Has any1 had any experience with them, good or bad? A local vendor sells them and i am considering a smaller one on a rent to own basis because of my current situations and the payment options they offer.

Thanks for any input.

Imma be in sad shape if noone here has any input on them...this is another 'not my forte' moment for me, as of yet, lol...

I checked out their web site. They seem to be built well enough. If it works out for you financially I'd go for it. If you decide that it is a POS during your rental period you can always tell them to come and take it back.

I'll second that.

 

The way I understand it, they are built in local facilities around the country.

 

I actually have one in the next town over from me.

Like Dan says the website looks pretty good. I do know that around here they sell and rent like hotcakes.

 

I can't say as I have ever looked inside one to see what I think about the build quality.

Guy right around the corner from me sells them and so just for grins went in and kicked some tires. I was not impressed with the build quality for the money but then again I am pretty fussy. The only ones he had I would have considered were the steel roof/sided ones but the horizontal application was a deal breaker. Something just not right about horizontal steel my  Still I get why they built them that way.... no purlins or girts for extra weight and cost.  

That and the fact that the size, 12X16, & options  I was interested in the price was way over 5k. I can easily build my own for that. Even if I would have bought "off the lot" I thought the price was a little much and could have built better for less. Did I mention I come from a long line of builders and have bros who can swing a hammer and run a air nailer?? Bought a HF $500 fake garage to keep rain snow & sun off some girls and saving my coin for something real. 

 

For your situation Jason the game changes completely. The rent to own option is nice and like Dan says you might be able to tell them to come get it you don't like. Check on that with the dealer first tho. Its pretty much instant roof over some horses, equipment & storage. In town since it's not permanent you may be able to skirt some local ordinances about having a shed/outbuilding. Check on that first and be aware of possibly disgruntled neighbors blocking their view or something stupid like that.   You can always add a little insulation and a mr heater for winter work space and if you really like it some other improvements. Another member here got a similar one and fixed it up really nice. So for you it would be very plausible shed.

That bothers the heck out of me also. Would never get used to look at that.

Personally, I don't know, but from other experience, some of them recommend it. They admit that they are high-quality and outstanding. Now, I am facing another problem, and that we are looking for a house. We live in an apartment, but we want to spend our retirement in the countryside. We found several, and we even found the mortgage company, https://www.charlesderbymortgagebureau.com/retirement-interest-only.html. We know them from many excellent recommendations, and we were surprised to see how professional and polite they are. Great team!

says you are located in the US, but you are shilling a uk mortgage company? really?
