Step by step training gave me the confidence to know it will work

Watch the video below to find out how.

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.

Meet the Grant family, Claudia, Curtis and Gary, who are turning rent to rent into a family mission. With the right education, they secured their very first deal within one month: a two bed flat in Shepherd's Bush found on OpenRent. It was not just strategy that got them there, it was teamwork. By playing to each other's strengths, they built real relationships with landlords and laid the foundation for long term success. For the Grants, this is about building a legacy and showing what a family can do together.

Mia and her partner always wanted to get into property, and rent to rent was the way to build cashflow first, then invest in property they own. Mia had always wanted to run Airbnbs too. The support at Simon Smith Online made the difference: unlimited calls, everything personalised, and Harry keeping them going through every viewing. Around four months after joining, they opened a six bed, two bath house in Sheffield city centre. They listed it a few days early, enquiries came in straight away, and on opening day the photographer left at three o'clock and the first guests checked in fifteen minutes later. Those guests booked a week, then another, then a month, and are now talking about six months. That one booking cleared every doubt she had. They've chosen a long, secure booking that keeps the house hands off. Now they're looking for units two and three. Mia's verdict on the support: "Couldn't have been any better."
