"You're talking about the number one creator of wealth and security for people and one of their most important purchases. And like, how is this not in the employee benefits arena?" - Tommy Shumway For the first time ever, a father and son joined the podcast together. Dave and Tommy Shumway, from CityWorth, joined the show to discuss an innovative, yet somewhat obvious, benefit that they've rolled out for employers to offer their employees: down payment assistance.  We spend a lot of time on the show covering new point solutions that employers can use to offer better benefits to their employees, but the idea of helping employee's purchase real estate has yet to come up on the show. Dave and Tommy are able to offer this benefit thanks to their ability to operate in several states and their experience with doing these kinds of transactions many times.  The approach for employers is simple: offer employers help with their downpayment only after they've worked a set number of years at the company. The benefit is hugely beneficial with encouraging employee loyalty, and as Dave and Tommy shared, homeowners live much more stable lives and are much more productive than renters.  Join us this week on Self-Funded with Spencer for a discussion on home ownership as an employee benefit.  Chapters: 00:00:00 Introducing The Shumways 00:07:06 Financial Struggles in Entrepreneurship and Resilience 00:15:04 Cityworth's Unique Approach To Real Estate 00:22:32 Real Estate As An Employee Benefit 00:24:32 Why Owning Real Estate Is So Important 00:28:05 Down Payment Assistance Based On Employee Loyalty 00:34:55 Shared Ownership for Non-Married Roommates 00:45:00 The Future Of Real Estate Key Links for Social: @SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFunded Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02 Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286 Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/ Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/ Key Words:  #StartupChallenges #CityworthBusinessModel #RealEstateIndustry #MortgageEmployeeBenefits #HomeBuyingAssistance #EmployeeRetention #PrivatePortals #HomeownershipBenefits #RealEstateInnovation #RealEstateStrategies #RealEstateServices #EmployeeBenefits #selffunded #podcast Startup Challenges, Cityworth Business Model, Real Estate Industry, Mortgage Employee Benefits, Home Buying Assistance, Employee Retention, Private Portals, Homeownership Benefits, Real Estate Innovation, Real Estate Strategies, Real Estate Services, Employee Benefits, self funded, podcast --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spencer-harlan-smith/support

Host Chad Hughes welcomes Blandon Granger, Supervisor of Real Estate Services for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), to the show. Blandon has been in the energy industry at SMUD for the past seventeen years and supervises asset management and complex acquisitions. He talks with Chad about the impacts of EV charging and urban development on his role. Blandon explains that SMUD has a “very aggressive” zero carbon plan and by 2030 wants all their energy to be from clean sources. He talks about how SMUD approaches that goal by developing themselves as well as partnering with developers with similar goals. Renewable energy and green initiative projects come with their own challenges that Blandon describes for Chad.Chad and Blandon discuss how the real estate development deals are made, how SMUD is a public agency with an elected board of directors, how the green energy shift comes with decarbonization and the impacts of urban and residential growth on how his department operates. EV charging especially has come with its own challenges and Blandon addresses this and more with Chad in this eye-opening interview. “So, you know, a big concern, I think, anywhere is wiping out [agriculture] lands for these solar projects. Agriculture is a big customer for us. I mean, you know, we've got agricultural customers, it's a part of our heritage in the valley here. I don't think SMUD really wants to be going out there and just decimating significant farmlands and so forth. So the thought is you would bring in compatible type of AG uses. So what we've seen so far is mainly grazing. Sheep are great. They don't bother or destroy the facilities.” - Blandon GrangerAbout Blandon Granger:At SMUD, Blandon Granger manages all real estate activities of the nation's sixth-largest publicly owned electric utility. With an annual budget of $1.6 billion, SMUD is a leader in renewable technologies and developing energy projects. Blandon's group provides services for acquisition, management and disposition of all land rights necessary to operate an electrical utility with generation, transmission, distribution, retail, and administrative facilities. Blandon has also served on the City of Roseville Public Utilities Commission since 2012 and is responsible to the city council for recommendations on policies concerning evaluation, operations, and compliance with state and federal rules and regulations relating to the city's utilities within the city limits. Blandon has achieved the International Right of Way Association's (IRWA) Senior Agent (SR/WA) designation and serves on IRWA's International Electric and Utilities Committee and is the past chair of the Asset Management Committee. ---Chad Hughes | CEO, Entrepreneurial Leader, Author: website |linkedinBlandon Granger | Supervisor of Real Estate Services at SMUD: website | linkedin

 Can You Hold An Open House For An Agent From Another Brokerage? - Ep 207   On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club, Jennifer and Jim Camarata talk about “Can You Hold An Open House For An Agent From Another Brokerage?” Jim talks about the code of ethics violation and how it's related to this question! Tune in and find out!   Episode Highlights:  Jim says that you are not allowed to hold open houses for an agent from another brokerage in the state of Minnesota It is part of the code of ethics. 12 dash 5 says “Realtors shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise Real Estate Services or listed property in any medium without disclosing the name of that Realtors firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner, either in the advertisement or any electronic advertising via a link to a display with all required disclosures.” It's misleading to have agents of different brokerages show a house.  Jennifer says it's confusing because you can still advertise a listing from an agent from another brokerage, given that you give the right credits. She exclaims that it makes no sense to have this limitation of cooperation. If we can show another person's listings in multiple ways, how is the open house different? Jim simply says that it's written in the law. The seven-step guide to doing an open house 3 Key Points: Jim says that you are not allowed to hold open houses for an agent from another brokerage in the state of Minnesota. It is part of the code of ethics. It's misleading to have agents of different brokerages show a house.  Realtors are not allowed to advertise real estate services or listed property in any medium without disclosing the name of the realtor's firm.

In this episode of Location Cubed, host Rob Nowak, a Tax Partner with Weaver, sat down with Howard Altshuler, Weaver's Partner-in-Charge of Real Estate Services. The two discussed the impact of the supply chain on the recent spike in residential home prices.Pre-covid, everything was moving along fairly smoothly for the supply chain; however, COVID-19 brought restrictions, lockdowns, and people hoarding things. “It kind of started to gum up the supply chain,” Altshuler said. “Traffic internationally started slowing down, and it's almost like it comes to a stop, and then it takes a while to start up.”According to statistics, if you were to shut down the supply chain for a year, it takes about three to five years to set it back up to full capacity from both a production and logistics standpoint. “That's a lot of what we are dealing with from a standpoint of materials in any type of stuff,” Altshuler said.Not surprisingly, this relates to the recent spike in residential home prices. “Building material prices are way higher if you can get them. That's obviously turning into higher home prices,” Altshuler said. Demand is the second component of this. Months of inventory fell to 1.4 months as active listings remained retracted while demands skyrocket, according to data from A&M's Texas Real Estate Research Center.The two discussed alternatives to homeownership, including the build-to-rent model being a remedy for the home supply shortages and the sustainability of positive growth rates in non-metro areas compared to negative rates for metro areas as remote work persists.

Specialty Cannabis & Prop Tech Real Estate Services w/ Bryan McLaren of Zoned Properties - BRT S04 EP22 (185) 6-4-2023     What We Learned This Week Zoned Properties specializes in Cannabis related Real Estate There is High consumer demand for cannabis, it exists already, do not need to create it Cannabis dispensaries are in the retail asset class of real estate. Also called - Direct to Consumer real estate. Many of the past myths & propaganda about Cannabis on crime and other societal issues were wrong. Property values never went down. Cannabis is a $50-$70 billion projected sales industry, w/ a $200 billion Economic Impact Zoned Properties Tech Division and SaaS software may be the biggest part of the company in the future        Guest: Bryan McLaren, Chairman & CEO of Zoned Properties https://zonedproperties.com/about-zoned-properties/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanmclaren/   Bryan McLaren is Chairman and CEO of publicly traded Zoned Properties (ZDPY). As a certified and licensed realtor, Green Roof Professional,  LEED Green Associate, and former City Sustainability Commissioner, Bryan has navigated state regulatory programs for cannabis commercial real estate in over ten markets for over 100 development projects.  Zoned Properties®, Inc. (OTCQB: ZDPY), a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability services for the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for property acquisitions and revenue growth. They recently announced the market launch of its partnership with dispensary retail franchisor (The Open Dør). Zoned Properties invests in OpenDor with franchise model in cannabis using inspiration from McDonald's as an example & model.   PropTech (or Property Technology) is a term used to define the real estate startups that are offering new innovative technologies and ideas built to re-imagine the core processes and business models of the traditional property management and real estate vertical through digital transformation. Real Estate can become more efficient and scale faster for growth.   Lots of rules and regulations to regular real estate zoning, gets trickier with Sinn type industries – alcohol, cannabis, cigarettes, etc. cannabis business cannot just setup shop anywhere like a Starbucks. Rules dictate cannot put the business near a school, or a church. Legalization has also adjusted what hours the store is open while also stabilizing the overall industry – better tenant with growing business. Cannabis will be a $50 to $100 billion client in commercial real estate in the next few years.     Notes:   Zoned Properties has multiple divisions for real estate services, like rental, investment and techs. They have an investment side where they have purchased properties to rent out. For Cannabis clients they could be both a realtor and a landlord. They do not do commercial loans. They have protections if a renter defaults on their lease. This can include a landlord lien or a UCC on equipment, and 3rd-party proxy rights like bankruptcy receivership as an example.   Cannabis dispensaries are in the retail asset class of real estate. Also called - direct to consumer real estate.   Seg 1   Zoned Properties has been around for 10 years specializing in cannabis properties which is a highly regulated and specialized industry. Cannabis is legal in 38 states. Zoning is very specific on where cannabis can setup shop.   Zoned is a public company with investors. The investor pitch for cannabis is pretty straightforward, as there is high consumer demand for the product.   Real estate is a tangible asset class with a hard value. Zoned only purchases real estate in an industry, with increasing consumer demand.   Bryan has a background in sustainability, and environmental projects and also zoning. The goal of any real estate project is to see how it can help the community prosper.   Legacy in the Cannabis industry is for medicinal demand and cultural use. They do not have to create demand as it exists already. Numerous cannabis studies on the medical side helping people with pain and other elements.   Many of the past myths and propaganda about Cannabis talking about crime and other societal issues were wrong. Property values never went down. Cannabis is a $50-$70 billion project and gross sales over the next decade. Also a $200 billion economic industry impact, along the lines of the alcohol industry. Strong economic value overall.   Seg 2   You always want to determine the highest and best use of the real estate property. An example would be in a good climate area, you would want farmland. In a dense city area it could be apartments or office space. Cannabis dispensaries is in the direct to consumer real estate. You could convert a previous property that might've been a bank or a restaurant into a dispensary.   The commercial real estate industry has a market value of $16 trillion, with 1.5 trillion being industrial use. Cannabis properties that do cultivation or greenhouses are considered industrial.   Different classes of assets in real estate. Cultivation or distribution would be considered industrial while a dispensary is considered retail. Demand previously had outweighed supply and cannabis, but now there is more supply. Storage space needs to be improved.   Office space is on the commercial real estate side. Commercial retail real estate would involve the sale of a product ‘in person' to a consumer at a retail site, or direct to consumer. It's been a commoditization of the industry. Conversion of open real estate to better trends, will raise the value by getting the highest and best use.     Seg 3   Bryan‘s background is in community planning, office and zoning. Like City project to figure out where it's best to put a sports arena, highway access or where would restaurants or schools be located.   Where should a cannabis site go? Cannabis is an emerging industry that is highly regulated and considered specific use in the real estate sector.   Zoned helps clients with site identification, permits and building set up. Zoned Properties also has an investment division that invest and owns properties.   They have a technology division which they call Prop Tech for property technology, to increase efficiency of a property. They can do predictive studies of where the next zoning project will go.   38 states have legalized Cannabis with Kentucky in 2023 and Minnesota soon after. It's been a shift in society since Covid, as less people in the office. So you have to figure out how to convert that real estate.   An example from the past would be Blockbuster. They owned so many stores, who do you sell those buildings to when an industry craters?   Cannabis has premiums on rental rates. Green zone analysis - where can you put a Cannabis store.   Zoned calls it their product re-zone. AI technology at Zoned which can identify properties that could be used for cannabis locations, and have the best coding.   SUP or special use permit to change zoning. An area might need to be rezoned to see to zoning for cannabis.   The biggest value loss in trying to get a property is time. Because of regulations it takes longer in Cannabis to get permits, upwards of 6 to 9 months. That is a long holding period for investors and entrepreneurs.   Seg 4   Zoned Properties is public company for eight years now, corporation, stock ticker ZDPY. They are non-plant touching company, ancillary company to Cannabis. They do not own any Cannabis businesses or take profits from any Cannabis ventures. Zoned gets fees from providing real estate or advisory services or rental revenue.   Chief legal attorney is Dan Gauthier who handles contracts and regulations as well as national brokerage.   National cannabis event takes place in Las Vegas. There's a big barrier to entry in cannabis with all the regulations and investment needed.   Four divisions of Zoned Properties are: property tech, advisory, services like brokerage, and investment   Currently they have 5 state offices with expansion of 5 more. Investors want upside so they like the cannabis industry, and getting in early. Cannabis is in a consolidation phrase, lots of M&A the last 5 years.   Risk mitigation that Zoned provides is they have the tangible assets of the real estate. This gives downside protection to investors. Equipment and real estate are the best security and collateral for loans.   Biggest opportunity in Cannabis - follow the trends of consumers. The tech side could be the biggest opportunity for Zoned Properties. Working on a SaaS or DasS product. $200 billion of economic impact.       Real Estate Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Real+Estate-Construction-Land-Farming   Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/investing More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of     Thanks for Listening.

The trend of converting commercial buildings, including offices, into residential buildings has been around for some time. However, with the increase in remote work, many home offices are replacing commercial office spaces as places to work. About 998 million square feet of office real estate across the United States is available but in search of tenants. In some cases, innovators are transforming office space that is not being used for its intended purpose into apartments and other residential spaces. But is this conversion sustainable? Does the estimated profit match the high cost of conversion?On today's episode of the Location Cubed podcast, Aaron Grisz, CPA, Real Estate Tax Partner at Weaver, speaks with Howard Altshuler, Partner-in-Charge of Real Estate Services at Weaver, to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the conversion from commercial to residential buildings.. Aaron Grisz and Howard Altshuler discussed:1. The recent increase in the conversion of commercial buildings to residential ones2. Whether the cost of conversion is worth the benefit3. The role for local govenments4. What the future holds for this type of activity“Commercial to residential renovations are not a new concept in the real estate industry. Renovating these buildings can be expensive, and the process is usually taken on by companies looking to make a statement or create a unique property. Housing will always remain a need, but the major challenge will be financing. However, the government can play a crucial role in financing these projects,” explained Altshuler.Aaron Grisz, CPA, has more than ten years of public accounting experience providing proactive tax consulting and planning services to businesses across multiple industries with a concentration in real estate, manufacturing, and distribution.

The U.S. is starting to see a shift in its population numbers, with some states seeing drops as the population in other states increases. Texas is among several states that has seen a rise in population growth. This is creating some concerns at the state and other levels.How has population growth impacted the economy of Texas?In this episode of Location Cubed, hosts Howard Altshuler, Partner-in-Charge, Real Estate Services and Partner at Weaver, and Rob Nowak, Partner tax services, talked about how recent population and demographic changes are affecting real estate and other parts of the Texas economy.Altshuler and Nowak talked about …1. Why some states are losing population2. Where new migrants and transplants are going3. How it's affecting housing markets, specifically among potential young buyers“Generally, in California, Illinois, and New York, housing prices have historically been higher. So people are selling their house and coming to Texas and thinking, ‘Wow. I can buy a lot more… this is a great deal!” That's driving up prices. But, unfortunately, what you end up with is people coming in and buying up houses that are maybe closer in. This drives up prices in what, from an affordability standpoint, you would call second ring neighborhoods. For younger potential buyers, a market that has been tight to begin with nationally is getting even crazier,” said Altshuler.

There are labor shortages in a variety of industries—especially manufacturing. The National Association of Manufacturers predicts there may be a gap of 2.1 million workers amounting to one trillion dollars by 2030. Clearly, something is stirring in the manufacturing industry economy. But what is the forecast for the immediate future?On today's episode of Location3, a Weaver: Beyond the Numbers podcast, Hosts Howard Altshuler, Partner-in-Charge of Real Estate Services, and Rob Nowak, Partner in Tax Services at Weaver, are joined by partners Colby Horn, Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver and Jody Allred, Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver, to talk about their new podcast launch and trends impacting warehouse space and leasing.Altshuler, Nowak, Horn, and Allred also talked about…1. Horn and Allred's impending launch of the On the Shop Floor manufacturing podcast series 2. Vacancies increased in the second half of 2022, indicating a softening in the leasing market3. The outlook for the manufacturing market's economy in 2023 Horn explained why warehousing space was at a premium due to the pandemic. “Obviously, during COVID, people weren't able to attend concerts, sports events and other activities. Their spending shifted to more to tangible things like buying clothes or furniture. That switch definitely created stress on the supply chain. It's been forcing a lot of our clients or people in our industry to over purchase, and with that over purchasing, warehouse space is at a premium.” However, that premium is eroding with vacancies up across the warehouse leasing market.The slowdown in activity is not affecting the market at the same rate or velocity. Allred provided some projections on what is in store for the manufacturing economy based on recent surveys. “I think what we're seeing depends on geography, it depends on what industry within manufacturing distribution retail you're in.”What the market is really telling us is that uncertainty has returned and we all hope for a soft landing recession but need to continue contingency planning that will allow for nimble market response.Colby Horn is Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver and has more than 17 years of experience in auditing, accounting, and consulting. Colby's practice emphasis has been focused on providing financial statement attestation for both non-public and public clients, employee benefit plan audits, as well as advising clients in all aspects of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and due diligence activities.

What does the future of office value look like in a post-pandemic world where remote work will likely continue in a large capacity, certainly more than before the pandemic? Howard Altshuler, Partner-in-Charge, Real Estate Services at Weaver, recently read an article that put the number at five hundred billion or more of future office space value erosion. He spoke with Rob Nowak, Tax Partner of Real Estate for Weaver, to dispel the myths and try to get to the bottom of what return to office looks like today and down the road.Altschuler falls on the side of believing widespread stay-at-home work will not continue to expand as the world enters its post-COVID phase. “I'm also a big believer in business creation and the ultimate need for space,” Altshuler added. “I also understand the need for more space per person in any given spot. Therefore, as they say, my death has been greatly exaggerated.” Altshuler believes the forecasting of such office value erosion is too extreme.Playing devil's advocate, Nowak wondered how the recent rise in gas prices, which play a considerable role in commuting costs, would affect return-to-office decision-making, at least in the short term. Could it be something employees might insist on, requiring employers to offer flexible in-office / work-from-home schedules?Altschuler held firm that workers who typically need to come into the office weren't ones whose positions could work with a flex schedule of the sort Nowak mentioned. “I think the people working from home (currently) are probably in a spot where the higher gas prices hurt, but not that big of an issue on their decision making,” Altschuler said.Some motivating factors bringing folks back into the office and away from their work-at-home gigs are the contacts and social interactions they've missed over the past couple of years. “There's always going to be people who are super comfortable working at home, and that's fine,” Altschuler said. “When you're younger, and you're starting, think about how difficult it would have been to start out and work remotely. I'm so proud of the people who started working at our firm at the beginning of the pandemic and had to deal with starting the job remotely.” It's quite a challenge to learn a new industry when one does not have the benefit of working alongside a mentor. And building those personal relationships in the office again will make a difference for those beginning their professional careers.

Check it out below: Bryan McLaren  00:00 In those more mature markets, you're really dealing with competitive edge, oversaturation, the boom and the bust of cannabis legalization, or any new industry. It's a gold rush. So in new state markets that have recently legalized, that patience and persistence is crucial. And what I mean by that is very localized at the community level. Of course, you want to bring brain trust experts into your team that can help guide you. So a really good compliance attorney, a very good land use attorney, very good financial analyst. So those are all really important for the business. But when it comes to the real estate, it's the relationship with the local community.    Intro  00:40 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we will teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson  00:51 Brian McLaren is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties, a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability services for the regulated cannabis industry. Bryan, welcome to the show.    Bryan McLaren  01:05 Hey, thanks, Sam. Appreciate you having us on here.   Sam Wilson  01:07 The pleasure's mine. Same three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show. In 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start, where are you now, and how did you get there?   Bryan McLaren  01:14 Yeah, that's the meat of it, isn't it? So Zoned Properties. We're a commercial real estate development firm based out of Scottsdale Arizona, we are focused on highly regulated and complex commercial real estate investments, development, and services. So we're very focused on the regulated cannabis space. And almost 10 years ago, we got into this space as a commercial investor. So we raised some private capital, saw that the cannabis industry across the United States and the world was starting to turn on, and decided to go after a few initial investment properties for development and leasing to cannabis operators. And needless to say, we've learned a lot of lessons over the past decade, we've made every mistake in the book, you know, and we like to describe it as a labyrinth. So you're kind of navigating this constantly changing and nebulous territory. So we started out really as positioning to become a REIT, a REIT for the cannabis industry, a real estate investment trust, I'm sure most of your audience is familiar with those, and it was probably just a little too early. This was back in kind of 2014 era, a little bit too early for probably the tax and federal circumstances to allow a full-on cannabis rate, though there are many today some really successful ones. So we went a different route, we decided to build a full spectrum of real estate services, as we learn the best practices and mistakes to provide national help and expertise for anyone looking to invest and develop a cannabis project. And that's where we are today. We work nationally in many states, and if you're looking at a cannabis real estate project, it's pretty helpful to have someone that's been through it.   Sam Wilson  03:02 So are you guys actually doing the building or are you more of a consultant?   Bryan McLaren  03:09 Great question. So the construction and direct building is pretty much one of the only things we don't do. So our typical approach for clients, so we have kind of three prongs, three buckets to our company, which just about every real estate project in cannabis is going to need, you're going to need a brain trust. So we have a Consulting and Advisory Service division where we help walk and talk and lead clients through the process. Complex real estate, cannabis isn't the only area that's complex, right big commercials complex all the time. So you got to go through the zoning and planning process, you have to get all your permits, you have to work with design professionals, build, bring the capital. And so our advisory division really helps clients go through that process specific to the nuance of cannabis. We have a fully licensed brokerage firm that helps through the transactional side. And then we have an investment firm that helps either provide direct investment and capital for projects, or we connect project teams to investment capital that's cannabis-friendly. We do not do the direct design, development and construction. So we bring in our own brain trust for our clients to do that work.   Sam Wilson  04:22 Got it. That's really, really intriguing. It's a nuanced business. I mean, you guys went through multiple iterations at what point in time did you know, “Hey, I'm on to something here.”   Bryan McLaren  04:32 It really was the, you know, I think all great business stories. It's the absence of something in the marketplace. I love the phrase “go where others won't or can't,” right. And while mainstream cannabis is gaining momentum, the vast majority of Americans for recent polling numbers support the full legalization of cannabis. But because this is still federally illegal and each state, not just each state has a unique cannabis program, the 40,000 or so localities, you know, the cities, towns and counties, they all have their own structures, right. So I think when we knew we were really on to something, Sam, you know, you're everything you think of in a commercial real estate project, you call a big brokerage house you call a Title and Escrow Company, a land-use attorney, you called debt and capital financing. You would call these people even two, three years ago. And if they didn't kind of laugh at first about cannabis, they would say, you know, there's no way we can work on this. It's federally illegal. So we just found that tremendous need in the marketplace, everyone we talked to that was working on their own projects, were having the same experience. And we had a choice, we can either kind of try to continue down the large public company, you know, REIT model and try and become a bank for cannabis, which wasn't our core competency. At the core, our leadership and team members are operators and real estate developers. So we chose to go the services route. And we, everyone we talked to needed help finding a broker, needed help navigating kind of the roadmap of cannabis. So yeah, and to this day, it's very promising that I'd say within the last six months, you're starting to see mainstream brokers, title companies, land use attorneys, a lot of traditional professionals have now worked on cannabis. So it's moving in that direction.   Sam Wilson  06:39 What effect do you think that will have on the cannabis space?   Bryan McLaren  06:44 Yeah, mainstream professionals, I think we're going to see a lot less risk. And we're talking years, you know, it's not just going to be a couple months, even if the federal government legalizes and for the audience at the crux of this is the fact that cannabis which includes both hemp and marijuana, so separate kind of pass of the tree here in the plant, are still considered illegal as a controlled substance at the federal level. Now, the Farm Bill of 2018, legalized hemp, right, but THC and cannabinoids under the marijuana plant within cannabis still remain a scheduled illegal drug. So even if the federal government decides to legalize and de-schedule cannabis, you're still going to have years of the regulatory rollout. So the effect is that I mean, we're a community-based company. That's what this comes down to it. It's all community-centric, you have to go into your local government, you got to work with your local planners, hey, we're building a cannabis project. We're not criminals, we're your neighbors. The history of propaganda on the war on drugs and fear is still very real. So having mainstream professionals, very reputable firms have good reputations and trust within the community, it's huge, Sam, it's, you know, in the early years, I would go up to city councils and try and provide data that showed the property values would go up, right economic prosperity factors like job growth, property taxes, real estate value, all that would increase prosperity in the community. But it's one thing coming from, you know, passionate, experienced cannabis professional. It's another coming from a mainstream land use law firm or the largest, you know, real estate brokerage firm in the state. So that adds really good credibility that this is an amazing industry for our communities.   Sam Wilson  08:42 It seems you know, when you talk about the solving the problems everyone is facing, because that's kind of what it sound like your business was based upon. We'll call everyone, we'll just use the term everybody's out there going, Oh, my gosh, we don't know how to overcome this. How did you guys figure out ways to overcome all of those, like you said, highly nuanced state, county, city, you know, township, whatever it is ordinances and rules. I mean, that's just a labyrinth, to use your word. How did you figure that out?   Bryan McLaren  09:12 It sounds simple, what I'm gonna say, but it's, I think, for any entrepreneur out there, they know how tough this is, but accepting uncertainty. So it's an industry that's constantly evolving. You may have, you know, Mississippi is a great example of a state, kind of near your neck of the woods, Sam. I mean, the voters put legalizing cannabis on the voter ballot and passed. And then there was a constitutional state, you know, confliction and nuance that reversed the voter decision. And so for the past few years now, the legislature has said, Okay, well, we want to honor the will of the voters. So we need to figure this out. And very recently, Mississippi passed and affirmed the legalization, but, you know, that took years So, like in any big commercial real estate project, you know, I think a lot of people in our industry here and investing and developing commercial real estate, you got to be, you know, okay with a little risk. And in an industry as complex as cannabis, you have to be okay with uncertainty. So being very nimble, it's our business, we tend to run pretty conservatively and risk-averse, which is a little bit of a, you know, it's ironic based on what I just said, but you can't bet the farm on a single certainty, which could change unexpectedly. So for anyone getting in cannabis, whether you're looking to invest in cannabis-related real estate, or develop your own project, understand that there is incredible volatility in the laws and regulations and building codes and permitting that allow you to or your tenant or your operator or your borrower to operate and succeed so that, you got to just embrace the uncertainty. And we like to say we follow the flow of the river so…   Sam Wilson  10:59 That's crazy. But I mean, you know, I'm going back to my commodities trading days, and it was like your money is made in times of volatility. And, you know, for those who are willing to accept that risk, you know, that's where your paydays lie. Do you see? Yeah, it's become more mainstream, in the de-risking, potentially, of the investment space, a, compression of the return profiles, and just kind of less money on the table for those entering the space later on in those starting now.   Bryan McLaren  11:27 Yeah, absolutely. Sam. And as I said, In the beginning, you know, you kind of go where others won't, and can't, you know, amazing phrase I'm stealing from many entrepreneurs, you're borrowing rather. But yeah, for context for the audience, I mean, so here's the big thing with cannabis real estate projects from an investment and financial return, because of that risk in the projects, and because of the lack of available capital, the returns and the cap rates and the interest rates are at a significant premium. So, you know, four or five years ago, if you were going to try and borrow 2 million, 5 million, let alone 10 million-plus to go build your own project, you were likely going to pay 16, 17, 18% interest rates on that commercial debt on a good deal. Today, the large real estate investment trusts that have entered the space public and private, that are dedicated to cannabis projects, they offer a range between 11 and 16% on a sale-leaseback cap rate. So it's, you know, incredibly important that these REITs have entered the cannabis industry. Without them, there would be a fraction of the real estate development that has occurred to allow the cannabis industry to grow into the, you know, close moving into 100 billion plus economic impact industry. Our best guess at the current time is the cannabis industry will need about 50 to 75 billion worth of commercial real estate capital to meet its needs in the next few years, likely doubled out over the next decade. And so these REITs are really the only game in town now that is changing as of the past three to six months, there are more and more state and local banks that are entering the space. We've seen term sheets on smaller real estate deals in the five to 7% debt interest rate, so it is absolutely compressing. But any investor in your audience really needs to understand is that just because those numbers are starting to look attractive, that doesn't translate into investment return unless the project's successful. So yeah, we really view ourselves Sam as kind of playing in the same sandbox as those rates in those banks. We are a brain trust for their clients and for them directly and a risk hedge. So we are the group that's going to go in on behalf of the project on behalf of the client. Make sure the vetting of that real estate, the zoning, the permitting, that all their submittals are accurate, and that they're not going to get a letter from the state's marijuana division, saying, “Hey, your permit is invalid, you need to cease operations tomorrow,” which happens and that's certainly not what a landlord or investor wants to hear, you know, when they put millions into a project.   Sam Wilson  14:21 For sure. What are you guys doing? I mean, if you go into say, Mississippi, and they've now well legalized it, but then you've still got all those kind of like you said local hurdles to get over as well. How do you navigate that? I know you said accept uncertainty is the is the primary thing you're gonna have to do. But I mean, there's strategic things you're doing that'll navigate that. What does that look like?   Bryan McLaren  14:43 I think on that same, it's a combination of patience and persistence. So really, especially when you go into new state markets, which are very different from mature or maturing markets, like a Colorado or Washington or Oregon, in those more mature markets, you're really just dealing with competitive edge oversaturation, the boom and the bust of cannabis legalization or any new industry, it's a gold rush. So in new state markets that have recently legalized, that patience and persistence is crucial. And what I mean by that is very localized at the community level, of course, you want to bring brain trust experts into your team that can help guide you. So a really good compliance attorney, a very good land use attorney, very good financial analyst. So those are all really important for the business. But when it comes to the real estate, it's the relationship with the local community. So you got to be very sensitive of this is a new industry that for the past 100 years, people have been told, you know, the devil's lettuce is gonna cause people to go crazy and run in the streets and property values are going to plummet. And it's a gateway drug, you know, but we now have enough cannabis industry evidence across this country we're at now I think it's 37, soon to be 39 states have medical and or adult use programs. Recent polling shows high 80%, 86, 87% of the American electorate supports legalization. But that doesn't necessarily mean it translates at the local level. There's still that fear that if a cannabis grow site, or or dispensary retail site opens up in my neighborhood, you know, we're going to have increase in opioid epidemic or property values will plummet. So it's what we try to really do at that local level is educate community members. Here's fact-based evidence from the past decade of real estate programs that show almost always the opposite, decrease in violent crime, increase in value increase in economic growth, and do it patiently but persistently.   Sam Wilson  16:51 Yeah, and that's a very, very long game, I would imagine.   Bryan McLaren  16:55 It is, we know real estate's a long game, right. So it's, I think, for those investors that have been standing on the sideline, which also is very appropriate, you know, we talk with lots of non-cannabis mainstream REITs, you know, multibillion-dollar grocery-anchored commercial strip center REITs that are basically leaning across the line saying, okay, there we go yet, you know, they're preparing and they're playing 100-year game, you know, you're not playing a year game.   Sam Wilson  17:26 Right, yeah, because what I hear you saying when you say those large grocery store anchored, you know, centers is that those REITs are not yet accepting the tenants to be, you know, correct, the right term, but basically, it's where they can then sell the product, they're out, you know, out of their strip centers.   Bryan McLaren  17:42 Right, and that's part of the nuance, I'll keep this brief. I know, I've just been chatting your ear off here, Sam. But servicing commercial real estate is a whole other side of the equation. So much of what we've discussed so far is kind of a standalone real estate cannabis project, getting approvals and successfully delivering the project. On the retail side, the adoption of cannabis use as tendency of these large commercial strip centers, you know, or even more nuanced, like imagine an airport terminal having, you know, cannabis for sale like alcohol, I think the servicing of those projects, and when I say servicing, I mean servicing insurance or collecting rent roll or debt on large commercial. Those are all nuances that almost all of those traditional real estate contracts, say no federally illegal activity, right. And so, you know, you have a $300 million strip center with a movie theater and large department stores, you know, that even if that cannabis retail, you know, tenant says I'll pay 10 times your average rent rate, it's probably pretty minimal compared to the overall cash flow of the project. So that's the hurdle. We're gonna see a lot of mainstream adoption, when that changes, it's going to take time, but those are the kind of windfalls that will come from federal banking reform. Interestingly, the MBA the Mortgage Bankers Association, for the first time ever last year, we put together a cannabis panel. And fascinating one of the people we had on the panel was a large-scale portfolio servicer. And they said in real-time, as of this is about a year ago, virtual, you know, mid pandemic lockdown, but they were dealing with this firsthand, the insurance underwriters were saying, this might void your insurance policy for this whole project, you know, how do we collect rent and deposit into FDIC bank when, you know, the rent rolls from a federally illegal activity? So it's, you know, there's huge opportunity because there's huge complexity, as you said.   Sam Wilson  19:48 Love it. We are out of time here, but I've got one last question and maybe there's a quick way to answer this. Do you see a decoupling of the business itself from the real estate in order to kind of mitigate risk?   Bryan McLaren  20:02 Yeah. So in the cannabis industry, especially when it comes to capital and public companies, so its own properties as a public company, we've been fully audited and SEC reporting now for six years. So we know how to navigate that federal level of compliance and regulation. What's really important in your question, Sam, is what's called ancillary versus non-ancillary or in layman's terms, is the company plant-touching or not? So whether it's a real estate company, as long as you don't have ownership in the operation in the tenancy, it's not a related party, you're not taking up percent base rent from sales, then what we've seen so far, overwhelmingly, and I'm not aware of a single case, I can think of nationally right now where the real estate investor or real estate was jeopardized, as long as it stayed non-plant-touching, so, and that's, you know, if you're selling lights to grow, if you're selling insurance. As of 2022, those ancillary non-plant-touching service providers are considered to be operating within a legal and compliant manner, right.   Sam Wilson  21:10 Right, understood.   Bryan McLaren  21:12 History will tell the story, right?    Sam Wilson  21:14 Indeed it will, Brian, thank you for taking the time to come on today.
