Hello everyone,
My name is Connor and I am working under the sponsor that is fundraising for a cannabis real estate opportunity in Whately, MA. Below is a bullet-point summary of the opportunity. We have sourced $24.2m in funding through a construction loan, and as the sponsor, have also absorbed a large number of initial costs as we developed this project to the point of being where it is at now. There is still $15.7m needed and the opportunity is available to accredited investors, internationally, through 62.8 separate $250,000 blocks (which represent the entire $15.7m).
The market is fairly new and taking off in MA, with neighboring states still living in the past when it comes to their consumption laws, lots of customers continue to cross state lines from NY and Connecticut to partake!
The entire breakdown can be found through the website link www.mustangwhately.com under the investor section. There you will find the entire investment summary along with 15 supporting documents.
