Tiny House / Shipping Container Community

Charles Ledet

Posted

Hello! I am very interested in buying or financing raw land and building a tiny house /shipping container community, renting them out as my first start into real estate... I am located in Austin, Texas area, 19 years old. I have a job/income but I am very confused on where to start exactly being as young as I am with as little capital as I have. I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, I just need some guidance or help.. Thank you!!

That seems like a rather ambitious way to get started in real estate - new development, of a type of property/residence in which the regulations and zoning are unclear. Many moving parts. It's great that you're thinking outside of the box. My personal recommendation would be that you look for something a little more straightforward, to get your foot in the door and start building relationships with folks who could help you pull this kind of project off.
