Glenn is from Lincoln and serves in the Royal Navy as an operating department practitioner, working in operating theatres. He'd been interested in property for years, and spent the year or so before joining Simon researching his options. Rent to rent stood out for its quick cashflow with minimal risk. His why is his family. After so long away with the military, he wants time at home to watch his little boy grow up and give his children the life he wished he'd had. His biggest challenge was believing in himself. The step by step training suited his military way of working, and between Sally, his mentor and the team answering questions within two hours, every worry was quickly put to rest. Less than two months after joining, he got the keys to his first property, with a three week rent free set up period. Next, he plans to use the cashflow from deal one to fund deal two.

Rachel is from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and everything in her career led here. She spent her teens and twenties in hospitality running large rural estates and hotels, served in the police, then moved into property management as a private PA, managing fourteen tenancies for an investor who was turning his properties into Airbnbs. She has always wanted to be her own boss, run her own schedule and build a business she could eventually run from anywhere in the world. Her first deal of her own is a three bed in the upper rooms of a former Edwardian opera house, which she markets as The Stage Door. It came fully furnished with two bathrooms and smart TVs in every bedroom, and she even inherited the booking platforms. All she needed was some sheets and a coffee machine. Now she can keep her investor as a client while running things her own way.
