Don't forget that it is a waste of HOT water.
Once you turn your hot water tap off, you have five gallons of hot water in the piping, which will cool down and become the five gallons of cold water that you draw off next time.
Do you have space for a small water heater in your master bathroom? Doesn't need to be gas or "instant" - just a smaller version of what you have in your garage. Have another in your kitchen, and leave the main water heater off until you have guests.
