East Texas Cabins

The woodlands, rolling hills and lakes of East Texas are the perfect setting for a country cabin.

There are cabins for rent in some of our recreational areas, but more and more, people are choosing to purchase portable cabins for placement on their own property, or hunting leases.

It makes sense. Why rent a cabin, and drive halfway across the state with high fuel costs and travel stress when you can rest and relax right here?

Portable cabins can be a great investment both financially, and in your own health and well being. A quiet little get away in the East Texas woodlands can provide you with the mental and emotional rest you need to keep your edge in life’s little struggles.

In fact, you can get a great deal on a portable East Texas cabin complete with all the amenities you have at home, and from builders right here in East Texas.

Notes:

I stopped by the Ben’s Barns lot, and their new manufacturing facility, and was impressed by the quality of their material and workmanship. The cabins they were working on were impressive in their own right, and the level of quality in their basic storage buildings was well above the norm.

Aside from the wooden portable cabins, barns and storage buildings available, they are also offering a line of steel clad portable storage buildings.

Some portable cabin and storage building dealers offer rent to own programs. Is this a good option for buying a portable building?

Rent to own explained

Rent to own is a financing method used in many industries, and in most of them, I would not recommend using it to buy products. Lease purchase another name for rent to own, always costs more than buying the product outright, which can be a problem when it is used as a financial vehicle to acquire household electronics like televisions and sound systems. It fairs a little better when used for appliances that may be needed to reduce the cost of making four trips to the laundry mat a week.

Rent to own portable buildings

For purchasing items like storage sheds, workshops, or temporary dwellings which are often used to reduce other costs like storage rental, or housing, or for the purpose of producing income like workshops, rent to own can be as good, or better than some other forms of financing. In fact, if you are paying storage rental fees, the chances are pretty good that you can purchase an equal amount of storage space for the price of your monthly rental fees, and once the building is paid off, it will be yours with no more rent or payments.
