Click here to pre-register!
Struggling to get your deals funded through traditional banks? You’re not alone—and that’s where private money can change the game.
Join Private Money Broker LeAnn Lyon for an investor-focused session that breaks down how real estate investors are successfully using private and hard money to fund fix-and-flips, rental properties, and other deals—especially when conventional financing falls short.
In this session, you’ll learn how private money really works, how it compares to bank and hard money loans, and—most importantly—what lenders are actually looking for when deciding to fund your deal. LeAnn will also walk you through the key documents and preparation needed to move from application to “funded” quickly and smoothly.
Drawing from her real-world experience as a connector and facilitator, LeAnn will share practical insights to help you approach private money with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that works.
Whether you’re new to investing or actively doing deals, this session will give you the tools to secure funding faster and keep your deals moving forward.

Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into.
