There is a storage place here in town. Not one of the new flashy ones, but the old one in the middle of town... The one with concrete walls and electricity in each unit. The one that the roof does NOT leak when it rains. A 10x20 unit is $90/month, and the guy does not care if you work out of it. He doesn't even care if you office out of it - and he is up front about it.
So that's the going price of a garage! $90/month.
2 Motorcycle guys could go in on one together!
Me personally... If I could not afford both (House and Garage/Shop), I'd get the Shop, and live in a travel trailer parked on the side of the shop...
