It's sad how difficult things have become in the present generation. I was wondering how to utilise some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to use what's left to invest, but I don't really know which way to go.

[@belobelonce35]

I understand how you feel. It's a little bit difficult to navigate things these days. You don't wanna lose whatever is left. I may suggest that you find a financial advisor who could give you thorough advice on how to go if you want to go the investment route. Also, the fact your business failed doesn't mean you should give up.

[@Tanner-c2m]

That's right. I have tried many failed businesses and it's just a step further. Don't despair. But to add, if you do decide to use a financial advisor, it's best you use someone who understands your special needs and can work with you. I learnt this from experience before finally finding one I can stick with. Now I make six figures from my investments alone, and even more from my businesses.

If like you, your new to the concept, ask to speak to a buyer in the local area you want to develop your purchase.

Read the google reviews for Bob's container's, it's horrific. they do not meet deadlines, will not pick up their phones, and the homes are not livable according to one person due to ventilation and condensation issues. I was all in on this until I saw that.

[@801Pursuit]

Just verified- True. One person said reviews were deleted, then went on to saying: " When my build was finally done, they then wanted 75% more than the formally agreed upon price. I had to take them to court and bc Texas is backwards, the judge said that they only wanted to make me “whole.” By returning my deposit. "

[@boboso7238]

One thing to keep in mind, is online reviews versus litigation and BB ratings. While I don't doubt his business is free of complaints, people go out of their way to shout from the online heaven's of google and yelp reviews while being 1000% in the wrong and playing victim more than ever. Delays may have been advised to the client or a direct result of the client changing plans things last minute etc. Likewise the clients lack of investigation to city/county/state compliance for their build PRIOR to placing the order. Again not saying this business 100% on the up and up, but way to many professional victims on the internet because they get thier feelings hurt in 2020's. So you have to research reviewers as much as the company anymore.

[@andreihandru]

Building in a container is a horrible idea: 1. It's a depreciating asset unlike a normal construction that appreciates over time. 2. A shipping container its a giant thermal bridge. 3. Because of the thermal bridge it will build a lot of condensation within, which will lead in time to mold . 4. On the other side, if you are in a hot area, you are living in a metal oven 4. It's a temporary construction with a medium lifetime. 5. It's actually not that cheap. 6. Most of zoneing will not allow this sort of construction.

[@mossfish8708]

Exactly what I ran into with container projects...also he's extremely expensive, $50k, 60k, 250k, really?!! $250k will get you a realy nice 2 story ADU in the strictest CA municiple code areas fully permitted including architect cost tha will $450k value to my single family home. And I can then rent the ADU here for $2500/month as I watch it appreciate. Also 45 foot high cube containers can be picked up in Long Beach for $2k-2.5k. Same cost in Houston. $3500 must include hauling it to TX. My F-550 with trailer and container costs $600 every 1300 miles to travel I-10. Do it yourself or don't do it. Containers are best for storage or open air use. Don't even think about burying one unless it's a concrete form or cut in half to make a pool or something. they are made to stack not to have their sides pushed in or out. Look at the videos that talk about "...shipping container homes are a scam".

The problem here is that shipping containers make for horrible houses. A solid metal shell invites all kinds of issues with condensation. And once you start cutting into it, the container quickly loses strength. Much like an eggshell. In the long term, you are better off just building the frame out of proper construction materials.

[@MochiColorsZanos]

Sounds great, but I doubt a lot of cities would allow this. We're currently building an ADU and it has been quite the process with the city. The city has it's own regulations on how the ADU needs to be built so the building and safety inspector comes to make sure everything is up to code, then it's electrical and plumbing inspectors with their own regulations. It's not easy.

The list of HAZmat materials/products that get shipped is staggering.

Was a huge problem that went on for over 2 years, ended up costing him so much extra out-of-pocket, plus the time where it couldn't be used....which was devastating.

Thank you for all you content. Also I would love to see you and your husband on an episode of the "Cleared Hot" podcast.

Bob!!! You are amazing for sharing so much information! I love how you just share, and don’t circle around information asked. You’re awesome!!!!

It’s too bad others here have reported he’s got poor reviews. He seemed trustworthy in his presentation here. But customer service is what matters. Steel definitely will rust, have noise from rain, and be a temperature conductor. Even with his response to the heat question “not really, we insulate them”. The “not really” part was not convincing. The other aspect is appreciation. Do these structures actually appreciate in value? Given the aforementioned wear issues I’d think not. In fact they’d probably depreciate. Banks wouldn’t loan on these so he’s offering financing. A good strategy for his business but for the buyer it’s better to plan on making your money from the STR aspect only. You could sell the container later as part of an STR business if you’re successful. Like any rental location will make a difference

"Hurricane proof..." ? 29:15 What do these 'sit' on? Bolted to a foundation? Sit on cinder blocks?

[@Benny.Goldstein]

This is amazing where to become a true Deal Architect. Way to Go

[@brandonbriscoe4712]

absolutely! buy one, turn it into a laundromat and a studio... then talk about how to buy a laundromat!

This would be a solid Mid Term rental for traveling nurses or any other kind of digital nomads, contracted workers, etc.

Fantastic video! I love what you do Corie Sanchez and thank you Bob for sharing.

[@happinesscompilation5252]

This is how you steam vegetables and human at the same time. You can't efficiently insulate the walls due to the hard fact that these are made from steel. Your utility bills will increase dramatically compare to traditional building. In the long term (5 years and up), it costs more to own these containers than to build everything the old ways. Also these things rust over time and the maintenance cost will rise with each year.

[@geoleo2597]

Yeah my thoughts 💭 exactly. It’s not an asset but a liability like a car.

@ 13:40 the spray foam thickness says alot.

[@harshSharmaaji]

Such a cool concept to show us how irl businesses are operated!! Feels good to have discovered your channel

Top picks for the bull run: DOT, FIL, SOL, and the ICO star - Revux!

[@user-bms4y2jeio5wli]

$60k for one little container bar?… a rip off!!! It should be $15k at most

[@jloc803dw]

yes! Definitely buy one, ABNB it and track it on your channel!

[@Incognito-fe8cw]

$3.5k is only the start of a very long, expensive journey ! These things are ovens in summer, and freezers in winter, and will cost fortunes to modify accordingly, especially with the prices of materials these days, delivery/transportation, getting permits, purchasing the land, paying taxes, etc. etc. etc. WOW !

[@ScoutyBoyO]

Have you considered insofast insulation? It is like an ICF panel for containers. It glues on and has stud imbeds for attaching stuff. cool product.

[@lorenbush8876]

Most people will not pay that much, apparently he found enough to do well, financing them was a big help but then that just makes the price even higher. WOW! I'm very surprised he has done so well and getting such high prices. An Earthship would be a much greater value and you would get a much greater product, the container homes may be finished a lot faster. AirBNB's are not a good value , they supposedly use to be a much cheaper place to stay but now they are marketing them specialty vacation rentals and the price has gone through the roof so its just a matter of time before they're out of business unless they go back to what they started out as.

[@asianmix4947]

Barndominium is way better and cheaper than this. Of course depending on how big the house you want to. Or buy fixer upper house

[@FaithFashionFinances]

I see these all over my city… they are everywhere! 😂

[@paulacoash7782]

I love that he is re-using containers! ❤❤❤

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

Thank you Codie for bringing us this info. This young man makes me feel like it’s easy to make money.

[@EcomCarl]

Bob's innovative approach to recycling shipping containers into homes and bars is not just sustainable but also financially savvy. It's inspiring to see how leveraging media exposure can significantly boost business growth and market presence. 🚀

[@dustinhattley3449]

This will work good as long as there's not a supply chain issue. Or rain for 2 months very impressive though honestly. Keep up the good work guys
