STR using a shipping container
I just started my first investment with an AirBnb. I purchased land in TwentyNine Palms/Joshua Tree. Then i purchased a shipping container and converted it into a home. It will be using solar and propane for energy. A Homebiogas system for sewage (for now) and public water.
Has anyone done something like this before and can give advise? Thank you in advanced.

@Luke Carl and @John Underwood You guys are both old farts...sounds like an adventure to me....
But yes, check with the County before you move ahead move further, maybe you already have? I know some California counties have strict laws regarding shipping containers at all, let alone use as living space...
