House in Chile was built for only $118,000.

Their opinion of "only" and mine are a lot different. You'd think this would have cost maybe $25k in South America. While some of those shipping containers are rather striking, one wonders if there are still residual pesticides or whatever chemicals left inside that the homeowners are now breathing. I'd also need a lot more insulation under the hot summer sun.

Agreed; I’d want them very carefully tested for residues, ***before*** using any as part of my home.

I live in a house with asbestos siding. I don't worry about chemicals.
