Thanks for also sharing your wisdom and spreading some light in regards to the degree path I was considering taking.

I heard Bill Murray's group is building a development near downtown Charleston using containers, a high rent area, which may be the sweet spot for this product, vs the country where folks can buy a brick ranch home for $50,000.One advantage I see is stack-ability: if you can get around 3-5 units high, that could offer nice benefits on tough/tight sites.  

I've also read that other countries are selling U.S. debt/treasuries and more economists are predicting a recession.
