If you have to get an answer for that, you are in the wrong business..\nThat is like a fisherman asking where to catch fish.

Yes you can.  I guess you've read Rich Dad Poor Dad.  Great but he doesn't tell you HOW.  It is something I have been trying to figure out for years.  I got the answer a few months ago by my brother showing me.  It is amazingly simple.  All It takes is confidence and thinking big and clarity of mind.  The more you try to figure it the more pieces fall into place.\n\nSo I guess you want to know how?  Ok I will tell you - I'll email my bank account number to you and when you make your first million which you can do within a year - you deposit me 20%, ok?\nlol - only joking - happy to help out.  Ask youreself what you will do with al the $$ though.  If you don't have a goal for the $$ it will end up destroying you when you have lots.  Just a bit of philosophy - take it to heart because you will have plenty $$.  \n\nTake this 'formula' or principle and apply it to whatever is available, it is flexible.  Apply your mind.\nOk here goes:\n\nRemember confidence and think big.\n\nFind a large property in a good area of your city/town that is for sale.  The suburbs is a good place to start, find out from real estate agents which is the fastest growing area.  Go to the dge of that where serious development hasn't started yet.  A few miles is fine, the expansion will catch you.  Once you have found a suitable site, look around and don't be disheartened if the first few are not spot on.  You will be gaining experience with each site you look at.  The site should be large enough to subdivide into smaller erven (erfs) (plots). There will be minimum size zoning allowed in specific areas.\n\nI am assuming here that you know a bit about the property development lingo (of your country).  If not do a bit of research by visiting your local (authority) municipality.\n\nOnce you have found a suitable site that can be subdivided say into 10 plots.  Heres the crux!\nLet's say the seller wants 1mill (theoretical amounts - whatever is going in your area and currency counts) for the property go to him and tell him you will give them 1.5mill if they go into a joint venture with you.  They will.  Then what you do is get the plans for the property from your local authority.  Divide the property up into plots, use a landscape architect if neccessary, or do it youreslf.  Get this development approved by your local authority.  Again you will gain experience as you go.   Once the plans have been approved for rezoning to residential size plots.  This may take some time (find out names at the local authority and hound them, it will move faster) Then what you do is put the plots onto the market at residential prices (per square meter).  Exorbitantly more than the original large piece of ground.  As this is an expanding area they will be sold loke quickly.  You give the original seller his 1.5mill and pocket the difference.  Usually a hell of a lot of money.\n\nAs simple as that.  Hardly cost you a cent.  You used someone elses money and walked away with the finances to do the next project youreself.\n\nWhere you might have to put in money is for the drawing up of the plans, advertising and if you do a cluster dvelopment you should put a wall around the site (expensive) to sell it a concept (helps sell quicker and for more).  For these costs you go to your bank and borrow the money using the large property as collateral. Remember the original seller and you are ina joint venture so you can do this (set up a cc if neccessary).  \n\nThat is the jist of it.   It is actually so simple.  This is a general plan, it can be applied to many situations.  It is a pretty hectic concept to try to get across in so many words.  If I have left anything out apply your mind and fill in the gaps.\n\nGo for it, believe in yourself and the world is yours.\nGood luck.

There are several avenues to attract capital. In all cases, investors want to see a project plan or the actual idea in beta version. In your case (small scale business), friends & family are most likely the best option. These are the people that are familiar with your thoughts and ideas and will hopefully respect them enough to provide some starter capital. \n\nIf that fails, then you can look at approaching your local SBA center. They can help you with small federally backed loans from local banks. In addition, there may be some grants or special programs available to you. \n\nThe next step is angel investors or venture capitalists. Angel investors are usually individual and wealthy people that will fund an idea if they believe in it. Venture capitalists will only fund more mature ideas with management and some proof of concept.

If you have a sold business plan you might consider venture capital associations. Search Yahoo! for industry and geographic groupings. They will have lists of companies involved in venture capital.

Aside from the SBA, conventional loans and venture capitalists, try angel networks. It sounds like you haven't even done preliminary research...you need to do your homework on grants and things, as well.

Hire one of those firms that find people. The one I found below is located out of CA!

Local contractors and make contacts with those in the real estate industry such as Realtors, property managers, perhaps a local garden club, each of these will help you in building your business.

the first step would be to have your invention patented (very important ;), then just talk to companies that migh be interested, if it's really that great, and you know how to present it, it shouldn't be a problem to find investors \ngood luck!!!

do what every other biz does.  buy a lead list of people who invest in real estate outsside usa and start smiling and dialing.  but i will let you in on a known fact, people don't invest, unless you have something you can send them. and in that somthing you send them, make sure you are spelling it out a - z.  everything.  why they should put their money in asia. basically what are the returns.  whats the project, whos involved,  experience level, track record etc.  good luck.  leads cost about $1-15 per potential investor and find yourself a good lead broker or you will be wasting your time.

There are no real estate investment websites that I know of...  Realtors can't and don't sell investments, they can only sell you real estate that you may use as an investment.   In order for a Realtor to be able to sell real estate as an investment they would have to get properly licensed through the SEC, don't know many who are.\n\nI would recommend choosing an area and looking at properties for sale on the web in that town...\n\nRegards,\nJoe Ballarino\nhttp://www.AmerivestRealty.com
