"Raising Private Money Without Begging or Selling – with Jay Conner"

When it comes to real estate investment, securing funding is often the most daunting aspect of closing a deal. Jay Conner, a seasoned expert in private lending, offers invaluable insights for both budding and veteran investors. As discussed in a recent podcast hosted by Bryce Matheson, Jay breaks down the art of leveraging private money to fuel real estate ventures. Here's a comprehensive look at the strategies and insights shared by Jay Conner during the podcast episode.
Understanding Private Money Lending
Private money lending involves securing funds from individuals rather than traditional financial institutions. Jay emphasizes the significant role private money has played in transforming his real estate business, especially when traditional funding routes, like bank loans, become unavailable. For Jay, the journey into private money began out of necessity. In 2009, when his reliable line of credit was abruptly closed, he turned to private money following the advice of a fellow investor friend. This pivotal move not only sustained his business but enabled it to thrive.
The Mindset of a Private Money Teacher
One key takeaway from Jay's approach is the mindset shift required to succeed in private money lending. He advises that instead of viewing oneself as desperate or in need of begging, one should adopt the role of a teacher. Jay emphasizes educating potential private lenders—ordinary people who might not even realize the potential of their idle funds—about the benefits and mechanics of private lending. This educational approach not only builds rapport but also establishes trust, which is crucial in this domain.
Navigating the Private Money Landscape
Jay shares a strategic method for managing and attracting private lenders without appearing desperate: separating the conversation about the lending program from the deals themselves. This involves first educating potential lenders about the attractive interest rates and security features of real estate investment, based on sound loan-to-value ratios. Only once they express interest does he present them with actual deals. This tactic keeps the process professional and positions the investor as someone offering an opportunity, rather than seeking a favor.
Building and Expanding Your Network
For those concerned about a limited network, Jay suggests building connections through organizations like Business Networking International (BNI), which facilitates leads and introductions within professional circles. Additionally, Jay underlines the importance of using one’s existing community connections, like church groups or local clubs, to identify potential lenders who are seeking better returns on their investments.
Structuring Deals and Ensuring Compliance
In his podcast discussion, Jay mentions the importance of structuring deals appropriately to remain compliant with SEC regulations, especially when involving multiple lenders per deal. By focusing on single-family home investments, he avoids complications with syndication and pooling, offering each lender a direct loan secured by a deed of trust. This approach not only offers peace of mind to the lenders but also simplifies the entire lending process.
Rates, Terms, and Transparency
Despite market fluctuations, Jay Conner has maintained consistent interest rates—8% for first position and 10% for junior positions—since 2009. His transparent method of outlining lender benefits and security measures contributes to building a reliable investor network. Offering features like a 90-day call option for
