For the Developers in the room...
This is a huge debate on our development projects. PEMB vs Tilt vs Wood Frame construction. Which do you prefer and why?

@Charles Kao Generally, tilt costs 20%-40% more to construct, and is 15%-30% cheaper to insure.

@Shital Thakkar Yes, the cladding fasteners can loosen over time due to repeated thermal expansion and contraction. If they are not periodically inspected and tightened, the panels can become increasingly loose and vulnerable to wind damage. In a wind storm, the cladding can begin to peel away from the building envelope, much like an orange peel.
Monthly Basecamp Networking Call
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.

How Much Upside Should I Leave on a Deal I am Taking to Market?
What's up Small Bay people! I am wrestling with how much I upside/value add I should leave the next guy who buys a property that I am taking to market. I am trying to strike the balance between being greedy and making sure my potential buyers have enough upside to close the deal. I am thinking of selling it at an 8 cap. Current NOI is ~348K, there are a few leases that need to be turned over, 85% of the leases are at market rate. When all leases are brought to market and rent bumps are taken into account year 4 NOI should reach ~417K. Address of the property is 3150 Doolittle Drive, Northbrook, IL Is selling at an 8cap realistic? What are your thoughts?

The following factors should be considered when evaluating the appropriate pricing and marketability of the asset: 1. Reason and urgency for the sale – Your motivation and timeline can materially impact pricing. 2. Profile of the prospective buyer – Consider whether the likely buyer is institutional, private, owner-user, or another investor type. 3. Location and submarket – The asset’s specific location, accessibility, surrounding infrastructure, and market fundamentals. 4. Supply and demand – Current and projected supply, vacancy, absorption, and tenant demand for comparable assets. 5. Comparable transactions – What similar assets are trading for in the relevant submarket, including consideration of price per square foot, cap rate, occupancy, condition, and lease rates. Ultimately, pricing should reflect both the asset-specific fundamentals and the current buyer pool, rather than relying solely on broad market averages. All the best with it!
