New $20,000 House

When the biggest names in your industry take an interest, you know you're onto something.

That's the case with BOXABL. They've reimagined housing by bringing assembly lines to new home construction.

And not to mention, they've already gained the attention of investors like D.R. Horton.

While traditional homes typically take more than 7 months to build, BOXABL factories produce their signature Casita homes in nearly four hours.

And they’re just getting started.

BOXABL just announced a new $20,000 house called Baby Box. It’s a turnkey home designed for affordability, flexibility, and versatility. It's perfect for disaster relief, workforce accommodations, community projects, or even if you just need some extra space.

Now, everyday investors can join them too. When BOXABL last opened a Reg A investment opportunity, they maxed out the $75M regulatory limit, and they believe their new $20,000 house is the key to unlocking even greater potential.

Become an investor today.
