“Lonnie Dealers” are investors who buy and sell or buy and rent mobile homes inside mobile home parks, labeled after an early advocate of this concept named Lonnie Scruggs. And although this investment program had a lot of interest in the 1990s, the number of individuals engaged in this sector has been continually dwindling. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we’re going to explore the “Lonnie Deal”, its waning popularity, and the resulting impact on the mobile home park industry.

In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we’re going to review the plan of attack if you have only a handful of vacancies to fill.

In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we’re going to explore the fundamentals of “stretching” and determine their quotient of risk.
