Shipping container apartments in the city?
I have an idea of buying an empty lot in the city and putting 3 or 4 shipping container apartments on it. Does anyone have any info on this, or know anyone that’s done it? I appreciate the help. - Adam H

@Adam Horvath Used containers have a few negative things go with us (you could do some quick google search to know more). Building directly from manufacturer could be pricy if you work with the wrong one. If you know the right contact and the way they work, the price could be very competitive even includes the shipping fees.
Also like Matthew mentions above, each city/state has their own zoning and codes, working with a knowledgeable developer in the areas who would also help you install the container homes would help tremendously imho.
