Haha, thanks for the reply Paul. I do have an anchor tenant.. me. The first phase of the plan will be to utilize my existing space that I use for an unrelated company. I realized I am under utilizing the current space and there was room to take half of it (after a lot of "do I really need this" cleaning..) and dedicate it to coworking. So I am not necessarily concerned with cashflow right now. My company is taking care of the bills and I want to use this "free" space to build the community and see if there is really a market for a larger space.... so I do want to see that it's, at least in theory, capable of flowing cash in the long run. While I want the community to be first and foremost when it comes to the space, I'm not independently wealthy that I can support a space that has negative cashflow.
