[my2c+61]

What must one do when you have to much crap.

Lets drop $250k to buy some where to store it.

*jaw drop at those who need it*
*thinks it's a brilliant business idea*
I'm so conflicted!

I've met a few owners of very high end motorhomes and custom bus conversions that have done something similar in the US. They spend a couple of hundred grand to buy a  smaller industrial warehouse building. Then fit it out with a bath, kitchen, lounge area and workshop.  The space is also fully conditioned with HVAC and a significant security system. They then keep the "bus" in their private bus garage when it's not on the road.

A have a friend who did this, but it was to store his 8 Cadillacs, Chevy panel truck and rooms full of memorabilia. The building probably didn't cost anywhere near $250K, but I'm sure the cars are worth close to half a mil. But he's FIRE'd and has the money so why not? I want to eventually buy his 1966 ElDorado convertible. That was the Last year for a rear wheel drive ElDorado, and by extension the last year for a RWD ElDorado convertible.

Spending $250,000 on external storage to make a $1,400,000 condo more livable seems smart to me.

But NOT mustachian.
