In this episode, Mark Fitzgerald explores seven key strategies to finance property investments, whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor.

1. Mortgages – Use buy-to-let, HMO, or residential mortgages through independent brokers for better deals.
2. Bridging Loans – Short-term finance to bridge the gap before refinancing.
3. Cash Purchases – Fast and flexible, but consider leveraging finance to maximise funds.
4. Private Investors – Partner with individuals for fixed returns and shared profits.
5. Crowdfunding – Use platforms like CrowdProperty for alternative financing.
6. Joint Ventures – Collaborate with partners to share costs, skills, and risks.
7. Equity Release – Unlock capital from your home to fund new investments.

The key takeaway is to explore multiple finance options and not let funding limitations stop you from growing your property business.

In this episode, Mark Fitzgerald explains why rejection in property deals isn’t always final—it just means "not now." Key takeaways:

1. Motivation Changes Over Time – Sellers who initially say no may become more open as circumstances change.
2. Follow-Up is Crucial – Use tools like Trello or spreadsheets to track leads and check back regularly.
3. Build Relationships – Agents, vendors, and investors may reconsider if they trust and remember you.
4. Understand Pricing Realities – Sellers often overprice due to unrealistic expectations.
5. Deals Fall Through – Many accepted offers collapse, so staying in touch puts you in a prime position.

Persistence and strategic follow-ups turn initial rejections into future opportunities. Stay proactive, keep checking in, and be ready when the right moment comes.

Mark Fitzgerald shares how to profit from property deals, even if you’re not buying them yourself. Many investors find great deals they can’t pursue—rather than letting them go, these can be packaged and sold.

Success comes from knowing your market, securing deals properly, and building trust with vendors and investors. Understanding investor needs before sourcing ensures you’re offering valuable opportunities. Networking is key—attending property events and engaging with industry contacts helps create profitable connections. By structuring deals well and positioning yourself as a reliable source, you can generate extra income while strengthening your property business.

He stresses the importance of writing down specific goals, rewarding progress, and staying committed to long-term success. He also reminds listeners to enjoy the journey, take breaks, and surround themselves with like-minded people.

Ultimately, success in property isn’t just about money—it’s about designing a life that brings purpose and fulfillment.

Mark Fitzgerald outlines the key steps to becoming a compliant deal sourcer. He advises setting up a limited company for credibility, registering with HMRC, a property redress scheme, and ICO for data protection, and securing professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Anti-money laundering compliance and legally binding contracts, such as heads of terms and purchase options, are also essential.

He stresses the importance of clear terms and conditions to protect all parties and warns against simply listing online deals without proper due diligence. Instead, deal sourcers should focus on understanding investor needs, managing the process effectively, and maintaining strong relationships with vendors and agents.

For a quicker start, Mark suggests joining compliance platforms like The Compliance Vault or Site Finder. Done correctly, deal sourcing can be a lucrative business, but professionalism and full compliance are crucial.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses several key reasons why landlords are increasingly choosing to sell their properties.

One of the main factors is the rise in interest rates. For years, rates were low, around 1-2%, which allowed landlords to make good profits from their tenants. However, as rates gradually increase, those on variable mortgage rates are feeling the strain, leading many to reconsider their investments.

Another challenge is the difficulty of managing properties, especially as landlords age. The physical and administrative demands of property management can become overwhelming. Additionally, recent changes in policies and bills are discouraging some landlords from continuing in the business.

Lastly, rising taxes and shifting tax brackets have significantly reduced landlords' earnings, making it harder for them to maintain their previous level of profitability. These financial pressures are prompting many to exit the market.
