One viewing on OpenRent led to my first deal

Watch the video below to find out how.

Kemi is a product manager in Swindon who always wanted to get into property but didn't have the money for buy to lets. She spent two years going to free sessions, and at one event felt pressured into signing up for something that didn't feel right. Then she found Simon, and liked how simply he broke the process down. As a structured person, she followed the programme step by step, taking notes as she went. She found a landlord on OpenRent, got a viewing, and spent it getting to know him rather than pitching. When he mentioned his letting agent charged him and did nothing, she showed him her management company website. He was impressed, offered her another of his properties, and that became her first serviced accommodation deal. Two weeks later he called back to ask if she could manage 150 flats. Her goal is 10 properties and a family business for her three boys. Kemi's advice: "Stay consistent and believe that you can do it, because you can."

Burr is a dentist in Manchester who loves his job and has no plans to leave it. But things at home made him realise he needed income that didn't depend on him being there in person. He started with a serviced accommodation unit using a deal sourcer and a management company, but the management fell below standard, so he took over himself and joined Simon. At first he wondered whether rent to rent was legit and why a landlord would agree. Once his first unit was running, he had his proof. Following the course step by step, he optimised that unit and it started making a healthy profit every month. Three months after joining he had gone from one property to four, ahead of his own target, all while still working and teaching as a dentist with his wife Mary's support. Now landlords and investors are coming to him. His advice: "If the why is strong enough, you just can't run out of fuel."
