. : $(15k-20k) ~I see a lot of delta here between a potential final asking price and a total project cost.All in all, I think that there is a market for this type of modern, "environmentally friendly" type of home, and I've seen news-stories on successful storage container homes that were built in Denver.Should I believe all of the hype, or am I drinking too much kool-aid?

I do not have schooling or a career that pays good I'm stuck making $9-$12 / hour jobs & im sick of living this up and down life style, when i finally get my cars paid off and getting ahead i get knocked down and have to sell them to make it then i lose everything i worked for.

I might add, seriously, don't "cold call" me 90s style - if you are local just hit me up on facebook through a local group or send me a text. 

You may want to check for flood plain issues and possibly have a phase 1 environmental study as well.

if you happen to invest in an appreciating market then the market will forgive you the errors you make, real estate is a very forgiving business. but on the other hand, if you are wrong, you will be stuck with it for years to come and becomes a drag to hinder your life style in the coast.

A condotel is a unit(condo) in resort/hotel style setting.  

Whatever your style is, I guess. my style would be an B+ 3/2  and put the other money towards retiring me.

Set a designated parking spot for each room. and limit storage in any other area of the house. roommate style housing is tricky, if your not also living there someone is more than likely going to have issues with someone else. 

They want to see nothing has materially changed from property tax and other records when they evaluate a property.For commercial a separate phase one environmental and pcr (property condition report) is performed.

I'm guessing from your post that you're not suited for that so my personal opinion is that you counter with something that suits your style or you walk from the deal.
