When financing a deal, most real estate investors acquire traditional financing from institutional lenders. Yet this requires large down payments and fees, limiting transaction control and freedom. Alternatively, private money lenders loan real estate entrepreneurs money with low interest rates from personal investment capital or retirement funds. How can you obtain private money loans to grow and sustain a lucrative real estate investment business?

Self-proclaimed private money authority Jay Conner offers private money lenders 8% interest to eliminate down payments and origination fees. He recommends leveraging private money to structure various deals and acquisitions. For instance, you can finance entire rental property purchases and rehabilitations using private money, or an institutional lender can fund a percentage of the deal with the private lender covering gap funding. These financers can also aid in acquiring and closing initial deals by acting as secondary insurers.

Jay Conner, President of The Private Money Authority, joins Mat Zalk in today’s episode of The Same Day Podcast to discuss how real estate investors can leverage private money financing. Jay shares the main differences between hard and private money, his guide to private money lending, and how to identify private lenders.
