Belita is from Nepal and has spent the last five or six years in London as a chartered accountant at a property company. She always wanted a business she could call her own, because working for someone else has a ceiling. Her goal is time and financial freedom. Her first deal is a five bed house in Wembley with three and a half bathrooms, a big family living room and a view of Wembley Arch from one of the bedrooms. Guests love it. The extra bathrooms were a real guest magnet, so she said yes quickly. It has cashflowed positively from day one. Along the way, Simon was always there when she needed him, which helped her believe in herself and keep going. Her advice: "Believe in yourself and believe in the system, and just continually pursue. You will definitely get a yes one day."

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.

Kemi is a product manager in Swindon who always wanted to get into property but didn't have the money for buy to lets. She spent two years going to free sessions, and at one event felt pressured into signing up for something that didn't feel right. Then she found Simon, and liked how simply he broke the process down. As a structured person, she followed the programme step by step, taking notes as she went. She found a landlord on OpenRent, got a viewing, and spent it getting to know him rather than pitching. When he mentioned his letting agent charged him and did nothing, she showed him her management company website. He was impressed, offered her another of his properties, and that became her first serviced accommodation deal. Two weeks later he called back to ask if she could manage 150 flats. Her goal is 10 properties and a family business for her three boys. Kemi's advice: "Stay consistent and believe that you can do it, because you can."

Marina works full time as a contract manager, and her partner Kate already had some buy to lets. They wanted quicker cashflow than buy to let gives, so they looked at different property courses and chose Simon. Rent to rent clicked instantly: it didn't need much money up front, so they could do several deals with what they had. Marina booked a call and joined that same evening. Her only worry was that it was Kate's money, but hearing the success stories on the calls convinced her: if others can do it, so can we. Within a couple of months of really getting going, they had signed three deals, two in Coventry and one in Leamington Spa. Now landlords are coming to them, including a landlord's sister and even their decorator, and Kate has handed in her notice. Marina's advice: "Follow the process and trust the process, it will work."
