Rahul went from zero to five properties in just a few months. While juggling a full time job and family life, he has built a growing serviced accommodation business with steady income and long term bookings. His story shows what is possible when strategy meets commitment.

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.

Jide and Leonie secured their very first serviced accommodation deal well ahead of schedule. They share how focused action helped them land a standout property fast, and give you a tour of their brand new four bed detached house in Dartford, an exciting milestone at the start of their property journey.

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."
