I suppose that the equity cannot be resold and have gains deferred, since corporate is not part of the 1031 guidelines, I believe. 

e.g. do you cater to business travelers?  

Taxation is such a broad field; as there is individual taxation, partnership taxation, corporate taxation, trust taxation etc.

Also, it takes a certain type of ***-kissing personality to successfully climb the corporate ladder, which I am also repelled by :p My Dad is no ***-kisser, that’s for sure!

The lease is guaranteed by the parent company, so even if store goes dark, we get paid as long as the company is solvent.We live abroad and are considering moving back to the States to take a more hands-on approach into something that doesn't have a ticking time bomb (our NNN lease ends in 2030, after which there are multiple 5-year options the corporation could or couldn't exercise).My wife wants to know if there are any other options to exit a 1031 exchange without getting gouged on capital gains (on already exchanged property). 

There is a new government court house( about a 10-12 story tower) that just went up less than .5 miles up the street so I also get a feeling a lot of corporate tenants may be coming into town.Neighborhood is up and coming, there are tons of student housing rentals up the street with similar not rehabbed units renting out at $1300-$1400 a month.

Who holds the majority of corporate 'junk' debt?

It would be beneficial to know if any big corporations or businesses coming to Chicago??

I want to go with Corporate Rentals with like extended short term that are 30 days or longer with things like Nurses, FDIC Agents, Oil Workers, you know those people who have to go into a hotspot to make things right and get paid BIG BUCKS for what they do and pay for like 3 months at a time. 

However you also run the risk of piercing the corporate veil by having your personal credit on the line.
