@Felix Rodriguez  Let me know if you come to town...happy to talk shop!  

My wife is an accountant and she has several clients who own apartments, shopping centers, hotels, motels- all very successful and none of them are 'passive' with their investments. 

I am thinking normal utilities being provided in a communal fashion similar to many pitch your tent campgrounds.

In addition to that, lots of retail has actually been demolished over the past decade to make room for higher density projects, like apartments.That said, most retail landlords with high quality shopping centers aren't dying for deals.

I recommend working with an experienced broker who can shop multiple investors for you.

I recommend using a broker who can shop a bunch of different lenders and their platforms for you.

Shop around to see where you can get the coverage you want at the price you want . . . we have done well with Steadily as they shop carriers and can get what you want for the specific situation you are in. 

., just a couple thoughts.When I was shopping loans for larger properties, the lenders I was talking to would have accepted a signed Property management agreement as the "experience".  

I would let a broker shop this out for you.

Get the lock that also has a hole for a physical key  and then have a good ole fashion lockbox with the key in it as a back up Example of yale with key Dont get one like this without a keyGOOD LUCK!
