I did this for a while several years ago, but at that time I was living in a small place. When I moved into my new place with the extra room I turned that into an office and moved back. However, here is my advice. If possible either don't sign a lease at first or try renting a small temporary space for at least a few months and make sure you like it. You may find yourself hating it and if that is the case it would suck to be stuck in a long term lease. If you like it you can always sign a lease or look for a perfect spot.

When I started doing it the office I found was about 15 minutes away from house so it worked really well. It wasn't much of a drive and I found I got a lot more done than I was just working out of my bedroom.

Another thought. You may wish to be honest and up front with the landlords if they ask you what you do. I have heard of companies moving into offices only to have the landlords find out they are porn companies and make their lives miserable.
