Real estate development finance sources can either be internal or external. When the fund was generated internally in the form of estate income is known as internal source, while the mortgage source can be categorized as external. Real estate development in Nigeria has been faced a variety of difficulties. These issues can be two-faced both the commercial banks as well as real estate developers which make it difficult in funding real estate. These problems make real estate lending risky, as it is vulnerable to capital loss and projected interest income, and therefore not attractive to commercial banks, thus restricting the development of the real estate. The FMBN (Federal Mortgage Bank) should focus solely to the wholesale functions as its designated to, and operate in the secondary mortgage sector through providing PMIs, housing finance, and construction companies/associations in the country with mortgage banking services. This would be achieved by acquiring mortgage loan blocks already issued via the main housing finance firm/mortgage institution at the primary sector.
