Even in 2021, state-approved cannabis companies still face adversity and prejudice! If only there was somebody to give them a much-needed financial backing… Somebody like John A. Travis and his Freehold Properties!

Cannabis-related properties have always been in a tricky position. On one hand, there’s indisputably high demand. On the other, issues with legality and a general narrow-mindedness.

Even legal, state-approved cannabis companies and properties have suffered at the hands of this cultural stigma. Such businesses require stable support and a partner they can rely on.

In comes John Travis with his idea to create a company which would finance such businesses and contribute to a mutual reaping of benefits!

Freehold Properties is precisely that - a real estate investment company dedicated to the funding of cannabis-related facilities and pharmacies!

By strategically choosing their partners, Freehold Properties aims to equally help both prestigious businesses and prosperous startups!

Their story is a fascinating one to tell!

The Making of a Leader With Integrity

Born and raised in the USA, John A. Travis had always known that the world of practically-implemented science was the one to bring him prosperity.

His early years saw him grapple with his widespread ambitions. Encompassed by a strong interest in electrical and nuclear engineering, John was no ordinary person.

John’s relentless drive to form lucrative and meaningful business deals with a fruitful future without losing sight of his morals led John to do amazing things.

How does a person successfully integrate all these desires?

Well, mainly, by sticking to them! And that’s precisely what John did! He made it a priority to unite his childhood dreams with his teenage ambitions, evolving into an adult respecting stability.

And not just for himself; like a true father figure, John wanted to position himself as a provider to those in need, but also a strict leader with integrity and high expectations.

John’s ultimate desire was to better himself by raising other people - and businesses - up. To serve as an example and an inspiration, as well as a motivation to those who waver. To show that, if determined, you can be a scientist, an entrepreneur, and a beloved boss - all in one!

The Diversity of Life

One of the first significant ventures - and there are quite a few - in John’s life was to work as a nuclear reactor operator for the US Navy. For the six years that he worked there, John flew through positions as if cutting through butter. First a nuclear prototype instructor, then an operator, a master specialist, and, finally, a first-class technician, John had done it all!

Following this life-changing period, he got his Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Thomas Edison State College. However, simply studying was not enough for our champion!

Simultaneously, John worked as a field service engineer for Russelectric Inc., which inspired him to start his first independent business.

Control Power Concepts was founded in 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is, an already reputable firm dedicated to the support of engineering and bulk electric power systems. John has been standing as its president for 15 years, making a name for himself as a reliable CEO and businessman.

During this time, John’s ambitious nature prevented him from sitting still. Restless John managed to distinguish himself not only through his main job position but through a series of side projects, too.

John was an agent for a number of multi-billion-dollar casino resorts in Macau but was also a volunteer (and an advisory board member) for several associations, such as Waldorf Astoria, Mandarin Oriental, CPC Inc., and Green Our Planet. It was here that he first became acquainted with the state of the cannabis industry.

13 years into the life of Control Power Concepts, around 2019, John, who had already had more than 30 years of experience under his belt, made the decision to start a new business.

This time, it was going to focus on a rather underrepresented branch of the business market - the cannabis industry, which luckily enough, John had had a previous chance to explore.

Lending a Hand to Those With Potential

Freehold Properties, Inc. was formed in 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the intent to figure as a private, real estate company. John’s company was committed to providing investment and financial support to legal and state-approved cannabis-related companies and properties.

Whether these properties include facilities for cultivating and/or processing cannabis or are closer to pharmacies, Freehold Properties is always there to evaluate their potential. Also, if convinced of their quality, Freehold Properties would offer a deal consisting of financial support and real estate backing, in return for long-term mutual profit.

Freehold Properties is an investment trust and its various services include leasing, acquisition, and ownership of cannabis-related industrial properties.

Of course, the first prerequisite of these companies would be for them to be legal, dedicated to their craft, and morally driven - just like John himself.

Not to be forgotten, Freehold Properties cares for the future of America, for both its youth (as budding individuals) and its developing business landscape.

The cannabis industry might have suffered in the past, but right now, it is an image of the future. As such, it will be lent a hand, but only on the condition that it has something worthwhile to offer in return.

Thus, with the launching of the company, Freehold Properties made its first business deal on August 26th 2019, which included the purchase of 6 properties from Curaleaf Holdings for a whopping sum of $28.3 million.

Nothing like a good partner to seal the deal! This was just the first partnership, announcing many more to come!

The Business As It Is Today

Nowadays, the reputation of Freehold Properties Inc. has exponentially grown. It has already become a fearsome rival to other businesses in the cannabis-real estate-support market. Some of Freehold Properties’ includes competitors such as Archon Commercial Advisors, Avalon Realty Advisors, and HendersonCRE.

Nevertheless, Freehold Properties is still actively looking for potential partnerships, and it’s a completely understandable action. A company with such high standards as Freehold Properties - perfectly mirroring the personal standards and integrity of John Travis - would not just accept a deal with just any industrial business.

If you offer quality investment and you pride yourself on supporting those in need, the least you can expect is to be reciprocated, in terms of the high-quality process of production, manufacturing, and retail/dispensing. In order for Freehold Properties to grow as a company, it can only be satisfied by the partnership of cannabis properties which are just as ambitious.

The headquarters of Freehold Properties Inc. is currently stationed in Nashville, Tennessee. It functions as a privately held real estate company and has a total of 8 employees.

So far Freehold Properties has made six business deals, two in Florida, two in Massachusetts, and two in New Jersey. The ones in Florida include a 5,620 square feet dispensary in Daytona Beach, and a 10,311 square feet dispensary in Fort Pierce.

Those in Massachusetts are a 2,700 square feet dispensary in Provincetown and a 103,659 square feet cultivation and production facility in Webster.

The business deals in New Jersey cover a 9,571 square feet facility for cultivation, production, and dispensing in Bellmawr-Creek. Also, there is a 42,433 square feet facility for cultivation, production, and dispensing in Bellmawr-Harding.

Perfectly reflecting the resolution, ambition, and stability of John A. Travis, Freehold Properties Inc. has managed to prove that it has the capability to slowly, but surely, become a respectable figure on the real estate, cannabis-backing market.

By focusing on an up-and-coming branch of the US industry, it will prove that a person - and a company - can be as many things as they want at the same time.

Having a firm resolution and lending a hand to those in need always works like a charm!
