Dear Stockholder:
Thank you for your investment in Inland Residential Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”).
We are pleased to share our most recent acquisition. On May 3, 2017, we, through IRESI Vernon Hills Commons, L.L.C., our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Commons Subsidiary”), acquired a fee simple interest in a 105,442 square foot, 85-unit apartment community with a 10,609 square foot extended first floor retail space known as Commons at Town Center, located in Vernon Hills, Illinois. The Commons Subsidiary purchased this property from VHTC Lot 10 LLC, an unaffiliated third party, for $23 million, plus closing costs. We funded the purchase by obtaining two fixed rate loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $23 million.
Some characteristics we found attractive in determining to acquire Commons at Town Center include:
• The residential portion of the property was 96.5% occupied, with 82 out of 85 residential units leased, as of March 31, 2017.
• The retail portion of the property was 100% occupied, with all five retail units leased, as of March 31, 2017.
• The property is located in an area with desirable schools.
• The property provides easy access to shopping and public transportation.
• The surrounding one- and three- mile area has home values over $500,000.
Please be advised that, for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2017, our total operating expenses as a percentage of average invested assets was approximately 3.1%. Our board of directors, including all of our independent directors, has reviewed our total operating expenses for this period and unanimously determined that, because we are in the early stages of acquiring properties, the amount in excess of 2% of our average invested assets was justified. Likewise, the board determined that, to the extent the Business Manager paid such operating expenses on our behalf, the Business Manager is entitled to reimbursement.
Annual Stockholders Meeting and Proxy Statement
All stockholders of record as of March 31, 2017 should have received their Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

Stockholders may vote in person at the meeting or by proxy. If you have not done so already, we encourage you to vote your proxy as soon as possible as every vote matters.
