Anyone here that has any experience in buying shipping containers as an investment?
Then renting them out through another firm, that handles everything, or just renting them out yourself.
Is it a wise investment?
The whole thing just seems so shady to me. Like for example, I feel like a lot of the websites that sell the containers, have fake reviews and shit.
My parents rented one to store shit in while they renovated the house. I forgot how much it was per month, but basically once you've paid a total of $4000 on it you can keep it if you want.

I know someone who owns a carpet company, and he owns about 10 of these and rents them out. He does well, but he has his company to fall back on.

those things would be great for a small food joint or even a small office.

Isn't the US a net importer of them rather than exporter? Market's flooded and only getting worse in that case.
There'd maybe be money in buying and scrapping them, or using them as a base for a business.
Ever heard of PODS op?

Or cheap housing. In western Australia, the people who go there to work in the booming construction industry are given one to live in, as a "benefit" or some shit. At least that's according to my uncle's crazy Australian friend, who travels back and forth between there, and goddamn Eastern Tennessee of all places, to work. The guy really is crazy. Like hearing voices, and thinking some psychic is fucking with his brain via microwaves. He probably frequents >>>/x/ and/or >>>/pol/. We haven't seen him in a few years, but I have a suspicion he's in a nut house somewhere.
I use a converted one for SPECIAL PROJECTS. :)
