Meet Tharusha from Milton Keynes—proof that you don’t need years of experience to make rent-to-rent work. Within just 90 days of starting one-to-one mentorship, he secured his first deal: a two-bed house transformed into a high-performing Airbnb for professionals. With an 80% occupancy rate and £1,000 in monthly profit already coming in, Tharusha’s fast start is a clear example of what’s possible when you follow the right steps and take action. If you’re sitting on the fence or waiting for “the right time,” this is your sign to start.

Meet the Grant family—Claudia, Curtis, and Gary—who are turning their rent-to-rent journey into a powerful family mission. Speaking at the #R2Rsuperconf, they shared how, with the right education, they secured their very first deal within just one month. Their first property, a two-bed flat in Shepherd’s Bush sourced through OpenRent, taught them the real-world lessons that only come from taking action. But it wasn’t just strategy that got them there—it was teamwork. By working together and playing to each other’s strengths, they built authentic relationships with landlords and laid the foundation for long-term success. For the Grants, rent-to-rent isn’t just a side hustle. It’s about building a legacy, creating generational wealth, and showing that when a family moves with purpose, anything is possible.

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.

Paul Sargent is proof that consistency wins in rent-to-rent. Since joining Simon back in 2020, Paul has grown steadily year on year—building a streamlined rent-to-SA operation that now manages 42 units and generates over £200,000 annually. In this video, Paul reflects on the key moves that fuelled his growth: building strong relationships, focusing on systems, and staying the course even when others gave up. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, this is a masterclass in playing the long game and building a business that lasts.
