Raising Capital - Before funding the property?

[Geuris Ramos]

Hello everyone, when do you raise capital? Before or after finding a deal? My thinking is if I raise money after the deal I might lose the deal because I’m taking too long, and if I raise money before finding the deal the investor might pull his/her money out because his/her money is not working for him/her yet.

Any help on this issue is highly appreciated.
