You can rent to them (via a corporate lease) for a lot more than standard rent.

Those will give you true long-term stability with minimal refinance risk — and you can shop around nationally for the best rates and lowest fees, rather than limiting yourself to local options.The key is working with a lender or broker who’ll stay with you through each phase — acquisition, rehab, and long-term hold — and understands how to navigate structured or corporate tenancy setups like sober living.If you’d like, I can share a few approaches we’ve used with investors doing multi-property BRRRRs under similar arrangements.

America has no ability to control the crypto, just the exchanges.

I would definitely get a commercial real estate agent involved and not negotiate directly with their corporate attorneys.

There’s a ton of opportunity in those suburbs depending on what you’re optimizing for: Hanover Park and Elk Grove tend to offer stronger cash flow, while places like Morton Grove or Niles lean more toward appreciation and stability.If you’re open to both long-term and mid-term rentals, you’re in a great spot, the northwest suburbs have solid tenant demand from hospitals, corporate relocations, and families looking for good schools.Happy to chat anytime about investment strategy, rent comps, or local submarket data if you want a deeper dive.

Hey BiggerPockets community,I’m currently working a full-time 9–5 job, but my long-term goal is to grow out of corporate life and build a career in real estate investing.

We live in such a politically manipulated world today you have to push through the BS but at the end of the day, the major corporations run the country and will dictate pretty much everything.To be fair we are in an intensely levered world of things today. 

They’re not just working harder; they’re working smarter with the S-Corporation tax strategy.But before we dive in, let’s clear one thing up:*This only works for active income.That means flipping, wholesaling, commissions, construction, or property management income.It does not apply to rental properties or long-term passive investments — and putting rentals inside an S-Corp is one of the worst tax mistakes you can make.Let’s break it all down:Step 1: Why the S-Corp Exists (and Who It’s For)An S-Corporation (S-Corp) is not a special type of company; it’s a tax election.You can form an LLC, then elect for it to be taxed as an S-Corp.It’s perfect for people earning active income — anything where you work for the money:-Flipping houses-Wholesaling deals-Real estate commissions-Property management fees-Contracting or constructionHere’s why:A sole proprietor or regular LLC pays self-employment tax (15.3%) on all net income.An S-Corp lets you split your income between:a “reasonable salary” (subject to payroll tax)and “distributions” (not subject to self-employment tax).That simple shift can easily save five figures a year once your business income hits the six-figure mark.Step 2: How the Wealthy Use It to Build Explosive WealthHere’s the play wealthy entrepreneurs use again and again:They pay themselves smart, not just more.Set a reasonable salary — what the IRS expects for your role — and take the rest as distributions to cut payroll taxes.They reinvest the savings.The extra cash that would’ve gone to taxes gets redeployed into more flips, marketing, or acquisitions — compounding their growth.They hire strategically.Many bring family members into legitimate roles, shifting income and creating generational wealth legally.They layer entities.Example:S-Corp runs the active business (flipping / wholesaling / management).LLCs hold the long-term rentals.That separation protects liability and keeps tax treatment clean.Why S-Corps Don’t Work for Rental PropertiesHere’s where many investors go wrong — using an S-Corp to hold rentals.

The beneficial interest of the land trust is an entity you control like an LLC, S Corp, C Corp or another trust.

IMHO, clearly pierced the corporate vail here.
