How Much I Spent on my Airbnb Shipping Container Home Property

[@ChristianSchaffer]

I’m in the process of learning all this stuff myself and this was a super helpful overview - definitely going to watch your other videos about the build 🙌🏻

[@devonloerop]

Glad it was helpful, such a headache at first but just taking it one step at a time made it a bit easier.

[@danielsisco625]

@@devonloerop cool, cool

[@StefaneJaspering]

I love how you’re planning ahead to be able to stay home with your family. Well done. I simply adore that

[@devonloerop]

That's the goal! Now I just gotta make this dream a reality.

[@StefaneJaspering]

@@devonloerop you will, you have drive 😉💪🏻

[@paulschafer9287]

Stoked for you man!!! Looking forward to watching the build!

[@devonloerop]

Thanks Paul!! It's going to be fun. Appreciate you following along

[@thejbjournal]

Dude! This inspirational.. my girlfriend and I are trying build a Airbnb container home in Mexico. Glad to see someone taking this leap!

[@devonloerop]

That's awesome to hear! How many containers are you thinking of making it out of?! Let me know when it's done, I'd love to check it out!

[@andrewshermer4958]

Devon congratulations! Looks like you have thought things out well. As with almost any big endeavor in life it will probably take longer than you estimate and cost more than you think. Count us in as one of you future renters. So looking forward to more video updates!!

[@devonloerop]

Thanks Andy!! Wow it's so good to hear from you. It's been too long. I hope you are doing well!

[@birchboxcontainer8630]

Get it! Our projects are on a very similar timeline though yours is a bit bigger and we're going owner built 100%. Excited to follow your journey because the land and renderings are GORG!

[@devonloerop]

Thank you so much! I'll be following along on your build as well. We just finished clearing the driveway, and now I'm sitting on my hands waiting for my structural firm to submit the final set of drawings, then I go in for PERMIT! :)

[@TheMessRVHomestead]

You are such an inspiration. This is so exciting to see.

[@brianklaassens9246]

Awesome man. Keep moving in the right direction brother. Happy for you

[@KaranGrover11]

All the best Devon! Excited to follow along!

[@devonloerop]

Thanks man! It's going to be a fun journey 🙌🏻

[@patchmack4469]

nice guy done well i think - and i have seen the finished result - excellent

[@dphillips1258]

Absolutely loving your concept and I found you through Instagram only a couple of weeks ago I've been watching a couple out of the Southwest in Texas life uncontained and watching these two for the last three and a half years or so has been so rewarding and fulfilling wanting to go on that same venture that you and them are going through I think would be ideal to share that experience that they've had in their builds and what they've done and all the little hoops and hurdles that they've run through

[@vmcervan]

My birthday is in September so I’d love to be one of the first people next year to stay in your Airbnb! I love Washington, and the shipping container idea sounds super cool 🙌🏼

[@devonloerop]

Awh! How fun! I will try to have it done just in time for your bday!

[@naomi2043]

love to see these being built!

[@devonloerop]

It's been a fun journey, I'm stoked it's actually coming together now!

[@alexvbyev]

So much usefull information in every second of the video! Good job

[@devonloerop]

Glad it helped! I love packing these videos with information!

[@13odman]

Wow, land is so cheap in the US. That would cost 700,000 in BC.

[@4LifeNy]

Great vision for the property and of your own future!

[@devonloerop]

I'm just over here trying to make a name/life for myself. It's been so fun seeing the moves I made years ago line me up to be in the position I am right now. Feeling super blessed.

[@njcamocutie7085]

EXCITED FOR U ..Cant wait, but sounds expensive..getting power there alone is mad money

[@devonloerop]

Definitely the most expensive investment I've ever made but I have a good grasp on construction so hopefully I can stay in budget. Power is gonna be about $25k.

[@tbingnear1]

What ever happened with the original location…right on the river?

[@PC-4]

This is absolutely amazing Devon! I only recently found this today because I have been researching doing something like this in FL. Could you share with us who your actual Architect and Engineering firm is? Keep up the excellent work! Amazing!

[@devonloerop]

PSE Consulting engineers out of Oregon. They did my official architectural and structural drawings. Glad you're enjoying the journey.

[@healthiswealthdeborah6227]

How much did you pay for your container.? We’re they new containers? Or used

[@BrandonAngliss]

Ayyy stoked to watch this one

[@devonloerop]

Let me know what you think!

[@RandomUserOnTheInterWebs]

Can you share more about the research process? Who is the target market? People looking to escape the city for a weekend getaway? How do you determine how much to spend and what your requirements for the property are? Are there any useful market research tools that you can share? Are you concerned about future restrictions on Airbnb rentals? So many questions.

[@devonloerop]

I love all of these questions and these are great video Ideas, so I'm actually a full time filmmaker and engineer and my busy season is winding down so I'll finally be able to make videos answering all of your questions. I'm just finishing gathering all of the documents I need to for in for permit so I'll be able to be very detailed in the preconstruction costs.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Awesome!

[@MegaDaniel143]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@RandomUserOnTheInterWebs]

Amazing dude. I want to do this very badly. What is your overall idea with investing in Sultan? How did you decide where to build/buy something?

[@devonloerop]

Honestly I think sultan is a great little town and has a ton of growth potential as Seattle expands. It will also be super valuable to have a home on a little more acreage too

[@devonloerop]

It's been quite a bit of research, I ideally wanted to be a little bit further into the mountains but after researching a ton I found that it would have been nearly impossible to build this home due to building restrictions in the mountains. There's lots of flood plains, and "critical areas" in the mountains so I figured I'd play it safe and buy a place somewhere where I know I can build. Plus sultan is 10 minutes from the cascades, an hour from Seattle, there's no chance of getting completely snowed in (people cancelling bookings due to weather), and this lot is large enough to build a DADU down the road.

[@fortyozsteak]

Helps when your mom is an architect and interior designer

[@stephenxburrage]

you look kinda like Octane on Apex Legends

[@lionishcap_yt6932]

How do u have 2.5 kids💀

[@devonloerop]

Very carefully

[@Zanagash]

I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while and I’m excited to see how this is going to turn out ! I’d love to see all the financial of this !

[@devonloerop]

Haha that real is the question. Everyone has been asking a ton about it too! I think that's gonna be the next video

[@dummyload7803]

its imporant to have dreams and first i thought it was supposed to be your permanent place to stay. Renting it to People is another thing. Dont get me wrong , i only wish you the best but society gets sicker and sicker by the hour. And having a project right in the forest is of course very wonderful but consider the following, forrest fires caused by nature (lightning strike) or by your guests "without brain" just smokng some whatever in the woods and giving a s*it about nature.

[@olegkaletin9002]

Earnings projections! I’m interested. Can you email to me?

[@devonloerop]

Hey! You should check out my most recent video, I break down a best/worst case scenario!
