The article from MSN Money discusses Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on the cannabis industry, and its handling of tenant defaults. Despite a recent tenant default by a company called Parallel, which operates under the name Goodblend, IIPR's situation was not as dire as it might have seemed. The default was anticipated due to Parallel's financial struggles, and IIPR had already taken proactive measures. IIPR had secured a $1.5 million letter of credit from Parallel, which was drawn upon when the default occurred. Additionally, IIPR has a diversified tenant base, with no single tenant accounting for more than 14% of its total portfolio, reducing risk. The company also maintains a strong balance sheet with significant liquidity and no debt maturities until 2026, positioning it well to manage such defaults. The article suggests that while tenant defaults are concerning, IIPR's strategic foresight and financial health mitigate the impact, making the situation less severe than initial reactions might suggest.
