you can find containers for $400 online, maybe even free, if you have a truck to pick up..

I've been tempted to pay someone to pour a concrete pad and buy a few to try and build a cabin on. With prices that low it's worth looking at.

Do careful research. Many have done that, but the negatives of containers for that purpose are rarely stated.

Building a cabin on top of containers would seem to resolve a lot of problems ascribed to building into containers.
