I don't have a garage, I don't have anything actually. I make around $1k a month, and want to live in a garage. I want a garage/work shop type building that will allow me to focus on my projects, that will also provide me with a living space. To elaborate, I want to buid a car, I'll need a place to keep tools and parts, and obviously the car itself. It occurred to me that it might be wise to rent/mortgage a garage some place to do this in.
Then I really started thinking about it and realized I'd spend most of my time there. The thought of quartering off a living space really appeals to me, but how do you find a suitable building? Everytime I look up a garage or garage living all I find is people converting home garages into livingrooms. It's like they don't even wanna live with their cars.
You barely make enough to tinker on your car in addition to paying for a living space and amenities.

I know exactly how you feel, OP.
I just want a huge place to park my car in and have a corner with a squat rack and free weights, another corner with a couch, TV, and fridge, hotplate.
With plumbing ofcourse.

You buy land with a shop or build a shop. Shops arent zoned for residential use. Nor would they be legal (in the US) as a dwelling. They are usually quite large when for rent and you will pay per sq. Ft. Which means they are expensive. A renter wont want someone staying in a building that isnt meant to have an occupant and can have severe legal consequences

for 1k/month it might be feasible to go out to the country and rent out a barn or something

Have you considered buying/renting a house with a garage?
They're pretty neat, they have a space where you can keep and work on your car as well as a space where you can live and the best part is they're right next to each other!
