It has been a year since Mark and Alison started their rent to rent journey. They now have three live deals and are pulling in £2,500 a month profit, but none of it came easy. Mark quit his job to go all in. Alison juggled property with paid work. The pressure to get it right sat on their shoulders daily. But 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 crushed the doubts before they could grow, that support gave them space to think bigger. Now they are using their cash flow to move into BRRR and pushing past the mental block that once made scaling feel out of reach.

After spinning their wheels with other property education and walking away with nothing to show for it, Louise and Clayton were close to giving up. But since joining SSO, everything’s changed. Within just four weeks, they’ve landed two strong rent-to-rent deals and finally feel like they’re on a path that works. In this video, they open up about what didn’t work elsewhere, what finally clicked, and why finding the right guidance made all the difference. If you’ve been burned, doubting the process, or questioning your next step—this is the comeback story you need to hear.

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.

“I started working with Simon several months ago and since then I've managed to get rent-to-rent deals in the bag, with more in the pipeline. I think Simon has been the vital key to me securing my first deal because I'd worked with other people previously and they were unable to supply the level of value that Simon offers. He really pushed me to go for the deal I had on the table, and helped me through the process of saying the right things and having all of the right documents. ”
