***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@InvestorMelDaveDupuis "Raising Private Money Like A Pro: $2m In Just A Few Months!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epb08dAiKDs For new and experienced real estate investors alike, the challenge of finding funding is one of the biggest obstacles to growing a profitable portfolio. If you've ever wondered how some investors manage to raise millions in private money, without begging banks or feeling desperate in front of lenders, you'll want to pay close attention to the strategies shared by Jay Conner, known as the “Private Money Authority.” Recently, Jay joined seasoned investor couple Mel and Dave Dupuis for an in-depth discussion about the art and science of raising private capital for real estate deals.Overcoming the “Bank Said No” ClubJay's real estate journey began traditionally, with bank financing. But in 2009, when his banker abruptly cut off his line of credit, Jay was forced into what he calls the “club of being told no by the bank.” Many investors find themselves here: good credit, a history of successful deals, but suddenly, institutional partners slam the door shut. For Jay, this so-called setback was the doorway to a better way: raising private money from individuals.What Exactly is Private Money?Private money, as Jay explains, is funds lent by individuals (not institutions) who are looking for secure, high-yield investment opportunities. Unlike hard money lenders, who often charge hefty fees and high rates, private lenders can be ordinary people—friends, acquaintances, or referrals—looking to invest their savings or retirement funds through self-directed IRAs.Jay's “Secret Sauce” to Raising Millions (Without Ever Begging)Here's where Jay's approach is both counterintuitive and powerful: He never asks anyone for money. That's right. Instead of pitching deals or putting on the hard sell, Jay puts on his “teacher hat” and educates potential private lenders about the opportunity to earn attractive, safe returns by acting as the bank. He keeps the educational conversation separate from any specific asks or deals.The process goes like this:Teach, Don't Pitch: Jay hosts one-on-one conversations or small luncheons to explain how private lending works, what kinds of returns they can expect, and how their investment is secured.Let Them Volunteer: By the end of the conversation, prospective lenders often tell him how much they have available to invest, sometimes even moving retirement savings into a self-directed IRA.The “Good News Call”: Once a suitable deal comes along, Jay updates his new lender with a simple call: “I have good news! I can put your $150,000 to work on a house in Newport next Wednesday.” He explains the terms, closing date, and logistics—but crucially, he never “asks” for the money. The lender has already expressed their interest and is waiting for the opportunity.This approach eliminates desperation, builds trust, and positions Jay as a partner and educator, not a salesperson.How Jay Protects His Private LendersA major reason people hesitate to lend is concern about risk and security. Jay addresses this upfront:Each loan is secured by a deed of trust (mortgage) on the property, just like a bank loan.Maximum loan-to-value is 75% of the after-repair value, not the purchase price, ensuring enough equity for safety.Private lenders are named as mortgagees on insurance policies and as additional insureds on title policies.Loans are set up with conservative timelines (typically two years), so extensions or surprises are rare.Most importantly, if Jay ever fails to pay, the property itself secures the lender's investm

On the pod this week, Austin Karp and Mollie Cahillane break down the opportunity for the NBA Finals to showcase budding stars who play in smaller TV markets. The duo also discusses whether“Inside the NBA” could change on ESPN next season,and what ESPN talent might make sense to mix in with the current crew.

Mitch and Charlie are back for another edition of the Tapping The Keg podcast. In this week's podcast, we cover the Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, and the NBA FInals. The podcast begins with Charlie and Mitch going through each team in the National League and seeing where the Brewers belong. They also talk about the massive homestand coming up. The podcast rolls on with the boys discussing how the silly season of the NFL got Jordan Love with the regression talk plus could the Packers defense actually be better this year? Lastly, they talk about the NBA's need to embrace the small markets with the NBA Finals of Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers

On this episode, after discussing the New York Knicks firing of Tom Thibodeau and whether or not the Grizzlies' should consider adding him to Tuomas Iisalo's staff we'll break down the best and worst bets of the NBA Finals.

The Timberwolves crumbled, and the Thunder reaped the benefits. Don't get it twisted...OKC is good, but Minnesota's collapse made them look more elite than they are. Sloppy execution, questionable decisions, and a lack of composure from the Wolves handed OKC momentum they didn't fully earn.Small market teams are thriving! From Oklahoma City to Indiana, these squads are building strategically year after year and playing unselfish basketball. No big-market flash, just good ole-fashioned high-IQ hoops. Anyone who enjoys the game of basketball should enjoy this redistribution of power in the NBA...--Voicemail call in: (219) 413-9405Instagram: @TheRunPodcastFacebook: PodcastTheRunYouTube: The Run with Manny WilsonTheRunUSA.com--Use the Promo Code: THERUNPODCAST for $20 OFF your first ticket purchase with SeatGeek. https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/teamseatgeek

Send us a textRentership rates across the United States have climbed to a nine-year high of 36% according to fresh Redfin data, marking a significant shift in the housing landscape as we move through 2025. This growing preference—or necessity—for renting over homeownership tells a compelling story about affordability challenges that continue to shape real estate markets nationwide.Major metropolitan areas like Austin, San Francisco, and Miami are experiencing skyrocketing rents, yet the demand shows no signs of slowing down. This trend is creating substantial opportunities for real estate investors focused on multifamily properties, while simultaneously reshaping population distribution as people seek more affordable living options. The paradox of rising rents alongside unattainable homeownership is pushing more Americans toward long-term renting situations that were once considered temporary.Despite these affordability hurdles, February 2025 home prices increased to a median of $403,000—up 2.7% year over year. What's particularly fascinating is where this growth is happening: smaller suburban markets are seeing appreciation while larger urban centers like Los Angeles and New York are experiencing noticeable price declines. This geographic divergence highlights a migration pattern driven by value-seeking buyers who want more space for their money. Meanwhile, mortgage rates continue their volatile journey, currently sitting around 6.9% for 30-year fixed loans after fluctuating with the 10-year Treasury yield. For prospective buyers, the timing question becomes increasingly critical as rates threaten to climb higher.Want to navigate these complex market conditions and build wealth through real estate?

Honesty and vulnerability are important, especially when working with clients who may be hesitant to trust younger advisors. Focusing on a specific niche has allowed Commonwealth to uniquely cater to their clients' needs and build a loyal following. Building an intentional tech stack has allowed Commonwealth to serve more clients efficiently and streamline operations. Quotes "The biggest thing you can do as a young person or just a new person in this industry is to own the fact that you don't have experience but make up for it in a knowledge base." ~ Daniel Spurgeon "When things are hard in the business, and you're new, and you're not getting clients left and right, the willingness to pick yourself back up and just keep taking the next step forward is paramount because it's not for the weak of heart." ~ Daniel Spurgeon "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. If you're willing to go the extra step and take care of people, even though it may not immediately make a financial difference for you, people remember that." ~ Daniel Spurgeon "This world's always changing. So you have to be willing to adapt, and technology's an easy way to make things more efficient and scalable." ~ Daniel Spurgeon Links  Daniel Spurgeon on LinkedIn Commonwealth Financial Services Raymond James LPL Financial Edward Jones Merrill Lynch DuPont Wealth Wednesday | Podcast on Spotify Shanell Jeffrey Alyssa Williams Orion Advisor Solutions eMoney Advisor Joe Duran Quantitative Value Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

One asset class that still has great deals on sub-institutional properties is Mobile Home Parks. Although larger parks near major metros are being acquired by REITs, Private Equity, and other institutions, parks with fewer than 100 sites are still being acquired by smaller investors with less competition. Smaller parks, mostly in tertiary markets, can offer great buying opportunities with value-add components that result in tremendous value and cash flow. Ferd Niemann IV, Mobile Home Park lawyer and investor, has acquired over 20 parks in mostly small markets across five Midwestern states. Ferd is raising a $10,000,000 fund to acquire more parks and leverage the success he's had with individual assets.

Kyle Roberts is a DP working in Birmingham, Alabama. One of the important aspects of working in a smaller market is to be skilled enough to function in multiple roles depending on what each project demands. “I'm a big problem solver,” says Kyle. “I feel like my career has taken off mainly because I'm the guy that can not just do multiple jobs, but it's using my creative mind, doing the problem solving, that's taken me far. That's what still brings me to the job every day.” After working in LA at Radiant Images, Kyle relocated back home to Birmingham to work for a local ad agency. He began shooting corporate video and regional commercials. Though he loves shooting narratives, commercials in this market are what pays the bills. Fortunately, production in the area has grown enough to support more work. Alabama is a pretty good central location for Kyle to work in Atlanta, Nashville and New Orleans, so he's able to work as a local in any of those markets. He also finds and trains those who are eager to learn, so there's more experienced crew available and work can be shared. With his partners, Kyle opened Next Level Productions, a rental house, and Moonmen DJS, a production studio with an LED video wall.
