Got a challenge in a group starting very soon and I bashed together this for a welcome T1 style.
The Midnight Rightmove Scrollers
It's 11:47pm on a Tuesday.
You're in bed. Partner's asleep next to you. Phone screen glowing in the dark.
Rightmove. Again.
Scrolling through the same properties you looked at yesterday. The same retail prices.
The same investors competing for scraps.
But maybe this one. Maybe if you refresh. Maybe tomorrow's listings will be different.
They won't.
I know because three years ago, that was me.
Except I wasn't just scrolling Rightmove.
I had spreadsheets. Systems. Alerts set up. I'd wake up at 6am to catch new listings before other investors.
I called estate agents who never called back.
I attended networking events full of people just as stuck as I was.
I watched YouTube videos about "finding motivated sellers" that never told me where they actually were.
Six months in, I had zero deals.
Zero.
But loads of knowledge. Loads of hope. Loads of "I'll figure it out eventually."
Then one day an estate agent in Manchester literally laughed when I asked about motivated sellers.
"Mate," he said, "everyone's motivated to get the best price."
He wasn't wrong.
If you're looking where everyone else looks, you'll find what everyone else finds.
Here's what changed everything.
I stopped looking where the crowd looked.
Estate agents serve sellers who want MAXIMUM price. They create bidding wars. They drive prices up. That's their job.
Motivated sellers don't call estate agents.
They can't wait 6 months for viewings.
They can't afford to renovate first.
They don't want the hassle.
They need their problem solved. Fast. Certain. Simple.
The woman going through divorce who just wants the house gone.
The bloke who inherited his mum's place and lives in Scotland.
The landlord with a problem tenant who's had enough.
These people value speed over maximum price.
They exist everywhere. Every city. Every town.
They just don't advertise on Rightmove.
Once I figured out where they actually were, everything changed.
Tom figured it out too.
Tom was a lorry driver. Zero property experience. Spent 6 months doing what I did -
Rightmove, estate agents, networking events.
Zero deals.
Then he learned where motivated sellers actually are.
Three weeks later: £8K profit on his first deal.
Inherited property. Seller abroad. Didn't want landlord hassle. Needed it gone.
Simple option agreement. Found investor. Structured the deal.
Result: £15K below market value. £8K fee.
Tom's not special. He just stopped looking where the crowd looks.
Now here's my question for you.
This weekend I'm running a free 3-day intensive called The First Deal System.
I'm showing you where motivated sellers actually are. How to find them. What to say.
How to structure deals.
Tom's method. Sarah's method. The same system they used.
But before Friday, I want to know where you're at right now.
Because some people will watch this weekend and take action.
Others will watch, take notes, and go back to scrolling Rightmove at midnight.
I can't make you do deals. I can only show you the system.
So here's the question - where are you at right now with property?
👇👇👇
Option 1: I'm done scrolling Rightmove - ready to learn where motivated sellers actually are
Option 2: Sounds good but I'm skeptical - I've tried courses before and they didn't work
Option 3: Not for me - I'll stick with estate agents and Rightmove, something will eventually come up
No judgment. Just curious where everyone's starting from.
