Meet Tharusha from Milton Keynes—proof that you don’t need years of experience to make rent-to-rent work. Within just 90 days of starting one-to-one mentorship, he secured his first deal: a two-bed house transformed into a high-performing Airbnb for professionals. With an 80% occupancy rate and £1,000 in monthly profit already coming in, Tharusha’s fast start is a clear example of what’s possible when you follow the right steps and take action. If you’re sitting on the fence or waiting for “the right time,” this is your sign to start.

This is Mentee of the Month Alaa—and her journey is nothing short of transformational. After 8 months with zero deals, she joined the programme and within just 6 months secured her first 3 properties, generating £1,400 per month in passive income. Fast forward just 4 months later, and Alaa has added a fourth deal to her portfolio—one that cost just £2,000 to set up and is now set to return that same figure every single month. Her total passive income has now reached £4,000/month—and she’s only just warming up. Alaa’s latest deal required just a £2,000 setup and is projected to generate £2,000/month in pure profit—making it her most efficient rent-to-rent yet. With four properties now producing £4,000/month total, she’s built serious momentum and continues to scale smart and fast.

Karen spent years working 13-hour days in dentistry, raising two sons alone, with nothing to show for it but stress, fatigue, and rental properties that barely broke even. Health issues forced her to face reality—she couldn’t keep going like this. But everything changed when her son introduced her to rent-to-rent and she joined SSO. She converted her underperforming buy-to-lets into serviced accommodation and saw £13,000 turnover in her first month. Since then, she’s launched three rent-to-rent deals in Cheltenham, secured another property in Cornwall, and now earns over £20,000 a month in profit. With the support, accountability and straight-talking advice she says was missing from every other programme, Karen is finally building something real—for herself, for her family, and for the life she nearly thought she’d missed

In this exclusive interview filmed at the #R2Rsuperconf, Sharon and her husband Rodney share their inspiring journey into the world of rent-to-rent—proving you don’t have to live near your property to build a profitable portfolio. Managing their first deal in Penarth, just outside Cardiff, all the way from London, they reveal how technology, automation, and strong systems have allowed them to operate efficiently and confidently from a distance. With plans to return to Bristol and expand further, Sharon and Rodney talk openly about the challenges, the mindset, and the strategies that have helped them scale smart and stay focused.
