I Was Burning Out in Dentistry and Losing Money with Buy to Let. Then This Changed Everything

Watch the video below to find out how.

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

This wasn’t just a property tweak—it was a full business shift. Karen took a tired buy-to-let that was barely covering costs and turned it into a serviced accommodation unit generating real profit. What changed wasn’t just the strategy, it was the mindset and support behind it. With guidance from SSO and the drive to take control of her future, this unit became the start of a business that now supports her whole family.

This is Mentee of the Month Alaa—and her journey is nothing short of transformational. After 8 months with zero deals, she joined the programme and within just 6 months secured her first 3 properties, generating £1,400 per month in passive income. Fast forward just 4 months later, and Alaa has added a fourth deal to her portfolio—one that cost just £2,000 to set up and is now set to return that same figure every single month. Her total passive income has now reached £4,000/month—and she’s only just warming up. Alaa’s latest deal required just a £2,000 setup and is projected to generate £2,000/month in pure profit—making it her most efficient rent-to-rent yet. With four properties now producing £4,000/month total, she’s built serious momentum and continues to scale smart and fast.
