Before looking for potential financiers, you should have a complete project plan. The project plan should explain the various stages the project would go through and the financing it requires at various stages. A complete project plan would immensely impress the financier, as it would show your clarity on the project also lets the financier the visibility on your project. Apart from the transparency, it also builds the trust between the borrower and the financier.
One should be wary of the financial costs that would incur during the project. You should consider the costs of equipment, inventory, resources, infrastructure and so on before arriving at a project cost. It is always a smart idea to consider having a worksheet or any other tool to list down all possible costs in parallel with your project duration.

One can raise financing for their real estate projects in two ways, either through a debt financing option or via equity financing. In debt financing, you need not surrender your ownership for raising money for your projects. This requires repayment in either installments or in full with the interest. The equity financing involves distribution of ownership to either private or public. You can look for some private real estate capitalists or offer public listings in stock exchange.
