Modal is a prefab accessory dwelling unit to rent out or dwell in your yard
- sleepingbot 5y agoI can see the only weak part of this concept is pricing. Also, Modal should have gone bolder with the "income-earning" part. It's not the prefab home, but the scheme that's interesting here. I can't believe people still don't see this.
- kirstendirksen 5y agoEvery time I post a story with a prefab ADU company the pricing is usually the same -- starting around 120K for a unit with kitchen/bath etc-- and the comments are equally similar: "too expensive". I remember Jay Shafer (tiny house pioneer from late '90s on) talking about how tiny houses aren't tiny priced because you still have to build a bathroom, kitchen, electric, etc. Still hoping someone can figure out a solution to make a truly tiny-priced tiny house.
