When Jason joined Sourced Property this summer, he had no previous property experience<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

Just 10 weeks after completing his induction, he had already secured three Rent to Rent opportunities across London and York, including one deal that generated \u00a34,000 profit from a single 90-day booking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The best bit? Jason didn’t need to buy any of the properties himself.<\/p>\n

What is Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rent to Rent is a property strategy where you lease a property from the owner and then rent it out to tenants or guests<\/strong>, under an agreed arrangement with the landlord.<\/p>\n

Depending on the property and agreement, this could involve operating it as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Serviced accommodation<\/li>\n
  • A corporate let<\/li>\n
  • A short-stay property<\/li>\n
  • An HMO<\/li>\n
  • A longer-term rental<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Because you are leasing rather than purchasing the property, Rent to Rent can provide a way to generate income from property without the capital required to buy it outright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    For Jason, it has given him a way to build his property business while taking a flexible approach to different types of opportunity.<\/p>\n

    How Jason made \u00a34,000 from one property<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Jason’s standout deal is a turnkey three-bedroom property in Central London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The location made it well suited to serviced accommodation, with potential demand from both holidaymakers and corporate guests.<\/p>\n

    Rather than relying on individual short stays, Jason secured a 90-day corporate booking almost immediately<\/strong>, taking the property through to Christmas.<\/p>\n

    The numbers looked like this:<\/p>\n

    Total income from 90 day stay:<\/strong> \u00a316,800<\/p>\n

    Monthly outgoings:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Rent to landlord: \u00a33,500pcm<\/li>\n
    • Bills: \u00a3400pcm<\/li>\n
    • Management fee: 25%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This 3 month booking is set to generate \u00a34,000 profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Having a management fee in place also means the day-to-day operation can be handled without Jason needing to manage every aspect himself.<\/p>\n

      Three properties, three different opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      The Central London property is only one part of Jason’s progress.<\/p>\n

      Within his first 10 weeks with Sourced Property, he also secured:<\/p>\n

      A two-bedroom city-centre property in York<\/strong>, operated as a short-stay opportunity.<\/p>\n

      A corporate let in West London<\/strong>, secured on a three-year lease and suited to longer-term corporate stays.<\/p>\n

      With different locations, property types and rental strategies<\/strong>, Jason has already created a diversified portfolio rather than relying on one type of tenant or one source of demand.<\/p>\n

      The combination of short stays and longer-term corporate income gives him multiple routes to generate revenue<\/strong>, while spreading his exposure across different markets and strategies.<\/p>\n

      For Jason, the result is three properties secured and ready to earn, without having to purchase the underlying properties<\/strong>, giving him a flexible portfolio designed to build more consistent, recurring income.<\/p>\n

      Why Rent to Rent can be an attractive starting strategy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      One of the biggest barriers to getting started in property is the amount of capital required to purchase an asset.<\/p>\n

      Rent to Rent works differently.<\/p>\n

      Rather than raising finance for a property purchase, the operator agrees a lease with the owner and takes responsibility for operating the property under the agreed terms.<\/p>\n

      That means the focus shifts towards:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Finding the right property<\/li>\n
      • Negotiating a suitable agreement with the landlord<\/li>\n
      • Understanding the target market<\/li>\n
      • Structuring the numbers correctly<\/li>\n
      • Securing tenants or guests<\/li>\n
      • Managing the property effectively<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The strategy isn’t risk-free. Rent, bills, management costs, voids and occupancy all need to be factored into the deal before committing. But Rent to Rent also offers the flexibility to switch between strategies, from holiday lets and corporate lets to traditional tenancies, depending on the property, local demand and seasonality. This can give operators more options when market conditions change.<\/p>\n

        And, when the numbers stack up, it can provide an efficient route into property entrepreneurship without needing to own the property itself.<\/p>\n

        From no experience to three deals in 10 weeks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

        Jason had never considered Rent to Rent before joining Sourced Property.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

        It was during his three-day induction that he was introduced to the strategy, and it immediately stood out as something he wanted to pursue. With the right approach and support behind him, he put what he learned into practice straight away.<\/p>\n

        Ten weeks later, he had:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • 3 Rent to Rent properties secured<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • \u00a34,000 profit from one 90-day booking<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Opportunities across London and York<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • No requirement to purchase the underlying properties<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          And he’s still building.<\/p>\n

          The aim isn’t simply to secure one profitable property. Each deal gives Jason another opportunity to build recurring income and develop his property business.<\/p>\n

          Building a property business without owning every property<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Rent to Rent isn’t the right strategy for every property or every investor.<\/p>\n

          But for people looking to enter property without immediately committing to purchasing an asset, it can be an interesting route to explore.<\/p>\n

          Jason’s experience shows what’s possible when you combine the right strategy with a clear process, support and access to opportunities.<\/p>\n

          His first 10 weeks have already taken him from no property experience to three secured Rent to Rent deals and \u00a34,000 profit from one booking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          And that’s just the beginning.<\/p>\n

          FAQs<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          What is Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Rent to Rent involves leasing a property from the owner and then operating it as an agreed rental model, such as serviced accommodation, a corporate let or another form of subletting.<\/p>\n

          Do you need to own a property to do Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          No. The strategy is based on leasing the property rather than purchasing it. However, the arrangement must be agreed with the property owner and comply with the relevant tenancy, lease and legal requirements.<\/p>\n

          How much money can you make from Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          There is no fixed amount. Profit depends on factors including the rent paid to the landlord, achievable rental income, occupancy, bills, management costs and other operating expenses. Jason’s Central London deal is an example where the projected profit is \u00a34,000 across a 90-day corporate booking.<\/p>\n

          Is Rent to Rent risk-free?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          No. Like any property strategy, Rent to Rent carries risks. The operator remains responsible for the costs and obligations agreed under the lease, while income can vary depending on occupancy and demand. The numbers should always be assessed carefully before taking on a property.<\/p>\n

          Can Rent to Rent be used for serviced accommodation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Yes. Subject to the landlord’s permission, the lease terms and any applicable local rules, Rent to Rent can be used to operate properties as serviced accommodation. Jason is using this model for his three-bedroom Central London property.<\/p>\n

          How quickly can you get started with Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          There is no standard timeframe because it depends on finding a suitable property, agreeing terms with the landlord and completing the necessary arrangements. Jason secured his first three opportunities within 10 weeks of joining Sourced Property.<\/p>\n

          Do you need previous property experience?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Not necessarily. Jason joined Sourced Property with no previous property experience. Training and support can help new investors understand different strategies, analyse opportunities and put a process in place for finding and securing deals.<\/p>\n

          Can you build recurring income through Rent to Rent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Potentially. Once a suitable property is secured and operating profitably, it can generate ongoing income while the agreement remains in place. Building multiple properties can create several income streams, although profitability will depend on the performance of each individual property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
