Welcome to The Private Money Show with Jay Conner, where we cut through the noise to give you the truth about real estate investing—and the tools you need to succeed.

The Power of a Solid Plan
Jay Conner, a master in real estate investing, emphasizes the importance of having a concrete plan when seeking private money. He outlines three fundamental steps to success:
- Writing Down a Plan:
Clearly articulate your goals, strategies, and the milestones you aim to achieve. This written plan acts as your roadmap, ensuring you remain focused and organized.
