Buying Land and Building Shipping Container homes in Los Angeles,

Hi everyone,

My hubby and I are looking to buy land and build a container multi-family home in Los Angeles county next year. Does anyone have any container building companies they recommend? We've been bombarded with  options and they all claim to be the best. Also, does anyone recommend any particular banks for construction perm loans?

Thanks!

Hey Brittney ,

I have bonded together multiple containers making them into a Mutli Family. 

Depending on City & State you may have a long trail of paperwork ahead.

I mainly focus on cities that give you leeway to be creative. 

Some States will be  fine with them  while other  Building Dept's don't understand the product  and consider them UFO like. 

When you go Big & Wide like mine you need some expertise and creativity .

Send me a private message if you want more info .. I'd be glad to share

You can see a sample MultiFamily under construction here  .    http://arcadianadvisors.com/multifamily-containers
