Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management views the macro-economic environment as favorable for rental housing due to high mortgage rates and low inventory of existing homes. The Company continues to focus on acquiring communities that yield in excess of the cost of funds and investing in physical improvements, specifically adding rental homes to vacant sites.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Debt Covenants: Verify compliance with financial covenants in the Series A and Series B Bond deeds of trust, particularly regarding debt-to-NOI and debt-to-equity ratios.
- Unrealized Losses: Assess the impact of the $40.3 million unrealized loss in the REIT securities portfolio on liquidity and potential future impairment charges.
- Acquisition Integration: Monitor the performance and occupancy ramp-up of the two New Jersey communities acquired in March 2025 and the two Maryland communities acquired in July 2025.
- ATM Program Capacity: Confirm remaining capacity under the Common Stock ($49.4 million) and Preferred Stock ($100 million) ATM programs for future capital raises.
- Interest Rate Exposure: Review the weighted average interest rate on total debt (4.6%) and the impact of the new Series B Bonds (5.85%) on future interest expense.
