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. If you're wondering how to make rent-to-rent work remotely, this is the video you need to see.

What makes Sharon’s story powerful is how it began: over 18 months of consistent follow-up with a vendor before finally securing the deal. From sourcing her properties directly to negotiating strong terms, Sharon shows what’s possible when patience meets preparation. She shares how she furnished the units cost-effectively, added smart home tech for better utility control, and secured an impressive 189-night booking across all three flats. With guaranteed rent of £1,200 per unit and high occupancy, her business is now thriving—and her journey is packed with valuable lessons for any aspiring investor. Sharon’s portfolio includes three well-located, two-bedroom flats in Worcester, each secured on guaranteed rent at £1,200 per month. Through strategic setup, smart tech, and direct sourcing, she’s maximised efficiency and income—most notably with a single 189-night booking that filled all three units. A perfect example of how strategic action and long-term thinking pay off in rent-to-rent.

Meet Stephanie Limuaco, a full-time digital project manager, mum, and driven property entrepreneur, who found herself stretched thin trying to balance family, a demanding career, and the early stages of a rent-to-rent business in London. With mounting pressure to make the numbers work fast, limited capital, and a string of dead-end viewings and difficult negotiations, the dream started to feel distant. But she didn’t give up. Instead, with the right support and sharper execution, she turned a corner, securing her first deal and generating over £2,000 per month profit on Airbnb. This is a raw, real journey of overcoming doubt, delays, and decision-fatigue to finally get traction in a business that’s now starting to work for her. If you’re battling overwhelm and second-guessing whether it’s worth it, this one’s for you.
