1:58.0 | And so excited to learn how we can make money and, you know, create a cash flowing endeavor with shipping container. So before we dive into it, Sean, maybe take a few moments. Tell us a little more about yourself, your background. And again, how you found your way into this world. Sure. Sure. So believe it or not, I actually started in mobile home parks. So I went to the University of St. Thomas in Houston. and there was a very large mobile home park company that was there. And I was their first intern, actually. So they grew that company. It got big. I mean, it was about 450 million, I think is what they sold it for a couple years ago. So very, very large company.

So really what pushed me into shipping containers was my experience with mobile homes. You know, mobile homes are kind of built like a, you know, a shell box that you're ready to get destroyed. And you kind of know that you're going to have a lot of repairs and maintenance. And that's just the market that you're in. And so I sat, you know, set out and said, well, what if we build something more durable? What could we do here? And so naturally I said, well, gosh, a metal box is probably about as durable as it gets. So after graduating from college, I set out, you know, I raised just a little bit of my own money because obviously it's a very cheap idea to build it. I designed it out. I built the first one. It went pretty well. And, you know, I kept building them and kept building them. And the cash flow is phenomenal, which is kind of what I'm here for the show to talk about and how we get it done. But what I got to, got to warn anybody that's getting into it, it's all regulation that kills you. And so that might be a focal point, you know, even investing in anything that you're investing in, understanding how are you going to get financing? How are you going to get it appraise? What is what are the tax appraisals going to come back |
