Shipping Container Homes Guide For Beginners

Create A Sustainable Homestead, Stop Paying Rent & Live Comfortably

Dominic Mayers

How to create your dream home for a low price, stop paying rent, and live comfortably in 9 weeks or less, even if you don't have any building experience.

Would you like to build your family's dream home without paying an infinite mortgage?

Are you worried that you may never afford to own a home because of the high market prices, and you can't imagine paying rent forever?

Do you want to own property at a low price and maybe put it up on Airbnb for an extra source of income?

Your dream property is a shipping container away…

The global container home market is expected to reach $73 million by 2025, making now the perfect time to build these eco-friendly houses.

Not only do they cost 20-30% less to build than traditional houses, but they also outlast them!

You can modify them quickly and use your interior and exterior design creativity to spruce up the space.

All you need to start is $2,000 or less, and the wealth of information you'll find inside.

Written for novice and experienced DIY enthusiasts, this is an A-to-Z guide to ensure your success in turning a plain shipping container into a beautiful home.

In Shipping Container Homes Guide For Beginners, you'll discover:

How to plan for the construction of your container home, get your finances in order, and save money so you don't get stuck midway

The how, what, and scope of container home regulations and zoning codes—featuring geo-specific requirements and the most favorable locations

An in-depth understanding of the aesthetics, performance, and cost of different types of containers and how to inspect them before buying

How to keep your home cozy irrespective of the season, including some innovative thermal control solutions

How to prepare for the delivery of your new shipping container home for a seamless installation process

The best foundations for container homes

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I can't wait to get started "building" my home!

I've also had a dream of living in a "tiny home" and never before even considered that a shipping container would be something I could use! I stumbled upon this audiobook and couldn't help but listen to it, and boy am I glad I did! It has opened my eyes to a whole new opportunity. This audiobook walks you through step by step on how to get started and includes a 9 week plan from start to finish on how to set up your new container home! It comes with a PDF too, if you're a visual learner like me, this was an amazing addition to the audiobook so I could follow along and easily refer back to. I'm so excited to get started on my ne container home!
