I enjoy what I do now, but I don't want to spend my whole life working in the corporate world. 

I personally search for: Owner Equity - 30% or moreAge of Occupant - 45+Years Owned - 5+ yearsProperty Type - 1-4 unitsExclude Corporate OwnedExclude Trust OwnedOwnership Type - Absentee.

(B) "Real estate" includes leaseholds as well as any and every interest or estate in land situated in this state, whether corporeal or incorporeal, whether freehold or nonfreehold, and the improvements on the land, but does not include cemetery interment rights.

You could then make contributions to the Solo 401k from your self-employment income (i.e. w-2 income when your business is taxed as an S-corporation).5.

Honestly, I am an employer in the corporate finance space and I look at even a real estate master's degrees as a junk degree (I view MS Finance, MBA, and BS Mathematics as superior degrees if you are pursuing a corporate role). 

For example, in my late 20s, I went through a major career change (from engineering to business in a corporate setting).

If you're using any personal funds, unless their use and acquisition is documented properly, can take down the corporate veil and be porous. 

In my experience, those larger complexes are managed by corporate property management, very cold and impersonal, inflexible and often inattentive.

@Ryan Beasley This would vary depending on negotiations with each buyer, but typically large corporations like McDonald's would negotiate for a ROFR, right to go dark, termination option, and several renewal options, at a minimum.

People at companies I dealt with when I worked in Corporate America would not return my phone calls once I left my job (which is hard not to take personally).
