I will agree to replace it and have my handyman shop around and install it.

Just wanted to know if that's standard or if I should price shop.

Once the property is stabilized I then shop the asset to a bank and payback my short term lenders.  

The reason I'm asking b/c I saw a vacant shopping center for years and it seems like a good area.  

Hi, My name is Moses Im looking in to buying shopping malls,In CA,Taxes etc.Anybody with advise what I need to be looking at ?

@Brandon Hotopp, I'm not sure about Denver, but in Oregon, if you are not associated with a brokerage, you are issued an inactive license, which means you won't get the perks of being an agent.If you decide to get your license, shop around for a brokerage that is friendly towards investor-agents and has low fees.

I've found that I've learned a little from each one that I speak with and they do offer different rates and different financing options so I it is definitely worth shopping around.  

IN most states unless your licensed your not legally allowed to take points.. in lui of that you can raise your rate... most folks going to private lenders as we are discussing are looking for cheaper money than the local HML ing shop... but its negotiations at that point.Land loans are to be avoided unless again you want to own that land... these are the most risky .. and most lenders will not go over 50% LTV I would not do that and I would want significant cash into the deal...

I have never worked in this market so I would like to connected with seasoned investors in the area in which I can go shopping for. 

I might start looking at the Bowie area for potential flips--I am comfortable there as it is one of my "shopping districts" I go to frequently (we don't have much in the way of major shopping in Calvert County!)
