Whats your ideal place of business?

[CNYScapes]

I figure there are 2 options-

1. Own a piece of land say 2 acres and up where you can have your home and a separate Pole Barn to run your business out of. I think you could have a few employees work out of here but no more than that.

2. Commercial / Industrial property with a building and parking where you could operate out of and have as many employees as you want.

What do you guys think?

Im sitting on 7 acres, my shop is 200 feet from the house, Im building another house on the same property. Im solo, that may make a difference.

Solo I would rather have shop on my property, which I do now. My brother helps me on occasion but he usually meets me at the job.

If I had employees I would have shop off site from my house. I would not want employees hanging around by my house. My buddy ran a tree business from his house and it was a nightmare to say the least. Employees in and out all day, trucks and trailers everywhere, debris all over. Ect.......

I guess it would come down to several factors.

Where do you realistically see your business in 5-10 years as fars as business growth, number of employees, equipment, inventory, etc.?

What type of real estate you and your wife are into? Maybe you would like to live in a historic house downtown when you can afford it or out in the country with lots of land.

Commercial property is ideal no matter if you are solo or have employees IMHO.
