$300-350/sf Traditionalutopian - $300-350 for a sfr is insane, that'd be costs for multimillion $ virtually no expense spared. $200 gets you what these homes have.formed

You can also invest in those things.
I have bought some shiny new shipping containers, an external company handles the leasing to shipping companies, 6% safe interest, fixed surrender value after five years.
