[Warning - i'm not a mortgage broker, but based on my experience....] 

One can definitely finance many container homes via banks or other construction lenders. The key thing is most banks need to approve the fabricator for container homes, its going to be similar than any other modular home where the bank either has to be cool with a different draw schedule or a the prefabricator (container company) has to be cool getting paid a little bit after they've completed their work.

But in most cases where the container company is legitimate, I think one can find options.
