I estimate with back rent damage and storage fees to be about $4,000 Owed.

Tim G. it was probably someone who saw too many episodes of Storage Wars.

I plan on repeating my questions and ideas until I find the best feasible way that IS in compliance.

Our daughter starts college in two years and I am planning on doing this if feasible, since you save on housing costs, have an income producing property, and hopefully a long-term investment for years to come.

Each unit gets a garage but we will rent the 3rd for storage unit for $40.

Then, if the cost seems feasible, perhaps have the structural engineer come in.I don't want to dampen your spirits (I hope I'm not), I just don't want you to fall down a rabbit hole that's best to avoid!

Though there is a 1859 acre (7.5 km2) storage and industrial annex of the Marine Corps Logistics Base there.

Doing things the same way every time reduces the risk of future problems due to fair housing laws.Regarding storage of sensitive information, yes you have some liability.

My experience - lending on multifamily, mixed use, office, industrial, retail, self storage and other  properties having $5million- $500 million values. 

There may be a loan on the car and, just like equity in real property, you may acquire title by way of storage fees and lien sale, however it may also mean that the loan remains.
