Private Money for Real Estate Investors: How to Get Your Deals Funded Faster

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.

Speaker: LeAnn Lyon

LeAnn Lyon is a Private Money Broker and owner of Lyon Capital LLC, who serves as a connector and facilitator between real estate investors and private or hard money capital. She helps investors understand what lenders look for, how deals are evaluated, and how to package their projects so they can get to the closing table faster and with more confidence.

As Chief Joy Officer at Joy-Minder, LLC and host of the “Beyond the Business Plan” podcast, LeAnn also supports burned-out professionals who feel called to entrepreneurship, making funding strategies clear, practical, and less intimidating.

A lifelong Minnesota resident and UW-River Falls graduate, she’s married to the grandson of a 1930s Packers player—so she’s “Wisconsin enough” for today!

CASE STUDY:

“The Exit Plan: Did You Really Buy Right?”

Presenter: Chris Hake - WiscoREIA Owner

One of the biggest questions in real estate investing is this:

How do you really know if you bought a property right?

The truth is, you often don’t know until you have to sell.

In this powerful and practical case study, Chris Hake will walk through a real-life deal that was originally purchased as a long-term cash flowing asset with no intention of selling anytime soon.

But after owning the property for a little over two years, changes in the market and local environment created pressure that forced an earlier-than-planned exit strategy.

This case study will walk through:

• How market conditions can unexpectedly change

• What happens when your original exit plan no longer works

• How pressure impacts negotiations and leverage

• Whether you are able to sell on your terms or the buyer’s terms

• And ultimately, the real answer to the question:

“Did we actually buy the property right in the first place?”

This is a very real-world example that investors face all the time but rarely discuss openly.

WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm!

Make sure to bring tons of business cards as you will be meeting with people that you want to get to know!
