Property Mgmt Software
Any recommendations on software or solutions for property management, tax accounting, and investor reporting? I know there are a ton that do one or the other etc, but I am looking for something that is all encompassing in this new age of AI. Seems there are a ton of options, from something small to the Yardis of the world - would be great to have a proven solution for multiple properties - preferably one that leverages AI to save on manpower and time.

Launching Basecamp Newsletter
The SMALL BAY INDUSTRIAL INSIDER is live. I built this to complement what we're doing here in the Basecamp community. Each issue takes the sharpest insights from that week's call and turns it into something you can actually use: real numbers, real deal breakdowns, and a Playbook section with a takeaway you can act on the same day you read it. No pitch, no fluff. Same reason we do these calls for free: I want to build something genuinely useful. If you've been on the calls, this is the written companion. If you've missed a few, this is how you catch up without watching an hour of recordings. The content will continue to evolve and grow well beyond the weekly calls. Subscribe here: The SMALL BAY INDUSTRIAL INSIDER First issues are already out. Would love to know what you think.

@Will Skillman very well done! Great summary of the call with actionable insights.
Intro
Hi Everyone, my name is Cary. I work as Director of Acquisitions for Web City Properties and Jordan DSilva, who is also in this community. We are based in the DFW and have a background in MF/residential and adaptive reuse projects. More recently we have started to focus on small bay and flex industrial development. I am most interested in site selection, underwriting philosophy, deal structuring and learning more about product niches. Looking forward to connecting!

Welcome @Cary Williams
Looking to build in Asheville NC
Hi all! My wife and I have owned commercial properties in Asheville NC for about 10 years and I'd love to build one or two more. I've gotten some estimates but the construction costs were so high that the investment math didn't work out. I've seen stories on LinkedIn about people building flex, small-bay and "luxury storage" at affordable prices so I'm here hoping to get some hints on how to achieve that.

@Brock Fraser we are finalizing plans and costs for a new build in Spartanburg SC. Happy to share what we are seeing for construction costs for single story 19’ clear height 25x50 bays. Our plan has 3 buildings with 35 units.

Without the land I have bids at $120-$125 for site work and vertical construction.
Preleasing For Bank Loans
Has anyone had any experience with bank lending requirements wanting to see a certain percentage preleased prior to closing on the construction loan? And as an expansion to that - can people share their preleasing experience with Small Bay? Is that feasible, or is this asset class a "build it first then lease" type of asset? And if so - how do you reconcile banks wanting to see preleases?

I have seen this as a requirement most recently on a project I have in South Carolina, where I was looking at a new banking relationship and they were requiring at least 25% of the units to be leased prior to construction loan. I continued to shop banking institutions and have secured a lender without this requirement. I think it pays to shop.
