Shipping Container Land

[Anonymous No.2312516]

Don't get a lambo, cars are bad investments, get a used car and paint the rims a fancy color when you sell.

Get a tiny container home instead. $2000 for a 40 ft container then you can pay a contractor to do pic related for $10k. Put solar for another $10k with batteries and you are off grid. You can load on a trailer and go anywhere with tow.


Shipping container land. VergeBlue and SwarmCity Yellow I'll paint my container those colors.

[Anonymous No.2312537]

looks pretty comfy, tbqh. I live in a studio apartment so I don't really mind the small space. The problem is you'd also need to buy the land to put the container on.

500 dollar land in S Texas for hard mode off gridders, up to 5k fot land in Alamosa, CO, and once you get close to 20k you can buy enough land anywhere. I've been considering this or RV/Tiny house (on a foundation) myself

You'll be charged a lot more than 10k for the work. Try more like 65k for acceptable work. And that's before you buy the land to put it on. Don't tell me you were going to build your container home and then rent the land? What's the point!

Off the grid isn't my style. I need to live close enough to the city where I can still access groceries, restaurants, etc.

I've got $35k in cash and about $90k in crypto, so I'm getting close enough to afford something like this. My dream is to buy outright and never pay rent again.

Framing, electrical, plumbing, grid hookups, fabrication and metal cutting, windows, cabinets, appliances, storage and foundation (unless you stick it on timbers, but what would you want to do that?). It all adds up. You could probably get it down to 40k if you don't mind a more spartan home.

I've considered buying those in low-tax areas within driving distance of vacation spots so I can just avoid hotels during vacation season and resell them later, but they cost more than usual.

For example, my home town is near Memphis, TN. 5 Acres and a $60,000 2Bed 1Bath prefab home would cost me about $100,000.

That's less than 5% away from the median home value (and the median home doesn't have that much land). I could keep it as a summer home and sell it likely at a profit since they intend to develop the area over the next 10 years.

you'd still need to pay for utility hookups, foundation, etc, and of course also the land to put it on. Still probably north of $100k when all is said and done.

Personally, if I go all into this, I'd get land on the FL panhandle between Panama City Beach and Pensacola, FL (Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton counties) but at least 7+ miles north of the Gulf Coast. Zero income tax in FL, nice vacation spots in Destin close by, and cheap land. Away from crazy "Florida man" stories which are usually Tallahassee and on the main part of Florida. It just gets a little southern at times.

Florida is my plan too. I've been looking at the Tampa area. Lots of cheap housing around there if you go out into the sticks a little bit, but still close to a mid-sized city for the night-life, events, etc. My parents recently bought a very nice 2br house in Bradenton for about $130k. You can buy a very nice 1br condo in that area for like 70k.

I live in San Jose, CA. With median prices around $1 million, buying a house here is totally out of the question. Right now and am paying $1700 a month to rent a studio apartment. If rents keep going up like they have been it won't be long before I'm totally priced out. Plus, now they're talking about a 15% tax in CA to pay for universal health care for illegals. If that passes I'll no longer be able to afford to live here. I need to start thinking about moving soon. My biggest concern is finding a good job in Florida.

I have a job, but because it's cucktier, the saving process takes a while, as well as building/living out there doesn't happen overnight if you don't have sufficient money. Good/Fast/Cheap triangle is how I think about it. I want it cheap and good, but that means it won't be fast, mostly because I have no means of securing more money, nor the desire to increase the pace of things right now. I only have 1k put away, which I know is sad. Seeing much higher figures of other anon just by playing the coin game is startling.

Also i have seen plenty of animu, though, i don't know how you define my lack of weeb-status.

I attend university in the Midwest (central IL). There are very few black people, but plenty of niggers there. ZERO other races (mexicans, asians) outside of college campus. I'm going to live there for a bit to take advantage of the proposed 15 dollar minimum wage hike (works out even with raised income tax and single person apts at $500/month), which is 2x as much as Georgia where I currently live. I spend very little money in IL because of the high sales tax, but it only works out in my favor. Invested almost all my savings into crypto and it's worth 3x as much now in 4 weeks.

I'm aiming to be as cheap as possible for a few years before cashing out and living large

If you're in your mid to early twenties, then the greatest thing that you could do with your money would be to use it to earn a college degree which is in demand & pays well (CompSci) or going to trade school. While going to school, you should use a portion of your earnings to research & start your own company. If your business does well, then you should be able to enter fuck you money territory pretty easily over the long-term. If your business fails, then you'll be able to put that you have experience owning and operating a business.

The amount of potential money that you're leaving off the table by not getting certified in a skill for a job at an early age FAR outweighs the money you'd be saving from living off the grid in a metal box for the rest of your life.

If you're absolutely set on moving to florida, try Jacksonville/St. Augustine/Daytona Areas. You can buy land close enough to the beach and its developing a ton so your property would probably appreciate much faster.

There's basically no way to do what you're suggesting for under 20k, even if you did all the work yourself and had all the tools. Before you can even start work you have to spend minimum $2500 for a container in good shape plus $500 to $1000 on some BASIC building plans.

I should say that I'm not against container homes. I actually think they are pretty cool and with the right architect and designer show off a mid century modern type look. But if you get into container home, or even a small home, thinking you're getting g great value for your money you're being a mongoloid, if anything these meme homes are a sign that society is in the process of collapsing since people can no longer afford a single family home on a piece of land.

I've read stories about people trying to live off grid in California in the desert areas where they bought very cheap land. What ended up happening was that the gov't demanded that they be connected to the grid even though they were far from any powerlines. When the people living there refused to comply, they were given notices of alleged violations of various regulations. Eventually, the were forced to demolish everything in their property.
