-Use S-Corps for active income only.That’s how the wealthy keep their strategies clean and scalable.Step 3: Why 2025 Made S-Corps Even StrongerThe 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill” permanently locked in several huge advantages for S-Corp owners:- The 20% Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction is here to stay for pass-throughs.- Interest deduction limits are back to EBITDA-based — allowing bigger write-offs for business financing.- And pass-through entities like S-Corps continue to enjoy lower effective tax rates than C-Corps.Combine that with self-employment tax savings, and it’s easy to see why most successful flippers, agents, and wholesalers use this setup once income grows.Example (Simplified)Say your wholesaling business nets $200K this year:Without S-Corp:You pay 15.3% self-employment tax on $200K = $30,600With S-Corp:You take $90K salary, $110K distributionSE tax only applies to the $90K salaryYou save roughly $16K–$18K per year in payroll taxPlus, the 20% QBI deduction on part of your incomeThat’s money you can pour right back into scaling — the real secret to how wealthy investors accelerate growth.The Rental Reality CheckIf that $200K were from rental income, though?
