Property trading gets talked about a lot, but for most people it still feels unclear. How do traders find deals? What strategy actually works? How do they learn? And what would an experienced trader do if they had to start again from scratch?
We sat down with Saif Derzi, a property trader with 600+ deals, to break down the thinking, strategy and actions behind real-world trading.
What is property trading and how does it work?
At its core, trading is about finding opportunities, packaging them efficiently, and moving quickly. Traders look for:
- Speed
- Spread (the margin between buying and selling)
- Motivated sellers
- Buyers who want ready-made deals
Instead of holding property long-term, traders focus on sourcing, structuring and moving deals. It’s a skillset that relies on knowledge, negotiation and a clear process rather than huge amounts of capital.
This is exactly why Saif’s experience is valuable: his insights come from volume, pressure and repetition.
If he started again in property tomorrow, what would Saif do first?
For anyone searching “where do I start in property trading?” or “how to get started in property”, Saif’s answer is surprisingly simple and actionable. He covers:
- What to focus on in the early days
- The fastest skills to build
- Where beginners waste time
- The strategy that consistently works even in uncertain markets
It’s a concise roadmap for people who want clarity rather than more information overload.
