Today I talked to a mortgage broker, to see what kind of money I qualify for. I haven’t heard back yet, but I’m certainly more interested in renting a home from the bank than from an landlord. Somehow, and I’m not really sure how, I have phenomenal credit. I get very funny reactions when people check my credit score. Always positive.
An open workspace is necessary since Nishi will be running Barefoot Upholstery out of wherever we end up. The idea of living out of the bus, inside a warehouse somewhere always floats through my mind when I think about open work space. I think it would be quite a lot of fun, and new ways to use that space would emerge to fill the physical void.
Of course that’s not exactly legal, which is more of a concern if we were renting such a place. In looking around at potential options, I found a really cool solution. It is basically a small business breeding ground. There are multiple units to a building, in the same vein as a storage condo. However, these include an apartment above the open work space. It’s totally ideal, except that it’s in Washington state, and there doesn’t seem to be anything like it on this coast.
I’ve dreamt of a tiny house barn. It is essentially a barn, with the loft area turned into a tiny house, so that there is a large indoor work space below the living area. I like that I’m not the only one thinking about such a space.
