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.

Small Bay Basecamp Networking Call
You've been asking for it, so here it is. The last Monday of every month we're setting aside an hour just to connect, no presentation, no slides, just networking. You'll be placed in breakout rooms of 3-4 people, and we'll rotate rooms every 15 minutes so you get real conversations with a handful of different members throughout the hour. One ask: if you're joining, commit to the full hour. Rooms only work if everyone sticks around, jumping in and out mid-rotation leaves people short a conversation partner. First one is August 31st. Come ready to talk shop, trade war stories, and actually meet the people you've been seeing in the chat every week. If you are going to Flex Connect next month, it would be great to join the first call to meet some of the people also going to the conference. I look forward to seeing everyone there. wS

Weekly Call Recording -> Hiring the Right GC
Missed Friday's call with Barry Sherman? Worth the watch. He walked through how to vet a contractor before you sign anything, how to structure your payment schedule so you're never exposed, and the red flags experienced developers catch that first-timers usually miss. If you are getting started in Small Bay ground-up development, and you don't know where to start with hiring a GC. This call is for you.

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.

Disanexation
For discussion: I have land on a state highway on the edge of a small town near Austin. At one point a few years ago the town decided to annex the corridor extending about 450’ and 5 miles out along the route. There was a group of owners that rejected it so that section is now developed but not much else. My property is close to town and has 370 ‘ of frontage. It is a deep tract so I have 4.4 acres in the city but another 13 in the county and the ETJ. Obviously the hurdles to development are much different between the two. It’s all R-1 at the moment but they view it as potential commercial. I have applied to rezone the front to C-3. The county part has no zoning restrictions. I was advised by a developer that I should try to be dis annexed from the ETJ in case the city ever decides to start enforcing restrictions. On the city portion: when I pressed the city about sewer and water they said they were unable to extend it to there due to the railroad between us. Others have confirmed that the railroad here is powerful and hard to deal with. I have a well and septic and it is probably less costly and faster to enhance that than tie in anyway. My research shows that I have grounds for dis annexation and I think it will save me a lot of time and money if I can get it done. I found an attorney that does it. Any thoughts or comments. Sorry this so long winded but wanted to present the whole scenario. I’m sure someone here has dealt with this before.
