Understanding Deal Sourcing

Simon delves into the world of property deal sourcing, offering valuable insights for both aspiring deal sourcers and seasoned investors. He covers the importance of finding great property deals, the criteria for identifying reliable deal sourcers, and the essential compliance measures they should adhere to.

You will learn how to assess the quality of deals, the significance of having clear buying criteria, and the benefits of networking within the property investment community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Deal sourcing involves finding investment properties for those who may have the funds but lack the time or expertise to locate good deals themselves. It can be a lucrative opportunity for both investors and aspiring deal sourcers. When looking for a deal sourcer, investors should assess their recent deals, training background, whether they keep some deals for themselves, and their compliance with industry regulations, such as membership in the Property Redress Scheme and registration with the ICO and HMRC. Investors should be cautious of deal sourcers who request upfront payments to find deals. Instead, it's advisable to pay a reservation fee for specific properties once they are identified, ensuring that the investment is based on tangible opportunities. Both investors and deal sourcers need to conduct thorough due diligence. Investors should clarify their buying criteria to act quickly on good deals, while deal sourcers should vet potential investors to ensure they are financially capable and serious about purchasing properties. Currently, there are more sellers than buyers in the market, creating opportunities for both investors and deal sourcers. Engaging in deal sourcing can be a profitable venture, especially for those willing to put in the effort to find and pass on quality deals.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you're finding great deals that you don't want, instead of wasting those, why not pass them on to other investors and either get paid a fee for that."

"A good deal sourcer will have a one-page summary of each deal they found saying why it is a good deal."

"If you are selling property to someone, unfortunately, a lot of people use property as a way of laundering money."

"My very strong recommendation is do not pay anyone any money up front to find you deals."

"Finding deals that you don't want and passing them on to other people is a great way to make extra money."
