Often these projects can be located anywhere, and operators are looking to open wherever they can often at a very limited capacity with slow processing by regulating bodies.

The Fund's focus is investing in real estate and cannabis business assets. It will make equity investments in these businesses directly and may have some managerial oversight, but plans to find operational partners to work with for the day to day operations.This uniquely positions the Fund to capitalize on this emerging industry by servicing the real estate needs of the business operators. The business model is real estate ownership utilizing the Sponsor's real estate expertise and comprehensive understanding of the hemp and cannabis industry to secure the most critical need of the business operators by providing them optimal turnkey solutions simultaneously unlocking liquidity for their business operations.

Invest in Opportunity Zones

Introduced by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, Opportunity Zones are census tracts designated by state governments based on their lower income demographics. The Program was created to incentivize investment within these communities by providing material tax benefits to U.S. investors who re-invest any form of capital gains into Opportunity Zone Funds. Investing in qualified Opportunity Zone Funds allow U.S. investors to (1) defer taxes on the original capital gain until the end of 2026, (2) reduce the amount of deferred taxes owed by up to 15%, and (3) eliminate tax on capital gains from the re-investment if held for 10 years. The Fund, in turn, must invest in qualified real estate or businesses within the opportunity zone.
