How have you raised money/attracted investors in the past?

[Patrick Philip]

Let's assume that you have a track record of success in whatever aspect of real estate that you are doing. You have tax returns and successful projects that you can show potential investors if they ask.

Let's also assume that you have exhausted your supply of "friends, family, and fools," as well as your own personal cash.

Have you always just gone to banks? What about private individuals? If so, did you file a PPM with the SEC and do it that way? Did you use crowdfunding sites?

Did you offer just interest in return, or partial equity? Did you let someone come on as a partner in the project?

Do you have any specific stories you can tell?
