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!)

Here is my situation: i bought a condo in 2015 because i was broke and it was what i could afford. it isnt in the best of neighborhoods and i assured my girlfriend (now my wife) that i would not take long to get out of it and turn it into a rental. fast forward, she got over it and doesnt hate it as much as she thought. now, we are currently shopping for a new primary.

Close to schools, shopping, shopping centers, and downtown areas. * Buyer agents will receive 2.5% commissionBuilding built in 1966. 3,328 sq ft.

Federal funding for med shop busts has been cut, so city ordinances are what you really need to worry about.

be careful when shopping for investment property, it's not where you want to live but more if the numbers work.
