Louise & Clayton

Feyikemi was an accountant who used rent to rent to break free from the 9 to 5. With mentorship and a clear strategy, she secured a three bed new build house in Essex. She shares the steps she took to move from a stable career to building her own property business, and what made it all feel achievable.

Nithia shares her journey into rent to rent, from the internal battles and the learning curve to the community that gave her the clarity and confidence to keep going. Her story is full of honest reflections and real breakthroughs, showing that success in property is about mindset, support and sticking with it. If you are thinking about getting started but feel overwhelmed, this one will hit home.

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."

Belita is from Nepal and has spent the last five or six years in London as a chartered accountant at a property company. She always wanted a business she could call her own, because working for someone else has a ceiling. Her goal is time and financial freedom. Her first deal is a five bed house in Wembley with three and a half bathrooms, a big family living room and a view of Wembley Arch from one of the bedrooms. Guests love it. The extra bathrooms were a real guest magnet, so she said yes quickly. It has cashflowed positively from day one. Along the way, Simon was always there when she needed him, which helped her believe in herself and keep going. Her advice: "Believe in yourself and believe in the system, and just continually pursue. You will definitely get a yes one day."
