Back in the 50's and early 60's mobile home came furnished. Some were not a lot bigger than those in your vid. I believe that these will catch on quick! The futuristic look is great.
its going to be interesting to see if we go back to that format... I have a singlewide and the new models sure are intriging. tiny home can be a homeless solution, but where to put them is the issue... maybe we need to start making new Mobile home parks exclusively for Tiny homes and Park model manufactured homes.... its time for people to think small!
I would really like to see companies like this have a division that goes into older mobile home parks that have been run down by slum lords targeting the low income blue collar, repurpose/recycle the old trailers and replace it with these affordable homes. They already have a good piece of property with the park and lots. We have to start finding ways to house affordably and reuse the properties in existence.
Great idea... mobile home dealers have had a terrible time "rebranding" their products. Maybe this housing shortage will cause some of this. Most people that live in MH Parks... currently just want a place to crash and have zero money and would not have a "pride in ownership or leasehold" in a home... they'd simply tear it up. However, in my area even crack heads are gettign jobs so maybe this will turn around.
Blue collar includes electricians who make 80.00 and much more per hour…electricians take years of math and engineering…commercial electricians are paid what they are worth..unlike techies
That's great. Glad to see some competition to boxabl. I hope you can get a tour to show us this one. I wonder if manufactured homes will need to up their game to compete with these prefab and modular homes.
I'm still having trouble buying into the "affordability" aspect here. After purchasing land, laying a foundation and/or going through a bunch of zoning hassle, getting util hookups or alternative systems for power, water, and waste disposal... you're easily looking at around 100k for the smallest option whose living space I find unrealistic and for the upper models you're looking at $150 - $200k. I paid about that amount for my ready-to-go stick built town home at ~1,300 square feet. I keep hearing how prefab/modular offers affordable home solutions - and sooo want that to be true - but then I see them costing as much as stick built homes at extremely smaller sizes.
Cost per sf is high, but the finishes for a $150k house seems low. And sure the location of a $150k is where I would live. MH in Florida can go for $60k (old) depending on age and location. Land costs make a big difference.
8K for a decently large concrete pouring and finish. 15K for land. 40K for sophisticated water/sewage/electrical hookups. I'd say the base price is about 80K, which means you're right lol.
According to Zillow, as of Jan 2021 the average new home price in America is 269,039. Thats the average. These homes can be set up by your estimate 150-200k. Keeping in mind that there are places where you can get a piece of land for a lot less than your estimated 15k. Still 150k is a lot less than 269k. And these littler houses are a lot faster in most cases to get set up and moved into. Time is money.
The thing is, modular/prefab homes are affordable for most markets, you could go buy a 65K mobile home right now, brand new, that's 900 SQFT and has 3 BR with decent finishes, foundation, hookups, etc, would put you maybe close to 100K, and where I live, entry level homes start at 150K so its really not bad. However, these 'new' 'modern' prefabs are different. Most of these are built for expensive markets like California, where you, in some Suburb 30 minutes out of a city, or in a small town, can buy a home for 150K that is brand new, in Cali, the cheapest homes can start at 400K, so then you start to see the 'value'. Now, the real kicker for any of these is market and zoning. #1; Its probably not in your state. and #2; On zoning, homes like this won't be able to be built easily, they all have flat roofs, and most single-family zoning regulations have roof pitch requirements, your home must look a certain way, etc, they don't want you plopping down a manufactured home in a neighborhood where it stands out. So most of these end up being built as 'guest homes' on a massive lot or something else that gets around zoning. If you're hoping to plop down a manufactured home in a lot you bought in a residential neighborhood, having a turn-key home for under 100K, the chances of it happening is super low.
@@ViolentMLG in California they have eased the regulations on prefabs to help with housing shortages, so that makes prefabs more ideal. Especially if you want to add space to an existing property.
1st timer to your vid: Very Excellent Presentation; short & to the point - even prices mentioned. I will peruse your other vids & most likely Subscribe. Thanx 4 the FYI! Ciao
TY Kerry. Because a site built home takes so long, and there may be a delay to even get started, based n demand in some areas I am open to some prefabs or modular. I am picky. These would not be for me, but rather employees. Must look nice. I live in the ugly old ranch style manufactured home at the moment. No hall closet. You have probably heard that one before . The biggest problem here , on 10 acres is that rodents come in. Lots and lots of mice , which we humanely and easily catch right away and take them to an open field for release. I actually was surprised one day by a weasel in one of the bedrooms. We surprised each other. Thankfully, he ran back down thru the hole in the floor he had created and we covered that hole . A year earlier there was a weasel under the house that eventually made into our fenced yard. I found remains later, barfed up by one of my dogs. The toughest one to humanely catch ,was a rat. We tried for weeks All kinds of traps and tricks.We are animal lovers and would not harm them. Eventually, somehow rat ended up in yard and , well , my dog did not eat it but I found the intact dead rat in the yard. My uncle has a similar manufactured home and says he has the same problems. Mice follow pipes into the house. So, it would be nice to find rodent resistant prefab or manufactured homes.
Let’s be clear, affordability is the ability for a person/family to buy and live in a primary residence. Your video is covering the price of models of what amounts to a small version of a single wide manufactured home. Maybe this would suffice for an interesting off grid AirBnB. But is a tiny home affordable as a residence or are these factory built structures plagued by the same issues of building any piece of residential real estate? Land cost, utility runs, etc. will be 100k+. If local zoning permits this type of structure the home most likely will need to have wheels attached to qualify as a “tiny home”. No sewer hook up ( price in septic or a macerater) no gas hook up (price in propane) and water and electric may have limits with this option so you will need to arrange something based on local permit and zoning (like a floating home). So based on non standard utilities add 30k. If you want to qualify as an ADU then add a proper foundation, permit fees and tie in to city services (sewer) which could easily add 30 to 60k+. Add your 22-44k structure (does this price include transport and setting onto site? I don’t think so!) Question, will a bank loan someone 200 to 250k for a primary residence that is not built to IBC and is a total of 200 to 400 sq feet? Most banks wouldn’t even loan money for an unattached 400 sq ft ADU in the range of 200k and most municipalities don’t zone for this type of structure because the tax assessment on a primary residence is based of value of land and structure. Remember tax base is the only way a city pays for everything so they are going to want your money even if your tiny home is 2X the size of a jail cell. So, unless you are willing to jump through the zoning and permitting hoops of your city to site a depreciating asset, live in a 10x20 space in the driveway of your parent’s house, and wake up to a cold water shower and the warmth of a single cadet heater, then look elsewhere. This is not living nor is it affordable.
Maybe it works better in a preplanned community build (sorta like a mobile home park idea) where much of the crazy costs and headaches you point out are already thought out and done...you will just be buying the home and moving in?
I’d love to see these in the states as well. I’d think they should have units at one or more of the yearly tiny house annual shows. If anyone has any info on Nestron appearing at a 2022 show, please post.
You need to explain whether or not these units dwelling units are self-sufficient do they come already equipped with Insulation, strength and security, sewage and plumbing, electrical wiring, and any additional means of either compostable waste , water aquifers, solar panels windmills, etc.
These homes really look good. Would very much like to see actual finished models and have a complete walk -thru of all models especially the cube series models.
It's really sad I was just looking at the Nestron Legend 1 and 2. The prices have more than doubled since this video came out with the Legend 1 being $52,000 base and the Legend 2 being $73,600 base. Strangly though the Legend 2X has not risen staying at $88,000 base.
They look like fun! A C1 for me, please. If the build, furniture and appliances are substantial, these are a screaming deal. If not- Singapore is a long way to fight warranty battles! Ty.
Nestron's website indicates that their headquarters is in Singapore with a Malaysia branch office but their physical showroom has been shut down due to virus and travel restrictions. It doesn't look like shipping one of their units to the U.S. would be a viable option considering the unprecedented backup of cargo ships at ports along the West Coast?
I wish this company and others like it made mobile models that are self-contained off-grid with water, sewage, and electricity. And trailer friendly. Land is incredibly expensive and rare in the big cities. Also there's the added expense of connecting to city services. All of which can only be circumvented with mobile homes.
Hey Ben they are some that are plub ready just have to get a water source and there are other with solar panels look into Anembo and Ten Folds and G-Pods
You should easily be able to have this mounted on a trailer base, exchange the toilet with a Nature's head or similar, add propane gas lines or solar panels (you can make your own economically priced solar power generator with CALB LiFePo4 cells - see Will Prowse YT channel), then you're all set with off-grid self-sustainability function.
@@arminius301 Would these really fit on a trailer? And not sure what the width limit would have to be to remain road legal without having to get a special permit to move it. But I would want to avoid such hassles if possible. If the weight and width aren't specifically designed to be trailer friendly I think it would be a great task to use it with a trailer. Thanks for the other great advice.
@@diondrajh9801 Thanks but those are all way too expensive. I don't consider anything approaching or over 6 figures to be affordable. Might as well just be in the regular home market at that point.
@@boomieboo I think you might have a very valid concern. The width of the Legend model is 3000mm which equates to 9.84', which is wider than the 8.5' on a movable tiny house. In that regard it might not offer itself for the purpose you're looking for. My son and I are currently renovating a 1978 Airstream Argosy 27ft. If you get a "fixer" that's lived in California they are generally not completely rusted through and can be fixed up nicely with modern amenities. We picked this fixer up for $7700. By the time we're done with it it will be unrecognizable and will have cost a total of about $13000, you can't beat that! That might be an option. We're going to insulate all the water lines so as to make it as Winter-proof as possible, equip it with solar and LiFePo4 batteries for self-sustainability. Best of success to your future endeavors, I know you'll come up with an economical solution!
FFFFFFFOLKSY!!! Damnit, kenny (i call you kenny because i thought that was your name wout the glasses story that we've been over, and it kinda stuck. Sorry.)!!! Ya had me w the ffffolksy for gma, but that 88k is just a skosh over budget. Grrrrrr. Love it!!! The cube is on point, price-wise, but that friggin' interior would drive her nuts... and gma's plentyyyyyy crazy already, so no bueno on cube'n in the twilight years. :/
So I did some research about the Nestron products. The prices mentioned in the video were not accurate to the models he was talking about. This is just misleading intentionally or unintentionally. Please fix.
Hi, new to this channel. From Tokyo. I have few questions. Are they insulated for cold winters? Do they have air conditioning in the units? How about drainages, water pumps and electricity? Thanks 👍
Hey, Kerry, thanks for another great video. You cover all basis, have excellent pictures that clearly show the layout and give detail costs including tips from the trade. Interesting homes. The Tesla videos confuse everybody with misleading info. and fell short on all counts - embarrassing. Love your style. Keep up the good work! 😀
Those prices are still too high for that small of a fab home. You should have twice the amount of square feet size than what you mentioned for that price.
Once again, I have too many nice models, but none available for immediate delivery, I have several building lots 0.3 Acre and more zoned R1 that I am looking to buy several units to use in my Short Term Rental. Boxable is a long waiting list, and so is others. Any recommendation?
Folks don’t understand how expensive it is to install these. I build and install over 100 manufactured homes a year in Southern California. It can cost upwards of $80-$100K (or more) to cover the installation, infrastructure, and permits.
Hey there, Hugo! I'm a Nestron sales rep. On our TH-cam channel, there are videos about the hook ups for both water and electricity. th-cam.com/video/1xT7ASYMcJs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dW1xhEdAk_s/w-d-xo.html If you'd like more info, just let me know! -Ciara
So here's an add disguised as a review. There isn't one single detracting statement or con to all the stated pro's. No limitations, no negative what so ever.
"Founded" in 2017 might mean corporate papers were signed. What were their 2017 sales? How many 2017 (or later) sales in the U.S. from the "70% of their clients". I'm a big fan of your videos discussing innovative modular homes. But it's easy for clever graphics and a few preproduction examples to generate a lot of buzz while - eventually - turning out to be residential vaporware. If I saw references to the source of their investment capital and construction drawings for the site infrastructure, that would look more 'real'.
I cannot believe people will dish out this kind of money for these units. I don't see anything in them that would justify this kind of price. I could go to my local big box store and buy a 2 story shed with more room for 10k and put 30k (probably less) into electrical, plumbing, finishing, and furnishings. If people are willing to spend this kind of money for these units, I need to get into the tiny house business. The profit margins must be through the roof. Property values vary all across the country. But pay me a 100K and I will provide you with a tiny home on half an acre of land that is ready to move in.
There’s a reason why shipping containers are popular because they can be stackable, transportable, durable, and basically arranged in any design that you want, it’s good to start with an efficient unit, for example 10‘ x 20‘ and from there you can adopt the Lego strategy of using multiple units to expand your needs, each unit of course being completely self-sufficient, set up in sewage, electrical, insulation, durability and strength, and security,…
There's only one problem, it's really hard to get insurance!!! There's not enough money for these insurance agency's. Don't get me wrong, I loves these homes..❤
Hard to by, in manufactured homes as the home gets bigger the cost per sq ft often gets smaller so the smallest homes usually have a higher cost per sq ft.
@@carlosdonestevez7532 some people are more concerned with total cost, not cost per sq ft and for them it makes a lot of sense. There is no right or wrong answer, everyones situation is different
Why have Nestron's prices doubled? You mention that the Legend one costs $21K. On their website, it costs $52 K. If you consider the cost of also buying land and possibly needing to install a water supply, it all adds up to the cost of a normal house...
I absolutely love the look of the C2X. But the kitchen is pathetic. I cook and I'm good at it. I need a kitchen with more than one little square of counter space.
Hey Kerry! Thanks for a great video. Quick question for you, on the website it notes that the Legend One starts at $52K and the Legend Two at $73.6K, did that change since you recorded your video or is it in a different currency than USD?
I work for Nestron as a US Sales Rep. the “base price” is correct in video. If you read on the website, it states that the base price is just the shell… so the actual price is more which includes everything you need and fully live-able including furniture and appliances. You can see actual prices on website as well not just the base shell price. I will be talking to them about this because I know it creates confusion.
These are cool! I don't need a big home and slave to the banking system! Give me something nice and simple, ill be happy. Though the problem we face is the government and their restrictions and costs to place it down. Homelessness could end tomorrow with these homes if we had a normal was to simply place them somewhere with ease.

I think the look is horrible. Need someone like Frank Lloyd Wright as a designer for these homes.
@@johnstancliff7328 Tiny home communities exist and are growing. Many states are catching on...Texas included.
We're definitely coming full circle!
These are neat, but with such a modern, futuristic approach, I was personally hoping for solar or some other self-sustaining options.
They all have solar options. The Cube and Legend have a 10KW, 8KW, and 4KW option. The larger units have 13KW, 8KW, and 4KW.
Ditto
Now THIS is what I've been waiting for! I'm ready to move in right now.

That's great. Glad to see some competition to boxabl. I hope you can get a tour to show us this one. I wonder if manufactured homes will need to up their game to compete with these prefab and modular homes.
I'm still having trouble buying into the "affordability" aspect here. After purchasing land, laying a foundation and/or going through a bunch of zoning hassle, getting util hookups or alternative systems for power, water, and waste disposal... you're easily looking at around 100k for the smallest option whose living space I find unrealistic and for the upper models you're looking at $150 - $200k.

I keep hearing how prefab/modular offers affordable home solutions - and sooo want that to be true - but then I see them costing as much as stick built homes at extremely smaller sizes.
Cost per sf is high, but the finishes for a $150k house seems low. And sure the location of a $150k is where I would live. MH in Florida can go for $60k (old) depending on age and location. Land costs make a big difference.
8K for a decently large concrete pouring and finish. 15K for land.
40K for sophisticated water/sewage/electrical hookups.
I'd say the base price is about 80K, which means you're right lol.
According to Zillow, as of Jan 2021 the average new home price in America is 269,039. Thats the average. These homes can be set up by your estimate 150-200k. Keeping in mind that there are places where you can get a piece of land for a lot less than your estimated 15k. Still 150k is a lot less than 269k. And these littler houses are a lot faster in most cases to get set up and moved into. Time is money.
The thing is, modular/prefab homes are affordable for most markets, you could go buy a 65K mobile home right now, brand new, that's 900 SQFT and has 3 BR with decent finishes, foundation, hookups, etc, would put you maybe close to 100K, and where I live, entry level homes start at 150K so its really not bad.
However, these 'new' 'modern' prefabs are different.
Most of these are built for expensive markets like California, where you, in some Suburb 30 minutes out of a city, or in a small town, can buy a home for 150K that is brand new, in Cali, the cheapest homes can start at 400K, so then you start to see the 'value'.
Now, the real kicker for any of these is market and zoning.
#1; Its probably not in your state.
and #2; On zoning, homes like this won't be able to be built easily, they all have flat roofs, and most single-family zoning regulations have roof pitch requirements, your home must look a certain way, etc, they don't want you plopping down a manufactured home in a neighborhood where it stands out.
So most of these end up being built as 'guest homes' on a massive lot or something else that gets around zoning.

By the time we're done with it it will be unrecognizable and will have cost a total of about $13000, you can't beat that! That might be an option. We're going to insulate all the water lines so as to make it as Winter-proof as possible, equip it with solar and LiFePo4 batteries for self-sustainability. Best of success to your future endeavors, I know you'll come up with an economical solution!
Great video- I love the Cube Legend. Your sweatshirt looks so cozy! Who makes it?
FFFFFFFOLKSY!!! Damnit, kenny (i call you kenny because i thought that was your name wout the glasses story that we've been over, and it kinda stuck. Sorry.)!!! Ya had me w the ffffolksy for gma, but that 88k is just a skosh over budget. Grrrrrr. Love it!!! The cube is on point, price-wise, but that friggin' interior would drive her nuts... and gma's plentyyyyyy crazy already, so no bueno on cube'n in the twilight years. :/
Haha! Thanks for watching

This is very interesting and creative. Thank you. Your presentations are always provocative!
Thanks John!
@@KerryTarnow it’s my pleasure…
So I did some research about the Nestron products. The prices mentioned in the video were not accurate to the models he was talking about. This is just misleading intentionally or unintentionally. Please fix.
Why not include the link to their website to each of the models showcased?
Hi, new to this channel. From Tokyo. I have few questions. Are they insulated for cold winters? Do they have air conditioning in the units? How about drainages, water pumps and electricity? Thanks 👍
Where's the refrigerator in the smaller ones? Is it in one of the lower cabinets in the kitchen?
Nice news,thanks Kerry
Thanks for watching!
Hey, Kerry, thanks for another great video. You cover all basis, have excellent pictures that clearly show the layout and give detail costs including tips from the trade. Interesting homes. The Tesla videos confuse everybody with misleading info. and fell short on all counts - embarrassing. Love your style. Keep up the good work! 😀
Thanks Laura! Appreciate that
The square boxed shaped unit is called the "Legend". The unit with rounded corners is called "The Cube"???
ha! go figure
@@KerryTarnow LOL

What kind of zoning is needed fir a prefab home such as these? Tysm
Wow… what a fantastic channel ❤❤❤
Thank you
Those prices are still too high for that small of a fab home. You should have twice the amount of square feet size than what you mentioned for that price.
Another awesome video. My big fear is getting zoning permits. Where do you put one of these tiny homes?
That's always been the hardest part for the entire industry. I think to get any kind of affordability zoning restrictions will have to be relaxed.
How does the plumbing work?
Do they sell in California with all it's building codes etc.
Thanks for these. Would be nice if you could stay longer of the interior pictures.
Thank you for the feedback!
Once again, I have too many nice models, but none available for immediate delivery, I have several building lots 0.3 Acre and more zoned R1 that I am looking to buy several units to use in my Short Term Rental. Boxable is a long waiting list, and so is others. Any recommendation?
Awesome! "Liked and Subscribed".... Affordable, Stylish, Modular housing is essential for future generations
Thanks for the sub!
Glad i found your channel
Cool. Super neat
Thank you 🙌🏼
Folks don’t understand how expensive it is to install these. I build and install over 100 manufactured homes a year in Southern California. It can cost upwards of $80-$100K (or more) to cover the installation, infrastructure, and permits.
I’m curious about how to add electricity and water to these. It is never stated in the vid. Can someone confirm the process? :)
Hey there, Hugo! I'm a Nestron sales rep. On our TH-cam channel, there are videos about the hook ups for both water and electricity. th-cam.com/video/1xT7ASYMcJs/w-d-xo.html

If you'd like more info, just let me know!

You cannot. Some you can get a sewer installed for 7k.
Awesome choices. Really well thought out.
Can you make monthly payments instead of paying it all up front?
How much is the shipping and delivery cost for C,2 thank you so much and more power to your channel!
Keep em comin’
Will do!
Just subscribed!!!
Thank you!
The cube series looks just like a Coodo. They have been out for a while.
This is great info!
Thanks for watching!
Does the legend one come with a fridge?
So here's an add disguised as a review. There isn't one single detracting statement or con to all the stated pro's. No limitations, no negative what so ever.
where and how to order?
Are some companies, who build with same prices in Europe?
3:01 is where you actually get to see inside the home. Blah blah blah and your welcome. 🤦🏼♀️
Haha thanks for the marker
Do you think it would be smart to buy one off of Alibaba?
"Founded" in 2017 might mean corporate papers were signed. What were their 2017 sales? How many 2017 (or later) sales in the U.S. from the "70% of their clients". I'm a big fan of your videos discussing innovative modular homes. But it's easy for clever graphics and a few preproduction examples to generate a lot of buzz while - eventually - turning out to be residential vaporware. If I saw references to the source of their investment capital and construction drawings for the site infrastructure, that would look more 'real'.
not to mention most land now has SQ/FT restrictions on them so no tiny homes 1200-1400 SQ/FT is what seems to be normal in my area.
Nice job!
Thank you!
Can you do a video on just what is affordable & available now in the USA 🇺🇸 thanks!
Will do!
I cannot believe people will dish out this kind of money for these units. I don't see anything in them that would justify this kind of price.
I could go to my local big box store and buy a 2 story shed with more room for 10k and put 30k (probably less) into electrical, plumbing, finishing, and furnishings.
If people are willing to spend this kind of money for these units, I need to get into the tiny house business. The profit margins must be through the roof.
Property values vary all across the country. But pay me a 100K and I will provide you with a tiny home on half an acre of land that is ready to move in.
Where are the best places for land?
what do they sit on. footers?
The C2X is super futuristic
Yeah it looks so cool!
The 2X 💡💛
Seems like a nice option
There’s a reason why shipping containers are popular because they can be stackable, transportable, durable, and basically arranged in any design that you want, it’s good to start with an efficient unit, for example 10‘ x 20‘ and from there you can adopt the Lego strategy of using multiple units to expand your needs, each unit of course being completely self-sufficient, set up in sewage, electrical, insulation, durability and strength, and security,…
legion 2 as a one bedroom would be comfortable at a great price.
There's only one problem, it's really hard to get insurance!!!
There's not enough money for these insurance agency's.
Don't get me wrong, I loves these homes..❤
Would like to use some of these homes for my short term rentals.
Great idea!
We love these homes! Do they come complete with heating and air conditioning options?
They do! Solar too if you want to go off the grid
If these have solar panels, I could see them flying off the shelf.
Solar is an option.
Not sure of the revelance to those of us the states if we can't buy one?
Hi Kerry, thank you for sharing. Love this. Do know if the Legend could be stacked?
Hey Yumi, not entirely sure but I don't think the Legend can be stacked.
Hey there. Hope you have been doing well. Those are way cool and do look like something from outer space movies.
Hey Kirby! Doing great, how have you been?
@@KerryTarnow Hey there Kerry! I have been doing well. Been staying busy, keeps me out of trouble lol. Good to hear from you, man!
I'm interested in knowing more about this one
These would be great if off grid and included solar?
Solar is an option and so is composting toilet.
How bout tiny home options that are lower or similar to the sq ft cost of a house
Hard to by, in manufactured homes as the home gets bigger the cost per sq ft often gets smaller so the smallest homes usually have a higher cost per sq ft.
@@KerryTarnow exactly there is little advantages to buying tiny homes. You can build a normal size home for basically the same price
@@carlosdonestevez7532 some people are more concerned with total cost, not cost per sq ft and for them it makes a lot of sense. There is no right or wrong answer, everyones situation is different
Nice find! This is actually affordable by most of us here. At least the 22k one.
Why have Nestron's prices doubled? You mention that the Legend one costs $21K. On their website, it costs $52 K. If you consider the cost of also buying land and possibly needing to install a water supply, it all adds up to the cost of a normal house...
I've seen that with a lot of the home companies.
This is much better than a shpping container
I absolutely love the look of the C2X. But the kitchen is pathetic. I cook and I'm good at it. I need a kitchen with more than one little square of counter space.
can you actually see into the shower/bathroom??
Omg these are so dope 🔥
It's really cool look
Does anyone know if one of these can be placed in a mobile home park?
nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
The pricing seems more reasonable than many other options tbh.
Thanks for watching
We’re are the sites,,,,,,?????
Hey Kerry! Thanks for a great video. Quick question for you, on the website it notes that the Legend One starts at $52K and the Legend Two at $73.6K, did that change since you recorded your video or is it in a different currency than USD?
Hey Brad, just went back to the site and looks like they got bumped up… too good to be true I guess?
@@KerryTarnow 50% of the actual price? Why is this video still up?
@@KerryTarnow haha bummer! Maybe all the people watching your video preordered one before ;) cheers
I work for Nestron as a US Sales Rep. the “base price” is correct in video. If you read on the website, it states that the base price is just the shell… so the actual price is more which includes everything you need and fully live-able including furniture and appliances. You can see actual prices on website as well not just the base shell price. I will be talking to them about this because I know it creates confusion.
@@missyschwartz3409
hi interested in nestron
Learn Carpentry ,design and build your own....all praises be to Yah!!
Is it really under 35k?
What is the size of the c2x? 6:45
377 sq ft
@@KerryTarnow thanks the more I look into it I am envisioning Star wars, hoth planet. Lol
These are cool! I don't need a big home and slave to the banking system! Give me something nice and simple, ill be happy. Though the problem we face is the government and their restrictions and costs to place it down. Homelessness could end tomorrow with these homes if we had a normal was to simply place them somewhere with ease.
