What's the easiest and cheaper structure to build and use

Shipping containers

Tent

Cardboard and hot glue

Picture would be related if you were living and had a job in the city. All you'd have to pay for is a gym membership and gas, if even that.

>3 grand
that's not cheap

>>1118000
Yeah you can't have a postal code with that, I'm talking about something permanent.´

>>1118001
Pls no troll

>>1118003
That van is far, far away from being cheap.

>>1118005

You say cardboard and hot glue suggestion is a troll but meet shipping container suggestion with genuine criticism?

You're a fucking meme mate and so is this bullshit thread.

Like it or not there's plenty of container homes. Pic related would be enough for me but I'm pretty sure that there's over 10 grand invest in it.

>You're a fucking meme mate
maybe I am, thanks

>and so is this bullshit thread.
It's not. I'm genuinely thinking about buying some cheap land and find a way to live there for cheap. But I still need something reasonably sturdy and comfy.

>>1117998
Cob or sandbags are also cheap. Used shipping containers are cheaper, though.

You can get relatively good caravans for the same price second hand as a rusty shipping container; and before you say it, I know you can because I've bought one for less than a shipping container. You don't have to pay tax on it as it's not static, you can move it and it's fully furnished.

Keep your meme tier shipping container heat dissipating bullshit. Also, when you say cheap land, I'm going to presume you mean the desert or some eastern european shit hole because lets face it, decent patches of land aren't cheap next to any kind of civilisation.

>buying some cheap land and find a way to live there for cheap.
buy a used mobile home
set it up to one side of the land
live in it while building a 'real' house

Tbh I don't care for shipping containers, I wasn't the one bringing it up, ultimately I care about the final cost. Plain simple.

My idea was something like pic related, but I don't think it's cost efficient either.

>>1118038
It's probably the best idea but in my country even low tier trailers are kinda expensive.

I would like to spend 6/7 grand tops

>>1118043
Used RV if you got a vehicle worthy of someone posting on /diy/

>>1118005
The greatest costs in life you'll find are not lump sum purchasing costs, but the recurring ones.
Buying a van, regardless of whether it's anice one fitted for living on, or a shittyone you /diy/ed some insulation and amattress in,would not be your largest expenses. Property tax, utilities, maintenance, and especially rent if you went that route, would eventually outstrip thefirst purchase.

Inthe first place, a few thousand dollars is not a large investment in a living space. In most places it would be hardly enough to purchase a suitable plot of land to place your ``permanent'' structure.

>>1118078
And if you wanted a postalcode, a Post Office boxis more than sufficient for daily needs.

You can get these for under 5 grand at auction. Get one that was used as a site office, not one that people lived in. Plug it in and you're good to go. They got a furnace, receptacles and lights and sometimes a bathroom.

A travel trailer that cheap is going to be a leaking mess, at least those commercial site trailers are built to be towed and are a lot more durable.

You can get a small mobile home for under 50k but that's probably out of your budget.

>>1118136
Second the ATCO style trailer. I'm /diy/ enough to do a shipping container or steel building both of which I use for shop space, but for solid poverty housing a jobsite trailer would work nicely.

>>1118136
Thanks

>>1118137
>but for solid poverty housing
:'(

>>1118140
If you are poor the first step in living wisely is embracing your poverty then figuring out how to do well with low money. Buddhist monks often own nothing but their robes and Buddhism isn't going away.

>>1118151
But buddhist monks usually receive alms, or grow land near their monastery, or produce charms and bracelets etc.

>>1118156
So do that.

Plastic bottles

>>1117998
Just stay in your mom's basement like you already have been. That's the cheapest way

>>1118195
Looks like concrete to me. At that point, the plastic bottles do little more than display a pretentious attitude toward recycling, while doing nothing useful with the material and likely weakening the structure for no reason.

OP should get a kevlar coated shipping container hoverbike made out of plastic bottles filled with imitation crab meat.

>>1118212
Those bottles could have been put to better use, like filling up the Pacific Ocean.

>>1118136
a one bedroom manufactured house goes for around 17k$

Your momma's panties? LOL

>>1118212
Some good points there.

>>1118043
RV or trailer, parked under shade somewhere warm most of the year.

>>1118151
When I was living in Thailand there was news about how these rich monasteries were involved in scandals. The monks technically don't own anything but the monastery can have all kinds of shit. They get valuable shit as donations as its good for the giver's karma.

/thread

people keep coming here as if there is some magic secret to make a functional home out in the middle of nowhere, with no tools or experience, completely self sufficient, easily, and for very little money

it's not going to happen, it's never going to happen (at least for 99.9999999% of people)

the bare minimum question that should be asked is "what structure do I build on the land I already own?"
don't already own the land? fagedaboudit

>>1118212
You can't just build a wall out of concrete without molds (which can be expensive to make), the bottles allow this...

static - cotainer
mobile truck
heawy duty - old military truck like ZIL, Unimog, UAZ or Tatra or anything for good price with command structure

>>1118205
This. Why would you want to live in a cuck pod anyway?

>>1117998
>easy
>cheap
>permanent

It's just not going to happen. You could buy a shed for a couple grand and spend a few more making it habitable. But that's only going to last 10-20 years

>>1117998
This might tickle your pickle OP.

Really, only 17k?

I've seen other more trendy tiny houses going for 35k and up... guess I'll look a bit more. Any sauce on this?

>>1119633
Prices depend on local market.

Life expectancy for a manufactured home... not too bad for 17k. Thing breaks down you could just save up and buy another one. lol

school bus

Its the location/real estate that's expensive, not the house that sits on top.
