Be The Bank: Why Smart Sellers Are Funding Their Own Deals
The hardest part of selling a warehouse right now isn’t finding a buyer. It’s getting the buyer funded.

Tenants would take whatever renewal terms were offered just to avoid losing their space. That […]
Why Small-Bay Industrial Is Outperforming Everything Else
For years, institutional investors ignored small-bay industrial. Too messy. Too management-heavy. Too “mom-and-pop.” Everyone wanted the 200,000+ SF big-box logistics trophy. But in 2024–2025, something flipped. Big-box vacancy started rising. Rents began declining. Concessions began creeping back.
