Overhead is too high? Why? Need to fix that or you'll drown or slowly bleed to death financially. (I know these things - Take a look at my signature.).
L is best at what? If you need the emotional support then maybe he isn't the best for YOU.
Overhead is mostly high rent. H adding another place makes it impossible.
I am looking for places now.
L is a relative and for now is free and one of the "best" in town. May not be the best for me if things get touchy but for now he is a valuable resource.
