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.

What if you could fund every deal you wanted, eliminate your competition, and grow your business faster than you ever thought possible?
Each week, Jay Conner—the Private Money Authority—shares exactly how to raise private money to fund your deals, close more opportunities, and build a thriving, consistent real estate business. Jay has been in the trenches of real estate investing full-time since 2003, and he’s still doing it every day. He knows what works, what doesn’t, and how to help you stop chasing bad advice from so-called “gurus” who haven’t done a deal in years.

Transform Your Financial Future: Eric Vogel’s Strategies and Jay Conner’s Real Estate Insights
In the latest episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, renowned private money authority Jay Conner sits down with Eric Vogel, a high school teacher turned real estate investor, who shares his incredible journey to financial independence and freedom. This episode is an eye-opener for anyone looking to achieve their own FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) through real estate.
The Journey Begins: From High School to High Profits
Eric Vogel and his wife were high school teachers who decided to pivot their careers toward real estate investment. Within just four years, they grew their business to seven figures—a testament to their dedication, strategic planning, and unwavering intention. Their story is a powerful example of how setting actionable goals and focusing on intention can accelerate your path to financial success.
The Accidental Landlords: Discovering the BRRRR Strategy
What started as an accidental rental property quickly evolved into a sophisticated real estate investment strategy. Eric and his wife capitalized on the BRRRR method—Buy, Rent, Rehab, Refinance, Repeat—to rapidly grow their portfolio and achieve financial freedom. This strategy not only helped them accumulate multiple properties but also offered them a steady cash flow, contributing to their financial independence.
Defining Your Financial Goals: From LeanFIRE to FatFIRE
One of the key takeaways from Eric's journey is the importance of setting specific financial goals. Eric and his wife determined their "LeanFIRE" number, which is the minimal amount needed to retire. They then set progressive goals to achieve "Midsize FIRE" and eventually "FatFIRE," which would allow them an even more comfortable and abundant retirement. This goal-setting framework serves as a roadmap for anyone looking to attain financial independence through real estate.
Pillars of Financial Independence: Eric's Blueprint
Eric shares his five crucial pillars for achieving financial independence:
1. Understanding Your Why:
Knowing why you want to achieve financial independence gives you a strong foundation and keeps you motivated.
2. Dreaming Big:
Think beyond what you believe is possible. Big dreams fuel big actions.
3. Setting Actionable Goals:
Break down your large goals into smaller, manageable tasks that keep you on track.
4. Taking Imperfect Action:
Waiting for everything to be perfect leads to inaction. Start now, refine later.
5. Knowing What is Enough:
Understand your financial needs to avoid constantly chasing more money, which can lead to burnout.
The Mindset of Giving: A Key to Receiving
Both Eric and Jay emphasize the importance of a giving mindset to open pathways for receiving. Eric advises transitioning from a scarcity mindset by giving more, suggesting that people should donate 10% of their income. This act of generosity not only helps others but also fosters an abundance mindset, which is crucial for attracting wealth.
Common Mistakes New Investors Make: Lessons from the Trenches
Eric and Jay discuss common pitfalls many new real estate investors face. These include a scarcity mindset, chasing shiny objects, and failing to follow proper steps, ethics, and legalities. By staying focused and following proven methods, new investors can avoid these costly mistakes.
Overcoming Fear: The Roadblock to Financial Success
Fear is a significant barrier for many aspiring investors. Eric advises overcoming this by realizing that the perceived risks are often exaggerated. Building confidence and trust in oneself is fundamental to overcoming these fears.
