Dale, I think if you wanted to do your business from an uptown office location and you wanted to rent out space to other small business owners, you probably shouldn't do the family membership for computer use.

If one of your renters is trying to conduct business with a client and you have families coming and going or kids running around it just wouldn't look very professional and it may interfere with meetings. It seems that you're trying to cram too much into the space.

Narrow down your focus and figure which idea is more profitable and cost effective.

As far as working from home?that would certainly be a more cost effective option. Would you be able to conduct your business at the customer?s location? If you could hold your preliminary meeting at their location and do the actual work from home, that would solve the issue of not having clients in your home. You could use email, phone, scanner, fax to send info back and forth and cut down the in-person meetings to a minimal.
