I want to thank Lonnie for sharing all his knowledge & experience in note creation via mobile homes. I’m closing on my first deal today & am fired up. I highly recommend
using the ad " I buy, sell, & finance used mobile homes. NO
banks-Flexible terms. I put this ad in the weekly shopper($35 per month) I get at least two calls a day from it.
I also want to testify concerning the importance of gaining the trust of the PM. PM of park where MH is, has already given me two leads of folks wanting to sell. She even has someone who wants to buy one of the two MHs. Awesome!!!
My goal is to do 1 Lonnie deal a month for the next 36 months. Thanks again Lonnie…
P.S. You sell your books too cheaply!!!

Congratulations! Stick with your goal and you’ll work yourself out of a job.
Best wishes,
Lonnie
P.S. Feel free to send the difference in what you paid for the books, and what you think it should be.
