Taylor and Liam landed their first two rent to rent deals through one landlord, just six weeks after starting their journey. By building strong relationships and taking action straight away, they laid the groundwork for a portfolio built on trust. Taylor shares how they did it, from learning the strategy to landing real deals. Proof that fast progress is possible with the right approach.

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.

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.

Anne and Jeff are now full time property investors. Until recently, Anne was a supply chain analyst for a pharmaceutical company and Jeff ran a business building and designing pipe organs, which he still does on the side. Working with Simon, they have secured five rent to rent deals, and property is now their main focus. They talk about what it was like having Simon on the call for their first deal, and how that support was pivotal.
