If I have for example:

$project = new Project(); // Project is a class that extends Eloquent
$project->title;
$project->something;

Is it possible to iterate over those properties... something like this:

foreach( $project as $key => $value )
{
    echo $key;
}

I am trying to do this to achieve a unit of work for editing Eloquent models

Answer

You can use the toArray() method:

foreach( $project->toArray() as $key => $value )
{
    echo $key;
}
