Courtnie is an estate agent from Birmingham who has built a successful income stream through rent to rent while working full time. She secured a four bed property in Solihull and focused on short stays for contractors and visitors to the NEC. Within two weeks, the bookings were covering her monthly costs. She shares how she got started, how she finds reliable guests, and how she manages the property alongside her career. Ideal for anyone who wants to explore rent to rent without giving up the day job.

Sheree from Newport started with zero experience and one clear goal: to change her life through property. In just three months she secured her first deal, a three bed semi minutes from home, with three more lined up across Newport, Bristol and Cardiff. She breaks down exactly how she did it: setting up the business, getting compliant, building credibility and networking like a pro. A clear example of focused, fast progress.

Matt is proof that location is no barrier in rent to rent. Based in Lisbon, he has built a thriving serviced accommodation business in the UK without needing to be on the ground. With two rent to rent deals and a growing management arm, he shares how he built a lean system from abroad, how he keeps quality and control remotely, and why this model gives the freedom so many investors are chasing.

Simon and Celen Sullivan had wanted to start their property journey for a long time. Married for 38 years, with two daughters and two young grandchildren, they reached a stage where they wanted to build something new. Their pensions were not where they wanted them to be, and they wanted more financial security for the years ahead. Rent to rent gave them a practical way to build income from property without buying a house first. Since joining SSO, they have secured two deals and proved to themselves that it is never too late to build something new.
