As many of you know, we've been quietly building Sentinel, our AI Co-Investor designed to help property investors make better decisions, faster and with more consistency. We're almost ready to put the first pre-MVP version into the hands of real investors and start refining the AI agents using live deals and real-world feedback before I launch MVP later in the summer. I'm looking for the first 10 Academy members to join our founding beta tester group from the week commencing 13th July. What you'll get: • Early access to Sentinel before public release • Direct input into how the product evolves • The opportunity to help shape the AI agents and workflows • A behind-the-scenes look at the development process What we'll ask from you: • Join a dedicated Slack beta testing group • Have live deals, opportunities, or an active pipeline that you can put into the system • Use Sentinel as part of your normal investing activity • Provide honest daily feedback on what's working, what's not, what's confusing, and what's missing • Be willing to interact regularly with me and our Founding Engineer, Sadan, as we refine the product This is a genuine MVP. The whole purpose is to get the product into the hands of real investors and learn quickly. Some things will work brilliantly. Some things won't. That's exactly why we're doing this. We're not looking for passive observers. We're looking for active investors who want to help shape what could become a very powerful investing tool. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you'd like to be one of the 10 founding beta testers, comment below with: SENTINEL and we'll get in touch with the next steps.

I just thought I’d share this following yesterday’s topic, as it’s been a bit of a game changer for me. I’ve built a property acquisitions pipeline with ChatGPT that acts like a mini CRM and deal analysis system for every property I source. Instead of jumping emotionally from one listing to the next, every deal gets logged into a spreadsheet and moved through colour-coded stages: Raw Lead (grey), Watchlist (yellow), Active Lead (green), Negotiation/Under Offer (blue), and Completed (purple), plus a separate Future Empire Assets (gold) category for larger long-term opportunities. Each property is logged with all the key information in one place, including the agent’s details, listing web link, asking price, sq ft, £/sq ft, tenure, income and yield, so nothing gets lost. Each deal is then scored out of 10 and analysed for seller motivation and—most importantly for my strategy—hidden optionality (title splitting, upper-floor conversions, mixed-use angles, vacant space, etc). It’s genuinely helped me stop random browsing and start approaching property sourcing in a much more structured and strategic way, making it far easier to filter what’s noise, what’s worth watching, and what’s a genuine opportunity. Happy to share the spreadsheet / framework with anyone who thinks it might help them too.
