My cousin did something like that, he had to move so he bought a lot, built a garage with a second floor, he had his kitchen/livingroom on the ground level. That gave him a place to live in right next to the house he was building. Once the house was finished he moved his stuff and now has a sweet heated garage with loads of storage space on the second floor.
In his case he had to build a temporary wall inside to enclose the garage door because of winters.
Your cousin did exactly what I’ve always wanted to do. I’ll never be able to afford a house build while already having a mortgage…but I COULD afford the land and a garage apartment.
Everyone tells me it’s a stupid idea but it’s the only way I see it being possible - and it clearly works.
Just gotta make sure it’s ok with the municipality first because you’re building the garage as being inhabitable and then you’re building a second inhabitable building on the same lot, which might not be accepted.
