The Secrets of Raising Private Money

Private money is often the difference between an investor who finds deals and an investor who can actually close them. In this class, Burley breaks down a repeatable system for raising private capital—what to say, who to say it to, and how to structure terms—so funding stops being the bottleneck in your real estate business. Attendees will walk through the “Burley Model,” the key talking points that unlock private funding conversations, and practical structures including lower-rate capital and owner financing.

​

Attendees will learn:

  • The 7 talking points that help investors communicate opportunities clearly and confidently to potential private lenders

  • Exactly how the “Burley Model” works, step-by-step

  • Why access to capital is a core driver of deal execution and scalability

  • A step-by-step approach to raising significant funding for real estate transactions

  • Practical deal structures discussed in the session, including lower-rate capital strategies (as low as 4%) and owner financing do’s and don’ts based on real-world experience

With 40+ years of investing experience, several thousand personally completed real estate deals, and over $600 million raised, John Burley brings a rare blend of real-world execution and capital-raising expertise.
