Capital in the cannabis industry is not just scarce; it’s a puzzle. 

Have you come across terms like sale-leaseback and triple net lease in press releases and earnings reports yet find yourself questioning their actual mechanics? 

What’s more, the implications for companies opting for these leasebacks might be more surprising than you think. 

And from the perspective of a REIT company, how do they pinpoint opportunities, especially when evaluating location and market potential? 

These insights are valuable for understanding the framework for decision-making, both short and long-term.

This week, we sit down with Anthony Coniglio to discuss the following:

• What are a sale-leaseback and a triple net lease?
• Portfolio diversification, tenant quality, and location choice.
