    Phew .... there's a lot to consider. You might be getting the cart before the horse.

    1: The first thing to look for is a lot of land that's suitable for building. That's probably around 20 k.?



    2: Next is earthwork. Things like grading & a driveway. Maybe allocate 5. - 10 k. ?

    3: Next is running in electricity. That could vary between 3 - 15 k.

    4: Next is water. Either city water or a drilled well. 3 - 15 k. ???

    5: Next is sewage. Either city sewer or septic. 3 - 20 k ???

    6: Next is a cement foundation. A slab for a container might run 5 k ?

    I hate to pee in your Cheerios but you're probably looking at a minimum bid of 40 grand before you could even think of placing a container. Anything having to do with construction is pretty expensive these days. It's hard for a guy just starting out.
