Interest rate swap: pros and cons?

[Priya Shekhar]

Hi, I am looking for Financing for a retail shopping center that I am purchasing in Las Vegas. I was considering interest rate swap financing and wanted to know from people who have had experience with such financing. What are the risks? Even conventional loans have pre payment penalties so what else is the risk in going with interest rate swap product that many big banks offer?
Also look forward to connecting with folks who have commercial investments in Vegas.
