Hot take: my $7,500 40ft build in Phoenix beat my cousin's $45k custom, but is cheaper really better?
My cousin dropped $45k on a fancy custom build while I finished my 40ft container in Phoenix 8 weeks ago for $7,500, and now half the family says mine looks cheap and the other half says his is just burning cash, so where do you all land on cost vs finish?
So does your cousin's $45k build come with a butler or does he just like staring at fancy trim? I went the cheap route on my place too and yeah, you can tell where I saved money, but mine keeps the rain out and the AC running, which is kind of the whole point of a house. At some point you're paying $37,500 extra just so relatives stop making comments. Put that money in your pocket and let them argue.
