About Lonnie Scruggs

Lonnie Scruggs was born and raised in Virginia. He’s been in some type of business most of his adult life. For 35 years he owned, rented, managed, and maintained his own rental properties. After becoming a burned out landlord, he began selling off his properties and started buying discounted notes and mortgages. When it became more and more difficult to find good notes to buy, he found a way to create his own notes by buying, selling, and financing used mobile homes.

Lonnie is a board member of both the Tidewater Real Estate Investors Group and The Foreclosure Prevention Council of America. He speaks regularly at meetings locally and at national events throughout the United States.
