I would say that @Jay Hinrichs' personality is more eccentric in investing in things that are uncommon that most people can stare at all day and still not realize how much money can be created with a specific skill set of converting one thing into something else (set such as timber, land, and high end development).  

Most house flippers will refrain from coming up with eccentric or special color palettes just to appeal to the 1 or 2 buyers out there that may like their color choices.  

So you wonder why you don't see more shipping container construction besides the high-end, one-off eccentric luxury home construction models and the rag tag cabins.

Its uniqueness didn't bother my fiancé or I as we are eccentric artists and the secluded wooded location was perfect for us given our personal preferences about noise issues.

If so, that thing is eccentric to say the least. 

Be eccentric now.

It's not my business model, but having anyone live outdoors like an animal in the USA when they hand out Section-8 to illegals upon arrival is a hard pill to swallow.They need to sort the homeless into short term vs. forever types.Steer the help to the short-term helpable when they need it, and publicly house the "more eccentric" types out in the county away from civilization.Maybe have a poor farm where they can plant gardens to feed themselves if they are able...something to keep them busy.It would give all of them someplace to live indoors at least.This street begging/tents on sidewalks thing is Un-American.Just my 2 cents

Their first purchase became the base for a pyramid of properties bought by constantly remortgaging and using equity from rising values to put down a deposit on yet another house.Their wealth ballooned to more than £100m but apart from a £2m-plus home outside Maidstone and eccentric Burberry suits, their main extravagance was a much derided stable of racehorses.Wilson readily admits that his property empire is heavily mortgaged, but says the loans work out at 61% of the value of the properties.

I've done a lot of deals and hopefully will do a lot more as I go and where I find this book most useful is when I need a reality check and a sane voice amid the chaos of rehabbing properties, especially when I have to deal with the egos and eccentrics!

These bohemian types have a keen eye for finding eccentric, up and coming areas that are often much more affordable than surrounding areas.
