Ed? Hi! I agree with those who've suggested you find a way to begin without incurring the enormous overhead-costs. Believe me, zillions of small businesses have come and gone here over the years, mainly I believe, because (otherwise talented and savy) folks leaped in way over their heads without having done the research.
My ex and I ran a successful business from our home in HPP for over 15 years and managed to sell it (to another guy who's doing quite nicely) for a pretty good wad. I'm convinced though, that had we opened an actual storefront somewhere, we'd have gone bust within the year.
Good luck with whatever you decide of course!
