In this weeks episode of “Inside the Minds of Today’s Millionaires”, Dwan is talking with Jay Conners. Jay is known as the “Private Money Authority”. He and Dwan speak candidly about the deals Jay does and how he does them. Making about $67,000 per deal (and he does on average 3 a month!) he does this with a unique touch. A personal one. No cold calls. No stalking homeowners. Rather he uses “bird-dogs” and reaches out to people personally. Don’t mind the little tech hiccup in the middle of this episode! Dwan and jay joke that that’s what real estate investing is all about! Finally, Jay issues this weeks life equity challenge. You can learn more about Jay by going to www.jayconners.com/freebook (You can even get his book for free here!).
