Hi guys! Will anyone be at “The Show” self-storage conference in Atlanta this week? If so, I’d love to get a happy hour together! Feel free to comment/message me if you’re going!

Looking to build out ~75k sqft of flex warehouse / small bay in chapel hill. Any recommendations for optimizing the capital stack? Specifically finding and vetting joint venture, GC, LP and construction lending partners

What is everyone using to track contacts and properties? I've outgrown spreadsheets. I need one place for people, brokers, tenants, contractors, attorneys, trades, developers, potential partners, and one for properties and deals. Do you run both in one system or keep them separate? Curious what's actually working for people at a small scale.

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'll be in NYC the next two days and I am wondering if anyone in the group is from there. I would love the opportunity to meet in person for a coffee or quick bite if the timing works out.
