Kind of easy when you get the hang of it, isn’t it? Gary

We just completed the sale of our second home last weekend. This was much more along the lines of a “Lonnie” deal, a little cleaning, a little paint, replaced the carpet in the front room and new stickon tiles in the kitchen and bath. The person I bought it from had it for sale at $8,000 for several months and didn’t get a single prospect. I was able to get it for $2500.00, $500.00 more for the supplies and we sold it in 5 weeks for $7500.00 cash. I did have another couple that would have paid me $9,000.00 if I financed but I like the money in hand. And this is where the networking comes in handy. John T, who also posts here, had a home for sale in the same park. I sent my second couple to him and they should be completing their sale in the near future. We are looking at a third one now, this one in a different park and a little lower in cost and economic level, but I think it should be ok. There are about 50 units in this new park and I think about 45 of them are occupied, it looks neat and not much trouble there from what I can find. This is one that was selling for $2500.00 but I’m getting it for $650.00. The mother has moved into assisted living and that’s what they need to cover the back lot rent. It took me a while to get started but it sure is fun now that I have.
