Agree with Sergey; jump ship. 

I assume you can request certified mail receipt when printing a shipping label online?

There were two reasons I bought this lot... 1) for the city water and sewer, and 2) because there were no restrictions and therefore I could build RV sites AND site built or manufactured modern cabins, shipping container houses.

The point is, there are AMAZING deals in the rust belt, but no matter where you are, you have to know who is the captain of your ship .....or you may hit an iceberg, LOL!"

Plus houses are not rocket ships. 

This means that after I refinance INTO a 203k loan, I will get renovations done, and then jump ship and refinance OUT of the FHA 203k loan, to avoid paying PMI.

Hello I am hoping to gain some knowledge and or insight in using shipping containers for mini storage.

Shipping time was about a week.

I contend that they recoup those discounts in other ways, e.g. shipping fees, etc.
