From full-time builder to full-time property entrepreneur—Ben’s journey through rent-to-rent has completely changed his life. In this video, he shares how he scaled his portfolio to 11 serviced accommodation deals, built over £10,000 in net monthly cash flow, and walked away from his 9–5 for good.

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.

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.
