Weekly Valuation/Underwriting Series for New Entrants
Thinking of ways to make this sub better/ more lively. Would people be down to contribute / would you find interesting a weekly underwriting series where an asset class is chosen, call it small bay industrial and then users would post things they typically look for and why… I.e. 36 ft ceiling heights due to the additional 64in pallet you can fit relative to more common 32 ft heights, cross docking, a truck court depth you might look for (131 ft) and why. People can post how important certain factors are for them and that would give people an idea of other markets and might be interesting to learn more about spaces one may not play in often

Edit: For clarity, I am not suggesting small bay indu is every week. I was thinking a new property type each week.
