Ryan from South East London is proof that slow and steady still wins. In his first year, he built a portfolio of two well run units that bring in steady income. He shares what it really looks like to grow without the noise: focused action, strong relationships and a long term mindset. If you want a grounded, real world look at how rent to rent works over time, this is it.

Adam takes you inside his latest rent to rent deal, a 17th century cottage restored to blend vintage character with modern touches. From bold design choices to clever savings, including a £5 roulette table, the cottage now sleeps eight guests in comfort and style. Adam explains how the right education gave him the confidence to take on the project and transform it. Small upgrades like new decking and a reworked garden lifted the guest experience and helped the property stand out, and in peak season it can bring in up to £3,000 a month. Proof that a charming property can also be a serious business.

Sharon's story began with over 18 months of follow up with a vendor before she finally secured the deal. Her portfolio is three well located two bed flats in Worcester, all sourced directly. She shares how she furnished them on a budget, added smart home tech to control utility costs, and landed an impressive 189 night booking across all three flats. A great example of how patience and preparation pay off in rent to rent.

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.
