How do you go about living in a garage?
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.

I don't know the technical term for such a building, or where I'd even find one. I live in FL if it's any help. Aside from a general open area to keep cars, boxes and tools, it would need electricity and plumbing. All I really need is a place to shit, wash myself, and sleep. I'll need a place to plug in a deep freezer to store vaccum sealed meat that I can cook outside on a small camping/tailgating grill. Also some sort of ventilation I'd imagine.
What kind of building am I describing?

An auto shop? I don't think people rent these out unless you actually have a business.

Isn't there laws requiring access to running water and sewage?

And local council zoning. The landlord of the building my parents have their business in got into serious legal trouble for basically installing an apartment/flat in a premises zoned as commercial, not residential.

Depending on where you live there can be a lot of asinine regulations.

Sure, but in that case and a case like OP's, it's also for health and safety. There are different standards for a building depending on what it's intended for.

OK. So what would you suggest that I do?
Cause it sounds like what you're telling me is that I need a one bedroom studio/apartment with a 4 car garage

That's basically it.

See if anyone in your area is renting out parts of their house
Preferably people that don't actually live in the house full time
