Eva Marcille Is Going From Hollywood to Real Estate In New BET Docu-Series "About the Business"

"Knowing famous people will only get you so far. You have to put in the work!"

Eva Marcille is returns to our TV screens in a big way, this time as the star of BET's new hour long docu-series, About the Business. The show is about a group of friends in the fickle industry of Hollywood who are all hustling to try and use their connections and experience in entertainment to expand into entrepreneurship.


Of course we know Eva for her claim to fame as being one of the most successful America's Next Top Model winners and breakout stars from Cycle 3 of "ANTM." The new mommy and model is working on her mogul status by dabbling into investment, and has decided to put her coins into the unique business of luxury container homes, with plans to eventually build a container home community empire. For those who don't know, container homes are:

"Houses built using a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as structural element. It is also referred to as cargotecture, a combination of the words cargo and architecture.The use of containers as a building material has grown in popularity of the past several years due to their inherent strength, wide availability, and relatively low expense. Homes have also been built with containers because they are seen[who?] as more eco-friendly than traditional building materials such as brick and cement."

So in short, the ever fashionable Eva hopes to create homes that are luxe in style, but low in cost. That's pretty unique!
