134 Behind the Deals: Inside the World of Legal Property Sourcing

Listen on

Episode notes

The buzz that goes around property sourcing is that it’s a fun and quick way into making big money; a way of property shopping when you're not actually paying the bills. 

But, there's always a ‘but’. In this case it’s that there are a lot of rules and regulations about it. That’s why I invited Tina Walsh, known as the Queen of Compliance, onto the show. Tina has been operating in the property investment sector since 2006, and since 2012, she operates a part-time sourcing business. She also has a training company and has set up the National Association for Professional Sourcing Agents. 

As someone who has a finger on the pulse of all things legal when it comes to property sourcing, what Tina talks about is probably going to horrify some listeners. Others will just see it as an easy system of rules and regs within which they can work. Either way, you’re going to learn a lot in this conversation!
