What if you could start investing in real estate—even if you didn’t have everything figured out? For many, this might sound intimidating or even impossible, but Mandy Konecki’s journey proves otherwise. On a recent episode of “Raising Private Money,” Mandy sat down with Jay Conner to share how she stumbled into real estate in 2017 with zero experience, and how the power of connection and community changed everything for her and her husband.Starting Without All the AnswersImagine buying your first investment property without ever seeing it in person. That’s exactly how Mandy jumped in, inspired by her husband Keith’s dream to flip houses and stay rooted in Jacksonville, Florida. “I didn't see it. You said you wanted to stay in Florida and work on a house project, so I bought one,” Mandy recalled. It wasn’t a polished business plan—it was action, uncertainty, and a willingness to learn on the fly.In those early days, Mandy worked a W-2 job to keep some stability while Keith leaped into entrepreneurship. It took a handful of deals before she realized the real magic wasn’t just about building a real estate portfolio—it was about building freedom and designing a life on their own terms.Serving Others Through Creative SolutionsSo how did Mandy and Keith find success where so many get stuck? According to Mandy, it was their refusal to take “no” for an answer and their commitment to helping others. "If I look at something and someone might say, 'Oh, that doesn't work because it won't cash flow as a long-term rental,' there's always going to be a way to make it work," Mandy shared.Many of the property owners Mandy works with don’t have significant equity in their homes—a common hurdle. Instead of walking away, Mandy approaches each deal with creativity and empathy. Her favorite strategy? Buying properties “subject to” the existing mortgage. This allows her to take ownership while keeping the original debt in place—no new bank loan, no massive down payment.From there, Mandy deploys a variety of exit strategies: lease options, long-term rentals, city-backed affordable housing, and even room rentals. The key is flexibility; by keeping multiple options open, she can tailor deals to fit both the seller’s needs and her own investment goals.The Game-Changer: Other People’s MoneyFor many aspiring investors, the greatest hurdle isn’t finding deals—it’s finding the money. Mandy admitted she once believed that asking for help or partnering with others was a sign of weakness. But when she discovered OPM—other people’s money—her real estate business transformed overnight. “There are so many people wanting to get into real estate, but they don’t have the tools, the time, or the know-how. But they have money sitting in the bank making less than 1%,” she explained. By connecting with these individuals, Mandy helped them grow their wealth while funding her own deals—a true win-win.Access to Private Money allowed Mandy and Keith to scale beyond their own means. Instead of being limited to one project at a time, waiting for each flip to free up cash, they now juggle multiple deals simultaneously, partnering with both lenders and equity-sharing partners.The Power of CommunityMandy is adamant that real estate is a team sport. “You are not going to learn by reading a million books. You eventually just have to put your feet in and figure it out because that is the best way to learn—do the thing,” she emphasized. Her advice for anyone looking to get started? Plug into your local investor community, find a way to provide value, and start building relationships.Failures and mistakes, what Mandy calls “tuition,” are inevitable—but they’re also what build true expertise and resilience. Whether you have money, skills, connections, or just the drive to learn, there’s a place for you, and a community ready to support your journey.Final ThoughtsMandy Konecki’s story is a testament to taking imperfect action, serving others, and embracing the power of connection. In real estate—and in life—freedom and opportunity often come from stepping out before you feel ready, and building a tribe along the way. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect plan, Mandy’s journey is your invitation to start now, connect deeply, and create your own opportunities.10 Discussion Questions from this EpisodeWhat motivated Mandy Konecki to initially get into real estate investing despite having no prior experience?How did Mandy and her husband Keith use real estate as a path to achieving freedom from their W-2 jobs?What role did community and networking play in Mandy and Keith’s learning and growth as real estate investors?How does Mandy approach properties with little to no equity, and what creative strategies does she use to make such deals work?Mandy mentions using “multiple exit strategies” for real estate deals.
