Does anyone do there own prelim concept plans while under contract or doing due diligence? If so what software do you use? We have engaged Civil Engineers in the past and some will do it for free if you have a relationship but a lot of them also do it for an hourly rate or as part of their overall package. In an effort to not waste their time, if we are not yet sure the project is viable, or spend money before we have gone hard on a property Id like the ability to easy sketch up marginally accurate site plans

May have missed it on previous calls, but how are you conducting market research/feasibility reports when looking into new markets? Are you using software like Crexi or CoStar?

Great presentation today from Barry Sherman of S3 Parnters (Also my boss). Wanted to share the PowerPoint that formed the crux of his discussion. Reach out to me if you have any further questions. Happy to help anyone with this subject. It's S3's bread & butter.

Anyone else planning to be there? I'll be at Flex Connect this year. Two days, fully focused on flex and small bay: construction costs, financing and capital stacks, deal structure, live underwriting, the real operator stuff, not general CRE fluff. I negotiated a discount rate for Basecamp members, link below contains the discount code. Also floating an idea: if there's enough interest, I may put together a casual networking event, happy hour, dinner, the evening before (Sept 29th) for anyone in town early. Drop a comment if that's something you'd want, that'll help me gauge numbers. I am not affiliated with the conference, but I attended it a couple years ago and found it very informative. https://flexspaceconnect.com/home?am_id=willskillman8975
