Kickstarter Campaign to Fund Cannabis Real Estate Listings Website

A new campaign on Kickstarter has set out to raise $20,000 to fund a cannabis-friendly real estate listings website. Cannabis real estate can be a tricky business. Cities, counties and states all have the potential to set forward regulations regarding zoning of cannabis-related businesses. Often times cannabis zoning laws are so strict that they narrow down potential property for cannabis-related businesses to a very limited and specific area of a city or county.

Other times, landlords are hesitant about renting to cannabis-related businesses with fear of negative legal repercussions. Also, cannabis-related businesses for sale aren’t usually listed in most major real estate websites aside from Craigslist. Green Space Property eliminates some of these obstacles for cannabis businesses by directly connecting willing real estate investors with entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry.

Green Space Property was created by Justin Turcotte from Colorado Springs, Colorado. His biography on the Kickstarter campaign shares that he is in his 30s and has over 20 years of experience as an IT professional. He is an entrepreneur and sees a huge opportunity in the cannabis industry considering the “Green Rush.”

Turcotte explains his inspiration to start his website as part of his campaign. “Green Space Property was born because of my interest in investing into the legal cannabis industry in Colorado,” Turcotte wrote. “During my exhaustive search for property and businesses for sale, I discovered that many real estate companies will not list their cannabis related properties on their corporate sites. Mostly due to the fact that cannabis is still federally legal and because of the stigma still attached to it.”

He also explains that other sites have attempted to solve this problem related to real estate and cannabis businesses, however the problem still exists. He is attempting to raise $20,000 in order to have a website that is a success for the industry. “We need to hire a better developer than myself to help streamline the website and finish coding some of the website,” Turcotte wrote. “I want to start an extensive marketing campaign with the cannabis industry. Starting with my attendance of the Marijuana Business Conference in Las Vegas, NV, in November 2016 . . . From there I will hire a marketing professional to help me spread the word within the industry via social networks and other paid advertising.”

Right now, Green Space Property has not raised any money towards its goal. However, there is a strategic advantage for backing this project. Each person who pledges $200 or more will receive free listing on GreenSpaceProperty.com for one year.
