtube.com/@RobertPlank
What is Private Money?
The term “Private Money” gets thrown around a lot in investing circles, but there are important distinctions to be made. As Jay Conner points out, Private Money is not hard money. Hard money typically comes from an institutional lender or broker who raises funds from individuals and then lends those funds at high interest rates with fees attached.
By contrast, Private Money involves a direct one-on-one transaction between the investor and an individual lender. There’s no broker, no middleman, and no inflated rates or origination fees. The lender could use either their personal savings or even their retirement funds, transferred into a self-directed IRA.
With Private Money, the lender enjoys attractive returns (Jay offers 8% and never charges points) and the borrower gets speed and flexibility. The lender doesn’t own part of the property; they are simply acting like a bank, backed by collateral and secured with promissory notes and insurance.
When to Use Private Money vs. Bank Financing
One key decision for investors is when to use Private Money and when traditional financing makes sense. The answer? It all depends on your exit strategy. For quick flips or BRRRR deals, Private Money is ideal due to the speed at which you can close (sometimes in seven days) and the ability to negotiate directly without institutional constraints. If your goal is to hold and rent long-term, you could use Private Money to acquire and renovate the property, then refinance later with a traditional lender for the long-term hold.
Connecting with Private Lenders: The Power of Education
Perhaps the most surprising revelation from Jay Conner was that 47 unique individuals have lent him money over the years, and not one had heard of private lending before he explained it to them. The secret isn’t salesmanship—it’s education. Jay approaches his network not as a salesperson, but as a teacher, diagnosing their investment “problems” and offering private lending as a safe, lucrative solution. Everyday conversations about financial goals open the door; if someone isn’t satisfied with their returns elsewhere, Jay presents his opportunity.
Structuring Deals & Protecting Everyone Involved
Private Money works for all kinds of real estate—single-family homes, commercial properties, land, and more. For single-family homes, Jay structures the loan. Hence, the lender receives the same protections a bank would—collateralized notes, insurance, and first position on the deed. For larger commercial or apartment deals, things get more complex. They may require funds pooled from multiple lenders, triggering SEC regulations.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Where do investors go wrong in Private Money deals? Overpaying is the most common mistake. Emotion should never drive the offer—strict formulas and conservative loan-to-value ratios keep both parties safe. Borrowing no more than 75% of the after-repair value builds in a powerful equity cushion.
