Connecticut is always good. An hour to the shore, close to Boston and NYC. Bradley is a great airport and there are lots of remote jobs if yours doesn’t work out long term. Plus the best pizza in the world.

Thanks for the tip. I won’t heat it so I probably won’t insulate. Mainly using it for storing cars and bikes

I’m thinking it’s: -$16k to aquire -closing/legal costs -$3k for land surveys -town permits -concrete pad -driveway -tree work - $8k -grading/removal of debris -garage build -electrical

I haven’t received any quotes for some of these tasks but I thinking total coast after purchase will be $60-$75k but I don’t have much to base those numbers on.

It’s not a large lot, .17 acres. Any suggestions on how to make money with it? My wife and I both have steady incomes but I get what you are saying. We probably have 60% of the total project cost wrapped up in some investments that we could liquidate if we had to. Those investments probably net more than the heloc rate right now

Yeah that’s the plan for now. I’ll need to take down a few giant pines back there and grade. All that can be done this year probably. I wish heloc rates were still low, locked in at 3% for the home.

Luckily I have the cash for the land. It’s the loans for everything else that is worrying me.

Yeah for sure. 3/4 neighbors are elderly and don’t want more land. One neighbor just died so there is a chance that house could sell and they could find out about the land. It’s not listed for sale so I think I’m in a good spot. Even if the garage doesn’t work out, the extra land will be great

What upkeep would be required on the interior? Not having a garage in the northeast sucks pretty hard, this would be my only option for a garage. I don’t have to get everything done asap either, looking to do things in chunks to not get totally overwhelmed mentally and financially
