NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on December 16, 2021. The Company owns and operates a portfolio of institutional residential properties including single-family homes, build-to-rent communities, and other residential communities located in attractive markets with a focus on the knowledge-economy and high-quality of life growth markets of the Sunbelt and Western United States. The Company’s principal objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on investments where it believes it can drive growth in funds from operations and net asset value by acquiring residential units, developing residential communities, and through Value-Add renovations. The Company’s Value-Add strategy focuses on repositioning lower-quality, less current assets to drive rent growth and expand margins to increase net operating income and maximize the Company’s return on investment.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company held twenty-two real estate investments, consisting of seventeen consolidated investments and five preferred equity investments. The twenty-two investments represent an aggregate of 5,282 residential units, comprised of 4,170 consolidated units, of which 358 units are under development, and 1,112 units through preferred equity investments, which includes planned units and those under development. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 91.8% occupied; excluding units classified as held for sale and down/renovation units, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 93.7% occupied.

The Company has elected to be treated, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to corporate-level income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the Company’s stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and it would not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following the year in which it lost its qualification. The Company intends to continue to organize and operate in such a manner as to remain qualified as a REIT.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2025 for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to these policies. 10

Table of Contents Consolidated Investments in Real Estate, Preferred Equity Investments, Notes Receivable and Unconsolidated Funds

The Company first analyzes an investment to determine if it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810: Consolidation and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation of the entity. A VIE is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests in a VIE that change in value with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company continuously re-assesses at each level of the investment whether (i) the entity is a VIE, and (ii) the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it was determined that an entity in which the Company holds an interest qualified as a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary, the entity would be consolidated.

If, after consideration of the VIE accounting literature, the Company has determined that an entity is not a VIE, the Company assesses the need for consolidation under all other provisions of ASC 810. These provisions provide for consolidation of majority-owned entities through a majority voting interest held by the Company providing control.

In assessing whether the Company is in control of and requiring consolidation of the limited liability company and partnership venture structures, the Company evaluates the respective rights and privileges afforded each member or partner (collectively referred to as “member”). The Company’s member would not be deemed to control the entity if any of the other members has either (i) substantive kickout rights providing the ability to dissolve (liquidate) the entity or otherwise remove the managing member or general partner without cause, or (ii) substantive participating rights in the entity. Substantive participating rights (whether granted by contract or law) provide for the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions of the entity that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.

The Company analyzes each investment that involves real estate acquisition, development, and construction to consider whether the investment qualifies as an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, and construction arrangement. The Company has evaluated its real estate investments as required by ASC 310-10 Receivables and concluded that no investments are considered an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, or construction arrangement. As such, the Company next evaluates if these investments are considered a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities.

For investments that meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, the Company classifies each investment as an available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt security as it does not have the positive intent to hold all investments to maturity. The Company accounts for these investments as preferred equity investments on its consolidated balance sheets, and it earns a fixed return on these investments which is included within income from preferred equity investments on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. AFS debt securities are carried at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and any unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on its consolidated balance sheets, and as a component of other comprehensive income on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company evaluates each AFS debt security that has an unrealized loss recorded at the reporting date for a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses.

Prior to the fourth quarter 2024, the Company classified its preferred equity investments as held-to-maturity debt securities as the investments met the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities. As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not have the positive intent to hold all the securities to maturity. As such, the Company has reclassified all its previously held-to-maturity debt securities to AFS debt securities.

For investments that do not meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, the Company will evaluate the characteristics and the facts and circumstances to determine if loan accounting treatment is appropriate. If loan accounting treatment is deemed appropriate, the Company recognizes interest income on its notes receivable on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected. Costs incurred to originate its notes receivable are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related note receivable. 11

Table of Contents In circumstances where the Company does have significant influence in the investment, however the Company determines that the investment does not meet the criterial of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities and that loan accounting treatment is not appropriate, the Company generally accounts for these investments under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires these investments to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently increased (decreased) for the Company’s share of net income (loss), and increased (decreased) for contributions (distributions). The proportionate share of the results of operations of these investments is recognized on a one-quarter lag and is recorded in the Company’s earnings or losses.

Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded current income tax expense of approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and state income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to income earned in certain taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Company records these amounts in income tax expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. No income tax expense was recorded in 2024.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40)” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require additional disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its financial disclosures. 12

Table of Contents Current Expected Credit Losses

Preferred Equity Investments

The Company performs an individual assessment of expected credit losses for its preferred equity investments, which are accounted for as AFS debt securities, that have an unrealized loss recorded at the reporting date. The Company first evaluates whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the AFS debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the amortized cost basis of the security is written down to its fair value through income. If these criteria are not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value of the AFS debt security has resulted from credit losses. If it is determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, or a foreclosure is probable, or the Company expects repayment through the sale of the collateral, the Company calculates expected credit losses based on the value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date. During this review process, if the Company determines that it is probable that it will not be able to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of an investment, the preferred equity investment is not considered fully recoverable. As such, a provision for credit loss is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any remaining noncredit loss component of unrealized loss would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income.

Changes in the provision for credit loss are recorded as a provision for (or recovery of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the non-collectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Uncertainty Due to Economic Volatility

The Company’s results of operations in the future may be directly or indirectly affected by uncertainties such as the effects of inflation and related volatility in the market. As inflation accelerated rapidly in the first half of 2023, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates a total of four times during 2023 to curb the effects of rising inflation. While the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by an aggregate of 100-basis points during 2024 and by another 25-basis points in September 2025, there can be no assurances that interest rates will not rise again, and the Company’s operating costs, including utilities and payroll, may increase as a result of increases in inflation. Rising interest rates cause uncertainty in credit and capital markets which could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, any tariffs imposed by the current administration or other countries may cause further inflationary pressures in the economy, uncertainty and volatility of debt and equity markets, and a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies. The announced tariffs are likely to increase construction costs and further reduce already constrained new supply starts, which could adversely impact the timing of actual completion and/or stabilization of build-to-rent communities, including potential delays due to supply shortages and labor shortages. The long-term impact of these economic developments will largely depend on any future action by the Federal Reserve, future laws that may be enacted, the impact on job growth and the broader economy, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of economic volatility on all aspects of its business.

Harmony at Clear Creek Development

On September 30, 2025, the Company, through a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party (the “Harmony JV”), in which the Company holds an 85% interest, acquired land located in Shawnee, Kansas for a purchase price of $2.3 million for the development of an approximately 188-unit residential community to be known as Harmony at Clear Creek. In connection with the acquisition and planned development, the Harmony JV entered into a construction loan agreement providing for borrowings of up to $46.5 million. At September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance under the construction loan was negligible and is included in mortgages payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate cap associated with the construction loan, and any capitalized interest, is recorded within construction in process on the consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents Note 9 – DST Program

The Company has a program (collectively, the “DST Program”) through which it raises capital in private placement offerings of beneficial interests in specific Delaware statutory trusts (each, a “DST”) holding real properties (each, a “DST Property”). Each DST Property is leased-back by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership on a long-term basis through a master lease agreement. The master lease agreement is partially guaranteed by the Operating Partnership in the form of a demand note capitalizing the lessee. Additionally, the Operating Partnership retains a fair market value purchase option giving it the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the interests in the DST from the investors in exchange for OP Units or cash commencing two years after full syndication. As the Company is the primary beneficiary of the DST Property for financial reporting purposes, the Company consolidates the DST Property and operations in its financial statements.

Under the master lease, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Operating Partnership is responsible for subleasing the property to tenants, paying certain underlying costs associated with operating the property, and remitting rent to the DST that owns such property.

The following table summarizes the Company’s offerings in its DST Program as of September 30, 2025 (amounts in thousands):

**** **** Net Offering Proceeds ****

Borrowings under the Amended DB Credit Facility bore interest on the amount drawn at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.80%, and borrowings could be prepaid without premium or penalty. On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement with Deutsche Bank that replaced the Amended DB Credit Facility with a senior loan (the “DB Loan” - refer to Note 11 for further information).

KeyBank Credit Facility

In October 2024, the Company, through a subsidiary of its Operating Partnership, entered into a credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) related to the Company’s DST Program. The KeyBank Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan with a maximum commitment amount of $50 million. The Company has provided a guarantee on any outstanding balance and up to the full commitment and has pledged interests in certain assets as collateral. Borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility bear interest per annum, at the Company’s option, at SOFR (Daily Simple or Term) plus 3.60% or the base rate plus 2.50% (base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%), and borrowings can be prepaid without premium or penalty.

Table of Contents Deferred financing costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related financing agreements, as applicable, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs, including amounts related to the revolving credit facilities (refer to Note 10 for further information), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, and $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Fair value adjustments of debt

The Company records a fair value adjustment based upon the fair value of the loans on the date they were assumed in conjunction with acquisitions. The fair value adjustments are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the loans.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Debt Modification Costs

Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change (i.e., a 10% or greater difference in the cash flows between instruments) in the terms of an underlying debt agreement, the Company writes-off any unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments related to the original debt that was extinguished. Prepayment penalties incurred on the early repayment of debt and costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized would also be included within loss on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company had a negligible amount of loss on extinguishment of debt and no debt modification costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company had $0.1 million of loss on extinguishment of debt and no debt modification costs for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Table of Contents Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

For financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, fair value is the price the Company would expect to receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date under current market conditions. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction.

In determining fair value, observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions; preference is given to observable inputs. In accordance with GAAP and as defined in ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement, these two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

●    Level 1:Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

●    Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

●    Level 3:Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from and due to affiliates, revolving credit facilities, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate fair value based on their highly liquid nature and/or short-term maturities and are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of notes receivable approximate fair value because stated interest rate terms are consistent with interest rate terms on new deals with similar leverage and risk profiles. The fair values of notes receivable are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs that are utilized in their respective valuations.

At September 30, 2025, the fair value of the Marble Fund is based upon the net asset value reported within the Marble Fund’s financial information. This financial information represents market prices within an inactive market as the Marble Fund prices units based on the net asset value of the fund. Entrants to the fund are priced based upon the current net asset value of the fund at the time of investment. As such, the carrying value of the Marble Fund approximates fair value, and the financial information used to determine the fair value of the Company’s investment in the Marble Fund represents market-corroborated inputs of the asset, which is considered a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy. The Company held no investments in unconsolidated real estate funds at December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 7 for further information on the Marble Fund.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for similar liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is estimated at $401.4 million and $250.2 million, respectively, compared to the carrying amounts, before adjustments for deferred financing costs, net, of $401.8 million and $258.2 million, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based on interest rates obtained from a third party for similar types of borrowing arrangements and accordingly, the fair value of mortgages payable is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 26

Table of Contents The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands):

September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value

Preferred equity investments ^(1)^ Level 3 $ 45,091 $ 45,091 $ 81,668 $ 81,668
Derivative financial instruments ^(2)^ Level 2 1,057 1,057 1,220 1,220
^(1)^ Represents the Company’s preferred equity investments which are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities (refer to Note 8 for further information). The Company measures the fair value of its AFS preferred equity investments utilizing observable and unobservable market inputs. The observable market inputs include recent transactions and broker quotes (“market data”). However, given the implied price dispersion amongst the market data, the fair value determination for the AFS preferred equity investments has also utilized significant unobservable inputs in discounted cash flow models based on recent performance of the collateral, the underlying collateral characteristics, industry trends as well as expectations of macroeconomic events. At each measurement date, the Company considers both the observable and unobservable valuation inputs in the determination of fair value. However, given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the fair values of AFS preferred equity investments are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
--- ---
^(2)^ The estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments are valued using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market-standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts which would occur if floating interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The floating interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The inputs used in the valuation of interest rate caps and swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its operating real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. If the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of operating real estate, the Company will record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the operating real estate. Fair value is determined by using valuation techniques appropriate to the specific operating asset, which may include discounted cash flow analysis or a broker’s opinion of value. These valuation methods utilize inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $3.8 million related to its Peak JV 2 portfolio, which is included in the Company’s scattered single-family homes segment. The impairment loss is reflected in (impairment) and gain on sale of real estate investments, net within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Of the total impairment loss, approximately $3.5 million was attributable to a revised hold period assessment for 75 units within the portfolio that are now expected to be sold in the near term. The remaining $0.3 million impairment was driven by deterioration in submarket conditions. No impairment losses were recorded on operating real estate or related intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company’s operating units for which it has recorded impairments, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands).

Note 13 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps and swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company has not designated any of the interest rate derivatives as hedges. Although these derivative financial instruments were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting, the Company believes the derivative financial instruments mitigate increases in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. 28

Table of Contents At September 30, 2025, the Company had interest rate caps and swaps which effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $100.8 million of the Company’s debt. The following table summarizes the Company’s derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):

Table of Contents The Company pays the Manager a base management fee (the “base management fee”) in an amount equal to 1.50% of the Company’s New Stockholders’ Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) per year, as well as an incentive fee (the “incentive fee”) with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears. The Company is required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses and pay all operating expenses (the “operating expense reimbursement”) with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. Prior to the fourth quarter 2024, the Management Agreement provided that (i) the base management fee and the incentive fee would be allocated and payable as one half (50%) in C-LTIP Units (as defined in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement) and the remainder payable in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board, and (ii) the operating expense reimbursement shall be payable either in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board. Commencing with the fourth quarter 2024, the Management Agreement provides that (i) the base management fee shall be paid in cash unless there is an agreement between the Board and the Manager to pay all or a portion of the base management fee in C-LTIP Units, and (ii) the operating expense reimbursement remains payable either in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board. The number of C-LTIP Units payable and issued to the Manager for the base management fee, the incentive fee and expense reimbursements will be equal to the dollar amount (of the portion deemed payable in C-LTIP Units) of the fees earned or reimbursement amount divided by the average of the closing prices of the Class A common stock for the five business days prior to issuance.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded base management fees of $2.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, were, or shall be, paid in C-LTIP Units with the remainder paid in cash. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded base management fees of $2.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of which one half (50%) was paid in C-LTIP Units and the remainder paid in cash. There have been no incentive fee expenses incurred during 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating expense reimbursements of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, and $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Commencing with operating expense reimbursements for the first quarter 2024, the Company paid the operating expense reimbursement to the Manager entirely in cash. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded direct expense reimbursements of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which were, or shall be, paid to the Manager in cash.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Fund

The Company’s investment in the Marble Fund, which is an unconsolidated real estate fund (refer to Note 7 for further information), is accounted for under the equity method as the Company considers its degree of influence to be more than minor. As such, the Company’s investment in the Marble Fund is considered a related party investment. The Company earns a return on its investment which is recognized on a one-quarter lag and is recorded in income from investments in unconsolidated real estate funds on its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $0.1 million of related party amounts payable to the Marble Fund pertaining to carried interest. The Company records these payables in due to affiliates on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company held no investments in unconsolidated real estate funds at December 31, 2024.

Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement with Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC

In connection with a new lease on the Company’s New York (Manhattan) headquarters, effective May 2024, the Company and an unaffiliated third-party landlord entered into a lease for separate corporate space (the “NY Premises Lease”) located at 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York (the “NY Premises”). The NY Premises Lease commenced in November 2024 when the landlord made the NY Premises available to the Company to begin its own alterations and improvements. With respect to the NY Premises, the Company and Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“BREH”), which is an affiliate of the Manager, entered into a leasehold cost-sharing agreement (the “Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement”) to provide for the allocation and sharing between BREH and the Company of the costs thereunder, including costs associated with tenant improvements. BREH and certain of its respective subsidiaries and/or affiliates will share occupancy of the NY Premises. Under the Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement, if there is a change in control of either BREH or the Company, the allocation of costs under the Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement shall be modified to thereafter allocate such costs based on the average of the cost-sharing percentages between BREH and the Company over the four most recently-completed calendar quarters immediately preceding the change in control date (or shall be the average cost-sharing percentages over such shorter period, if the change in control occurs earlier than the completion of four calendar quarters). Under the NY Premises Lease, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, issued a payment of approximately $450,000 as a security deposit. Payment by BREH of any amounts payable under the Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement to the Company will be made in cash.

The table below presents the related party amounts receivable from BREH at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 pursuant to the terms of the Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement (amounts in thousands). The Company records these receivables in due from affiliates on its consolidated balance sheets.

Harmony at Clear Creek Development

In connection with the Harmony at Clear Creek land acquisition that occurred on September 30, 2025 (refer to Note 3 for further information), the Harmony JV entered into a joint venture agreement with BTR Preferred Investments, LLC (“BTR Preferred”), an entity that includes an affiliate of the Manager, in which BTR Preferred committed to fund up to $16.8 million of preferred equity interests in the Harmony at Clear Creek development. At September 30, 2025, BTR Preferred has not funded any of the committed amount.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

In conjunction with the offering of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (refer to Note 15 for further information), the Company engaged Bluerock Capital Markets, LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, as dealer manager, and pays up to 10% of the gross offering proceeds from the offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The dealer manager re-allows the substantial majority of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers and incurs costs in excess of the 10%, which costs are borne by the dealer manager without reimbursement by the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2.6 million in selling commissions and discounts and $1.1 million in dealer manager fees and discounts related to its offering of Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the Manager was, or shall be, reimbursed by the Company for offering costs of $0.9 million in conjunction with the offering of Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The selling commissions, dealer manager fees, discounts and reimbursements for offering costs were recorded as a reduction to the proceeds of the offering.

Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock and LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net (loss) income for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock and LTIP Units.

The Company considers the requirements of the two-class method when preparing earnings per share. The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class C common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Earnings per share is not affected by the two-class method because the Company’s Class A and C common stock participate in dividends on a one-for-one basis. 32

Table of Contents The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

--- ---
^(2)^ For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the diluted shares calculation excludes the following as the effects are antidilutive: (i) potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 20,072 shares, and (ii) potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 10,289,331 shares.
--- ---

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 11,975 shares is included in the diluted shares calculation, whereas the potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 4,142,972 shares is excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the diluted shares calculations exclude the following as the effects are antidilutive: (i) potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 7,869 shares and 3,383 shares, respectively, and (ii) potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 10,287,117 shares and 2,315,348 shares, respectively.

The effect of the conversion of OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 1,493,372 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under its continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million after commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts, and costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had issued a total of 6,126,657 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $133.4 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, the Company, at the request of holders, had redeemed a total of 10,960 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the issuance of 18,653 shares of Class A common stock and redeemed a total of 27,868 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash.

In May 2024, the Company announced the payment of an enhanced special dividend replacing the previous special dividend. The enhanced special dividend is aggregated with the regular monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate of the average one-month Term SOFR rate plus two percent, subject to a 6.5% minimum and an 8.5% maximum annual rate, calculated and paid monthly. Commencing in May 2024, the Series A Preferred enhanced special dividend was declared for each month for which the Board declared the regular monthly dividend of $0.125 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. 33

Table of Contents At the date of issuance, the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock was less than the redemption value. As a result of the Company’s determination that holder redemption is probable, the carrying value will be increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying value will equal the redemption value net of early redemption fees at the earliest redemption date. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had recorded a total of $3.6 million of accretion related to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Safeguard Policy

On February 6, 2025, the Company implemented a new Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Safeguard Policy (the “Policy”) with respect to its Series A Preferred Stock. The Policy is applicable in the event of any redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock rather than in cash (each, a “Preferred Redemption in common stock”). The Policy provides that if, within 10 business days of any such Preferred Redemption in common stock, any such shares of Class A common stock are sold at a loss (i.e. a lower price than the Aggregate Redemption Value), the holder can apply to the Company for a cash payment to the holder in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Aggregate Redemption Value of the Class A common stock so issued, and (ii) the Aggregate Sale Price at which such shares of Class A common stock were sold, subject to certain conditions and requirements as set forth in the Policy. The Policy applies both retroactively, and on a go-forward basis, to holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.

Class A Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 13, 2024, the Board authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The repurchase plan had a term of one year and ended in February 2025. The Company made no repurchases of its Class A common stock under this plan.

On February 28, 2025, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company expects that any repurchases of its Class A common stock will be through open market transactions, subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2025, no repurchases of Class A common stock had been made by the Company.

Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units

As of September 30, 2025, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.30% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (7,365,404 OP Units, or 55.74%, were held by OP Unit holders, and 1,791,331 LTIP Units, or 13.56%, were held by LTIP Unit holders, including 2.99% which were not vested as of September 30, 2025). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or, at the Company’s election, cash.

On March 7, 2025, the Company granted 21,254 C-LTIP Units, or approximately $245,000, to the Manager as partial payment of the total base management fee of $2.5 million for the fourth quarter 2024.

In the future, the Operating Partnership may issue OP Units or preferred OP Units from time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or for financing, compensation or other reasons. 34

^(2)^ Holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock shares are entitled to an enhanced special dividend equal to the amount by which (i) the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by (a) the sum of (I) the average of the one-month Term SOFR for each day commencing on the 26^th^ of the prior month to the 25^th^ of the applicable month, plus (II) two percent, divided by (b) twelve, exceeds (ii) the standard monthly dividend of $0.125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The enhanced special dividend will be aggregated with the standard monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock that is subject to a 6.5% minimum and 8.5% maximum annual rate.

A portion of each dividend may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to declare dividends or at this rate. Holders of restricted stock, OP Units, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units are entitled to receive “distribution equivalents” at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of the Company’s Class A common stock. 36

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

The aggregate amount of the Company’s contractual commitments to fund future cash obligations in certain of its preferred equity investments was $23.2 million and $17.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, the Company has two consolidated residential communities (Abode Wendell Falls and Harmony at Clear Creek) under construction comprised of an aggregate of 358 units. At September 30, 2025, the Company estimates the remaining costs to complete the construction of these two residential communities to be approximately $121.4 million. The Company intends to finance these costs through a combination of available cash, proceeds from construction loans, and preferred equity capital contributions.

The Company is subject to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these legal proceedings or matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations or liquidity of the Company. 37

Table of Contents Lessee – Operating Lease

In connection with the Company moving its New York (Manhattan) headquarters, effective May 2024, the Company, as lessee, and an unaffiliated third-party landlord entered into the NY Premises Lease (hereinafter, the “Lease”) for the NY Premises. In accordance with ASC Topic 842 Leases, the Company classifies the Lease as an operating lease, and by way of practical expedient, the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease (ex. common area maintenance) components of the Lease as a single lease component on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company recognizes the single lease component on a straight-line basis over the term of the Lease, and expenses that are non-components of the lease, such as real estate taxes for which the Company is not a direct beneficiary of the arrangement, are expensed in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of net rent expense related to the Lease. The Company did not record any net rent expense related to the Lease during the corresponding periods ended September 30, 2024.

Upon commencement of the Lease in November 2024, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $5.1 million and a lease liability of $5.0 million on its consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use asset is included within accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets, net, and the lease liability is included within other accrued liabilities. In determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the discount rate implicit in the Lease was not readily determinable. As such, the Company used a third-party analysis to determine that a discount rate of 7.61% approximated the incremental borrowing rate that it would incur for a loan that was of a similar term as the Lease and with a similar form of underlying collateral. At September 30, 2025, the remaining right-of-use asset and lease liability balances were $4.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and the remaining Lease term was approximately 5.8 years. In addition, the Company incurred tenant improvement costs related to the renovation and buildout of the NY Premises which are capitalized and included within net real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Such tenant improvement costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the Lease.

The following table summarizes the future minimum lease payments and total operating lease liability as of September 30, 2025 (amounts in thousands):

Table of Contents Note 17 – Segment Information

The Company owns and operates residential real estate assets that generate rental and other property-related income through the leasing of residential units to a diverse base of tenants. The Company evaluates operating performance on an individual property investment level and based on the investments’ similar economic characteristics. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The CODMs’ primary financial measure for operating performance is NOI as it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and those other items not related to property operating performance. CODMs are provided financial reports which include an income statement with property revenues, property operating expenses, and property net income. These financial reports assist the CODMs in assessing the Company’s financial performance and in allocating resources appropriately. The Company views its residential real estate assets as two reportable segments, consisting of (i) residential communities and (ii) scattered single-family homes. The CODMs do not distinguish or group operations on a geographic, tenant or other basis when assessing the financial performance of the Company’s portfolio of properties/investments.

Residential communities segment includes the acquisition, ownership, management, renovation, construction, and development of residential communities, which include both detached single-family home communities and attached unit communities such as apartments, townhouses, and duplexes. Each residential community is, generally, located on a single, contiguous land parcel and has amenities including clubhouses, gyms, pools and common areas. In addition, these residential communities typically have onsite property management.

Scattered single-family homes segment includes the acquisition, ownership, management, and renovation of scattered single-family homes, which are, generally, detached homes with no onsite property management.

Overview

We own and operate a portfolio of institutional residential properties including single-family homes, build-to-rent communities, and other residential communities located in attractive markets with a focus on the knowledge-economy and high-quality of life growth markets of the Sunbelt and Western United States. Our principal objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on investments where we believe we can drive growth in funds from operations and net asset value by acquiring residential units, developing residential communities, and through Value-Add renovations. Our Value-Add strategy focuses on repositioning lower-quality, less current assets to drive rent growth and expand margins to increase net operating income and maximize our return on investment.

As of September 30, 2025, we held twenty-two real estate investments, consisting of seventeen consolidated investments and five preferred equity investments. The twenty-two investments represent an aggregate of 5,282 residential units, comprised of 4,170 consolidated units, of which 358 units are under development, and 1,112 units through preferred equity investments, which includes planned units and those under development. As of September 30, 2025, our consolidated operating investments were approximately 91.8% occupied; excluding units classified as held for sale and down/renovation units, our consolidated operating investments were approximately 93.7% occupied. 44

Table of Contents We have elected to be treated, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to corporate-level income taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we are required, among other requirements, to distribute annually at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and we would not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following the year in which we lost our qualification. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and results of operations. We intend to continue to organize and operate in such a manner as to remain qualified as a REIT.

Industry Segments

We own and operate residential real estate assets that generate rental and other property-related income through the leasing of residential units to a diverse base of tenants. We view our residential real estate assets as two reportable segments, consisting of (i) residential communities and (ii) scattered single-family homes. Our Chief Operating Decision Makers, which are our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not distinguish or group operations on a geographic, tenant or other basis when assessing the financial performance of our portfolio of properties/investments.

Residential communities segment includes the acquisition, ownership, management, renovation, construction, and development of residential communities, which include both detached single-family home communities and attached unit communities such as apartments, townhouses, and duplexes. Each residential community is, generally, located on a single, contiguous land parcel and has amenities including clubhouses, gyms, pools and common areas. In addition, these residential communities typically have onsite property management.

Scattered single-family homes segment includes the acquisition, ownership, management, and renovation of scattered single-family homes, which are, generally, detached homes with no onsite property management.

Inflation and Related Economic Volatility

While inflationary pressures have shown signs of moderation, we continue to monitor increases in inflation and rising interest rates and resulting economic changes in credit and capital markets. Inflation and its related impacts, including increased prices for services and goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any policy interventions by the U.S. government, could negatively impact our residents’ ability to pay rents and our results of operations. Substantially all our leases are for a term of one year or less, which we believe mitigates our exposure to inflation, by permitting us to set rents commensurate with inflation (subject to rent regulations to the extent they apply and assuming our current or prospective residents will accept and can pay commensurate increased rents, of which there can be no assurance). Inflation could outpace any increases in rent and adversely affect us. We may not be able to mitigate the effects of inflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any such related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition are unknown at this time. Inflation may also cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could affect our ability to access the capital markets or impact the cost or timing at which we are able to do so. Inflation may also increase the costs to complete our development projects, including costs of materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and our expected yields on development projects.

Additionally, developments in the banking industry in early 2023 caused uncertainty and concern regarding the strength of the banking system. As a result, the cost of obtaining debt from credit and capital markets increased as many lenders increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, and reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Although our banking relationships are primarily with large national banks, a significant disruption to the banking system could lead to market-wide liquidity problems which could adversely affect our access to capital and our cost of capital. If we need to incur debt from a source other than our revolving credit facilities, we cannot be certain the additional financing will be available to the extent required and on acceptable terms. If debt financing on acceptable terms is not available, we may be unable to fully execute our growth strategy, otherwise take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 45

Table of Contents Other weakened economic conditions, including job losses, high unemployment levels, stock market volatility, and uncertainty about the future, could adversely affect rental rates and occupancy levels. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the current U.S. administration has introduced tariffs on imports from a broad set of countries, including Canada, Mexico, European Union member states, Japan and China, in response to which global trading partners have imposed or may impose their own tariffs. Such tariffs, and any additional tariffs imposed by the current administration or other countries, may cause further inflationary pressures in the economy, uncertainty and volatility of debt and equity markets, and a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies. The announced tariffs are likely to increase construction costs and further reduce already constrained new supply starts, which could adversely impact the timing of actual completion and/or stabilization of our build-to-rent communities, including potential delays due to supply shortages and labor shortages. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and our results of operations.

Other Significant Developments

Investment Activity Summary

Provided below is a summary of our investment activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Acquisition of Southern Pines Reserve

On April 28, 2025, we, through a Delaware statutory trust (the “Southern Pines DST”), acquired a 272-unit residential community located in Aberdeen, North Carolina known as Southern Pines Reserve, aka Hawthorne. The purchase price of $56.6 million was funded with (i) a $30.7 million senior loan secured by Southern Pines Reserve, (ii) borrowings of $20.0 million through our existing credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), and (iii) cash of $8.9 million funded by us, inclusive of certain adjustments typical in such real estate transactions.

Acquisition of Skytop Apartments

On September 29, 2025, we, through a Delaware statutory trust (the “Skytop DST”), acquired a 361-unit residential community located in Cincinnati, Ohio known as Skytop Apartments. The purchase price of $88.5 million was funded with (i) a $57.5 million senior loan secured by Skytop Apartments, (ii) borrowings of $22.0 million through the KeyBank Credit Facility, and (iii) cash of $13.0 million funded by the us, inclusive of certain adjustments typical in such real estate transactions.

Southern Pines Reserve and Skytop Apartments are the second and third properties, respectively, that we have acquired through Delaware statutory trusts (each, a “DST”) to be part of private placement offerings through which interests in each DST will be issued to third party accredited investors therein.

Harmony at Clear Creek Development

On September 30, 2025, we, through a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party (the “Harmony JV”), in which we hold an 85% interest, acquired land located in Shawnee, Kansas for a purchase price of $2.3 million for the development of an approximately 188-unit residential community to be known as Harmony at Clear Creek. In connection with the acquisition and planned development, the Harmony JV entered into a construction loan agreement providing for borrowings of up to $46.5 million. At September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance under the construction loan was negligible and is included in mortgages payable on our consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate cap associated with the construction loan, and any capitalized interest, is recorded within construction in process on the consolidated balance sheets. We account for Harmony at Clear Creek as a consolidated investment.

Acquisition of Additional Interests in Investments

On July 11, 2025, we purchased the noncontrolling partner’s interest in each of the Peak JV 2 and Peak JV 3 portfolios for $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We increased our interest in (i) the Peak JV 2 portfolio from 80% to 100% and (ii) the Peak JV 3 portfolio from 56% to 100%. 46

Table of Contents Sales of Consolidated Operating Units

We closed on the following sales: 20 units in the ILE portfolio, 14 units in the Indy-Springfield portfolio, 22 units in the Peak JV 2 portfolio, and 48 units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio, pursuant to the terms and conditions of multiple separate purchase and sale agreements. The 104 units were all previously classified as held for sale and sold for an aggregate of approximately $18.4 million, subject to certain closing costs, prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions. After deducting the paydown of existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering 19 units in the ILE portfolio of approximately $3.5 million, the sales of the 104 units generated net proceeds of approximately $13.3 million and a gain on sales of approximately $2.0 million.

Loan Investment Activity

Our two remaining loan investments were paid off in full, including any accrued but unpaid interest amounts, as follows: (i) Wayford at Pringle in the aggregate amount of $23.0 million, which included our principal investment of $22.3 million and accrued interest of $0.7 million, and (ii) Willow Park in the aggregate amount of $9.4 million, which included our principal investment of $9.4 million and a negligible amount of accrued interest.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Fund Summary

On April 25, 2025, we closed on the acquisition of a limited partnership interest in Marble Capital Income and Impact Fund, LP (the “Marble Fund”) for a purchase price of $25.0 million. We account for our investment in the Marble Fund under the equity method as we consider our degree of influence to be more than minor.

Table of Contents Held for Sale

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we classified an aggregate of 84 units and 167 units, respectively, as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an impairment of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, and $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to held for sale units which is included in (impairment) and gain on sale of real estate investments, net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The 84 units classified as held for sale at September 30, 2025 are all reported in our scattered single-family homes segment and are included in the following portfolios: 4 units of Golden Pacific, 5 units of ILE, 23 units of Indy-Springfield, 10 units of Peak JV 2, and all 42 units of Peak JV 3. These units were identified based on submarket analysis and individual unit-level operational review. Real estate assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and are presented separately within operating real estate held for sale, net on our consolidated balance sheets.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued 1,493,372 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under a continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million after commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts, and costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2025, we have issued a total of 6,126,657 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $133.4 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, we, at the request of holders, had redeemed a total of 10,960 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the issuance of 18,653 shares of Class A common stock and redeemed a total of 27,868 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash.

Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Safeguard Policy

On February 6, 2025, we implemented a new Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Safeguard Policy (the “Policy”) with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock. The Policy is applicable in the event of any redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in shares of our Class A common stock rather than in cash (each, a “Preferred Redemption in common stock”). The Policy provides that if, within 10 business days of any such Preferred Redemption in common stock, any such shares of Class A common stock are sold at a loss (i.e. a lower price than the Aggregate Redemption Value), the holder can apply to us for a cash payment to the holder in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Aggregate Redemption Value of the Class A common stock so issued, and (ii) the Aggregate Sale Price at which such shares of Class A common stock were sold, subject to certain conditions and requirements as set forth in the Policy. The Policy applies both retroactively, and on a go-forward basis, to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our total stockholders’ equity decreased $7.4 million from $139.1 million as of December 31, 2024 to $131.7 million as of September 30, 2025. The decrease in our total stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to dividends declared of $8.2 million, preferred stock accretion of $3.4 million, and a net adjustment of $0.7 million for noncontrolling interests, partially offset by the acquisitions of noncontrolling interests for $2.7 million, net income of $1.4 million, Class A common stock issuances, net of forfeitures, of $0.5 million, and comprehensive income of $0.2 million. 48

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue

Rental and other property revenues increased $4.6 million, or 38%, to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $12.0 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to: (i) the acquisition of 1,230 units at four residential communities, which was partially offset by sales of 176 units at one residential community and 165 single-family units in our portfolio since July 1, 2024, and (ii) rental rate improvement from our active management and organic market rent growth. Our average rent per occupied unit increased $60, or 3.7%, to $1,695 as compared to $1,635 during the prior year period. Average occupancy increased 30 basis points from 90.9% to 91.2% on a year over year basis.

Interest income from loan investments amounted to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $0.7 million for the same prior year period due to the full payoff of three loan investments prior to the third quarter of 2025. We did not have any loan investments during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $2.3 million, or 36%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $6.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 1,230 units at four residential communities, which was partially offset by sales of 176 units at one residential community and 165 single-family units in our portfolio since July 1, 2024.

Property management and asset management fee expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $1.2 million in the same prior year period. Property management fees are based on a stated percentage of property revenues and asset management fees are based on a stated percentage of capital contributions or assets under management, where applicable.

General and administrative expenses amounted to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $2.5 million for the same prior year period. Of the $2.7 million total expense in the second quarter 2025, $1.7 million related to direct costs incurred by us, while the remaining $1.0 million related to the operating expense reimbursement to our Manager, which includes rent, utilities, and IT expenses. 51

Table of Contents Management fees to related party amounted to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $2.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in equity primarily from our continuous registered offering of Series A Preferred Stock. For the third quarter of 2025, we will pay $0.2 million of the base management fee in C-LTIP Units with the remainder in cash. Prior to the fourth quarter 2024, we paid the base management fee to the Manager as one half (50%) in C-LTIP Units and the remainder in cash.

Weather-related losses were negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $0.2 million for the same prior year period. The 2024 expense primarily relates to hurricane damage in Texas.

Acquisition and other transaction costs amounted to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and were negligible for the same prior year period. Acquisition costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $4.9 million for the same prior year period, with the increase primarily due to the acquisition of four residential communities since July 1, 2024. The increase was partially offset by (i) the sales of one residential community and single-family units in our portfolio since July 1, 2024 and (ii) in-place leases being fully amortized at two residential communities prior to the third quarter 2025.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense amounted to expense of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to income of $8.4 million for the same prior year period. This was primarily due to a $10.0 million decrease in gain on sales of real estate investments, a $3.2 million increase in impairment on real estate, a decrease in preferred returns of $0.9 million as funding to our preferred equity investments decreased to $45.0 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to $73.3 million at September 30, 2024. These changes were partially offset by a $1.8 million gain on the sale of one preferred equity investment.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to zero for the same prior year period. The 2025 expense primarily relates to income earned on certain taxable REIT subsidiaries for Amira at Westly, Southern Pines Reserve, and one preferred equity investment.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenues increased $14.5 million, or 42%, to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $34.7 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to: (i) the acquisition of 1,524 units at five residential communities, which was partially offset by sales of 176 units at one residential community and 202 single-family units in our portfolio since January 1, 2024, and (ii) rental rate improvement from our active management and organic market rent growth. Our average rent per occupied unit increased $76, or 4.7%, to $1,693 as compared to $1,617 during the prior year period. Average occupancy decreased 30 basis points from 91.9% to 91.6% on a year over year basis.

Interest income from loan investments amounted to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $1.7 million for the same prior year period due to the full payoff of three loan investments since the third quarter of 2024.

Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $7.2 million, or 41%, to $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $17.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 1,524 units at five residential communities, which was partially offset by sales of 176 units at one residential community and 202 single-family units in our portfolio since January 1, 2024.

Property management and asset management fee expenses were $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $3.5 million in the same prior year period.

Table of Contents General and administrative expenses amounted to $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $7.8 million for the same prior year period. Of the $8.4 million total expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $5.4 million related to direct costs incurred by us, while the remaining $3.0 million related to the operating expense reimbursement to our Manager, which includes rent, utilities, and IT expenses.

Management fees to related party amounted to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $6.6 million for the same prior year period.

Acquisition and other transaction costs amounted to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and were negligible for the same prior year period. Acquisition costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $13.7 million for the same prior year period, with the increase primarily due to the acquisition of five residential communities since January 1, 2024. The increase was partially offset by (i) the sales of one residential community and single-family units in our portfolio since January 1, 2024 and (ii) in-place leases being fully amortized at one residential community prior to 2025.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense amounted to expense of $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to income of $8.0 million for the same prior year period. This was primarily due to (i) a $9.0 million decrease in gain on sales of real estate investments, (ii) a $4.7 million increase in interest expense primarily attributable to an increase in the outstanding debt to $426.0 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to $166.7 million at December 31, 2023, (iii) a $2.2 million increase in impairment on real estate, and (iv) a decrease in preferred returns of $1.1 million as funding to our preferred equity investments decreased to $45.0 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to $81.3 million at December 31, 2023.

These changes were partially offset by a $3.2 million gain on the sale of two preferred equity investments and $0.7 million income from the investment in one unconsolidated real estate fund.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense amounted to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to zero for the same prior year period. The 2025 expense primarily relates to income earned on certain taxable REIT subsidiaries for Amira at Westly, Southern Pines Reserve, and three preferred equity investments.

Net Operating Income

We believe that net operating income (“NOI”) is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and interest. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. NOI also is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance.

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from operating income or net income prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our properties because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. 53

Table of Contents However, NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our financial performance. The following table reflects net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders together with a reconciliation to NOI, as computed in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented (amounts in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, both short- and long-term. Our primary short-term liquidity requirements historically have related to (i) our operating expenses and other general business needs, (ii) investment in real estate, (iii) distributions to stockholders, (iv) committed investments and capital requirements to fund development and renovations at existing properties, and (v) ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, including our maturing debt and the KeyBank Credit Facility.

Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our short-term liquidity needs could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025. While consolidated occupancy excluding units classified as held for sale and down/renovation units remains strong at 93.7% as of September 30, 2025, in future periods we may experience reduced levels of tenant retention, and reduced foot traffic and lease applications from prospective tenants. 54

Table of Contents In addition, in October 2024, we launched a program (collectively, the “DST Program”) to sponsor and raise capital in private placement offerings of beneficial interests in specific Delaware statutory trusts (each, a “DST”) holding real properties (each, a “DST Property”). We expect that the DST Program will give us the opportunity to expand and diversify our capital raise strategies by offering what we believe to be an attractive investment product for investors that may be seeking replacement properties to complete like-kind exchange transactions and create future pipeline acquisition opportunities. In conjunction with the DST Program, our Operating Partnership has issued certain non-interest bearing demand notes in relation to its role as the master tenant (the “Master Tenant”) under certain master leases (the “Master Leases”) related to the DST Program (the “Demand Notes”), which could be called upon if the net operating cash flow is insufficient to pay the rent required under the Master Leases (subject to limited deferral rights) or satisfy its other obligations under the Master Leases. As compensation for the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Master Leases, we will share in the rent paid by the tenants of the underlying properties in accordance with the waterfall set forth in the applicable Master Lease. As of September 30, 2025, we had three DST Properties (Amira at Westly, Skytop Apartments and Southern Pines Reserve) in our DST Program and had raised net offering proceeds of $75.5 million, issued demand notes of $1.8 million, and had $243.9 million in total net real estate investments associated with the DST Program. The Amira at Westly DST had been fully subscribed with equity from individual investors as of September 30, 2025.

In conjunction with sponsoring of the DST Program, our Operating Partnership is granted an option to acquire DST interests from the DST Program’s beneficial owners at a later date for an aggregate value equal to such beneficial owner’s pro rata share of the appraised value of the properties, as determined by an independent appraisal firm, less any indebtedness encumbering such beneficial owner’s DST interest or the beneficial owner’s pro rata share of any indebtedness encumbering the properties, which will be assumed or paid off by our Operating Partnership.

In general, we believe our available cash balances, cash flows from operations, proceeds from the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock, proceeds from the KeyBank Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined, the “revolving credit facility”), proceeds from our DST Program, proceeds from future mortgage debt financings for acquisitions and/or development projects, and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next 12 months. In general, we expect that our results related to our existing portfolio will improve in future periods as a result of anticipated future investments in and acquisitions of residential properties and build-to-rent communities.

We believe we will be able to meet our primary liquidity requirements going forward through, among other sources:

$162.7 million in cash available at September 30, 2025;
capacity of $50 million on the KeyBank Credit Facility, of which $28 million was available at September 30, 2025 for use in our DST Program;
--- ---
proceeds from future mortgage debt financings for acquisition and/or development projects;
--- ---
cash generated from operating activities; and
--- ---
proceeds from the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock and potential offerings of common and preferred stock, as well as issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025 related to our mortgage notes secured by our properties and revolving credit facility. Our estimated future required payments on these obligations as of September 30, 2025 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Total 2025 2026-2027 2028-2029 Thereafter
Mortgages Payable (Principal) $ 404,000 $ 459 $ 117,308 $ 86,153 $ 200,080
Revolving Credit Facility 22,000 22,000
Estimated Interest Payments on Mortgages Payable and Revolving Credit Facility 113,835 5,282 41,218 27,866 39,469
Total $ 539,835 **** ​ $ 5,741 **** ​ $ 180,526 **** ​ $ 114,019 **** ​ $ 239,549

Estimated interest payments are based on the stated rates for mortgage notes payable assuming the interest rate in effect for the most recent quarter remains in effect through the respective maturity dates. 55

Table of Contents At September 30, 2025, we had contractual commitments to fund future cash obligations in certain of our preferred equity investments in the aggregate of $23.2 million. In addition, we have two consolidated residential communities (Abode Wendell Falls and Harmony at Clear Creek) under construction comprised of an aggregate of 358 units. As of September 30, 2025, we estimate that the remaining costs associated with the completion of construction for these two residential communities will be approximately $121.4 million. We intend to finance these costs through a combination of available cash, proceeds from construction loans, and preferred equity capital contributions.

As equity capital market conditions permit, we may supplement our capital for short-term liquidity needs with proceeds of potential offerings of our common and preferred stock, as well as the issuance of OP Units. Given the significant volatility in the trading price of REIT equities and our otherwise stable financial condition and liquidity position, we cannot provide assurances that these offerings are a likely source of capital to meet short-term liquidity needs.

On February 13, 2024, our board of directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $5 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The repurchase plan had a term of one year and ended in February 2025. We made no repurchases of our Class A common stock under the plan.

On February 28, 2025, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $5 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which we repurchase shares of our Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. We expect that any repurchases of our Class A common stock will be through open market transactions, subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2025, we had not made any repurchases of our Class A common stock.

Our primary long-term liquidity requirements relate to (i) costs for additional residential investments, including development properties, (ii) repayment of long-term debt and our revolving credit facility, (iii) capital expenditures, (iv) cash redemption requirements related to our Series A Preferred Stock, (v) cash requirements related to our Series A Preferred Stock Safeguard Policy, and (vi) Class A common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase plan.

We intend to finance our long-term liquidity requirements with net proceeds of additional issuances of common and preferred stock, including issuances in connection with the continuous registered offering of our Series A Preferred Stock, our revolving credit facility, as well as future acquisition or project-based borrowings. Our success in meeting these requirements will therefore depend upon our ability to access capital. Further, our ability to access equity capital is dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for REITs and the capital markets generally, market perceptions about us and our asset class, and current trading prices of our securities.

As we did in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we may also selectively sell consolidated operating assets at appropriate times, which would be expected to generate cash sources for both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

We may also meet our long-term liquidity needs through borrowings from a number of sources, either at the corporate or project level. We believe our revolving credit facility will serve as our primary debt source that will continue to enable us to deploy our capital more efficiently and provide capital structure flexibility as we grow our asset base. In addition to restrictive covenants, our revolving credit facility contains material financial covenants. At September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under our revolving credit facility. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.

If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we would likely need to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to and developments of real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We also may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times to maintain REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. 56

Table of Contents We expect to maintain a distribution on our Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms which require monthly dividends. While our distributions through September 30, 2025 have been paid from cash flow from operations and in accordance with our policy, distributions in the future may be paid from cash flow from operations, proceeds from the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock, the sales of assets, and additional sources, such as from borrowings.

We have preferred equity interests in properties that are in various stages of development, in lease-up and operating, and our preferred equity investments are structured to provide a current and/or accrued preferred return during all phases. Each joint venture in which we own a preferred equity interest is required to redeem our preferred equity interests, plus any accrued preferred return, based on a fixed maturity date, generally in relation to the property’s construction loan or mortgage loan maturity. Upon redemption of the preferred equity interests, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could be reduced below the preferred returns currently being recognized. Alternatively, if the joint ventures do not redeem our preferred membership interest when required, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could be reduced if the development project does not produce sufficient cash flow to pays its operating expenses, debt service and preferred return obligations. We previously held notes receivable investments that were structured as senior loans. In the future, we may make additional notes receivable investments structured as senior loans or through mezzanine financing. The notes receivable provided a current stated return and required repayment based on a fixed maturity date. If the property did not repay the notes receivable upon maturity, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could have been reduced below the stated returns if the property did not produce sufficient cash flow to pay its operating expenses and debt service, or to refinance its debt obligations. As we evaluate our capital position and capital allocation strategy, we may consider alternative means of financing our development loan and preferred equity investment activities at the subsidiary level.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2025, we have off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures. At September 30, 2025, we hold preferred equity interests in five joint ventures that are accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of September 30, 2025, we held twenty-two real estate investments, consisting of seventeen consolidated investments and five preferred equity investments, with the twenty-two investments representing an aggregate of 5,282 residential units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $28.3 million after net loss of $23.1 million was adjusted for the following:

distributions of income and income from preferred equity investments of $22.0 million;
non-cash items of $20.3 million;
--- ---
an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $8.2 million;
--- ---
an increase in due to affiliates of $1.8 million;
--- ---
a decrease in notes and accrued interest receivable of $0.5 million; and
--- ---
distributions from investments in unconsolidated real estate funds of $0.3 million; offset by:
--- ---
an increase in accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets of $1.7 million.
--- ---

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $109.0 million, due to the following:

$155.7 million used in the acquisition of real estate investments;
$25.0 million used in an investment in an unconsolidated real estate fund;
--- ---
$13.7 million used on capital expenditures;
--- ---
$11.1 million used in investments in preferred equity investments; and
--- ---
$1.6 million used in the purchase of rate caps; offset by:
--- ---
$49.6 million of proceeds from the sale and redemption of preferred equity investments;
--- ---
$31.7 million of repayments on notes receivable; and
--- ---
$16.8 million of proceeds from the sales of real estate investments.

​ 57

Table of Contents Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $132.8 million, primarily due to the following:

borrowings of $88.3 million on mortgages payable;
$72.4 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests;
--- ---
proceeds of $42.0 million from borrowings on revolving credit facilities; and
--- ---
net proceeds of $32.3 million from the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; offset by:

$81.0 million of repayments on revolving credit facilities;
--- ---
$6.5 million of cash distributions paid to preferred stockholders;
--- ---
$4.9 million of repayments on mortgages payable;

Capital Expenditures

The following table summarizes our total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

Nine Months Ended
September 30,
**** 2025 **** 2024
New development $ 6,035 $ 346
Redevelopment/renovations 4,203 2,222
Routine capital expenditures 3,132 2,939
Normally recurring capital expenditures 875 470
Total capital expenditures $ 14,245 $ 5,977

New development represents the expenditures for the planning, land development, and construction of residential homes and communities. Redevelopment and renovation costs are non-recurring capital expenditures for significant projects, such as preparing a unit for rental. The renovation work varies, but may include flooring, cabinetry, paint, plumbing, appliances and other items required to make the unit rent ready. Routine capital expenditures are necessary non-revenue generating improvements that extend the useful life of the property and that are less frequent in nature, such as roof repairs and concrete work/asphalt resurfacing. Normally recurring capital expenditures are necessary non-revenue generating improvements that occur on a regular ongoing basis, such as flooring and appliances.

Table of Contents Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and core funds from operations (“CFFO”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT.

FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. We define FFO, consistent with the NAREIT definition, as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable real estate property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for notes receivable, preferred equity investments and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

CFFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations such as acquisition and other transaction costs, non-cash interest, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, provision for (recovery of) credit losses, non-cash returns on unconsolidated real estate funds, losses on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs (includes prepayment penalties incurred and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments of assumed debt), one-time weather-related costs, equity compensation expense, non-recurring income tax, and preferred stock accretion. We believe that CFFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our core recurring property operations. As a result, we believe that CFFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and provides a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential.

Our calculation of CFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition and other transaction costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO and CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our stockholders with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs.

Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income (loss), including net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income, including net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. 59

Table of Contents The table below presents our calculation of FFO and CFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands):

Operating cash flow, FFO and CFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and CFFO.

Presentation of this information is intended to assist the reader in comparing the sustainability of the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO or CFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO or CFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders or as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Both FFO and CFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. 60

A portion of each dividend may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. There is no assurance that we will continue to declare dividends or at this rate. Holders of OP Units, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units are entitled to receive “distribution equivalents” at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of our Class A common stock. 61

Table of Contents Our Board will determine the amount of dividends to be paid to our stockholders. The determination of our Board will be based on several factors, including funds available from operations, our capital expenditure requirements and the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to maintain our REIT status for tax purposes, we must make distributions equal to at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders each year. While our policy is generally to pay distributions from cash flow from operations, we may declare distributions in excess of funds from operations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsequent Events

Other than the items disclosed in Note 18 “Subsequent Events” to our interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2025, no material events have occurred that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements. Refer to Note 18 of our interim Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowing activities. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements. We are not subject to foreign exchange rates or commodity price risk, and all our financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below ($ in thousands) presents the principal payments and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Fair value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, net, of approximately $(10.1) million are excluded.

**** 2025 **** 2026 **** 2027 **** 2028 **** 2029 **** Thereafter **** Total ****
Mortgage Notes Payable $ 459 $ 33,316 $ 83,992 $ 5,703 $ 80,450 $ 200,080 $ 404,000
Weighted Average Interest Rate 3.98 % 4.18 % 7.17 % 5.76 % 5.12 % 5.12 % 5.48 %
Revolving Credit Facility $ $ 22,000 $ $ $ $ $ 22,000
Weighted Average Interest Rate 7.76 % 7.76 %

The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated at $401.4 million at September 30, 2025.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist at September 30, 2025; it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

At September 30, 2025, we had interest rate caps and swaps, which are not accounted for as hedges, that we primarily use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our interest rate caps and swaps mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $100.8 million of our debt.

Based on our debt outstanding and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2025, a 100-basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable rates would increase interest expense by approximately $112,000 or decrease interest expense by approximately $112,000, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2025, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the following, there have been no material changes to our potential risks and uncertainties as presented in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

Your interests could be subordinated and/or diluted by the incurrence of additional debt, the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock, including additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and by other transactions.

As of September 30, 2025, our total indebtedness was approximately $426.0 million, which includes $22.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We may incur significant additional debt in the future. The Series A Preferred Stock is subordinate to all our existing and future debt and liabilities and those of our subsidiaries. Our future debt may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to preferred stockholders in the event of a default under the debt facilities or under other circumstances. In addition, our charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, of which 30,000,000 have been classified as shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had issued and outstanding 6,087,829 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional preferred stock on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock would dilute the interests of the holders of shares of preferred stock of the applicable class or series, and any issuance of preferred stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock, or any issuance of additional indebtedness, could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on any or all of the foregoing class or series of preferred stock. We may issue preferred stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the right of holders to cause us to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon a change of control, none of the provisions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock relate to or limit our indebtedness or afford the holders of shares thereof protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including a merger or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets or business, that might adversely affect the holders of such shares.

Development, redevelopment, and construction risks could affect our profitability.

Development and redevelopment are subject to numerous risks, including the following:

we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third-party permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of opportunities;
we may incur costs that exceed our original estimates due to increased material, labor, or other factors and costs, such as those resulting from litigation, program changes, inflation, interest rate increases, the implementation of tariffs, or supply chain disruptions;
--- ---
we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of a residential community on schedule, including as a result of global supply chain disruptions, resulting in increased construction and financing costs and a decrease in expected rental revenues;
--- ---
occupancy rates and rents at a residential community may fail to meet our expectations for a number of reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions beyond our control and the development of competing communities;
--- ---
we may be unable to obtain financing, including construction loans, with favorable terms, or at all, which may cause us to delay or abandon an opportunity;
--- ---
we may abandon opportunities that we have already begun to explore, or stop projects we have already commenced, for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, we may fail to recover costs already incurred in exploring those opportunities;
--- ---

Table of Contents

we may incur liabilities to third parties during the development or redevelopment process, and we may be faced with claims for construction defects after a property has been developed;
we may face opposition from local community or political groups with respect to the development, construction, or operations at a particular site;
--- ---
health and safety incidents or other accidents on site may occur during development;
--- ---
unexpected events or circumstances may arise during the development or redevelopment process that affect the timing of completion and the cost and profitability of the development or redevelopment;
--- ---
loss of a key member of a development team could adversely affect our ability to deliver developments and redevelopments on time and within our budget;
--- ---
government restrictions, standards or regulations intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potential climate change impacts may increase in the future in the form of restrictions or additional requirements on development in certain areas; and
--- ---
environmental, social, governance and other sustainability matters and our responses to these matters could impact development.
--- ---

Some of these development risks may be heightened given current uncertain and potentially volatile market conditions. If market volatility causes economic conditions to remain unpredictable or to trend downwards, we may not achieve our expected returns on residential communities under development and we could lose some or all of our investments in those properties. In addition, the lead time required to develop, construct, and lease-up a development property may increase, which could adversely impact our projected returns or result in a termination of the development project.

The construction of real estate projects entails unique risks, including risks that the project will fail to conform to building plans, specifications, and timetables. These failures could be caused by labor strikes, weather, government regulations, and other conditions beyond our control. In addition, we may become liable for injuries and accidents occurring during the construction process that are underinsured.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (each as defined in Item 408(a) and (c), respectively, of Regulation S-K).
