#2well that is interesting, but i'm not sure how practical it is, unless you have spare space to put one to rent out.

Buy a lot with a decrepit / destroyed home, remove it, place one of these (which should be fast), start renting it out.
The "AirBNB income" line under each picture is touching.

#4Those prices are way too high for what you are getting. Looks like they are taking standard shipping containers, cutting out some walls and then covering the steel with better-looking materials.

#5I'm interested in something like a kitHaus. Anyone have any idea if this would be allowed in a city like Seattle?
Re: Modular Homes Under $100K
#6So many questions! First, given the minuscule size of these things and the inclusion of “AirBNB income” these are not homes for sale, but turnkey rental house businesses. Those income figures are in what market? Surely not Nowhereville, Montana! Then they quote AirBNB incomes and mortgages in various cities, but how do they come to a single value?
Where in the heck can you (all) 1. Legally put one of these on your property given zoning laws, 2. Fit it on your property and 3. Actually earn that kind of income?

#7These are beautiful to look at. How is life inside of them? My wife filled in for a housecleaner at a couple of units billed as "Tiny Homes" on AirBNB and complained vigorously about the contortions required to clean them and generally how cramped they are.
In my part of Floriduh they're novelties and in built up areas exist only in trailer parks. As myroon5 suggests, zoning approval in places approved for conventional residences is going to be a challenge.

Connect-Homes specifically state that they aren't made out of shipping containers, but they do make them in similarly sized sections so that all of the existing shipping infrastructure (road and rail) can move them easily.
We looked at modular homes before we built last year. The biggest problem I had with them was that I couldn't find a floor-plan I liked, and you always had strange, extra wide walls at the seams. Connect-Homes looks like they use a steel frame to increase the maximum span and reduce the requirement for thick seam walls. If I ever have to move again for some reason I would probably look at modular homes again.

#9Is this not just an advert/spam?
This isn't an interesting submission about non-conventional home construction. This isn't a noteworthy example of website/ecommerce design. This isn't an editorial piece promoting interesting conversation.

It'd be cool to see the breakdown of the material cost, labor cost and the profit.
