Living FranchiseBuild a deal-sourcing business with active investors
Deal sourcing is one of the most accessible ways into a property business. You don't need to buy a property. You don't need years of experience. You need a good opportunity, the ability to assess it properly, and an investor ready to act on it. That's where most independent sourcers get stuck. Sourced is built to make sure you don't.

What is property deal sourcing?
Deal sourcing, sometimes called property deal sourcing, is the process of finding and assessing property opportunities on behalf of investors.
A property sourcer researches the market, negotiates with sellers, checks the numbers and packages the opportunity clearly. This is often called deal packaging. If an investor proceeds, the sourcer earns an agreed sourcing fee.

You don’t buy the property yourself. You find it. You package it. You get paid for the deal, not the purchase.
Six weeks to my first deal
I spent two years learning about property. It wasn't until I joined Sourced that I actually completed my first deal within six weeks of starting.
The hard part isn't finding deals. It's everything after.
Sourcing a good opportunity is only the beginning. What happens next depends on what you and your investor want to do with it.
-
Want to sell it?
Sourced has already built an established investor audience, with its own investment website and dedicated app. Suitable opportunities from Sourced Property Partners can be shown to investors actively looking for their next deal.
-
Want to keep it?
That's where finance matters. Through Sourced's in-house brokerage, you can access specialist property finance across a wide range of investment and development opportunities, including more complex deals, subject to lender criteria.
-
Not sure yet?
That's fine too. You've got a Personal Business Manager and Sourced's Deal Analysts around you, to help you understand the opportunity and decide what fits.
How to become a property deal sourcer
Four ways Sourced Partners build property income
-
Learn what investors want
Understand different property strategies, locations, budgets and return expectations.
-
Find suitable opportunities
Build relationships with agents, landlords, developers and local property professionals.
-
Analyse and package the deal
Check the purchase price, refurbishment costs, rental demand, comparable properties, returns and risks. This is deal packaging: turning the numbers into a clear, investor-ready opportunity.
-
Present the opportunity and support the deal
Package the information clearly and present it to investors looking for that type of deal. Then help both parties through to completion, providing what's needed to make an informed decision.
Start sourcing property No experience or investment required
With comprehensive training and ongoing support, you can build income, confidence and industry experience from day one.
-
Do you need to buy the properties yourself?
No.
A property sourcer finds and introduces opportunities to investors. You don't need to purchase the property personally. That makes deal sourcing a practical way to build income and experience in property, before taking on projects of your own.
-
Do you need property experience?
Not at all.
Many Sourced Property Partners join with no property background. You'll learn to find opportunities, understand the figures, carry out due diligence and present deals professionally. Training and support are built around getting you there.

Frequently asked questions
-
Property deal sourcing is the process of finding, assessing and presenting property opportunities to investors. A sourcer researches the market, analyses the available figures, identifies risks and packages the information clearly.
-
No. A property sourcer finds, assesses and introduces opportunities to investors. You do not need to purchase every deal personally, but you will need to invest in establishing and operating your business.
-
A sourcer may charge an agreed fee for the sourcing and packaging service provided. The amount and payment terms should be clear before an investor proceeds.
-
Yes, but it still requires consistent time for training, networking, market research, deal analysis, marketing and investor communication.
-
No. A course gives you knowledge. Sourced gives you training plus the technology, systems, investor network, brand and ongoing support to operate a property business. Use our guide to compare property deal sourcing courses and what to check before you choose.
-
No. Access to the Sourced investor network does not guarantee that an opportunity will sell. Every investor makes their own decision and carries out their own due diligence.
-
Look for practical training on finding opportunities, analysing deals, understanding compliance and building investor relationships. Check what ongoing support and tools are included.
Our guide to property investment training in the UK compares the options and explains how Sourced supports you beyond the initial training.
-
An estate agent works for the seller and doesn’t need to find you a deal. A property sourcer works to find and package opportunities specifically for investors, and is paid a sourcing fee by the investor, not the seller.
-
Deal sourcing needs far less capital upfront than buy-to-let, since you’re not buying the property yourself, and you can start earning sooner. See a full comparison of deal sourcing vs buy-to-let and other strategies.
