Do Things Really Change?

by Lonnie Scruggs

In 1986, I started buying used mobile homes for $2,000-$3,000, and selling them for $5,000-$6,000 with payments of $200-$300 per month. Some 19 years later, I’m still buying and selling mobile homes at the same prices, same payments. Yet, I keep hearing people say there is no way they can buy mobile homes for $2,000-$3,000 in today’s market. Horse feathers! You’re either not trying very hard, not looking in the right places, or you’re talking to the wrong people.

My local paper has a number of used mobile homes priced from $8,000 to over $50,000. Every park I ride through has sale signs posted. Every park manager I talk to knows of a home for sale. Every dealer has used homes for sale. Mobile home lenders have numerous repos for sale. There is no shortage of used mobile homes. But guess what? You will see very few, if any, priced for $2,000-$3,000. Guess that means there are no more “Lonnie Deals”, huh? Stop kidding yourself, there are plenty of deals to be had. But it’s up to you to talk with the seller and negotiate the deal. Good deals are negotiated, not found.

Deals are generated with people, not from ads and signs. I’ve taken a number of park managers to lunch, but I’ve never had lunch with an ad or a sign. You negotiate with people. Ads and signs only provide a way to contact people who you can communicate with, negotiate with, and generate a deal with.

Last month, I bought a mobile home for 2 months lot rent from someone who was evicted from the park. Another seller in the same park wants $1,500 for his home. Last week, I bought back a home I sold 13 years ago, for $500 (that’s five hundred). I have it priced at $4,900 and expect it to be sold shortly. My daughter just sold a home for $7,000, which she paid $3,000 for. So have things really changed in this niche market? No, not really.

In 1986 I was buying mobile homes for $2,000-$3,000 and selling for $5,000-$6,000. Today I’m still buying homes for $2,000-$3,000 and selling for $5,000-$6,000. In 1986, it was, “How Much Down & How Much a Month?” Today it’s still “How Much down & How Much a Month?”

There have been enormous changes in almost everything over the past 19 years. Prices, wages, lot rents, etc have increased considerably. But one thing will never change…the need for affordable housing by financially irresponsible people who can only buy things by making monthly payments. This niche market offers the same tremendous money making opportunities today, as it did 19 years ago. And I’m willing to bet it will be the same 19 years in the future. Some things change, but people don’t.

Regardless rather you’re selling a mobile home, car, boat, refrigerator, carpet, or simply making somebody a loan; your goal should be to create a note that obligates somebody to send you a check each month. Used mobile homes have been, and still are, an excellent vehicle to create notes and cash flow. But it’s only one vehicle. The same concept applies for anything you’re willing to lend money on, and accept as collateral. The name of the game is FINANCING! That’s where the money is!

I’d like to take this opportunity to extend a personal invitation to each of you to join the rest of us in the UBA Club (Unemployed Bubba’s/Bubberette’s of America). Make plans to join us soon. You’ll be glad you did.

To your success,

Lonnie Scruggs

Who is Lonnie Scruggs?

Lonnie Scruggs was born and raised in Virginia. For 35 years he owned, rented, managed and maintained his own rental properties. When he became a burned out landlord he started selling off his properties and buying discounted notes. When it became difficult to find good notes to buy, Lonnie found a way to "make" h is own with mobile homes.

Here are just a few of the many written letters and testimonials Lonnie has received from folks around the country:

I've been in the business for three months now and in that time I've done seven mobile home deals, most of which are yielding in excess of 100% returns.
---T.B., Beloit, WI
I purchased your book about a year ago and since then I've done 32 mobile home deals in the Houston area.
---G.M., Houston, TX
Enclosed is my check for Making Money With Mobile Homes. Also, thank you for the $5,000 I made last month from your first book.
---T.P., Corning, NY
On March 20th we purchased your book and on April 28th purchased our first mobile home. We sold it 17 days later at a profit of $5,030. As of today, we have bought 14 mobile homes and sold 12 and made money on all of them.
---M.K., Scottsdale, AZ
I've been doing "Lonnie" deals locally and they are working out pretty good. The deal I closed yesterday was a 10 x 50, 2/1 in an old park near where we live. We bought it for $3,000 and in two days sold it for $6,500 with $2,000 down. We took back a note for $4,500, 12.75% interest, 36 payments of $151.06. My yield = GOOD ENOUGH, as you say.
---R.M., Glendeden Beach, OR
Lonnie, I got your second book today and got so excited (again) that I just had to share this with you. We just bought a mobile home here in our park for $3,000 and sold it in a couple of days for $8,500. Got $3,000 down and have a note for $5,500 payable $230 / month for 30 months. Thanks again....
---D.O., Santa Fe, NM
