Leasing Application
Does anyone have a leasing application to share? What is the criteria you look for specific to Small Bay Industrial? Thanks in advance?

Appreciate the quick reply. We are looking at DoorLoop for PM.

@Colton Saucier anyone else have other suggestions? We are also looking at Yardi Breeze, Quickstor, Flexmanagementsystem, 6Storage, etc. All names I’ve heard at various conferences…
Create your own opportunity
YOU WANT OPPORTUNITY? CREATE IT. You do not always need money to make money. Sometimes you need the right circumstances. An underused property. An existing customer base. A tired owner. A business that lost focus. Infrastructure that already exists. A long-term lease. Seller financing. An operator willing to do the work. That is opportunity. The mistake is thinking opportunity has to arrive fully formed. It usually doesn't. You create it. Find stranded pieces of economic value. Control them. Organize them into a business. Create revenue. Create EBITDA. Create a measurable path to profitability. Then bring in capital to compound what already exists. You do not necessarily have to be profitable on Day One. You need to show that the business is real, the revenue is real, the problems are identifiable, and there is a credible path from where you are today to where you are going. Money can accelerate a business. But money does not have to create the business. That is the difference. At THE YARDS, we believe opportunity is something you build. You want opportunity? Create it. THE YARDS can show you how.

This hits home for me today. We are actively talking about start a plumbing company to support everything else we have going on. Because why not?
Insulation vs. Liner Panel
Please share your thoughts on the pros and cons of replacing damaged insulation with insulation (MBI Batt or Spray Foam) or liner panel.

We are using vinyl backed batt with metal panels as shown in the picture on the right, to reduce damage.
Preleasing For Bank Loans
Has anyone had any experience with bank lending requirements wanting to see a certain percentage preleased prior to closing on the construction loan? And as an expansion to that - can people share their preleasing experience with Small Bay? Is that feasible, or is this asset class a "build it first then lease" type of asset? And if so - how do you reconcile banks wanting to see preleases?

We have a 20+ year banking relationship where preleasing was not required. That said, we have been “soft launching” the project on social media, Facebook, etc all through land development. We’ve collected a “serious” waiting list of about 20 for 14 spots. I take that with a grain of salt but we do have 2 tours/plan reviews already scheduled this week and we just broke ground last week. Leasing efforts will ramp up and get more serious from here for a December delivery. We’ll see what sticks.
Solar?
Hi everyone! I wanted to see if anyone has implemented solar on their properties. For those who have: how has it turned out? For those who haven't, what kept you away?

There’s not a big solar push here in PA but I’m curious to hear the thoughts.
