Kate & James

Cat ran a creative agency before making a bold move into property. Her first deal is a luxury serviced accommodation unit in Chelsea, one of London's most prestigious postcodes. With her creative eye and strong commercial instincts, she has turned it into a high performing business and built a strong base for what comes next. If you want to break into high end property, or bring your existing skills into rent to rent, this story is for you.

Mia and her partner always wanted to get into property, and rent to rent was the way to build cashflow first, then invest in property they own. Mia had always wanted to run Airbnbs too. The support at Simon Smith Online made the difference: unlimited calls, everything personalised, and Harry keeping them going through every viewing. Around four months after joining, they opened a six bed, two bath house in Sheffield city centre. They listed it a few days early, enquiries came in straight away, and on opening day the photographer left at three o'clock and the first guests checked in fifteen minutes later. Those guests booked a week, then another, then a month, and are now talking about six months. That one booking cleared every doubt she had. They've chosen a long, secure booking that keeps the house hands off. Now they're looking for units two and three. Mia's verdict on the support: "Couldn't have been any better."

Sheree from Newport started with zero experience and one clear goal: to change her life through property. In just three months she secured her first deal, a three bed semi minutes from home, with three more lined up across Newport, Bristol and Cardiff. She breaks down exactly how she did it: setting up the business, getting compliant, building credibility and networking like a pro. A clear example of focused, fast progress.

Sharon and her husband Rodney prove you do not have to live near your property to build a profitable business. They manage their first deal in Penarth, just outside Cardiff, all the way from London. They share how technology, automation and strong systems let them run it confidently from a distance, and their plans to expand back home in Bristol. If you want to make rent to rent work remotely, this is the video to watch.
