Hello! About me, I'm a 41 year old male in need of a place to live and/or work. I can't quite afford to rent a room or apartment in the area without absolutely working myself to death. I grew up in San Rafael and would like to stay in the area close to family and my current job. So somewhere in Marin would be ideal. Open to surrounding areas too. I am friendly, responsible and know how to be a good roommate or neighbor. I was previously taking care of a family member out of state who is suffering from dementia. Staying with family now but they plan to move in November.
What I am looking for could take many forms so I'm open to hearing what might be available. I can't afford a whole lot and what I would be willing to pay depends on the space, location, amenities and other factors. Open to a space that would be just for day use where I can work, cook and keep some of my things. However I'd rather find somewhere I can sleep as well, access at all hours. I could make do without running water but electricity would be most helpful. Bonus if I could bring a couple cats as there are 2 very sweet strays that are being fed where I am currently staying with who will be left high and dry when they move. They are very affectionate and would be great indoor/outdoor, prime for adoption!
So something like a garage would be ideal. I would have space to live work and sleep. I would make it so I would not need access to the main household. I could have all my needs met in a civilized manner. If you have other odd spaces to rent that could possibly help me patch together a living situation I'd be opening to hear about it. A place to live and work during the day or a safe place to park a camper or something. Whatever! You get the point. I'm just trying to work something out so if you might be able to help I'd love to talk more and hear what you have to offer.
Aside from cash payment for space I would also be open to exchanging some type of work or service as at least partial payment. It all depends on the duties, space, etc. I want the situation to be mutually beneficial!
