I dunno... I've seen the office spaces like this before and nearly rented one myself one time. They are a great way to keep costs super low and pass that savings onto your customers. Also gotta keep in mind when you're dealing with a one man operation that lots of things can effect communication. A family emergency or getting stuck in the hospital effectively shuts the business down. The business owner does have a responsibility to let customers know, however...red flag...red flag...red flag!
