What makes Sharon’s story powerful is how it began: over 18 months of consistent follow-up with a vendor before finally securing the deal. From sourcing her properties directly to negotiating strong terms, Sharon shows what’s possible when patience meets preparation. She shares how she furnished the units cost-effectively, added smart home tech for better utility control, and secured an impressive 189-night booking across all three flats. With guaranteed rent of £1,200 per unit and high occupancy, her business is now thriving—and her journey is packed with valuable lessons for any aspiring investor. Sharon’s portfolio includes three well-located, two-bedroom flats in Worcester, each secured on guaranteed rent at £1,200 per month. Through strategic setup, smart tech, and direct sourcing, she’s maximised efficiency and income—most notably with a single 189-night booking that filled all three units. A perfect example of how strategic action and long-term thinking pay off in rent-to-rent.
