One person, Two Places

I, with my family, recently moved from California to Iowa. I grew up not too far from here and wanted to be back in a smaller community. With that, I have decided to start my business up again after taking the past 2 years off to have and raise my 16 month old daughter.

There's a chiropractor's office that put an ad in the paper about a month ago and I applied. They like me a lot. So much that they are waiting for me to get everything in order. (I take the MBLEx next week and they are waiting for me to get that done and all the other tax stuff in place.) The massage therapist has their own business in their office and with that come many perks. Here are some to name a few: use of the office manager/receptionist, credit card machine, washer/dryer on site, and all the other typical stuff of a chiropractor's office such as parking, waiting room, and etc. Payment is made to me by the doctor every 2 weeks or so but no taxes taken out. I would be an independent contractor. Which I like.

A couple weeks ago, a friend informed me there was another chiropractor's office looking for a therapist. It's in another town, smaller, and I meet with the doctor tomorrow. From what the receptionist has told me about the place, is it's very similar to the 1st chiropractor's office I mentioned. The one difference I do know of is I would be paid by the clients and if the client paid by credit card, the office would give me cash, with no fee. The rent is substantially less, more than 1/2, of what the first chiropractor is asking.

I realize I need to see what the second place looks and feels like, but what if I like it better. I know it's business, and I need to go where the business is better, but I am feeling a little bit of an obligation to the first since they have invested so much time with me.

Suggestions needed/wanted!!
