This is Mentee of the Month Alaa—and her journey is nothing short of transformational. After 8 months with zero deals, she joined the programme and within just 6 months secured her first 3 properties, generating £1,400 per month in passive income. Fast forward just 4 months later, and Alaa has added a fourth deal to her portfolio—one that cost just £2,000 to set up and is now set to return that same figure every single month. Her total passive income has now reached £4,000/month—and she’s only just warming up. Alaa’s latest deal required just a £2,000 setup and is projected to generate £2,000/month in pure profit—making it her most efficient rent-to-rent yet. With four properties now producing £4,000/month total, she’s built serious momentum and continues to scale smart and fast.

From struggling to find landlords to securing a direct deal with a property developer, Nakita’s journey into rent-to-rent shows what’s possible with persistence, smart strategy, and the right support. In this video, she shares how she built her Short Stays property business in London and scaled to three high-performing serviced accommodation units generating £12,000 per month. She reveals how the deal with a developer came about, what it took to set up each unit for success, and why guest experience and presentation have been crucial to her results. Nakita also talks openly about the challenges she faced, and how being part of the SSO mentorship gave her the tools and confidence to push through and build something she’s proud of.

Meet Oliver Robakowski and Sam Brown—two ex-soldiers who made the bold decision to pursue financial freedom through rent-to-rent in the heart of the capital. With no prior property experience, they chose this strategy as their next mission—and it’s already paying off. This first deal for Oliver and Sam is a strong start—a rent-to-rent property in London producing up to £1,500 in monthly passive income. It's more than just cash flow—it's the foundation of a brand-new chapter, proving that with discipline, strategy, and the right guidance, life after the military can be just as rewarding.

Karen spent years working 13-hour days in dentistry, raising two sons alone, with nothing to show for it but stress, fatigue, and rental properties that barely broke even. Health issues forced her to face reality—she couldn’t keep going like this. But everything changed when her son introduced her to rent-to-rent and she joined SSO. She converted her underperforming buy-to-lets into serviced accommodation and saw £13,000 turnover in her first month. Since then, she’s launched three rent-to-rent deals in Cheltenham, secured another property in Cornwall, and now earns over £20,000 a month in profit. With the support, accountability and straight-talking advice she says was missing from every other programme, Karen is finally building something real—for herself, for her family, and for the life she nearly thought she’d missed
