Sonya works in sales and was used to making money for somebody else. With three young children at home, she wanted more control, more income and more time with her family. Property stood out, and rent to rent was the most accessible route because it did not need a property purchase or large amounts of capital up front. Sonya and her husband Jamie joined SSO, followed the process and built their rent to rent business in Birmingham. They now have six properties and keep growing, with the goal of leaving corporate life and making different choices for their family.

Carlton and Tamara spent years in the creative industry working music festivals, where nobody thinks about pensions. They wanted to secure their own future, give their parents the retirement they deserve, and spend more time with their daughter. After getting burned on stocks and crypto, Carlton studied property and saw rent to rent was the best strategy for cashflow. They had already paid for another serviced accommodation course, but within weeks chose Simon for the community and support: people walking the walk who take the time to help you through each challenge. Within three months they had two deals in Manchester and London. The first came from a networking meeting with a landlord who wanted guaranteed rent, and it was booked out for its first six weeks. Now the landlord's business partner has offered them another property. Carlton finds the deals while Tamara runs the operations. His advice: "It's from consistent action that things actually start happening."

Nakita struggled to find landlords at first. Then she secured a direct deal with a property developer. She shares how she built her Short Stays business in London and grew to three high performing serviced accommodation units, how the developer deal came about, and why guest experience and presentation have been key to her results. She also talks openly about the challenges and how SSO mentorship gave her the tools and confidence to build something she is proud of.

Nithia shares her journey into rent to rent, from the internal battles and the learning curve to the community that gave her the clarity and confidence to keep going. Her story is full of honest reflections and real breakthroughs, showing that success in property is about mindset, support and sticking with it. If you are thinking about getting started but feel overwhelmed, this one will hit home.
