Does anyone have any recommendations for insurance brokers? Have a new project in predevelopment stages north of Atlanta, and need insurance quotes for during construction as well as post stabilization.

I am a 31+ year veteran in the self-storage industry and currently specialize in Property and casualty for self-storage and for Flex space. I saw a shift a couple of years ago for SS investors pivoting to Flex and small bay and I am learning more about this industry to be able to provide p and C coverage for owners and investors in Small bay and Flex. I am an owner of 11 SS locations and am looking at opportunities to be part of the the small bay ownership as well.

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

Welcome! Small Bay Basecamp is the place where small bay industrial investors - and future investors - come to learn, connect, and talk deals. Whether you own a portfolio of warehouses or you're still figuring out what a cap rate is, you belong here. The only thing we ask is that you participate. There is no other community built specifically for small bay industrial. LinkedIn is noisy and scattered. Facebook groups are generic. This is the one room on the internet dedicated entirely to the sub-30,000 SF multi-tenant industrial space, and the people here range from experienced operators to first-time investors asking sharp questions. That mix is what makes it valuable. The single most important thing you can do right now: Introduce yourself in the Member Introductions discussion thread. Tell us who you are, what market you're in or interested in, and where you are in your journey - whether that's closing your tenth deal or researching your first. The people in this room are your future deal partners, your sounding board, and your competitive edge, but only if they know who you are. How to get the most out of this community: This community lives and dies by what its members put into it. The feed is where the real value is. Post a deal you're evaluating and ask the room what they think. Share a market observation that others might not be seeing. Ask the question you've been stuck on - there are no dumb questions here, only expensive lessons you can avoid by asking first. Answer someone else's question with what you've learned. Challenge an assumption. The more you engage, the more this room gives back. Post in the right category — Market Discussion for trends, observations, and debate. General Discussion for everything else. Member Intros to tell us who you are. Sharpen your fundamentals: The Classroom has a full six-module course - the Small Bay Industrial Investor Toolkit - covering everything from asset class fundamentals and deal underwriting to BRRRR strategy, value-add execution, capital structuring, and deal sourcing. Each module includes a downloadable checklist you can use on your next deal. Work through it at your own pace, and bring your questions back to the feed.
