The Secret to Never Missing a Deal:
Jay Conner’s Private Money Method
Welcome back to the Raising Private Money Podcast! In this episode, Jay Conner sat down with Michael Smith on the Eggs Podcast to share his passion and expertise on one of real estate’s most crucial topics—raising and leveraging private money.
From his early days investing in single-family homes to becoming The Private Money Authority, Jay Conner opened up about how a personal banking crisis led him to discover the world of private lending. He broke down the exact strategies and formulas he used to fund deals, explaining how math—not emotion—drove every successful investment decision.
Listeners heard Jay Conner demystify the process of attracting private lenders without ever begging or pitching for money. He revealed how putting on his “teacher hat” helped him raise millions in funding and build a network of 47 active private lenders, ensuring he never missed out on a deal due to a lack of capital.
The episode wasn’t just theory—Jay Conner offered practical insights into structuring deals, protecting lenders, and finding funding sources, even for those just starting out. Whether they were new investors or seasoned real estate veterans, the conversation opened listeners’ eyes to the real possibilities of private money, effective network-building strategies, and the formulas that protected both investors and their lenders.
