From the builders and brokers I have spoken with doing my research on container homes I am realizing that once a builder has completed the build of a shipping container home they are having a problem selling their properties because 1. appraiser are having a tough time appraising them, and 2. Lenders are not financing the buyers interested in purchasing these properties because  they are unwilling to take the risk on this new concept. 

Does anyone know of Lenders that are willing to finance shipping container homes? And/Or are their builders that have been able to sale their shipping container homes on the open market?

I want to build a shipping container home... what advice is out their when it comes time for me to put the property on the market and sell it, and not have to hold the property for a long period of time because no lending institutions want to finance it?

Completely agree that zoning and appraisals are some of the biggest hurdles to getting a container deal done. Lenders and developers are doing more container deals because most work can be completed in a warehouse, largely eliminating weather delays, which saves time and money. It’s becoming especially prevalent as an affordable housing solution, which localities are typically more flexible with in terms of zoning density and tax exemptions.

I understand that appraisals are a big issue when building container homes. Is there any reason why the properties are not appraising?

I also understand builders of these types of properties are having a hard time selling the container homes to their buyers because no banks want to finance them. What are the requirements needed ignorer to get these properties financed? And/Or are there any lenders that are already financing these properties for their clients?
