Kim left behind a 20 year career in television production to build a rent to rent business in Cambridge. Her serviced accommodation units combine professional design with smooth operations, giving guests premium stays and Kim a reliable income. She is proof that it is never too late to change direction and build a business on your own terms.

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."

Louise and Clayton spent years with other property education and had nothing to show for it. They were close to giving up. Since joining SSO, everything has changed. Within four weeks they landed two strong rent to rent deals and finally feel on a path that works. They open up about what did not work elsewhere, what finally clicked, and why the right guidance made all the difference. If you have been burned before, this is the comeback story you need to hear.

Meet the Grant family, Claudia, Curtis and Gary, who are turning rent to rent into a family mission. With the right education, they secured their very first deal within one month: a two bed flat in Shepherd's Bush found on OpenRent. It was not just strategy that got them there, it was teamwork. By playing to each other's strengths, they built real relationships with landlords and laid the foundation for long term success. For the Grants, this is about building a legacy and showing what a family can do together.
