Rent-to-Rent: Investor FAQ

1. What is Rent-to-Rent (R2R)?

Rent-to-Rent is a property strategy where we lease properties from landlords and convert them into fully managed, high-cash-flow rental units (usually HMOs). We don’t own the properties, but we generate income by renting the rooms individually.

2. How do you make money without owning the property?

We secure long-term lease agreements with landlords at a fixed monthly rent. We then rent the property out room by room (as a HMO or co-living space), and the difference between what we pay the landlord and what we receive from tenants is our profit. After covering all expenses, this provides strong monthly cash flow.

3. Why would a landlord agree to Rent-to-Rent?

Because we offer them:

  • Guaranteed rent(even during voids)

  • Zero management(we take full responsibility)

  • Long-term agreements(3–5 years)

  • Peace of mindwith no letting agent fees or tenant issues

It’s a hands-free solution that appeals to many landlords.

4. How do investors get involved?

Investors typically partner with us in two ways:

  • Fixed Return Investment– You lend capital (e.g. £5,000–£10,000) for furnishing, licensing, and setup. In return, we offer a fixed monthly or annual return.

  • Joint Venture (JV)– You fund the deal and share in the monthly profits. We do all the sourcing, setup, compliance, tenanting, and management.

5. What are the typical returns?

Returns vary depending on deal structure, but typically:

  • Fixed Return Investors: 8–12% annually

  • JV Partners: 50% share of net monthly profits 

All returns are backed by signed agreements and full transparency.

6. What is the typical investment per deal?

Depending on the size and condition of the property, startup costs per deal (for furnishings, deposit, setup, licensing) usually range from £5,000 to £10,000. We keep costs low through smart sourcing and in-house setup.

7. How is my investment protected?

We offer:

  • Investor Agreementsoutlining terms, timeline, and returns

  • Security clausesto protect your capital

  • Option to have your funds secured against assets or revenue(subject to deal)

We’re focused on building long-term relationships based on transparency and results.

8. What kind of properties do you work with?

  • 3–5 bed houses in high rental demand areas

  • Close to transport links, hospitals, or universities

  • Properties that are compliant or can be quickly brought up to HMO standards

9. Is Rent-to-Rent scalable?
