OK, let me just respond with my experience because it might be helpful to you or someone else.
1. Agreed 100%, I also cannot work from home. Especially with a toddler running around. I need to physically separate myself, so I rent an office space that's a 10 minute walk away (I'm in NYC). It worked out really nicely.
2. This might be the case if you're the odd one out. I can see how that would be isolating. Look for companies that have a remote culture, eg 50% or more of the employees are remote. I wouldn't want to be the guy working remotely as an exception.
Also, I have tried the "working out of a coffee shop" thing and couldn't stand it. It's very uncomfortable. I felt like a freeloader and I need a large, permanent workspace.
