Jody went from working in central London bars to building a rent to rent portfolio in Watford. With zero property experience, he secured his first deal in just three months. He shares the strategies that helped him get started, how he finds and secures properties, and the mindset that keeps him moving forward. Real world inspiration for anyone starting their own property journey.

Adnan's rent to rent journey started like many others, with doubt and uncertainty. Then he secured his first deal in East London and everything began to change. He shares how he found the property, what he learned running short stays, and why moving to longer bookings gave him steadier income with less stress and more control. His story is one of consistency, adapting as you go and thinking long term.

Karen spent years working 13 hour days in dentistry, raising two sons alone, with buy to lets that barely broke even. When her health forced her to face reality, her son introduced her to rent to rent and she joined SSO. She turned her underperforming buy to lets into serviced accommodation and saw an incredible first month. Since then she has launched three rent to rent deals in Cheltenham and secured another property in Cornwall. With the support, accountability and straight talking advice she says was missing from every other programme, Karen is finally building something real for herself and her family.

Paul Sargent is proof that consistency wins in rent to rent. Since joining Simon, he has grown steadily year on year, building a streamlined serviced accommodation business that now manages 42 units. He reflects on the moves that fuelled his growth: building strong relationships, focusing on systems and staying the course when others gave up. Whether you are starting out or looking to scale, this is a masterclass in playing the long game.
