Jeanie & Stuart Mann

Meet Oliver Robakowski and Sam Brown—two ex-soldiers who made the bold decision to pursue financial freedom through rent-to-rent in the heart of the capital. With no prior property experience, they chose this strategy as their next mission—and it’s already paying off. This first deal for Oliver and Sam is a strong start—a rent-to-rent property in London producing up to £1,500 in monthly passive income. It's more than just cash flow—it's the foundation of a brand-new chapter, proving that with discipline, strategy, and the right guidance, life after the military can be just as rewarding.

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.

It has been a year since Mark and Alison started their rent to rent journey. They now have three live deals and are pulling in £2,500 a month profit, but none of it came easy. Mark quit his job to go all in. Alison juggled property with paid work. The pressure to get it right sat on their shoulders daily. But what made the difference was backing. Having Simon in their corner gave them clarity, confidence, and answers when they needed them most. From help with systems to quick feedback that crushed the doubts before they could grow, that support gave them space to think bigger. Now they are using their cash flow to move into BRRR and pushing past the mental block that once made scaling feel out of reach.

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
