This might not be exactly real estate investing, but I thought that real estate experts would be the the most likely to know the answer to this question.
My wife and I downsized to a very small lake house, still have our old house, and I would like a workshop and/or garage, instead, to use for "workshop" type stuff. It would need to be cheap, like less than $120k, the less the better, obviously. The problem is, we live in the far NW Chicago suburbs and I can only find homes in neighborhoods that do not seem conducive to someone setting up a workshop. There are plenty of opportunities to rent/lease spaces, but I really hate the idea of renting/leasing and would like to own. Zillow, for instance, only shows homes. Are there places like this to buy that I'm not aware of, or am I looking for something that does not exist?
