Business Context and Reporting Period

The reporting period covers the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company owns and operates a portfolio of institutional residential properties, including apartments, build-to-rent communities, and scattered single-family homes, primarily in the Sunbelt and Western United States. As of June 30, 2026, the portfolio consisted of 24 real estate investments representing 5,420 residential units.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Rental and other property revenues increased 20% to $39.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $32.6 million in the prior year. This was driven by the acquisition of 897 units in three residential communities, partially offset by the sale of 319 single-family units.
• NOI Expansion: Net Operating Income increased 20.2% to $20.2 million. The Residential Communities segment saw a 53.5% increase in NOI, while the Scattered Single-Family Homes segment saw a 24.6% decrease, largely due to units intentionally held vacant in preparation for sale.
• Net Loss Increase: Net loss attributable to common stockholders widened to $(6.9) million from $(5.0) million. This was influenced by increased interest expense, higher impairment charges on held-for-sale assets, and the absence of a $1.5 million gain on the sale of a preferred equity investment recorded in the prior year.
• Portfolio Activity: The Company sold 192 scattered single-family units for net proceeds of approximately $33.0 million. It also acquired 40 additional units at Parkside at Summers Corner for $10.3 million.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Markets: The Company terminated its Series A Preferred Stock offering in March 2026 after raising approximately $141.8 million. It is actively issuing Series B Preferred Stock (7.5% dividend rate), having raised approximately $6.9 million as of June 30, 2026.
• Development Pipeline: The Company has significant construction commitments, estimating $107.9 million in remaining costs to complete two consolidated residential communities (Abode Wendell Falls and Harmony at Clear Creek). It also has $8.8 million in remaining commitments for preferred equity investments.
• Debt Maturities: Total mortgage debt is $433.5 million. Significant maturities are scheduled for 2027 ($75.8 million) and 2029 ($85.1 million). The Company has a $50 million revolving credit facility with KeyBank, which had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026.
• Risks: Management highlights risks related to economic volatility, inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical conditions. Specific operational risks include weather-related losses (hailstorms in Q2 2026) and the potential for reduced tenant retention. The Company is also subject to REIT qualification requirements, necessitating the distribution of at least 90% of taxable income.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Refinancing: Verify the status of the ILE credit agreement (CA1) which matured in June 2026 and was subsequently amended to extend to October 2026.
• Construction Costs: Monitor the $107.9 million estimated remaining cost to complete development projects and the Company's ability to fund these via cash, construction loans, or preferred equity.
• Asset Sales Strategy: Review the pace of sales for the "Scattered Single-Family Homes" segment, as intentional vacancies for sale are currently suppressing occupancy and NOI in that segment.
• Preferred Stock Issuance: Track the progress of the Series B Preferred Stock offering to assess capital raising capabilities and dilution impacts.
• Weather Exposure: Assess the final cost of weather-related damages (estimated at $1.5 million total) and insurance recoveries.
