How to Become a Property Deal Sourcer

It’s called property deal sourcing, and becoming a property deal sourcer means finding great property opportunities and selling them to investors for a fee, usually between £4,000 and £10,000 per deal. To become a deal sourcer, you need to learn how to identify profitable deals, stay compliant, build a network of investors, and know how to package those deals professionally so investors can act quickly.

At Sourced, we’ve helped hundreds of people do exactly that. Many started with zero property experience, no huge savings, and no idea where to begin, and now they run full-time property businesses through our franchise network.

What Is a Property Deal Sourcer?

A property deal sourcer finds investment opportunities and sells them to investors who don’t have the time or resources to find deals themselves.

Think of it as matchmaking for property: you find a great deal, and someone else funds it.

You don’t need a mortgage, a huge deposit, or even to buy the property yourself. You just need to understand what makes a deal profitable, how to package it properly, and how to connect it to the right investor.

And the best part?

You can earn £4,000–£10,000 per deal in sourcing fees, sometimes more.

How Deal Sourcing Works

Here’s how it looks in practice:

1. Find a Property Opportunity – maybe a below-market value house, a potential HMO conversion, or a refurb with high ROI potential.

2. Analyse the Numbers – make sure the deal actually stacks.

3. Package the Deal – create a professional breakdown with figures, photos, and exit strategy.

4. Connect with an Investor – someone looking for exactly that kind of project.

5. Get Paid a Fee – once the deal completes, you earn your sourcing fee.

It’s fast-paced, creative, and genuinely life-changing when you get it right.

How to Become a Property Deal Sourcer (Step by Step)

Step 1: Learn the Basics

Start by understanding property strategies. Flips, buy-to-lets, HMOs, BRRR (buy, refurbish, refinance, rent), and developments.

Even though you won’t be buying yourself, you’ll need to understand what investors are looking for.

Step 2: Get Compliant

You’ll need to register with HMRC for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) supervision and join The Property Ombudsman or PRS.

It’s essential for building trust and staying on the right side of the law.

Step 3: Build Your Investor List

This is where most people struggle, but not when you’re part of a network like Sourced.

Our franchise partners have access to thousands of pre-qualified investors through our Deal Search platform and investment app, saving you months (and thousands of pounds) in marketing costs.

Step 4: Start Sourcing

Once you’ve got investors ready, it’s time to find deals.

You’ll learn how to use tools like Escudo (our in-house sourcing platform) to identify opportunities across the UK and analyse them in minutes.

Step 5: Package and Sell Your Deals

When you’ve found a deal, we’ll show you how to present it like a professional, complete with due diligence, numbers, and investor-ready packs.

Sell your first deal and boom, you’ve just earned your first sourcing fee.

How Much Can You Make?

Let’s say you sell two deals a month.

At an average of £5,000 per deal, that’s £10,000 a month in potential fees.

And once you’ve mastered that process? You’re not just making money, you’re building the foundations of a real property business.

Scaling Beyond Deal Sourcing

The beauty of starting as a deal sourcer is that it builds everything you need for the next step —cashflow, experience, and confidence.

Once you’re consistently selling deals through the Sourced Property Franchise, you’ll have the knowledge, network, and funding partners to take things further.

That’s when many of our partners move into:

• Flips – buying and refurbishing properties for profit.

• HMOs and BRRRs – creating long-term rental income.

• Developments – building or converting properties for major returns.

You’ll already know how to spot profitable opportunities, so scaling up becomes natural.

We’ll guide you through that journey too, helping you secure funding, manage projects, and build a real property portfolio that works for you.
