You would like me to consider a Real Estate REIT?
Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. is the pioneering real estate investment trust for the medical-use cannabis industry. Founded in December, 2016, we are the first publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IIPR) to provide real estate capital to the medical-use cannabis industry.
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a corporation that combines the capital of many investors to acquire income producing real estate. As a public company traded on the NYSE, we are uniquely positioned in the industry to access public capital markets. As a REIT, one of our most attractive attributes is that we must distribute through a dividend to our stockholders at least 90 percent of our taxable income. Innovative Industrial Properties has paid consecutive quarterly dividends to our common stockholders since the second quarter of 2017. (Dividend History)
We focus on purchasing specialized industrial real estate assets for the regulated medical-use cannabis industry.
We believe that our sale-leaseback and other real estate solutions offer an attractive alternative to state-licensed medical-cannabis operators who have limited access to traditional financing alternatives. We have acquired and intend to continue to acquire medical-use cannabis facilities in states that permit medical-use cannabis operations.
And why is that?
Should I include ...
Testing facilities
Delivery companies
I'll leave that up to someone else. I focus on individual vertically integrated companies in the Cannabis space. Mostly MSOs.
