Hi all! Aidan Strasser here - I lead the US acquisitions team for Bayview Partners, a Canadian based private investment firm. Primarily focused on DFW, also looking in HOU, FL & Atlanta. Look forward to building some relationships here!

first building of four vertical!

Wanted to give kudos to @Connor Dahl for securing my financing on a ground up 43,000 sqft small bay flex development in Greenville SC. Connor got me a construction to mini-perm loan with interest only for 24 months on a 5 year term with 25 year amortization at a 7.0% fixed rate for the term with 75% LTC. I met Connor through this Basecamp forum and he did a great job for me. I would recommend him and PeakHill Capital. Thanks @Will Skillman for putting this community together!

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

I'm a little late joining the conversation here, especially since I've had the pleasure of knowing and working directly with many of you in the self-storage industry for years! This looks like a great forum and resource, and I'm looking forward to connecting with both familiar faces and new ones. For those I haven't met, I'm with EDC, a mid-sized national general contractor headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. We build throughout the Eastern United States, with a strong focus on self-storage, small bay/flex, warehouse, and logistics facilities. I lead our construction programs in these sectors and enjoy working with owners, developers, and industry partners from the early planning stages through project completion. I'd also like to offer EDC as a resource to this group. Whether you have questions about construction costs, need preliminary budgeting assistance, want to explore value engineering opportunities, or simply want to bounce around ideas on a potential development, we're always happy to help. Those of you who already know me know that I'm easy to reach and always willing to have a conversation. Feel free to call, text, or email anytime. I'm looking forward to contributing to the forum, sharing ideas, and learning from everyone here. Please reach out and introduce yourself. I'd love to hear what you're working on!
