Container Home Build

[James Devoe]

Hi Everyone,

I'm playing with the idea of building a Shipping Container Home around Asheville, NC.

The plan is to either hold it as an STR, or to sell it.

The question I have is regarding Mortgages:

* If I hold the property for STR, I will want to be able to Re-finance my money back out (BRRR Method)

* If I sell it, I will want to make sure a buyer will be able to take out a mortgage for purchase. 

Does anyone know if it's possible to take on a mortgage for this type of structure?

Will this be dependent on the square footage?

@James Devoe Gotcha. You might be fine then. I had a deal a couple of years ago where the home looked like it could have been stick built, and the container was just part of the inside. I believe it appraised without issue.
