The SMALL BAY INDUSTRIAL INSIDER is live. I built this to complement what we're doing here in the Basecamp community. Each issue takes the sharpest insights from that week's call and turns it into something you can actually use: real numbers, real deal breakdowns, and a Playbook section with a takeaway you can act on the same day you read it. No pitch, no fluff. Same reason we do these calls for free: I want to build something genuinely useful. If you've been on the calls, this is the written companion. If you've missed a few, this is how you catch up without watching an hour of recordings. The content will continue to evolve and grow well beyond the weekly calls. Subscribe here: The SMALL BAY INDUSTRIAL INSIDER First issues are already out. Would love to know what you think.

Anyone else planning to be there? I'll be at Flex Connect this year. Two days, fully focused on flex and small bay: construction costs, financing and capital stacks, deal structure, live underwriting, the real operator stuff, not general CRE fluff. I negotiated a discount rate for Basecamp members, link below contains the discount code. Also floating an idea: if there's enough interest, I may put together a casual networking event, happy hour, dinner, the evening before (Sept 29th) for anyone in town early. Drop a comment if that's something you'd want, that'll help me gauge numbers. I am not affiliated with the conference, but I attended it a couple years ago and found it very informative. https://flexspaceconnect.com/home?am_id=willskillman8975

Quick reminder, we're live today at 11:00 AM EDT. Barry Sherman of S3 Partners on how to vet, negotiate, and pay contractors without overpaying, and the red flags experienced developers never ignore. 30 minutes. No fluff. -> Join us a 15 min early for some member networking. -> Call Link: https://meet.google.com/kga-gxcs-wvs?authuser=0

We ran a poll, and monthly won clearly over weekly - so let's make it happen. The format: A 45-60 min call built entirely around meeting people, not listening to a presentation. We'll break into rooms of 3-4 for 15-minute rounds, rotating 3-4 times - so by the end you'll have actually talked to 6-10 people in the community.. No prep needed. Show up, introduce yourself, talk shop, repeat. Now the hard part: picking a day and time that works. We're spread across time zones and schedules, so rather than guess, help me find the best fit. Rather than run another poll with a long list of days and times, drop a comment with your best day/time (and time zone) - e.g. 'Tuesday evenings, ET' or 'Weekend mornings, CT.'" I will leave this open for 7 days and then try to find a day and time that works for as many people as possible.
