Every real estate investor has different view and goal of their investing. They also come from different background. Some investor can be part-time teacher, retired office worker, etc.
Their goal can be different as well. Some of them aim to build wealth and some others aim for monthly passive income.
Every investor also has different view on how to spend their fund. It might be easy for you to find people who are interested enough to invest in real estate property. However, finding people who can commit is another case.
They may be people who are willing to contribute paying for funds for the investment but they are not willing enough to follow your specific deal.

It is quite challenging and it is unavoidable that you need help to find money for your next deal. Here are some tips to find funds you really need for your real estate business:
- Before finding anyone on your contact, you need to make plan. No matter how close you are with your contact, you still need a plan to find deals. You may need to connect to different people in order to find deals such as local mortgage broker, wholesaler, attorney, etc. Anyone in mind you think can generate lead needs to be considered to build your pipeline. With plan, it is easier for you to be more practical in finding deals since you at least know what you are doing. Planning your capital presentation will open more opportunities for people to pay attention on you.
- You need to be more specific and confident. You need to treat your audience right and assume they know nothing about real estate business. However, don’t patronize or underestimate them. Answer every question confidently so that they know you know what you are doing. You can even write down possible questions that may arise during presentation. Thus, you can prepare your answer more confidently. Make sure that your answer is specific and don’t give something vague or a roundabout answer.
- Make sure you learn and understand more about finance. You need to know where and how you will invest. At least, you need to know what your leads can expect in return. You need to understand all the expenses and the prospective returns. Be more prepared with the number and make thorough estimation in details.
- Aside from giving your partners firm number of their expected return, it is also important to give specific time of when they will get it. This means you need to frame the exact time for your investing. They don’t want to wait for several months without knowing when and how much they will earn in return. You need to convince your people to work with you and help you raising your capitals. Thus, always make sure you understand what you are doing and their expectation.
