Exploring the Power of Private Money Lending for Real Estate Investments
Jay Conner, renowned as the "Private Money Authority," recently graced the “Money with Mission” podcast hosted by Dr. Felicia Froe. During the episode, Jay delved into the transformative power of private money lending, sharing his journey from relying on traditional bank loans to becoming a successful advocate and educator in private money. This blog post unpacks the wisdom shared by Jay Conner, offering actionable insights for real estate investors and potential private lenders alike.
A Turning Point in Jay Conner's Journey
The Bank Collapse and a Search for Solutions
Jay Conner's real estate career, which began in 2003, took a dramatic turn after the 2008 financial crisis. By January 2009, Jay faced an abrupt financial dilemma: his bank unexpectedly severed his line of credit. With two houses under contract and no traditional financing available, Jay found himself questioning how to overcome this seemingly insurmountable obstacle. It wasn’t about "how" he would resolve it, but "who" could assist him.
Discovering Private Money Lending
A pivotal conversation with his friend Jeff Blankenship introduced Jay to the concept of private money, including the use of self-directed IRAs. This option allowed individuals to lend their retirement funds for investments. Jay's curiosity led him to research and ultimately master the private money lending model, paving the way for his remarkable success in raising funds.
Crafting a New Financial Path
The Power of Raising Private Money
Jay’s in-depth understanding and strategy for private money paid off quickly. Within 90 days, he raised $2,150,000, far surpassing his previous $1 million bank credit. This success was a game-changer during a time when conventional loans were nearly impossible to secure.
Shifting from Borrower to Educator
Acknowledging the transformative effect private money lending had on his business, Jay transitioned into a teaching role. By focusing on education rather than solicitation, he attracted investments organically. He emphasized the importance of leading with a servant’s heart and sharing knowledge about private money lending's benefits to potential investors.

Jay leverages private money to fund fix-and-flip deals, averaging a profit of $82,000 per deal. He typically conducts two to three deals per month, amounting to approximately 30 deals annually. Additionally, Jay employs creative financing techniques, purchasing single-family homes on terms and then offering them on lease purchase or rent-to-own agreements.
Navigating the Market Landscape
Jay’s strategy involves acquiring off-market properties, crucial amidst low inventory scenarios. The speed of acquisition, facilitated by private funding, often leads to substantial profits. He cited a recent condo flip netting $160,000, showcasing the effectiveness of his methods.
