Courtnie is an estate agent from Birmingham who has built a successful income stream through rent to rent while working full time. She secured a four bed property in Solihull and focused on short stays for contractors and visitors to the NEC. Within two weeks, the bookings were covering her monthly costs. She shares how she got started, how she finds reliable guests, and how she manages the property alongside her career. Ideal for anyone who wants to explore rent to rent without giving up the day job.

Adam takes you inside his latest rent to rent deal, a 17th century cottage restored to blend vintage character with modern touches. From bold design choices to clever savings, including a £5 roulette table, the cottage now sleeps eight guests in comfort and style. Adam explains how the right education gave him the confidence to take on the project and transform it. Small upgrades like new decking and a reworked garden lifted the guest experience and helped the property stand out, and in peak season it can bring in up to £3,000 a month. Proof that a charming property can also be a serious business.

Before joining SSO, Jeanie tried to make property work on her own. She put in the hours, paid for training and followed the steps, but nothing stuck. No deals and no real progress. That changed when she joined SSO. With proper mentorship, a clear structure and daily support, she finally built momentum. Now she and her husband Stuart have three live deals, with the second and third landing in the same week, and they are already gearing up for the next. Jeanie is not guessing anymore. She is taking action with confidence, and the results are showing.

Harris and Gita had the mortgage, the house and a good corporate job, but Harris kept asking himself whether he was working for himself or for the shareholder. They wanted to build a legacy for their family, not spend years saving for a single buy to let. A previous training programme left them with no deal and no accountability. Joining Simon changed that: they were surrounded by people getting results, with the support to understand what works. Within 90 days they landed their first serviced accommodation deal in Birmingham and Wolverhampton. When their first attempt fell through, they started calling agents. Harris met a landlord face to face, focused on the relationship, and was picked over other applicants. With the SSO team's help on the contract, they locked in a three year term at a competitive rent, and within two days of going live had a 43 night booking. Harris's advice: "Get yourself in the right room, remember your why, and take massive action even when you don't want to."
