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.

In this exclusive interview filmed at the #R2Rsuperconf, Sharon and her husband Rodney share their inspiring journey into the world of rent-to-rent—proving you don’t have to live near your property to build a profitable portfolio. Managing their first deal in Penarth, just outside Cardiff, all the way from London, they reveal how technology, automation, and strong systems have allowed them to operate efficiently and confidently from a distance. With plans to return to Bristol and expand further, Sharon and Rodney talk openly about the challenges, the mindset, and the strategies that have helped them scale smart and stay focused. If you're wondering how to make rent-to-rent work remotely, this is the video you need to see.

Before joining SSO, Jeanie tried to make property work on her own. She put in the hours, paid for training, followed the steps—but nothing stuck. No deals. No real progress. Just pressure, second guessing, and wondering if it was all a waste. That changed when she joined Elite. With proper mentorship, a clear structure, and daily support, she finally started to build momentum. Now, she and her husband Stuart have three live deals. This week alone they secured their second and third, and they’re already gearing up for the next. Jeanie’s not guessing anymore. She’s taking action, with confidence, and the results are showing.

From full-time builder to full-time property entrepreneur—Ben’s journey through rent-to-rent has completely changed his life.

Ben opens up about the key mindset shifts that fuelled his growth, the role of mentorship and community in accelerating his success, and how rent-to-rent gave him the time, financial freedom, and flexibility he never thought possible. Now a mentor within the SSO community, Ben is helping others follow the same proven path—and showing that with the right support and belief, you can create a life on your own terms.
