DIY car repair business

Have a 75+ yo client who is torn between SFH versus condo due to not wanting to give up his hobby of working on vintage cars.

Plenty of options for renting a standard storage unit, but space must be tall as it needs to accommodate a car lift. Thought about enclosed RV storage, but coming up empty on that search. 

Any thoughts for a solution?

@Kim Thomas

He could rent or buy a commercial bay where he can work on the vintage cars.

@Kim Thomas if he can't buy a house with what he needs get a condo and rent the space he needs else where. Or just by a rental and see if he can also rent.

Keep thinking outside the garage!

I’ve looked. Can’t find anything I’m close proximity to where he wants to reside.

Aloha,

Check Commercial listings for warehouse space that would work.
