The situation worsened when his bank suddenly cut off his funding during a market downturn. This prompted Jay to explore alternative investment strategies like buying properties "Subject-To", using options, and buying with "Lease/Options.”   Still needing a reliable funding source, Jay designed a unique system combining the best aspects of his research. With this system, he was able to secure $250,000 from his first prospect, followed by $2,150,000 in private funding within a few months. This system, dubbed "Where To Get The Money Now," revolutionized his investment career and helped him realize massive profits annually, despite living in a small city.   CONNECT WITH JAY Website: Jay Conner LinkedIn: Jay Conner  Facebook: Jay Conner - The Private Money Authority    🔊 LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLIP EMPIRE SHOW (PODCAST) on Apple Podcasts ▶︎ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flip-empire-show/id1120765959     📺 SUBSCRIBE TO ALEX PARDO’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW ▶︎ https://www.youtube.com/alexpardo   🚀 How to Buy Your 1st Storage Facility within 6-12 Months ▶︎ http://www.storagewins.com/    FOLLOW ALEX ON: ★ INSTAGRAM → http://instagram.com/alexpardo25 ★ FACEBOOK → https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 ★ LINKEDIN → https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-pardo ★ YOUTUBE → https://www.youtube.com/alexpardo ★ TIKTOK → https://www.tiktok.com/@alexpardo25
