Do you rent or own your home?

I'm not talking about he benefits of renting from a personal standpoint as such Mamaduck, I mean pertaining to running a daycare. I would imagine running a daycare from a rental property could potentially be met with problems. I had a friend who did daycare and her townhouse on the complex was bought out by a new property management company who changed the terms of the rental saying that nobody could run a business from home. She had to move to be able to carry on...that is a major problem, not minor at all. Also where I live now rentals are extremely rare, literally in a town of 30,000 there are never more than 5 houses up for rent...and that's if you are lucky. There is a high chance then that if your lease was up and your landlord/lady decided not to renew to sell for example, then you are high risk of not relocating to an area which works for your dcparents and so you would lose income. To much of a big risk in my mind

Bright Sparks: That is a huge risk for sure!
