Using rent-to-rent to build a stronger retirement plan in West Sussex

Watch the video below to find out how.

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.

It has been a year since Mark and Alison started their rent to rent journey. They now have three live deals and are pulling in £2,500 a month profit, but none of it came easy. Mark quit his job to go all in. Alison juggled property with paid work. The pressure to get it right sat on their shoulders daily. But what made the difference was backing. Having Simon in their corner gave them clarity, confidence, and answers when they needed them most. From help with systems to quick feedback that crushed the doubts before they could grow, that support gave them space to think bigger. Now they are using their cash flow to move into BRRR and pushing past the mental block that once made scaling feel out of reach.

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.
