The Power of Private Money:
Why Real Estate Deals Don’t Need Bank Approval

Welcome to the Raising Private Money podcast! In today’s episode, we dive deep into the world of private money lending with Jay Conner, known as the Private Money Authority.

When traditional banks turn away investors and deals hang in the balance, most agents and investors freeze—not because they aren’t capable, but because they haven’t been shown the other options.

Jay Conner shares his personal journey from relying on banks to raising millions in private capital, reveals the crucial differences between hard money and private money, and outlines actionable strategies for both new and seasoned investors to fund their deals—no banks required.

We’ll also explore why most agents don’t know about these alternate funding methods, how to protect yourself from scams, and how real estate professionals can provide more value to their clients by understanding and leveraging private money lending.

Whether you’re looking to save a deal after the bank says no or want to scale your investing business without institutional headaches, this episode offers clarity, practical scripts, and powerful resources to move your real estate game forward.
