How to source investment properties like a pro

It's not rocket science! Find the people who are already doing well from investing in your chosen area, and follow in their footsteps. Here's how.

Want to know how to source investment properties that will consistently perform well?

First, here are a few things not to do:

  • DON’T pay for an expensive course. They’re often run by people who haven’t got a track record, or a vested interest in your long-term success
  • DON’T employ a property sourcer who’s never invested in the area, who bought their first property recently, or who isn’t transparent about their own investment history

You don’t need to do either of these things. You have a source of much more reliable information at your disposal. If you want to source your next investment like a pro, ask your property manager where they bought theirs!

Why your property manager knows how to source investment properties

It always amazes us when people don’t buy in the areas their property manager is buying in. Think about it this way. Your local property manager:

  • lives in the area
  • works in the area
  • is an expert in the local property market
  • knows where tenants want to live, and what they’re paying

If they’re not buying in the area you’re buying, you have to ask yourself why not!

Why you can trust your property manager to source your next investment

This is an unregulated industry, so not every property manager is as trustworthy as the next, but the good ones are the best people to trust when deciding where to invest. Property managers make their money when your tenants pay their rent. You’re not trusting them based on blind faith; it’s in their interest for you to own high-yielding properties, filled with long-term, happy tenants!

When you want to know how to source investment properties, who would you trust:

  1. The person who makes their money as soon as the deal closes?
  2. The person who only makes money if your investment performs consistently well year-on-year?

Make sure your property manager:

How this can help you source investment properties outside your local area

The video below tells you why it’s often a good idea to buy outside of the area where you live. If you decide to follow that advice, forming a relationship with a trustworthy property manager could be the key to successfully investing in a new area.

A lot of people want to invest in the same area they live in. Speaking from experience, we don’t think that’s the best idea. Instead, find an expert who can help you source properties like a pro, in an area away from your immediate surroundings, with high rental demand. Read our latest blog ‘How to source investment properties like a pro’ to find out how.

Learn to spot a good property manager, and you can align yourself with a local area expert anywhere in the world! Of course, property managers will always tell you their area is a good place to invest. That’s why it’s important to find one with integrity, and their own skin in the game. Here at Homesure Property, we’ve been actively investing in the North West of England for 20 years, and we never recommend you to invest in a property that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. We even share examples from our own portfolio with the investors who subscribe to our Off-Market Mailing List. We practice what we preach, so we’re confidently transparent.
