Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows: Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows: Subsidiaries Number of Units Property Location Resource Apartment REIT III Holdings, LLC N/A N/A Resource Apartment REIT III OP, LP N/A N/A RRE Payne Place Holdings, LLC N/A ( 1) N/A ( 1) RRE Bay Club Holdings, LLC 220 Jacksonville, FL RRE Tramore Village Holdings, LLC 324 Austell, GA RRE Matthews Reserve Holdings, LLC 212 Matthews, NC RRE Kensington Holdings, LLC 204 Riverview, FL RRE Wimbledon Oaks Holdings, LLC 248 Arlington, TX RRE Summit Holdings, LLC 141 Alexandria, VA 1,349 N/A - Not applicable (1) Property was sold on March 5, 2020. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Segment Reporting The Company does not evaluate performance on a relationship-specific or transactional basis and does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single operating segment for reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Concentration of Risk At June 30, 2020, the Company's real estate investments in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia represented 28%, 22%, and 19%, respectively, of the net book value of its rental property assets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, adverse weather events, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for multifamily rentals resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company's operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and the adoption had no impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures since the Company did not have instruments subject to this guidance at the adoption or at June 30, 2020. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment", which alters the current goodwill impairment testing procedures. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements due to the fact that the Company did not have any goodwill subject to this guidance at the adoption or at June 30, 2020. In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements due to the fact there were no required changes to the Company’s disclosures. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the six months ended , the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. On April 10, 2020, FASB issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each lease to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the lease and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance to those leases. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deferrals of lease payments) as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company has not elected to apply the lease modification guidance to our leases. To date, the impact of lease concessions granted has not had a material effect on the financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of lease concessions and the appropriate accounting for those concessions. Real Estate Investments The Company records acquired real estate at fair value on their respective acquisition dates. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and depreciates the asset using the straight line method. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class as follows: Buildings 27.5 years Building improvements 5.0 to 27.5 years Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3.0 to 5.0 years Tenant improvements Shorter of lease term or expected useful life Lease intangibles Weighted average remaining term of related leases Improvements and replacements in excess of $1,000 are capitalized when they have a useful life greater than or equal to one year. Construction management fees are capitalized along with the related asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long Lived Assets When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. The review also considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under ASU No, 2017-01 are accounted for as asset acquisitions. In most cases, the Company believes acquisitions of real estate will no longer be considered a business combination as in most cases substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of tangible assets that are physically attached to each other (land and building). However, if the Company determines that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or in a group of similar identifiable assets, the Company will then perform an assessment to determine whether the set is a business by using the framework outlined in the ASU. If the Company determines that the acquired asset is not a business, the Company will allocate the cost of the acquisition including transaction costs to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their related fair value. Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets, consisting of land, building, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The Company amortizes any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, which the Company expects will range from one month to one year. The Company measures the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management’s estimates of value are determined by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors to be considered in the analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors. The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the weighted average remaining term of the underlying leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the fair value of these assets and liabilities, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net income. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, where collection has been considered probable, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases for residential rental properties are $12.5 million and approximately $488,000 for the 12 month periods ending June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and none thereafter. Revenue is primarily derived from the rental of residential housing units for which the Company receives minimum rents and utility reimbursements pursuant to underlying tenant lease agreements. The Company also receives other ancillary fees for administration of leases, late payments, amenities, and revenue sharing arrangements for cable income from contracts with cable providers at the Company's properties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company records the utility reimbursement income and ancillary charges in the period when the performance obligation is completed, either at a point in time or on a monthly basis as the service is utilized. Tenant Receivables Tenant receivables are stated in the consolidated financial statements as amounts due from tenants net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables. Payment terms vary and receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Company’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off receivables when they become uncollectible. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $4,123 and $3,927 of allowances for uncollectible receivables, respectively. Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2017. As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate U.S. federal or state income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies, on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which it lost its REIT qualification. Accordingly, the Company’s failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distribution to its stockholders. The dividends paid deduction of a REIT for qualifying dividends to its stockholders is computed using the Company’s taxable income as opposed to net income reported on the financial statements. Taxable income, generally, differs from net income reported on the financial statements because the determination of taxable income is based on tax provisions and not financial accounting principles. The Company may elect to treat certain of its subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"). In general, a TRS may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not treat any of its subsidiaries as a TRS. While a TRS may generate net income, a TRS can declare dividends to the Company which will be included in the Company’s taxable income and necessitate a distribution to its stockholders. Conversely, if the Company retains earnings at a TRS level, no distribution is required and the Company can increase book equity of the consolidated entity. The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in other states in which the Company has significant business operations. The Company is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities. The Company is not subject to IRS examination for the tax return years 2015 and prior. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period for each share class. Diluted net income (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted to common stock. None of the 50,000 shares of convertible stock (discussed in Note 10) are included in the diluted earnings per share calculations because the necessary conditions for conversion have not been satisfied as of June 30, 2020 (were such date to represent the end of the contingency period). For the purposes of calculating earnings per share, all common shares and per share information in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the effect of any stock dividends and stock splits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, common shares potentially issuable to settle distributions payable are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share calculations, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, "Earnings Per Share", the Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on dividends declared and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends declared during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares based on their relative percentage of each class of shares to the total number of outstanding shares. The Company did not have any participating securities outstanding other than Class A common stock, Class T common stock, Class R common stock and Class I common stock during the periods presented (see Note 10). Organization and Offering Costs Organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and distribution and shareholder servicing fees) of the Company were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor, the Company was obligated to reimburse the Advisor for organization and other offering costs paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company, up to an amount equal to 4.0% of gross offering proceeds as of the termination of the initial public offering as the Company raised less than $500.0 million in the primary portion of the initial public offering. The Advisory Agreement provides that the Company is not responsible for the repayment of any unreimbursed organization and offering expenses or operational expenses incurred by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf through March 31, 2018 until after the termination of the primary portion of the Company’s ongoing initial public offering. Additionally, such unreimbursed organization and offering expenses or operational expenses incurred or paid by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf through March 31, 2018 are required to be reimbursed ratably starting after the termination of the primary portion of the Company’s ongoing initial public offering through April 30, 2021 for organization and offering expenses and through April 30, 2020 for operating expenses. These payments began on November 1, 2019. Organization costs, which included all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate, were expensed as incurred. Prior to the Company breaking escrow, the Advisor incurred approximately $104,000 of formation and other operating expenses on the Company's behalf, which will not be reimbursed to the Advisor. Outstanding Class T shares issued in the Company's primary offering were subject to an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 1% of the estimated NAV of the share (1% of purchase price prior to June 29, 2018) for up to five years from the date on which such share is issued. Effective November 1, 2019, the Company ceased accruing the distribution and shareholder servicing fee on each Class T share as the Company had reached certain underwriting compensation limits. Outstanding Class R shares issued in the Company's primary offering were also subject to an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 1% of the estimated NAV of the share (1% of purchase price prior to June 29, 2018). Effective November 1, 2019, following the termination of the initial public offering, each of the outstanding Class R shares of common stock automatically converted into a Class I share of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary for the Class R shares and the Company ceased accruing the distribution and shareholder servicing fee with respect to Class R shares as the Company no longer had any Class R shares outstanding. The Company initially recorded distribution and shareholder servicing fees as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and the related liability in an amount equal to the maximum fees payable in relation to the Class T and Class R shares on the date the shares were issued. The liability was relieved over time, as the fees were paid to the Dealer Manager. Upon termination of the offering, the fees were no longer payable as described above and the liability was adjusted accordingly. |
