STR/AirBNB : Container Homes

Would I run into any issues renting/airbnbing low costing container homes rather than building homes on a 5000 sqft lot?

That depends completely on what the local market is (what are AirBNB users typically looking for?), what local zoning laws are (are container homes allowed?  How many can you legally put on your lot?), and a real cost analysis of container home vs. site- built home.  They may not be as cheap as you think.
