Herman from Maidstone, Kent, and his wife Lisa are on a mission to build long term income through rent to rent. After just six viewings, they landed their first deal, a four bed HMO in Abbey Wood, with a six bed semi detached house already in the pipeline. Herman shares how they kept things simple, stayed consistent and took the right action early. If you are new and wondering what is possible in your first few weeks, this shows what happens when you go all in together.

Paul Sargent is proof that consistency wins in rent to rent. Since joining Simon, he has grown steadily year on year, building a streamlined serviced accommodation business that now manages 42 units. He reflects on the moves that fuelled his growth: building strong relationships, focusing on systems and staying the course when others gave up. Whether you are starting out or looking to scale, this is a masterclass in playing the long game.

A year into their rent to rent journey, Mark and Alison have three live deals bringing in strong profit every month. It did not come easy. Mark quit his job to go all in, Alison juggled property with paid work, and the pressure to get it right was there every day. What made the difference was backing. Having Simon in their corner gave them clarity, confidence and answers when they needed them most, from help with systems to quick feedback that stopped doubts before they could grow. Now they are using their cashflow to move into BRRR and thinking bigger than ever.

Marina works full time as a contract manager, and her partner Kate already had some buy to lets. They wanted quicker cashflow than buy to let gives, so they looked at different property courses and chose Simon. Rent to rent clicked instantly: it didn't need much money up front, so they could do several deals with what they had. Marina booked a call and joined that same evening. Her only worry was that it was Kate's money, but hearing the success stories on the calls convinced her: if others can do it, so can we. Within a couple of months of really getting going, they had signed three deals, two in Coventry and one in Leamington Spa. Now landlords are coming to them, including a landlord's sister and even their decorator, and Kate has handed in her notice. Marina's advice: "Follow the process and trust the process, it will work."
