TIA. a shipping container home. you can buy them prebuilt. stack them like "apartments" or connect multiple for larger units. structurally sound, weather and fire resistant. they look cool. and because of their size the entire house can be built in a shop (no bad weather days holding up a build.) loaded on a truck and unloaded at your site.

You can rinse and repeat every few years. 

I plan on holding long term so I would assume that in 20+ years the house will be worth at least a little more but it's not my main concern.

The savings would have to be worth it and knowing they would hold the property long enough to pay for the re-fi costs.

So far, it looks like the industry has responded by holding steadfast on their commitment to the NOI approach.

. - Annualized ROIFor Rentals that we hold in our portfolio, that were perhaps once BRRRRs, I analyze based on ROE - Return on EquityI used this equation to back into my maximum allowable offer (MAO): ARV - Rehab Costs - Holding Costs - Purchase & Sale Costs - Desired Profit as a percentage of ARV = MAO

Think about it, if you paid 20% down for an inexpensive buy and hold property then paid for a rehab, you'd possibly be around the same amount in terms of expenses.
