As others say, make it crystal clear in your listing that the "shells may cut a dog's paws, and we don't allow pets." 

Let’s cut through the nonsense: this isn’t about networking.

I would protect myself and cut my losses so I was not looking over my shoulder or getting high blood pressure every time I heard a knock on the door (hoping it is not the FBI showing up to ask you some questions). 

Nobody likes to work hard in the heat.The biggest concern in the past has been winter, but 2024 was the warmest year on record and we have seen +3F on average in every season, which really took the edge of winter (you can call it brown grass season now) while summers are pleasant 75-85F.The cost of living is low, yet the quality of live is relatively high.

Centralize your back office / use remote employees / VA where appropriate to cut costs and improve service levels / responsiveness.  5.

A clean cut, I get that it might be hard emotionally and financially but a clear break on stuff is what you need not more stuff that keeps you together that will just be one more thing to fight over later.

Since you have high incomes and can cut your spending quickly if necessary you should be ok with some cash in a HYSA and some short term credit available.
