🚨 PRICE REDUCED to $895,000 | 12% Pro Forma Cap Rate 🚨

We have just repositioned the pricing on 3217 W Montrose Ave—a fully occupied, 4,000 SF retail condo in Chicago’s highly constrained Northwest City submarket.

This asset is currently operated by an out-of-state owner and offers massive, immediate upside. We purposely maintained month-to-month leases across 5 of the 6 units, giving you the ultimate blank slate:

📈 Investors: Instantly convert the below-market gross leases to standard NNN leases to unlock a 12% Pro Forma Cap Rate. No waiting years for long-term lease expirations.
🏢 Owner-Users: Quickly vacate the majority of the ground-floor footprint for your own business while securing favorable SBA financing and keeping in-place income from the remaining tenant.

Chicago street retail with this level of stability and immediate flexibility is rare.

🚨 CALL FOR OFFERS & STRATEGIC PRICE REDUCTION 🚨
Deadline: Friday, July 24th at 5:00 PM CDT

We have officially reduced the asking price to $1,175,000 ($84.53/SF) for the Regus-anchored office condominium located at 1N131 County Farm Rd in Winfield, IL.

This is a unique, performance-driven Regus (IWG) corporate partnership model. To make this an absolute no-brainer for the incoming investor, the seller is offering a massive concession: The seller will completely pay off and zero-balance the outstanding historical startup deficit out of their closing proceeds.

By resetting the ledger to a true "Clean Slate," a buyer steps immediately into a highly bankable 13.15% Y1 Pro Forma Cap Rate with unilateral landlord termination rights.

Core Investment Highlights:
* Secure Basis Play: Aggressive $84.53/SF basis — well below replacement cost thresholds.
* Clean Ledger: Bypassing early ramp-up costs entirely at closing.
* Ultimate Flexibility: Unilateral termination rights allow a buyer to buy-and-hold for passive income, or an owner-user to partly/entirely occupy the building if desired.
* Low-Maintenance Condo Asset: Association-managed exterior and common area maintenance minimizes day-to-day management headaches.
* Built-In Value Add: Baseline supported by a stabilized ~76% occupied Regus footprint, a stable lower-level
* MTM tenant, and an additional turnkey 3,325 SF basement vacancy ready for immediate traditional lease-up.
* Premium Node: Located in DuPage County’s premier medical corridor, less than 1 mile from the Northwestern Medicine CDH campus.

5 Reasons a Multifamily Property Tax Strategy Outperforms Market Timing

The single biggest mistake high-income earners make with their real estate portfolios right now?

Evaluating property performance in a vacuum.

If you are holding onto a flat multifamily asset or sitting on the sidelines because of current interest rates, you are looking at the micro when you should be looking at the macro.

Sophisticated real estate execution is rarely about "selling a property for the sake of selling." It is about the velocity of capital and maximizing your tax-adjusted yield.

With 100% bonus depreciation permanently back on the table thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and recent IRS guidance, the real estate tax-shield landscape has completely reset.

By transacting out of a seasoned asset where depreciation has been exhausted and utilizing a 1031 Exchange paired with a Cost Segregation study on a replacement property, you can:
* Wipe Out Six-Figure Liabilities: Generate massive Year 1 paper losses to shield active ordinary income.
* Neutralize Rate Friction: Immediate tax liquidity frequently eclipses a 1% or 2% variance in a mortgage interest rate.
* Rebalance Strategically: Move trapped equity from stagnant locations into high-growth corridors.

Whether your portfolio is anchored here in the competitive Chicago market or distributed across the country, your real estate shouldn't just manage cash flow—it should cooperatively optimize your net worth.

I broke down the exact math, the tax landscape, and the restructuring mechanics in our latest strategic guide for eXp Commercial.
