ConexGuide
ConexGuide exists to answer one question clearly: how do you actually pay for a shipping container home or container purchase, and which financing option fits your specific situation?
Container home financing sits in an unusual spot. It’s not quite a traditional mortgage, not quite a personal loan, and most lenders — let alone most people — haven’t dealt with it enough to explain it simply. We started this site because that gap was real, and the existing information online was often scattered across builder sales pages, forum threads, and lender marketing copy that wasn’t always upfront about the tradeoffs.
What you’ll find here
Every guide on this site covers a specific financing path — personal loans, FHA and VA programs, construction loans, rent-to-own, and more — with a focus on what actually matters to someone making this decision: what lenders look for, what it really costs, and where each option falls short, not just where it shines.
Our approach to research
We build every guide from primary and authoritative sources — government agencies like HUD, established financial publishers, and documented guidance from lenders and builders working directly in this space. When a claim is specific to one company’s terms rather than an industry standard, we say so, rather than presenting it as universal. Our goal is to be the kind of resource we wished existed when we started looking into this ourselves.
A quick note on independence
ConexGuide is an independent information resource. We are not a lender, and we don’t sell or broker container homes or financing products. Content here is for general education, not personalized financial advice — always confirm specific terms directly with a lender or financial professional before making a decision.
