Note that you can build settlements without annoying settlers, if you just want a place to store your crap. If you have the DLC, you can also build helper robots and tame wild animals to act as your property's guard dogs. I remember building a tower at Tenpines Bluff (a.k.a. the crappiest settlement site) and just populated the lower ground with yao guai -- good times.

If you want a quick starter location to build, the Red Rocket station near Sanctuary comes with some stuff, including (I'm pretty sure, anyway) a power armor modification thingy. You can just leave it there when you're not using it, or you run out of cores -- whichever happens first.

PS: I've heard that settlers will take your power armor and walk around in it without permission. Because of this, whenever you leave your armor, it's a good idea to take your power cores with you.
