654: Private Money Explained Part 3: The "Credibility Pieces" Lenders Love to See w/Amy Mahjoory

Episode • Aug 28, 2022 • 56m

Finding a private money lender is far less complicated than people think. Striking up a ten-minute conversation could be enough to find your next round of private money. At least that’s how it worked out for Josiah. Josiah is a small business owner, running a pool cleaning business while building up a small portfolio of rental properties. He sees dozens of new faces every day, and those new faces directly translate into new opportunities.

After hearing our past episodes with Amy Mahjoory, Josiah took some of her tips and began pitching his deals to everyone he encountered. Now, he’s got some private money lenders lined up for his new multi-unit, four and a-half acre, short-term rental real estate deal. We told you—raising private money is a lot easier than most people think! But we’re not just talking to Josiah today. We also have Amy back on the show for part three of her private money masterclass.

This time, Amy talks about building the “credibility pieces” that give private money lenders confidence in you, your team, and your deal. These range from presentations to deal reviews, calculators, and more. These private money tools took decades to build and Amy still uses them today!
