Karen spent years working 13 hour days in dentistry, raising two sons alone, with buy to lets that barely broke even. When her health forced her to face reality, her son introduced her to rent to rent and she joined SSO. She turned her underperforming buy to lets into serviced accommodation and saw an incredible first month. Since then she has launched three rent to rent deals in Cheltenham and secured another property in Cornwall. With the support, accountability and straight talking advice she says was missing from every other programme, Karen is finally building something real for herself and her family.

Clare has three serviced accommodation units, all brand new builds, and the calendars are filling up. On one day she landed two long bookings. A guest came back to say yes to a three month stay. Then she followed up a contractor who had stayed before, telling him the property was getting busy, and he asked for six months. Alongside that, guests are booking direct outside Airbnb. Clare only needed £1,500 a month to replace her income so she could cut back her working days, and she's on track to do that from one property alone. With Simon helping her optimise her listings and set up payments, the next step is simple: lock the bookings in and get the next deal.

Rachel is from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and everything in her career led here. She spent her teens and twenties in hospitality running large rural estates and hotels, served in the police, then moved into property management as a private PA, managing fourteen tenancies for an investor who was turning his properties into Airbnbs. She has always wanted to be her own boss, run her own schedule and build a business she could eventually run from anywhere in the world. Her first deal of her own is a three bed in the upper rooms of a former Edwardian opera house, which she markets as The Stage Door. It came fully furnished with two bathrooms and smart TVs in every bedroom, and she even inherited the booking platforms. All she needed was some sheets and a coffee machine. Now she can keep her investor as a client while running things her own way.

Glenn is from Lincoln and serves in the Royal Navy as an operating department practitioner, working in operating theatres. He'd been interested in property for years, and spent the year or so before joining Simon researching his options. Rent to rent stood out for its quick cashflow with minimal risk. His why is his family. After so long away with the military, he wants time at home to watch his little boy grow up and give his children the life he wished he'd had. His biggest challenge was believing in himself. The step by step training suited his military way of working, and between Sally, his mentor and the team answering questions within two hours, every worry was quickly put to rest. Less than two months after joining, he got the keys to his first property, with a three week rent free set up period. Next, he plans to use the cashflow from deal one to fund deal two.

Mia and her partner always wanted to get into property, and rent to rent was the way to build cashflow first, then invest in property they own. Mia had always wanted to run Airbnbs too. The support at Simon Smith Online made the difference: unlimited calls, everything personalised, and Harry keeping them going through every viewing. Around four months after joining, they opened a six bed, two bath house in Sheffield city centre. They listed it a few days early, enquiries came in straight away, and on opening day the photographer left at three o'clock and the first guests checked in fifteen minutes later. Those guests booked a week, then another, then a month, and are now talking about six months. That one booking cleared every doubt she had. They've chosen a long, secure booking that keeps the house hands off. Now they're looking for units two and three. Mia's verdict on the support: "Couldn't have been any better."

Sharon and Marika are a mother and daughter from Croydon, both working in social services. They wanted to build a business together, leave a legacy for their children and have more time for family and holidays. Sharon had been a buy to let landlord for ten years, so the idea of controlling property without buying it took some convincing, but once she saw it she wished she'd known sooner. They opened their first two bed and their second a month later. Simon's guest magnets helped them pick the right properties, their website made them look professional to landlords, and the scripts taught them what to say. Sharon even found their first house herself. They've earned Superhost status, and families on insurance stays now come to them directly. Their best month is on track for £19,000 in revenue, Marika has gone part time, and they're aiming for 12 properties within a year.

Yasmin worked in recruitment and then university careers advice, and Pash spent years as a solutions architect in tech. When both stepped away from work for family and personal reasons, they asked themselves how they could earn money working for themselves. They had tried an Amazon drop shipping business before, where the promised training and one to one support never really came, so they were sceptical at first. Simon reassured them, and the support started straight away: a call with Guy, weekly group calls and a community that has been amazing. Within a week or two of starting, Pash found their first landlord on OpenRent. The flat had already been an Airbnb, so the deal was done quickly. They are now on deal four with a fifth in the pipeline. Their London Bridge flat was fully booked for two months within four days of going live. Yasmin's advice: "Do it.
