I've looked at these online to use as a hunting camp. Looks like you can get one for around $10K (depending on size) Question is once you get it to land how much does it typically cost to finish out the inside to make comfortable?
Pretty sure they come from place with inside studs exposed.

I dont know much about this but If you still have to build it out you may want to look at getting a shipping container. I think you can get one for $2,000-3,000 and I'm sure it wouldn't take much more work to get it to the level of a 10K portable building. I've never done it before but you see it a lot in the prepper community.

the best value for hunting camps is to use old shipping containers. they cost around $4k and last forever and are easy to transport to your location and are "for the most part" already weather tight.
companies sell them "as-is" or you can buy them with prefinished interiors from people who resell them.
here is one example - LINK /
and some examples of finished ones - LINK

I helped my neighbor build one out. It's a 12'×24, one end has a bedroom with a set if bunkbeds, the middle is where the full bath is and the opposite end is the kitchen/TV room.
He has 2 sets of bunk beds, a sofa sleeper, 1 small bench, toaster oven a full size fridge, a fake fire place, mini split AC, toilet, lavatory tub/shower, and 2 TVs. He finished his walls with OSB and everything is insulted. He has a little over $12,000 in it.

If you go the shipping container route, get a 40ft high cube. Dont get the standard 8ft height, the extra 12"s makes a big difference.
Do you own the property? If you do I would go with a metal building. I would go with a used office trailer or mobile home if leasing, can be moved easily if you lose the lease. The extra width is awesome. 8ft wide gets cramped fast.

Not telling anybody what to do but if time or money is a concern just buy a used camper. For $10,000 you can get a nice 100% ready to go camper and still have money left over to put a cover over it.

I bought a shed from Graceland and they delivered and set it up for me included in the cost. If you find a dealer close by your land, I'm sure they'd do the same. My 12x16 lofted barn was well under 10K. I believe it was around $3,500.

You should check out gsaauctions.gov and look under Location. Louisiana has 11 mobile homes up for auction that ends tomorrow. You can inspect each MH at the depot on N. Sherwood Forest Blvd., just north of Choctaw. 1BR 1BA 8x48 finished mobile homes have bids that range from $5100-8,250. Some are missing furniture and some are missing appliances, and some have everything. Some 14x52 2BR 1BA also.
If this is too quick you can tell them that and they may tell you when the next auction is coming up. They will be ending these auctions within the next few months(guess on my part)
