If all those are NO's then I ask if they are in acquisition mode and what is their criteria?

I have been able to keep up with payments on the 0% card, but it's definitely a nice safety net in case you can't get your balance to zero in one month.

IN my case the women were much better negotiating and closing than the  men the men were there for safety.. this is just reality of the day.. not sexist.. 

I've been lurking for a couple months as I've been in avid learning mode.

I really don't know more than the basic safety and mitigation approaches for asbestos, but I would look closely at your tenant's overall situation, how reliable they seem, and if they have a history of causing issues.  

If the property has any health or safety hazards, VA will require that you fix them before moving in. 

Management fee's range from 5 - 10% of gross rents, so if you are putting together a model I would go on the higher end.Depending on the size of the shopping center, it could be a few hundred a month or a couple thousand. 

There's a lot of great advice here and I'm sure there will be quite a few responses from local folks looking to help you out :)  My quick advice is to figure out exactly what your business model is. 

The 30 year gives you the added flexibility (and safety) of choosing your payment schedule as you go, at the expense of a slightly higher interest rate.

More of a safety-net in my eyes, in-case something unexpected happens or plans change before I move to the next property.
