I worked from an in-home office for a few years and second this. If you're easily distracted and have any sort of problem staying on-task, you could be asking for trouble. I used to take a break at lunchtime to walk to the mailbox (1/4 mile) and sometimes wouldn't make it back to my desk for hours if it was a nice day (especially if there happened to be a check in the box). It's cool to "commute" up the stairs, but some of us, especially lazy, attention-deficit procrastinators like me, do better in an office environment.
Also, telecommuting is one thing, but be very wary of any sort of "home-based online business" scheme.
