New Cannabis Real Estate Investment Fund Targeting A 13.1% Annual Return – Brt Realty Trust (BRT), One Liberty Properties (OLP)
The latest offer on CrowdStreet’s Real estate investment platform (see more real estate investment opportunities) is for a fund that provides capital to cannabis operators through sale-leaseback acquisitions and initial mortgage loans backed by existing real estate.
Rainbow Cannabis Fund II is the sponsor’s second cannabis-focused fund. The first fund raised $ 47 million in capital, all of which was deployed in 16 properties as of the second quarter of 2021.
The new fund aims to raise between $ 10 million and $ 25 million and has already focused on real estate including pharmacies, cultivation, distribution and processing centers.
Investment highlights: While investing in a cannabis-related fund may sound like a high risk investment, the fund expects to meet its internal target rate (IRR) without using leverage and without taking the risk associated with debt securities.
The fund also lends 60-80% of the non-cannabis property value, which excludes the value of specific capital improvements tailored to cannabis businesses. This provides a significant amount of equity as protection in the event of a failure.
- Minimum investment: $ 35,000
- Target IRR: 13.1%
- Target equity multiplier: 1.53x
- Target average cash return: 7% – 10%
- Target investment period: 4 – 8 years
