Probably get a better deal if you're facing a high traffic area.

You want great terms as a tenant if you renew on that option spelled out otherwise the landlord will try to hold you hostage and make up the lost income for the past 3 years on the renewal option.It's like chess in that you have to think many moves ahead to make sure you have the long term winning strategy.I agree that the big boys might let a center sit and then lease up very slow at great per sq ft rates or just take write offs with it.With anchored shopping centers you have to watch out for co-tenant clauses.This gives the smaller tenants the right to break the lease and leave if something happens to the anchor.Depending on the design of the center you don't get the benefit of an anchor always.You can be in a center right next to the anchor or you can be in a side strip where 80% of the off traffic won't come to you yet they are still hitting you with a high per sq ft rate.All of these keys become very important when doing anything with retail as they can help you sink or swim.Another aspect is if you have an older anchored shopping center the anchor might be re-imaging and ask for improvements from the landlord that could equal hundreds of thousands or more.

Hopefully this is good encouragement for you to start thinking through the details of how and when things will get done, BEFORE you purchase the properties.As for the flip that has been on the market for 3 weeks, are you getting much traffic through the property?
