Private Money: His Bank Said NO, Then He Raised $2.15 MILLION with Jay Conner

Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast 2.0

Show Notes

THE BANK SAID NO, SO HE FOUND $2.15 MILLION SOMEWHERE ELSE.

What happens when you have real estate deals ready to close…and suddenly the bank cuts you off?

You find another way.

On this powerful episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, I sit down with Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority, a real estate investor who has been buying and selling homes since 2003.

When Jay’s bank abruptly shut down his funding in 2009, he could have walked away.

Instead, that setback changed the trajectory of his business.

Jay developed a completely different approach to funding real estate.

His first private lender committed $250,000, and within months, Jay had raised $2.15 MILLION in private money.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What private money really is

• Why private money and hard money are NOT the same thing

• How Jay finds people willing to fund real estate deals

• How investors can stop depending solely on traditional banks

• How relationships can become one of your greatest sources of capital

• Why you may be closer to funding your next deal than you think

• How one massive setback became the catalyst for Jay’s entire business

If you’ve ever said…

“I found the deal, but I don’t have the money.”

You NEED to hear this conversation.

Because sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and the next level isn’t finding the opportunity.

It’s knowing where to find the money.

🎙️ Listen to my conversation with Jay Conner , The Private Money Authority.
