i think some ladies on here are lucky enough to be a bit older and actually own their own incall property/home, so dont have to worry about rent on 2 places (or even rent AT ALL) or neighbours getting them evicted
us other poor souls that are 'growing up' shall we say in a recession arnt that lucky and can only see so many clients due to neighbours etc
I wish I could afford to buy my own place! maybe in the future lol xx
Owning your own place and working from it, in my eyes makes it actually harder. You may not have the worry of being evicted by a landlord but neighbours, even when your property is bought, can make life very very difficult for you if they find out what you do and lets face it, its not something you are going to keep under wraps for long.
IMO renting somewhere to work from is far superior. You can up and leave any time you like and move somewhere else. Not so restricting. You can also lock the door and walk away and not have the worry of someone chapping your door/ringing your bell at stupid oclock which ive heard happens many times esp when guys are bladdered and horny You do not need to worry about traffic through the apartment if you dont intend staying long (say a couple of years or so). There are so many advantages to renting. You can also sleep at night IN YOUR OWN BED knowing that you havent had to "work" in it that day. The advantages are endless. Well for me they are anyway.
I do agree however I think the stress of making the money, cleaning and maintaining two places would be too much for me, I'd rather work from my rented home and see less clients (at the moment anyway)
I think that it would be much easier owning your own place to work from, whilst neighbours can make your life hard they cant actually do anything about what/who you are doing in your own place.
I find with renting all it takes is one complaint from a neighbour to your agency/landlord and they are on your case. If you do anything your neighbours dont like they always take it up themselves to try and get you removed from the property, which unfortunately isnt that hard these days. It isnt that easy to rent anymore if its on your record you've been evicted, or you cant get references as all your landlords have had you out for prozzying at the property (or doing something else nosy neighbours arnt happy with).
I know this from bitter experience and I find with owning your own home theres very little neighbours can actually do. No one can take your home off you except the mortgage lender if you dont pay. If your a lady who has bought their home outright or paid off the mortgage you imo have pretty much nothing to worry about.
plus if you have a 2 or 3 bedroom house like I do and have a room spare you can do incalls in that and never have to use your own bed
throughout indie working, neighbours have been the bane of my life!!!
