well use for water
I have an LOI from a prospective tenant for space in one of my projects. Their operation requires filling water trucks every morning, and they would like to use the property’s irrigation well. I’m concerned that the additional pumping could cause excessive wear, maintenance problems, or reduced well output possibly requiring a new well at significant cost. Has anyone dealt with a tenant using an irrigation well for truck filling? What due diligence, operating limits, cost allocations, insurance requirements, or lease language would you recommend? thanks!

I have not, but you can install a meter on a pump and charge them for usage. Make sure the usage covers wear and tear costs.
Introduction
Hey everyone! I'm Evan. My background is in application engineering, functional design, and hands-on construction. I've also been involved in residential real estate investing and renovations, and I'm now working toward expanding into commercial real estate development, specifically small-bay industrial. I'm currently exploring opportunities in Central Indiana and Iowa, with an interest in developing multi-tenant flex and small-bay spaces that serve local businesses, contractors, and growing communities. Through my experience working at a startup, I've seen firsthand the value small-bay industrial can bring to small businesses and communities, and I want to be part of providing that opportunity. I'm new to the industrial development side of things, so I'm here to learn from those who have been through the process, share ideas, and build relationships. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning from the group!

High Quality - Small Bay Tour
Recently toured a beautiful flex project in Tomball that has a lot of great intangibles. You will see why this one commands some of the higher rates in the area and had a quick lease up timeline. They didnt use your traditional R Panel, instead got creative with different metal sheets and this one came out really well. https://youtu.be/pycn_tX1_0Y?is=OW_dF0XetP63D7PL

Really like the blend of showroom and basic build in the same park. Curious to know what the build cost per SF was and the rent per SF.

Incredible turnout already for our Event in Denver in March. If you somehow have missed the info calls we've had so far, don't miss out on this unique opportunity. Another info call today at 1pm ET. Or you can message Will or I directly and we can hlep fill you in. 25 developers. Interviews required. It's going to be a one of a kind event. Not for beginners. This is not sponsors speaking on stage. This is 25 people workshopping together to improve their systems and processes on every new project they do going forward.

This is going to be an incredible event. If you are currently developing, or have a development in the pipeline, you don't want to miss this one. Here are our objectives for the event: 1. To set a new standard for educational events in the small bay space. This will be the Gold Standard for events moving forward. 2. To deliver 10x ROI. We have all been to conferences and events, and felt disappointed by the content. If you are developing, you will walk away with an improved playbook that will make you a more profitable developer. 3. To provide you with a million dollar network of like-minded developers that are actively developing small bay flex. You will be in a well curated room and will build strong relationships that will continue will after the workshop is over. Reach out to Thad or myself for more information. wS

We are approaching half booked in just two weeks. If you have interest in this event, reach out to @Thaddeus Campbell or myself. So far we have only asked Basecamp members to join, next week we will open it up to non-members. It will fill up quickly.
