Hey everyone — Scott Porter here from Charleston, SC. My partners, Paul Santana and Harris Jones (both in the group), and I are pursuing small-bay/flex industrial through JSP Investments (Jones, Santana & Porter). Quick snapshot: - Markets: Charleston Tri-County, expanding into Greenville/Spartanburg and Rock Hill. - Activity: Swinging the bat — primarily targeting canceled/expired listings through brokers, touring, underwriting, and submitting LOIs. Charleston pricing ($250–$300+/SF) has created headwinds, but we're making offers based on the math and sharing our underwriting with brokers, which has resonated well. - Strategy: Value-add flex, single-to-multi-tenant conversions, lease-up, and occasional salon-suite conversions. - Structures: Cash, seller carry seconds, full seller financing, and occasional seller participation. - Prospecting: Big believer in direct-to-seller outreach, with the goal of securing face-to-face appointments rather than negotiating deals over the phone. We're working to build an off-market pipeline using ownership tenure, absentee ownership, portfolio size, etc., while getting to know key brokers through calls and coffee meetings. Buy box attached! For those who've closed deals, how did you source your first one, and how long did it take? What's working for your off-market pipeline — Invelo, Reonomy, direct mail, calling, VAs? If you come across SC small-bay/flex opportunities, please send them our way! I also have a separate SC land entitlement business, so happy to look at land deals outside your buy box. Open to JVs as well. We've enjoyed the Friday sessions — thanks to Will and Thaddeus for building a great community! Anyone headed to Tyler Cauble's Nashville mastermind next week? Would love to meet up!

I am excited to announce that @Cody Payne has agreed to a quarterly market update call as part of the Basecamp community. If you haven't attended one of Cody's calls, they provide incredible market insights, statistics that you won't find anywhere else, and actionable information to help you become a better operator / developer. I would put this on your calendar now so you don't miss it. Date: October 22nd Time: 4:00 pm CT Call Link: Market Update

We're launching a weekly community call and I want to build it around what you actually want, not what I assume you want. Below are the topics on the table. Unfortunately, the poll only allows for one selection, so please comment a second selection or something not on the list. The first month of calls gets built around the results. Poll closes in 7 days.
