While househunting, an interesting bed-and-breakfast/inn came up that ticked all the boxes. This opportunity is seldom seen. We would have to figure out a plan to generate "enough" income to make it work. We had considered an income-generating scenario and here it was.

Making a business plan is not casual watercooler chitchat. To formulate it in one evening violates every rule. We would be buying it as a house with benefits (hasn't every bad romance started off this way, "with benefits?"). Nothing flourished there in the standard format but I envisioned something different.

Fully furnished, too. Super hardwood features, stained glass, fireplaces, separate living quarters for the owners, a half-dozen bedrooms to accommodate a dozen guests. The mattresses would have to go but that would be the biggest initial expense.

 
The beauty of simplicity is simplicity.
 
"Yeah, but I wouldn't want to cook for anyone. Would you want to cook for ten people?!"

No, but you're already cooking so the time investment of super-sizing it would be a handsome payoff! A few thises and thats and the day would be well on its way. Kick the guests out, clean up. and plan when or if it continues. The goal is not a 24/7/365 open year-round inn. Quality before quantity.

I wouldn't dream of pulling off a gourmet meal or attempting a platinum tension-set ruby ring without serious practice. Even if you can't do gourmet, doing the basics superbly means you don't have to prove anything. The beauty of simplicity is simplicity.

On that note, keep your eyes peeled for my almost famous nearly gourmet breakfast pizzas and calzones! Reserve your spot early for the area's most diverse menu within a 400ft radius. Holiday cake orders have sold out weeks in advance so get 'em in early. Browse the eclectic gallery of ugly handmade silver chains, jewelry, and artwork. Every guest is a five-star experience for us, mostly when they leave.

I didn't end up viewing the hotel. It's probably gonna be sold in negative 15 minutes anyway so we'd be lucky to discuss anything before making an offer. Houses routinely sell for more than asking price which could put this beyond our realistic budget.

Your subconscious could easily believe a simulation is reality because I vividly imagined how it would work. Every cell in my body was rooting for me - as far as they were concerned this BNB/hotel was happening. Yeah baby! If you ever had difficulty conceptualizing large numbers, trillions of cells in uproar should fix that.
