I think there's another spot along the north road just past the water surrounding the imperial City, on that road north west of the city there's

What I always do is use the hollow stump behind one of the stores in the Imperial City Market District (the spot where you follow whats-his-name that's buying corpse clothes from a shady dude; Thoronir I think his name was?).
You can also buy a shack on the waterfront for like 500 gold (from the city planning office in the market district), which you could pretty much have if you picked up everything from the tutorial dungeon and sell it to Shady Sam (a fence not associated with the Thieves Guild who will buy anything for almost full price) outside the Imperial City walls.
Pretty sure you could also just drop it on the ground. Nothing despawns and NPCs don't pick up random shit off the ground in Oblivion the way they do in Skyrim/Fallout 4.
Use the DLC houses. Frostcrag spire just has a lock on the door, battlehorn has a couple of dorky bandits to kill. You still need to buy storage but welkynd and varla stones are plentiful and sell for enough to get the ~2k easily.
I recently discovered that there is a camp not so far away with a key in it for the front door. Good for those who hate lock picking
I think my problem is I'm trying to stay on task too much, and what I really should do is go join the thieves guild and fart around the imperial city for a while....
I hear the Fighter's Guild is recruiting again. Not a bad way to make some money, if you've got the stones for it.
If it's a combat oriented character the arena is good for some quick money early on
Make one trip to the farms around skingrad for restore fatigue ingredients and you should sell those for enough money to buy one of the hovels.
