Yasmin worked in recruitment and then university careers advice, and Pash spent years as a solutions architect in tech. When both stepped away from work for family and personal reasons, they asked themselves how they could earn money working for themselves. They had tried an Amazon drop shipping business before, where the promised training and one to one support never really came, so they were sceptical at first. Simon reassured them, and the support started straight away: a call with Guy, weekly group calls and a community that has been amazing. Within a week or two of starting, Pash found their first landlord on OpenRent. The flat had already been an Airbnb, so the deal was done quickly. They are now on deal four with a fifth in the pipeline. Their London Bridge flat was fully booked for two months within four days of going live. Yasmin's advice: "Do it. It's scary at first, but it is absolutely worth it."

Sandra's story is about grit, growth and refusing to settle. Based in Croydon, she pushed through over 100 viewings before landing the deal that changed everything: a high performing serviced accommodation unit full of contractor bookings. More than the income, it is the confidence, purpose and independence that have transformed her life. She shares how she overcame rejection, self doubt and setbacks to create real freedom, and inspired a whole community along the way.

Alisha's first rent to rent deal is a newly renovated three bed, one and a half bath terrace in Manchester, now stylish serviced accommodation. She shares how she found the property, the design choices she made, and how she targets the right guests, from construction workers to groups visiting the Etihad and the Co-op Live arena. She also gives her tips on negotiating, managing bookings and growing her portfolio.

Cat ran a creative agency before making a bold move into property. Her first deal is a luxury serviced accommodation unit in Chelsea, one of London's most prestigious postcodes. With her creative eye and strong commercial instincts, she has turned it into a high performing business and built a strong base for what comes next. If you want to break into high end property, or bring your existing skills into rent to rent, this story is for you.
