I had a furniture reupholstering business about nine years ago. I closed it down for health reasons. Since then I have bought a commercial building that does have space for my business if I kick out one of the tenants. Problem is economy is not good, and my personal finances are very tight. Right now I am just making ends meet, while I work at a dead end job that pays only minimum wage.

Here is more information for the last answer.
1. My job is not my only income. My husband has a much better job than me, and I own four rental homes besides the building.
2. The building is not paid off. I generate enough income to pay all the payments, plus a little left over. If I did'nt have the tenant I would still be aqble to pay the bills, but none left over.
3. I would have to buy no equipment. I pretty much still have my old equipment. I still do it on the side. It is very hard to do that. You need a lot of room, and it is a very dirty job.
4. I could probably survive, but it would very tight. I already have jobs that people want me to do. I can't do them now no room.
I think I need to sell the house I live in, and move into my building. The lose of the two rental units, (an apart ment, and the commercial units), would still be less than my house payment. Thanks for all your answers, it has been very helpful.
