A little “Lonnie” deal
I was giving the office a little “free” time Sat. AM and the computers were down, so I went back through a little
mobile home park down the street from the plant. There were some homes for sale that I had seen and went back to get the phone numbers. "THE LADY HAD A UHAUL TRUCK THERE MOVING OUT!! TALK ABOUT A MOTIVATED SELLER!!
She said she was asking $1,800 and that the new a/c unit, new fridge, and new stove stayed with the unit. So I shut up. NO emotion and a yellow pad. What’s the least you’ll take. After a series of “no you offer/ no you offer”, she finally said I’ll take $1,500. I asked her,“if I bring you the cash today, since you’re moving into your new rental home, would you take $1,200?”
She said “Yes, but you know I am GIVING this to you.” I said “I know, I’ll be right back with the cash.”
So, for $1,200 I bought a 12 x 65 1972 Souvenier Home 3BR-1 BA with new appliances and it now has a for sale by owner and OWNER FINANCING. The last thing she said to me was.“THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THIS REALLY HELPED ME OUT! YOU REALLY TOOK A LOAD OFF MY MIND!”
Thanks fellas, the convention in Atlanta really changed my life,
