3. What is the difference between an agent and a broker?
A real estate broker is a person who has taken education beyond the agent level as required by state laws and has passed a broker's license exam. Brokers can work alone or they can hire agents to work for them. Agents need to work in conjunction with a broker.
4. How do appraisals for cannabis use differ from a normal appraisal?
Although much of the appraisal process is similar for both traditional and cannabis properties, there are some key differences.
The returns earned by landlords and sellers tend to be higher for cannabis businesses. This results in higher appraised values, and ultimately higher sales prices. As with any appraisal of a commercial property, the quality of a tenant will have an impact on the appraisal price. Since the legal cannabis business is relatively new, knowing your tenant and how they impact the appraisal process is an important part of the commercial cannabis real estate process.
5. How is a stock investment different from a property investment?
Cannabis properties are different than stocks since the underlying asset is real estate. This may be more comfortable for the investor, understandable and secure than investing in cannabis stocks which can experience a great deal of volatility. No one type of investment is appropriate for everyone.
A PORTION OF YOUR TAXES MAY BE PAID by you or the former owner AT CLOSING ON YOUR PURCHASE. Once you own the property, the county sends a tax bill each year. In California taxes are usually paid in two semi-annual installments due in December and April of each year.
Yes, the information about property purchase and the terms and conditions of mortgage loans (if any) are recorded among the land records in the jurisdiction where the property is located.
These documents are public. Property records are maintained at either the county courthouse, county recorder, city hall or another city or county department. All property-related records, including property ownership, assessed values, maps, property sales listings, characteristics, and historical Tax Collector information are typically available. Many counties will also maintain records online.
There are a number of factors that play into what price to list your 420 friendly properties for cannabis use. The best place to begin is for us to find comparable properties in your area and understanding what they sold for, when they sold, and the differences between those properties and your own. We compare your property to other properties on the market and pay close attention to lease rates, amenities, and location.
For commercial properties, another factor to consider is the Capitalization Rate (or CAP rate) - This is the rate of return on your property, and takes the annual income of the property and divides it by the amount you invested. For example: If your investment in a property is $1,000,000, and the annual income on the property is $100,000, the CAP rate is 10% ($100,000 divided by $1 million). Individual factors, specific markets and the use of the property will impact what the CAP rate is for your property.
Sadly, not at this time. In most markets we are working, real estate values continue to climb...especially in the markets that are allowing cannabis businesses.
Demand for this special use will increase the value of qualifying properties, the amount of people, and the amount of ways to invest in cannabis.
