Meet Herman from Maidstone, Kent—joined by his wife Lisa on a focused mission to build long-term income through rent-to-rent. With just six viewings under their belt, they landed their very first deal: a four-bedroom HMO in Abbeywood. Now, with a six-bed semi-detached house already in the pipeline, this couple is wasting no time scaling their portfolio. In this video, Herman shares how they kept things simple, stayed consistent, and took the right action early. If you’re new to rent-to-rent and wondering what’s possible in your first few weeks—this is the kind of story that shows exactly what can happen when you go all in together.

“I started working with Simon several months ago and since then I've managed to get rent-to-rent deals in the bag, with more in the pipeline. I think Simon has been the vital key to me securing my first deal because I'd worked with other people previously and they were unable to supply the level of value that Simon offers. He really pushed me to go for the deal I had on the table, and helped me through the process of saying the right things and having all of the right documents. ”

Sonya works in sales and was used to making money for somebody else. But with three young children at home, she wanted to build something that gave her more control, more income, and more time with her family. After looking into different ways to build wealth, property stood out. Rent-to-rent felt like the most accessible route because it did not require them to buy a property first or have large amounts of capital upfront. Sonya and her husband Jamie joined SSO, followed the process, and started building their rent-to-rent business in Birmingham. They now have six properties and are continuing to grow, with the goal of building enough income to leave corporate life and make different choices for their family.

It has been a year since Mark and Alison started their rent to rent journey. They now have three live deals and are pulling in £2,500 a month profit, but none of it came easy. Mark quit his job to go all in. Alison juggled property with paid work. The pressure to get it right sat on their shoulders daily. But what made the difference was backing. Having Simon in their corner gave them clarity, confidence, and answers when they needed them most. From help with systems to quick feedback that crushed the doubts before they could grow, that support gave them space to think bigger. Now they are using their cash flow to move into BRRR and pushing past the mental block that once made scaling feel out of reach.
