Ahmed & Mahdi

Herman from Maidstone, Kent, and his wife Lisa are on a mission to build long term income through rent to rent. After just six viewings, they landed their first deal, a four bed HMO in Abbey Wood, with a six bed semi detached house already in the pipeline. Herman shares how they kept things simple, stayed consistent and took the right action early. If you are new and wondering what is possible in your first few weeks, this shows what happens when you go all in together.

Lewis is an ambitious investor whose very first rent to rent deal is a block of four brand new serviced accommodation apartments. He shares how he made it happen with Simon's support, from getting through the early learning curve to landing a high cashflow opportunity. See the key steps, mindset shifts and support that helped him launch strong, and how this first win sets him up for even bigger moves.

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. Sharon's advice: "Say it in your own way, according to your character and your personality."

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.
