Do you have space on your property that can fit a shipping container? If that’s the case, you can 100% turn that space into a temporary rental, like an Airbnb. Shipping containers can run you anywhere from $5,000 - $10,000 depending on prior use.
Here are the benefits to a shipping container guest house:
Expandable - Add on if you ever need/want to
Semi-Permanent - These structures can be moved
Uniformity - They all look the same
Low Cost - These containers aren’t expensive at all
High Quality - One word: sturdy
Fast - You can save time putting this on your property
Duplex
Duplexes are two units in one building. If you’d still like to live on the property, rent the other unit out as an Airbnb. If you become a professional house hacker, you’ll most likely have another property where you plan to stay. If that’s the case, rent both of them out.
Call up our designers at DAF Group to help you remodel if needed. You can turn one bedroom into two!
