Boxabl Casita Update | 3 Price Options!

i just got a very important and exciting update from boxable to my email inbox five days ago and it is regarding my casita purchase which i talked about in my very first boxable casita video but today i am going to go through this email and go through this form with you guys to see if this means that i'm actually getting my boxable sooner than i thought i would so let's get started [Music] hey guys welcome back to the channel if you're new here my name is irina i'm a real estate agent in oregon and here on my channel we discuss all of the latest news and developments in the world of real estate the workforce and the economy at large and why all that information is relevant to you i do also love to share my life in the behind the scenes of what i do as a real estate agent through my vlogs i have a whole playlist dedicated to that on my channel so if any of that sounds interesting to you definitely make sure to subscribe and turn on your bell notifications so that you never miss a future upload okay so all i did was i opened the email once it came into my inbox but i haven't filled out any forms or done anything because i wanted to save it and do it on camera for you guys the subject line says important next steps for your boxable casita order so very exciting i can't wait i was over the moon when i got this message so i'm hoping that this means that my casita is closer than i thought it was so let's just jump right in i'm going to start sharing my screen so you guys can see exactly what it is that i'm looking at so here's the subject line right here important next steps for your boxable casita order let's go through this together it says hi potential boxable customer thanks so much for your patience as we get the boxable factory up and running we are working hard to scale up production and build as many casitas as fast as possible to meet demand and as they get closer to shipping to the public they wanted some information from me in order to plan some next steps i'm psyched it says not all the questions are gonna apply to me but just to provide as much info as i can i have not clicked on this link yet so there we go i filled out my name i don't think you guys need to know my address so let me just fill this out real quick so ask me to fill out my address and it's also asking what the address is uh where i will be receiving my casita and that's exactly the same for me because we plan on placing the casita as an additional dwelling unit or an adu in either our front yard or our backyard we haven't exactly decided yet but it will be shipping to our home address okay so now they've got some multiple choice questions here for us says are you interested in developing a box bowl rv or park model rv community of casitas in close partnership with boxable for at least 50 units so probably not because i don't think we have the capital for that or i should say i know we don't have the capital for that but it's very interesting that that is a potential investment opportunity very cool that that's something that they're offering so what kind of customer are you i guess it would be personal use we do want to either airbnb it out or rent it out but i'm just gonna put personal use if you're a professional customer have you developed real estate before no do you have a contractor's license no no what will you use your casitas for backyard adu to use as a short-term rental i.e airbnb okay and as far as being a part of their early deployment program and paying cash upfront we likely will not be doing that even though it would be really nice to just be assigned a delivery date we wouldn't have to wait for a long time i don't think that that's feasible for us right now in terms of we have no money so that would be a no and we will be financing this purchase do we need help financing yes uh i would want to know what lenders boxable is working with specifically uh because i really don't think that we could just go to our lender you know we have our mortgage through on point i don't think we could just go to them and be like hey we want to finance this boxable i think boxable has very specific lenders that allow financing for boxable so yes we would need help finding financing what is your credit score i haven't checked my credit score in a while actually i'm gonna put what i think it is and hopefully i'm right do you have equity in your home yes yes we do everybody has equity in their home right now because the housing market is booming for sellers do you have any space to storage your casita if we ship it early yes we do uh how many casitas do you need we just need one total budget for this project i am going to put 75 000 because you know the casita itself costs 50 but then we would need foundation as far as utilities that should be pretty easy since we already have a primary dwelling on this land so utility should be pretty easy if you want to learn more about all of the costs associated with preparing a plot of land for a tiny home like the casita definitely watch my video on that but yes i think i'm just going to put 75 000 for now does your project require permits or approvals yes it would yeah if you're doing anything that involves doing anything with your land or building something splitting your lot into two um plots of land you need city permission and you need you need permits so we would need a permit or an approval have you checked with your local building department that zoning will allow you to build your project yes duh do you have a contractor no help me find one again they have contractors that are specifically licensed or trained to deal with casita setup so i do want to be put in touch with one of their contractors which type of casita certification will you require modular for sure yes we want it affixed to a foundation which type of boxable will you buy oh this is interesting you guys this is actually really interesting i didn't know that they offered different types i thought it was just the casita and that was it but look at this okay so which type of box bowl will you buy bear boxable bear projected price 40 000 an empty room customize it yourself you guys so if you get it empty you can get it for forty thousand i did not know that before and i wouldn't have known that if i didn't get this form casita basic projected price fifty thousand so that's uh the price that we discussed in my previous videos kitchen bathroom as featured on website okay casita fancy projected price a hundred thousand dollars a kitchen bathroom upgrade cabinets flooring smart home and more wow so looks like uh the 50 000 is just for the casita basic you could get it completely bare or you could get it with just all the bells and whistles and that would be a hundred thousand dollars that would probably be quite expensive if you factor in the cost of foundation and then if you have to pull utilities if you have to buy land that would come out to about the price of a single family home so i don't even know if that would be completely worth it you know what i'm gonna go with the casita basic because we had planned for the fifty thousand dollars uh i would like to have the kitchen in the bathroom as featured on the website so we don't have to worry about doing that ourselves yay i submitted it so it was really interesting to see that boxable is offering different options as far as if you want your casita to be completely ready to go move-in ready or if you wanted to just be bare at which point you would only be financing it for forty thousand dollars to have the casino with all the bells and whistles i mean a hundred thousand dollars is definitely still quite an affordable home but if you take into account other factors such as land and foundation and all of those things it really depends on your specific situation if you already have land it will still turn out to be a fantastic affordable option if you have to buy land and land in your particular city or state is very expensive then it could come out to be a more costly project than you might have initially planned for i'm wondering if they're just going to reach out via email or if they're going to give me a call but whatever happens you guys know i'm going to keep you updated on every single thing as it happens i know this might seem like kind of a small thing but i really don't want to do anything without sharing it with you as far as this possible casita purchase i want to take you guys through all of the steps so that you kind of know what to expect if you are going to be purchasing a casita so definitely very exciting i'm hoping that this is indicating that we are just one step closer to finally getting our casita i was afraid that it would be a few years before we got ours and granted it it might still be a while but i'm hoping that it will be sooner than i initially thought it would be let me know in the comments down below if you've ordered a boxable casita yourself and where you're at in the process and if you haven't ordered a casita let me know why or if you would consider ordering one in the future do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea is it reasonable in terms of price
