Property sourcing is the activity by which professionals undertake the task of negotiating and packaging property deals. These deals can then be sold on to a property investor. Often, these property sourcers partake in a lot of research to match what approaching investors are looking for.

Services could include:

Research of an area
Choosing an investment strategy
Generating leads
Analysing, making and chasing potential

Deal packaging is the service of sourcing property on behalf of property investors, for a sourcing fee. Deal packaging is a service offered by a professional property sourcer where they provide a package full of various services to help with the purchasing of new property. 

Services could include:

Research of an area
Comparison of prices
Finding the most profitable investment in a specified area
Building a property portfolio

In addition to this, some investors don’t want to deal with tenants or guests on the property. This full-hands off approach can be handled by the property deal packager. Handling time-consuming maintenance issues is often a service offered by these professionals.

The primary difference between a property sourcer and property packaging is how property packaging tends to be performed on behalf of a property investor.

Another difference between property sourcing and property packaging is the amount of compliance to regulation required. Compliance to regulations surrounding deal packaging can hold up potential deals and hold-up time sensitive deals. If time is a large factor, we recommend you approach a property sourcer for your required services.

It’s an appealing prospect for investors that want to be completely hands-off in the process, as it’s a lot less time consuming and the deal that a property sourcing company will find is often better than an investor will be able to.
