KEY TAKEAWAYS Dave and Darren of Michael Alexander Sourcing have a background in construction and project management, which has influenced their interest in property investment. They started investing in property together in 2012 and have since built a portfolio of buy-to-let properties and HMO conversions. As sourcing agents, they provide a range of services, from finding deals to managing refurbishments and connecting clients with trusted letting agents. Compliance and regulation are important aspects of their business, including insurance, data protection, and anti-money laundering checks. They are also registered with the property ombudsman or property redress scheme to protect their clients. BEST MOMENTS "We do it. We're putting all this effort in. We're putting offers in on everything, but only able to complete on some of them." "We don't want to walk away from a deal because we've got lots of clients who have different parameters, different requirements, different expectations in terms of their level of return." "We've got to be fully satisfied under the AML guidelines that we've done all we should be doing in order to verify the legitimacy of that person and their source of funds." "We always give you know, we'll always be transparent. We're not going to mess around. We'll always give you our number. But if that doesn't work for you, then let's keep talking because we don't want to walk away from a deal."
