    My personal experience with this is my father, who lives in a rural area with 10+ acres, has placed several shipping containers on the property as storage for his junk. He's charged just over $500/mo for them. He's had them for 18 years. The value of property in those containers is maybe $5000.

    Consumerism is a disease, and the USA is super good at it.

      Surely not $500/month per container? Do you mean for all of them together?

        Yes, all together. He has 4, 20-footers with extra insulation.
