Certanily, I could call customer service and ask, but that's what I did before opening the U.S.

He couldn't provide me the rent roll but saying the customers pay cash to the owner, which I think it's a bit suspicious even though he claimed the cap rate with the Excel spreadsheet saying it's over 11%.

Long story short, I was able to convince my original installer that I deserved a new coil and free installation because this was obviously a manufacturer's error (Lennox lost the suit) and I as a customer should not have to bear the cost of their mistake.

Most of the new builds are going in on tiny lots in packed-in neighborhoods.If you can find a decent size lot (my idea of decent of .4 - .7) that is reasonably priced, and remotely close to anything, and would accommodate a custom home, custom homes are not cheap right now - they really never have been "cheap".

That is usually determined by “local custom” though.

I do think you have an idea worth exploring, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is some potential customers turned off by the look/feel of the industrial containers as opposed to traditional building so it may limit your customer base some.

-Customer serviceThe agents are always nice and courteous.

Tighten operations and make sure your customer service is above the competition.   

@Shu Zhu if you are comfortable lending the funds to your customer then go for it. 

Investing in the hood is very profitable to the landlord not afraid to get things done and claim his profits .. but if your frightened to even drive through the area then you clearly don’t have what it takes to invest there .
