How deal sourcing works
A deal sourcer (or co-sourcer) finds property deals that are not on the open market, usually by speaking directly with landlords, and brings them to investors in exchange for a sourcing fee. The fee is paid when the deal completes, and on The Deal Board you can earn £1,000+ per deal that sells.
To get started, you need to find landlords who are open to a rent-to-rent, serviced accommodation, HMO or social housing arrangement. You gather the property details, photos and financial assumptions, then submit the deal on The Deal Board for staff review. Once approved, the deal is published to the investor deal board.
When an investor takes on the deal, you receive a sourcing fee. You can also earn additional commissions by introducing your own investors to the platform, which means you can earn from both sides of the deal.
