There's a lot to be gained by selecting your items and putting them in your shopping cart (online) but not yet checking out so that you're ready to pull the trigger once you've closed, especially if you're doing MTR or LTR.

However, many of those properties are actually on ground leases, so its very rare that the shopping center owner is willing to parcel off a pad and cell it, more often than not they are retaining the dirt and the restaurant is leasing the dirt (generally $100K-$180K annually from most markets I operate in) and then the business builds the building and when they leave the LL gets to keep it and lease it to another tenant. 

Then at least you will  know what the market price is before you go shopping. 

That's why I am building a hybrid hotel/apartment community with automated entry, exit, and communication, on site amenities (pool, gym, laundry, outdoor courtyard with kitchen), located in the shopping and restaurant areas, and adjacant to major transportation corridors. 

Shop around for best terms.

Kinda like shopping for a car: when you really think about what you want or need, you may decide good gas mileage, large enough for your family, good power, and other specific qualities or features.

I was shopping for warranties for our 3 rentals a yr ago and ended up paying $7,000 for 6 yr policies with Home Choice - which has been an absolute nightmare!!

Turn key providers are a good one stop shop option, if they are being honest and transparent about the marketplace you are looking into and the product they are selling (pros and cons, etc).

Hi Illya, Columbus has been booming lately, thanks to big names like Intel (dropping a cool $20 billion), Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up shop with warehouses and data centers.

Since we don’t shop our interest rates around they gave us 7 year versus 5 year balloon terms.
