One viewing on OpenRent led to my first deal

Watch the video below to find out how.

Kemi is a product manager in Swindon who always wanted to get into property but didn't have the money for buy to lets. She spent two years going to free sessions, and at one event felt pressured into signing up for something that didn't feel right. Then she found Simon, and liked how simply he broke the process down. As a structured person, she followed the programme step by step, taking notes as she went. She found a landlord on OpenRent, got a viewing, and spent it getting to know him rather than pitching. When he mentioned his letting agent charged him and did nothing, she showed him her management company website. He was impressed, offered her another of his properties, and that became her first serviced accommodation deal. Two weeks later he called back to ask if she could manage 150 flats. Her goal is 10 properties and a family business for her three boys. Kemi's advice: "Stay consistent and believe that you can do it, because you can."

Newport to Bristol, four properties in three months

Take-off

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.

Six properties in Birmingham and a plan to leave corporate life

First Class

Sonya works in sales and was used to making money for somebody else. With three young children at home, she wanted more control, more income and more time with her family. Property stood out, and rent to rent was the most accessible route because it did not need a property purchase or large amounts of capital up front. Sonya and her husband Jamie joined SSO, followed the process and built their rent to rent business in Birmingham. They now have six properties and keep growing, with the goal of leaving corporate life and making different choices for their family.

Two long bookings in one day, enough to replace my income

First Class

Clare has three serviced accommodation units, all brand new builds, and the calendars are filling up. On one day she landed two long bookings. A guest came back to say yes to a three month stay. Then she followed up a contractor who had stayed before, telling him the property was getting busy, and he asked for six months. Alongside that, guests are booking direct outside Airbnb. Clare only needed £1,500 a month to replace her income so she could cut back her working days, and she's on track to do that from one property alone. With Simon helping her optimise her listings and set up payments, the next step is simple: lock the bookings in and get the next deal.
