Sonia & Jamie

Simon and Celen Sullivan had carried the desire to start their property journey for a long time. After growing up in East London, living in Essex for almost 30 years, and later moving to Littlehampton on the south coast, they had spent most of their lives working various jobs, raising their family, and building a life together. Married for 38 years, with two daughters and two young grandchildren, they reached a stage where they wanted to build something new for their future. Their pensions were not where they wanted them to be, and they wanted to create a retirement fund that could give them more financial security in the years ahead. Rent-to-rent gave them a practical way to start building income from property without needing to buy a house first. Since joining SSO, Simon and Celen have secured two rent-to-rent deals and started proving to themselves that it is not too late to build something new. For them, this is not just about property. It is about seizing the opportunity, putting in the work, and creating a stronger future for themselves and their family.

After spinning their wheels with other property education and walking away with nothing to show for it, Louise and Clayton were close to giving up. But since joining SSO, everything’s changed. Within just four weeks, they’ve landed two strong rent-to-rent deals and finally feel like they’re on a path that works. In this video, they open up about what didn’t work elsewhere, what finally clicked, and why finding the right guidance made all the difference. If you’ve been burned, doubting the process, or questioning your next step—this is the comeback story you need to hear.

Her journey is filled with honest reflections, valuable lessons, and moments of real breakthrough—showing that success in property isn’t just about deals, it’s about mindset, support, and sticking with it. If you’re thinking about getting started but feel overwhelmed—this one will hit home.

From struggling to find landlords to securing a direct deal with a property developer, Nakita’s journey into rent-to-rent shows what’s possible with persistence, smart strategy, and the right support. In this video, she shares how she built her Short Stays property business in London and scaled to three high-performing serviced accommodation units generating £12,000 per month. She reveals how the deal with a developer came about, what it took to set up each unit for success, and why guest experience and presentation have been crucial to her results. Nakita also talks openly about the challenges she faced, and how being part of the SSO mentorship gave her the tools and confidence to push through and build something she’s proud of.
