During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not experience significant disruptions in our operations from the COVID-19 pandemic; however we continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how the pandemic will impact our tenants and multifamily communities. | 1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments in Real Estate In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired does not constitute a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets to be acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or set of assets is not a business. All property acquisitions to date have been accounted for as asset acquisitions. We account for asset acquisitions by allocating the total cost to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of a property are capitalized as incurred and are allocated to land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets on a relative fair value basis. Real estate assets and liabilities include land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, other personal property, in-place lease intangibles and debt. The fair values are determined using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, and include using replacement cost estimates less depreciation, discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and direct capitalization of net operating income. Real Estate Assets, Net We state real estate assets at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We capitalize costs related to the development, construction, improvement, and significant renovation of properties, which include capital replacements such as scheduled carpet replacement, new roofs, HVAC units, plumbing, concrete, masonry and other paving, pools and various exterior building improvements. We compute depreciation on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Intangible assets are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the remaining lease term. The useful lives of our real estate assets are as follows (in years): Land improvements 5-15 Buildings 30 Building improvements 5-15 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5-15 Intangible assets Over lease term We expense ordinary maintenance and repairs to operations as incurred. We capitalize significant renovations and improvements that improve and/or extend the useful life of an asset and amortize over their estimated useful life, generally five to 15 years. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets include real estate assets, acquired intangible assets, and real estate note investments. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. On an annual basis, we assess potential impairment indicators of long-lived assets. We also review for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Indicators that may cause an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant market or economic trends. When we determine the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, we determine recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the net future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. We recognize, if appropriate, an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity Real estate investments where we have significant noncontrolling influence are accounted for under the equity method. Our equity method investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity is recorded at cost, adjusted for our share of equity in earnings for each period, and reduced by distributions. We assess potential impairment of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is not considered temporary, the impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. No impairment losses were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity. Evaluation of Acquisition, Construction and Development Investments We evaluate our note investments at the time of origination to determine whether these arrangements represent, in economic substance, an investment in real estate or a loan using the guidance for acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) arrangements. This includes evaluating the risks and rewards of each arrangement and the characteristics of an owner of real estate versus those of a lender. Real Estate Note Investment We carry our real estate note investment at amortized cost with an assessment made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result of the real estate note investment or its collateral is lower than the carrying amount of the note, an allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. The amortized cost of our real estate note investment on the consolidated balance sheets consists of drawn amounts on the notes, net of unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination of the note. Costs we incur associated with originating real estate note investments are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the corresponding real estate note investment as an adjustment to interest income and are reflected on our consolidated statements of operations as real estate note investment interest. Interest income on our real estate note investment is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the note and is being collected monthly. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all cash on deposit, money market funds and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts the Company has on deposit with major commercial financial institutions. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes residents' security deposits, utility deposits, and escrow deposits held by the lender for property related items. Preferred Stock Series 2019 Preferred Stock is described in . The instrument is classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet due to the mandatory redemption feature of the instrument on a fixed date for a fixed amount. Preferred stock distributions are recorded as interest expense. Debt Financing Costs Debt financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated liability, which includes our credit facility and preferred stock. Debt financing costs are amortized over the life of the related liability through interest expense. Rental and Other Property Revenues Revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents. Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term because collection of the lease payments was probable at lease commencement. Our leases with residents may also provide that the resident reimburse us for certain costs, primarily the resident’s share of utilities expenses, incurred by the apartment community. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as we transfer a service to the lessee other than the right to use the underlying asset. We have elected the practical expedient under the GAAP leasing standard to not separate lease and non-lease components from our lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related lease component are the same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Income Taxes We intend to qualify as a REIT and to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2019. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. Organization and Offering Costs Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with any offering of our shares, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, escrow charges and transfer agent fees, dealer manager fees and selling commissions. All organization and offering costs in connection with the Offering are paid by our advisor. We will not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs related to the Offering. As of December 31, 2019, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor in connection with the Offering were approximately $10,104,000. Organization and offering costs for the Private Offering are borne by us. As of December 31, 2019, organization and offering costs incurred by us in connection with the Private Offering were approximately $393,000. |

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate | 4. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities Lector85 Investment During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we contributed $5,210,937 to our joint venture with Milhaus, LLC for the development of Lector85, a 254-unit multifamily project in Ybor City, Florida. This constituted the remaining amount of our $9,900,000 commitment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded equity in earnings of $328,900 and $894,321, respectively, from the Lector85 Investment under the hypothetical liquidation book value method. Vernon Boulevard Investment On July 24, 2020, we and a publicly-traded multifamily REIT (the “Preferred Co-Investor”) made a preferred equity investment in an entity that is developing a three-building multifamily apartment community in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York (the “Project”). Our preferred contribution was $15,000,000 (the “Vernon Boulevard Investment”). The Preferred Co-Investor contributed $40,000,000. In connection with our investment, we entered a joint venture agreement with the Preferred Co-Investor as well as an entity owned by a New York-based real estate development, investment and management firm (the “Developer”) and a foreign fund. The Developer contributed approximately $62,000,000 in common equity and is the manager of the joint venture. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Vernon Boulevard Investment has a preferred return of 13% per annum and receives a profit participation upon a liquidity event, pari passu alongside the preferred equity contribution from the Preferred Co-Investor. Decisions of the members require approval of a majority in interest of the preferred equity holders and a majority in interest of the common holders. The Vernon Boulevard Investment has an expected redemption of July 2025 and is senior to the common equity. Additional funding for the Project will come from a $225,000,000 construction loan. The total development cost is estimated to be $342,000,000. The $15,000,000 investment constitutes the full amount of our commitment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded equity in earnings of $379,167 from the Vernon Boulevard Investment under the hypothetical liquidation book value method. 5. Real Estate Note Investment During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued approximately $1,488,000 and $4,942,000, respectively, of our $10,000,000 B note with the developer of Dolce Twin Creeks, Phase II, a 366-unit multifamily project in Allen Texas, bringing the total amount issued to approximately $6,736,000. Net interest income from the Dolce B Note was $171,746 and $360,874 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. No allowance was recorded on the Dolce B Note during this period. | 4. Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Lector85 Investment At December 31, 2019, we had issued approximately $4,689,000 of our $9,900,000 preferred equity investment (the "Lector 85 Investment") in a joint venture with Milhaus, LLC ("Milhaus"). Milhaus is using the Lector85 Investment, a $34,000,000 construction loan and equity of $9,300,000 to develop Lector85, a 254-unit multifamily project in Ybor City, Florida that includes retail space. The Lector85 Investment is being drawn in stages as needed throughout the construction of the project. The primary terms of the Lector85 Investment are: Preferred Return (1) Latest Redemption Date (2) 13% August 15, 2024 (1) (2) The investment also has a special preferred return of $200,000 to be paid upon redemption. The Lector85 Investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity in earnings for our Lector85 Investment is determined under the hypothetical liquidation book value ("HLBV") method, where income is recorded based on changes in what would be received should the entity liquidate all of its assets (as valued in accordance with GAAP) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and investors based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The HLBV method is a balance sheet focused approach commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. Our equity investment agreement for the Lector85 Investment has liquidation rights and priorities that are sufficiently different from the ownership percentages such that the HLBV method was deemed appropriate. The difference between the calculated liquidated distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive our share of income or loss from the equity investment for the period. Equity in earnings from the Lector85 Investment was $272,805 for the year ended December 31, 2019. 5. Real Estate Note Investment Dolce B-Note At December 31, 2019, we had issued approximately $1,794,000 of a $10,000,000 B note to a developer (the "Dolce B Note"). The developer is using the proceeds from the Dolce B Note, additional financing in the amount of $45,500,000 (the “Dolce A Note”) and $17,900,000 in common equity to develop Dolce Twin Creeks, Phase II, a 366-unit multifamily project in Allen Texas that includes medical office space. The Dolce B Note is being drawn in stages as needed throughout the construction of the project. The primary terms of the Dolce B Note are: Annual Interest Interest Floor Maturity 9.5% + 1-mo libor 12% December 31, 2021 The developer is required to make monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity, with two six month extension options. Prepayment is permitted in whole but not in part subject to certain prepayment fees, with certain exceptions. Net interest income from the Dolce B Notes was $44,777 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No allowance was recorded on the Dolce B Note for the year ended December 31, 2019. |

The aggregate loan-to-value ratio for all advances made cannot exceed 65% at the time any advance is made. There is no limit on the amount that we can borrow so long as we maintain loan-to-value ratio and other requirements as set forth in the agreement. Each advance will be cross-collateralized with the other advances. We are permitted to sell the multifamily apartment communities that are secured by the Credit Facility individually, provided that certain debt coverage ratios and other requirements are met. We are in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2019. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||
Fair Value Disclosures | 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, related party payables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon settlement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including: • Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time); • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates); and • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

Stockholders' Equity | 9. Stockholders' Equity During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we raised approximately $7,373,000 and $20,131,000 of common stock and paid approximately $1,091,000 and $563,000 in distributions to common stockholders, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we raised approximately $27,399,000 and $66,890,000 of common stock and paid approximately $2,997,000 and $874,000 in distributions to common stockholders, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had 11,575,766 of common stock outstanding, of which 11,558,254 was Class A common stock and 17,512 was Class T common stock. LTIP Unit Awards On March 25, 2020, we amended the agreement of our Operating Partnership effective February 1, 2020 to establish LTIP Units, a new series of partnership units, and to permit the admission of additional limited partners. We also entered into LTIP Unit Award Agreements with certain executive officers and a person associated with the dealer manager for our Offering, awarding 12,438 time-based LTIP Units and a target total of 37,312 performance-based LTIP Units. The time-based LTIP Units vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% each on January 1 of the following years: 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The actual amount of each performance-based award is determined at the conclusion of the performance period, which is December 31, 2022 and will depend on the internal rate of return as defined in the award agreement. The earned performance-based LTIP Units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment with the advisor or its affiliates. The number of units was awarded at the estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.00. Time based LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested, receive the same distribution per unit as common stockholders. Performance based LTIP units receive 10% of that amount per unit on the total target units during the performance period, whereupon the participant receives an additional grant of LTIP Units the equivalent of 90% of distributions that would have been paid on the earned units during the performance period. Share based compensation for these awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $22,000 and $49,000, respectively. | 9. Stockholders' Equity Our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 1,100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are designated as common stock at $0.01 par value per share and 100,000,000 are designated as preferred stock at $0.01 par value per share. Common Stock Effective August 13, 2019, we established two classes of common stock by designating 500,000,000 shares of common stock as Class A and 500,000,000 shares of common stock as Class T. In addition, on August 13, 2019, the currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock were renamed as Class A common stock. Both classes have identical rights and privileges. Holders of our Class A and Class T common stock are entitled to receive such distributions as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential rights of outstanding preferred stock. With respect to each authorized and declared distribution, each outstanding share of common stock shall be entitled to receive the same amount. Stockholders are also entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote, including the election of directors. As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding Class A shares of 8,851,759, which includes 20,000 shares owned by CROP and 40,160 issued through our distribution reinvestment program. No Class T shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Preferred Stock The board of directors is authorized, without approval of common stockholders, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock, in one or more classes or series, with such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors approves. Effective November 8, 2019, we classified and designated 5,000,000 shares of our authorized but unissued preferred stock as shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock. The Series 2019 Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company. Holders of our Series 2019 Preferred Stock have no voting rights. See for additional information regarding these shares. Common Stock Distributions Distributions on our common stock are determined by the board of directors based on our financial condition and other relevant factors. Common stockholders may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our distribution reinvestment plan. We have paid distributions from offering proceeds and from cash flows from operations, and we may continue to fund distributions with offering proceeds. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $2,004,075, including $1,602,472 distributions paid in cash and $401,603 of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Accrued distributions declared but not yet paid as December 31, 2019 were $365,517. Distributions were $0.50 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 100% (unaudited) of distributions to stockholders were reported as a return of capital or, to the extent they exceed a stockholder’s adjusted tax basis, as gains from the sale or exchange of property. |

Related-Party Transactions Advisory Agreement Our advisor is responsible for making decisions related to the structuring, acquisition, management, financing and disposition of our assets in accordance with our investment objectives, guidelines, policies and limitations. Our advisor also manages day-to-day operations, retains property managers, and performs other duties. These activities are all subject to oversight by our board of directors. Per the terms of our advisory agreement, our advisor is entitled to receive the fees for these services which are mentioned below. Asset Management Fee Our advisor receives an annual asset management fee, paid monthly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of gross assets, as defined in the advisory agreement, as of the last day of the prior month. We incurred asset management fees of $811,395 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No asset management fees were incurred for the year ended December 30, 2018. Our advisor has agreed to waive its asset management fee each month in an amount equivalent to the 6.0% discount provided to those who purchase Class A shares through certain distribution channels as specified in the prospectus for the Offering. This is to ensure that we receive proceeds equivalent to those received for sales of shares outside of these channels. As a result, the asset management fee waived by our advisor for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $409,803. Contingent Acquisition Fee After common stockholders have received, or are deemed to have received (with respect to a merger or a listing), together as a collective group, aggregate distributions sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital, plus a cumulative, noncompounded annual return on their investment (a “Required Return”), our advisor will receive a contingent acquisition fee from us that is a percentage of the cost of investments acquired or originated by us, or the amount to be funded by us to acquire or originate loans, including acquisition and origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments plus significant capital expenditures related to the development, construction or improvement of the investment as follows: 1% contingent acquisition fee if stockholders receive a 6% Required Return; and 2% additional contingent acquisition fee if stockholders receive a 13% Required Return. The contingent acquisition fee is immediately payable when each Required Return has been met. The fee is based on all assets we have acquired even if no longer in our portfolio. To the extent we acquire any assets after satisfying the return threshold, the contingent acquisition fee will be immediately payable at the closing of the acquisition. If our advisor agreement is terminated before August 13, 2028 for any reason other than our advisor’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, our advisor will receive a 3% contingent acquisition fee less the amount of any prior payments of contingent acquisition fees to our advisor. No contingent acquisition fees were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Contingent Financing Fee After our common stockholders have received, or are deemed to have received (with respect to a merger or a listing), together as a collective group, aggregate distributions sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital, plus a Required Return of 13%, our advisor will receive from us a contingent financing fee of 1% of the original principal amount of any financing obtained or assumed by us. The contingent financing fee is payable upon satisfying the return threshold with respect to any financing obtained or assumed by us prior to satisfaction of the return threshold and at the closing of new financing following satisfaction of the return threshold. If our advisor agreement is terminated before August 13, 2028 for any reason other than the advisor’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the payment of the contingent financing fee will be immediately due and payable. No contingent financing fees were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Acquisition Expense Reimbursement Subject to the limitations contained in our charter, our advisor receives reimbursement from us for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition or origination of investments, whether or not we ultimately acquire the property or other real estate-related investment. Acquisition expenses reimbursed to our advisor during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were not significant, as we have generally incurred and paid such expenses directly. Reimbursable Operating Expenses We reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for all actual expenses paid or incurred by our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to us, including our allocable share of our advisor’s or its affiliates’ overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities, cybersecurity and IT costs; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for salaries, wages and related benefits of personnel who perform investment advisory services for us or serve as our executive officers. In addition, subject to the approval of our board of directors we may reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for costs and fees associated with providing services to us that we would otherwise engage a third party to provide. Reimbursable company operating expenses were $541,652 for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no reimbursable company operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018. Commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2020, our advisor must reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Property Management Fee Our property manager operates under the terms of separate property management agreements for each community. Our property manager receives from us a property management fee in an amount up to 3.5% of the annual gross revenues of the multifamily apartment communities that it manages. We incurred property management fees of $97,877 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No property management fees were incurred in 2018. Property management fees are presented within property operations expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Promotional Interest Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC, an affiliated entity, will receive from the Operating Partnership a promotional interest equal to 15% of net income and cash distributions, but only after our common stockholders, together as a collective group, receive in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from us sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital plus a 6% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on their invested capital. Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC, will not be required to make any capital contributions to our Operating Partnership in order to obtain the promotional interest. In addition, Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC will be entitled to a separate one-time payment upon (1) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC would have been entitled to receive as if our Operating Partnership had disposed of all of its assets at the market value of our shares of common stock as of the date of the event triggering the payment. A separate one-time payment following the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement for reasons unrelated to a liquidity event for our common stockholders will be in the form of an interest-bearing promissory note that is payable only after our common stockholders have actually received distributions in the amount required before Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC can receive the promotional interest. Provided, however, if the promissory note has not been repaid prior to a liquidity event for our common stockholders, the promissory note shall be paid in full on the date of or immediately prior to the liquidity event. Independent Director Compensation We pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $10,000. We also pay our independent directors for attending meetings as follows: (i) $500 for each board meeting attended and (ii) $500 for each committee meeting attended (if held at a different time or place than a board meeting). All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. 11. Economic Dependency Under various agreements, we have engaged or will engage our advisor or its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management services and other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. Because of these relationships, we are dependent upon our advisor. If these companies were unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to find alternative providers of these services. |

Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC, will not be required to make any capital contributions to our Operating Partnership in order to obtain the promotional interest. In addition, Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC will be entitled to a separate one-time payment upon (1) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC would have been entitled to receive as if our Operating Partnership had disposed of all of its assets at the market value of our shares of common stock as of the date of the event triggering the payment. A separate one-time payment following the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement for reasons unrelated to a liquidity event for our common stockholders will be in the form of an interest-bearing promissory note that is payable only after our common stockholders have actually received distributions in the amount required before Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC can receive the promotional interest. Provided, however, if the promissory note has not been repaid prior to a liquidity event for our common stockholders, the promissory note shall be paid in full on the date of or immediately prior to the liquidity event. Independent Director Compensation We pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $10,000. We also pay our independent directors for attending meetings as follows: (i) $500 for each board meeting attended and (ii) $500 for each committee meeting attended (if held at a different time or place than a board meeting). All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. 11. Economic Dependency Under various agreements, we have engaged or will engage our advisor or its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management services and other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. Because of these relationships, we are dependent upon our advisor. If these companies were unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to find alternative providers of these services. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Dolce B Note As of September 30, 2020, we had a remaining commitment of up to approximately $3,264,000 on the Dolce B-Note. 2980 Huron Investment On October 25, 2019, we entered into a joint venture to provide $20,000,000 of preferred equity in an entity that has purchased and intends to develop 0.84 acres in the Union Station North neighborhood in downtown Denver, Colorado (the "2980 Huron Project"). Our contributions will only be made following the contribution of the full $17,500,000 of common equity by our joint venture partner. As of September 30, 2020, no draws have been made on our $20,000,000 commitment and we do not have commencement or completion dates for the 2980 Huron Project. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, our obligation to advance the funds for our preferred equity membership interest is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions which have not been satisfied. Further, our contractual obligation to fund our preferred equity investment has expired. We can provide no assurance we will ultimately advance funds for the 2980 Huron Investment. Litigation As of September 30, 2020, we were not subject to any material litigation nor were we aware of any material litigation threatened against us. Distribution Reinvestment Plan We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan whereby stockholders may elect to have us apply their dividends and other distributions to the purchase of additional shares of common stock. Participants in the plan will acquire common stock at the per share price effective on the date of purchase (currently $10.00). Share Repurchase Programs Series 2019 Preferred Stock Upon the request of a holder of Series 2019 Preferred Stock, we may, at the sole discretion of the board of directors, repurchase their shares at the following prices, which are dependent on how long a redeeming stockholder has held each share: Share Purchase Anniversary Repurchase Price Less than 1 year $ 8.80 1 year $ 9.00 2 years $ 9.20 3 years $ 9.40 4 years $ 9.60 5 years $ 9.80 A stockholder’s death or complete disability, 2 years or more $ 10.00 No Series 2019 Preferred Stock shares were redeemed during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020. Common Stock Our board of directors has adopted a share repurchase program that permits holders of common stock to request, on a quarterly basis, that we repurchase all or any portion of their shares. We may choose to repurchase all, some or none of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased at our discretion, subject to limitations in the share repurchase plan. The total amount of aggregate repurchased shares will be limited to 5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. In addition, during any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. The repurchase price is subject to the following discounts, depending on how long a redeeming stockholder has held each share: Share Purchase Anniversary Repurchase Price as a Percentage of Estimated Value (1) Less than 1 year No repurchase allowed 1 year - 2 years 85% 3 years - 4 years 90% 5 years and thereafter 95% A stockholder’s death or complete disability, less than 2 years 95% A stockholder’s death or complete disability, 2 years or more 100% (1) For the purposes of the share repurchase program, the “estimated value per share” will initially be equal to the purchase price per share at which the original purchaser or purchasers of the shares bought its shares from us, and the purchase price per share will be adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations or any similar transaction with respect to the shares outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we redeemed 31,307 and 0 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, pursuant to our share redemption program for $268,613, which was an average repurchase price of $8.58. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program for any reason upon 15 days’ notice to our stockholders. | 12. Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2019, we had remaining commitments on our Lector85 Investment and Dolce B-Note of up to approximately $5,211,000 and $8,206,000, respectively. See and for additional information regarding these investments. 2980 Huron Investment On October 25, 2019, we entered into a joint venture (the "Huron Joint Venture") to provide a preferred equity investment in an entity that has purchased and intends to develop 0.84 acres in the Union Station North neighborhood in downtown Denver, Colorado (the "2980 Huron Project"). The 2980 Huron Project is a proposed 13-story, 299-unit high-rise multifamily apartment community that will feature several amenities, including a pool deck, fitness center, aqua lounge and a co-working space and lounge. We expect construction on the 2980 Huron Project to commence in summer 2020 and to be completed in late 2022. Our joint venture partner is CA Residential, a real estate investment and development firm. CA Residential is the managing member of the Huron Joint Venture; however, we have approval rights with respect to major decisions involving the 2980 Huron Project. We expect CA Residential or its affiliates to provide services to the 2980 Huron Project for which they will earn fees separate and in addition to any payments associated with their equity interest. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, CA Residential will use our $20,000,000 preferred equity investment, $17,500,000 in common equity and a $65,400,000 secured construction loan to fund the project. Our contributions will only be made following the contribution of the full $17,500,000 of common equity, and then will be made as project costs are incurred. As of December 31, 2019, CA Residential had not drawn on the 2980 Huron Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, our preferred equity investment has an annual preferred return of 12%, compounded monthly, and matures on the earlier of: (i) the sale of the 2980 Huron Project (ii) the maturity of the construction loan; and (iii) such earlier date as may be provided in the transaction documents, all subject to a one-year extension provided certain conditions are satisfied. In addition, we will receive an underwriting fee in the amount of 1% of our preferred equity investment at origination and will receive an exit fee in the amount of 0.5% of the investment amount on repayment. Litigation As of December 31, 2019, we were not subject to any material litigation nor were we aware of any material litigation threatened against us.

In addition, we awarded performance-based LTIP Units in an aggregate target amount of $373,120. The actual amount of each award will be determined at the conclusion of the performance period and will depend on the internal rate of return as defined in the award agreement. The earned LTIP Units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment with the advisor or its affiliates. The awards are granted effective March 25, 2020, and the number of units will be valued by reference to the estimated value per share of our common stock, currently $10.00. LTIP Unit awards, whether vested or unvested, will entitle the participant to receive current distributions from the Operating Partnership equivalent to the dividends that would be payable with respect to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the LTIP Unit award. COVID - 19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally including in the United States and has resulted in restrictions on travel and quarantines imposed. These restrictions have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally and may adversely impact the ability of our tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due. In addition, our property managers may be limited in their ability to properly maintain our properties. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including additional actions taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments in Real Estate In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired does not constitute a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets to be acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or set of assets is not a business. All property acquisitions to date have been accounted for as asset acquisitions. We account for asset acquisitions by allocating the total cost to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of a property are capitalized as incurred and are allocated to land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets on a relative fair value basis. Real estate assets and liabilities include land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, other personal property, in-place lease intangibles and debt. The fair values are determined using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, and include using replacement cost estimates less depreciation, discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and direct capitalization of net operating income. Real Estate Assets, Net We state real estate assets at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We capitalize costs related to the development, construction, improvement, and significant renovation of properties, which include capital replacements such as scheduled carpet replacement, new roofs, HVAC units, plumbing, concrete, masonry and other paving, pools and various exterior building improvements. We compute depreciation on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Intangible assets are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the remaining lease term. The useful lives of our real estate assets are as follows (in years): Land improvements 5-15 Buildings 30 Building improvements 5-15 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5-15 Intangible assets Over lease term We expense ordinary maintenance and repairs to operations as incurred. We capitalize significant renovations and improvements that improve and/or extend the useful life of an asset and amortize over their estimated useful life, generally five to 15 years. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets include real estate assets, acquired intangible assets, and real estate note investments. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. On an annual basis, we assess potential impairment indicators of long-lived assets. We also review for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Indicators that may cause an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant market or economic trends. When we determine the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, we determine recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the net future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. We recognize, if appropriate, an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity Real estate investments where we have significant noncontrolling influence are accounted for under the equity method. Our equity method investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity is recorded at cost, adjusted for our share of equity in earnings for each period, and reduced by distributions. We assess potential impairment of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is not considered temporary, the impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. No impairment losses were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity. Evaluation of Acquisition, Construction and Development Investments We evaluate our note investments at the time of origination to determine whether these arrangements represent, in economic substance, an investment in real estate or a loan using the guidance for acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) arrangements. This includes evaluating the risks and rewards of each arrangement and the characteristics of an owner of real estate versus those of a lender. Real Estate Note Investment We carry our real estate note investment at amortized cost with an assessment made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result of the real estate note investment or its collateral is lower than the carrying amount of the note, an allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. The amortized cost of our real estate note investment on the consolidated balance sheets consists of drawn amounts on the notes, net of unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination of the note. Costs we incur associated with originating real estate note investments are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the corresponding real estate note investment as an adjustment to interest income and are reflected on our consolidated statements of operations as real estate note investment interest. Interest income on our real estate note investment is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the note and is being collected monthly. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all cash on deposit, money market funds and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts the Company has on deposit with major commercial financial institutions. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes residents' security deposits, utility deposits, and escrow deposits held by the lender for property related items. Preferred Stock Series 2019 Preferred Stock is described in . The instrument is classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet due to the mandatory redemption feature of the instrument on a fixed date for a fixed amount. Preferred stock distributions are recorded as interest expense. Debt Financing Costs Debt financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated liability, which includes our credit facility and preferred stock. Debt financing costs are amortized over the life of the related liability through interest expense. Rental and Other Property Revenues Revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents. Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term because collection of the lease payments was probable at lease commencement. Our leases with residents may also provide that the resident reimburse us for certain costs, primarily the resident’s share of utilities expenses, incurred by the apartment community. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as we transfer a service to the lessee other than the right to use the underlying asset. We have elected the practical expedient under the GAAP leasing standard to not separate lease and non-lease components from our lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related lease component are the same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Income Taxes We intend to qualify as a REIT and to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2019. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. Organization and Offering Costs Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with any offering of our shares, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, escrow charges and transfer agent fees, dealer manager fees and selling commissions. All organization and offering costs in connection with the Offering are paid by our advisor. We will not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs related to the Offering. As of December 31, 2019, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor in connection with the Offering were approximately $10,104,000. Organization and offering costs for the Private Offering are borne by us. As of December 31, 2019, organization and offering costs incurred by us in connection with the Private Offering were approximately $393,000. |

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities | 4. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities Lector85 Investment During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we contributed $5,210,937 to our joint venture with Milhaus, LLC for the development of Lector85, a 254-unit multifamily project in Ybor City, Florida. This constituted the remaining amount of our $9,900,000 commitment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded equity in earnings of $328,900 and $894,321, respectively, from the Lector85 Investment under the hypothetical liquidation book value method. Vernon Boulevard Investment On July 24, 2020, we and a publicly-traded multifamily REIT (the “Preferred Co-Investor”) made a preferred equity investment in an entity that is developing a three-building multifamily apartment community in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York (the “Project”). Our preferred contribution was $15,000,000 (the “Vernon Boulevard Investment”). The Preferred Co-Investor contributed $40,000,000. In connection with our investment, we entered a joint venture agreement with the Preferred Co-Investor as well as an entity owned by a New York-based real estate development, investment and management firm (the “Developer”) and a foreign fund. The Developer contributed approximately $62,000,000 in common equity and is the manager of the joint venture. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Vernon Boulevard Investment has a preferred return of 13% per annum and receives a profit participation upon a liquidity event, pari passu alongside the preferred equity contribution from the Preferred Co-Investor. Decisions of the members require approval of a majority in interest of the preferred equity holders and a majority in interest of the common holders. The Vernon Boulevard Investment has an expected redemption of July 2025 and is senior to the common equity. Additional funding for the Project will come from a $225,000,000 construction loan. The total development cost is estimated to be $342,000,000. The $15,000,000 investment constitutes the full amount of our commitment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded equity in earnings of $379,167 from the Vernon Boulevard Investment under the hypothetical liquidation book value method. 5. Real Estate Note Investment During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued approximately $1,488,000 and $4,942,000, respectively, of our $10,000,000 B note with the developer of Dolce Twin Creeks, Phase II, a 366-unit multifamily project in Allen Texas, bringing the total amount issued to approximately $6,736,000. Net interest income from the Dolce B Note was $171,746 and $360,874 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. No allowance was recorded on the Dolce B Note during this period. | 4. Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Lector85 Investment At December 31, 2019, we had issued approximately $4,689,000 of our $9,900,000 preferred equity investment (the "Lector 85 Investment") in a joint venture with Milhaus, LLC ("Milhaus"). Milhaus is using the Lector85 Investment, a $34,000,000 construction loan and equity of $9,300,000 to develop Lector85, a 254-unit multifamily project in Ybor City, Florida that includes retail space. The Lector85 Investment is being drawn in stages as needed throughout the construction of the project. The primary terms of the Lector85 Investment are: Preferred Return (1) Latest Redemption Date (2) 13% August 15, 2024 (1) (2) The investment also has a special preferred return of $200,000 to be paid upon redemption. The Lector85 Investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity in earnings for our Lector85 Investment is determined under the hypothetical liquidation book value ("HLBV") method, where income is recorded based on changes in what would be received should the entity liquidate all of its assets (as valued in accordance with GAAP) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and investors based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The HLBV method is a balance sheet focused approach commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. Our equity investment agreement for the Lector85 Investment has liquidation rights and priorities that are sufficiently different from the ownership percentages such that the HLBV method was deemed appropriate. The difference between the calculated liquidated distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive our share of income or loss from the equity investment for the period. Equity in earnings from the Lector85 Investment was $272,805 for the year ended December 31, 2019. 5. Real Estate Note Investment Dolce B-Note At December 31, 2019, we had issued approximately $1,794,000 of a $10,000,000 B note to a developer (the "Dolce B Note"). The developer is using the proceeds from the Dolce B Note, additional financing in the amount of $45,500,000 (the “Dolce A Note”) and $17,900,000 in common equity to develop Dolce Twin Creeks, Phase II, a 366-unit multifamily project in Allen Texas that includes medical office space. The Dolce B Note is being drawn in stages as needed throughout the construction of the project. The primary terms of the Dolce B Note are: Annual Interest Interest Floor Maturity 9.5% + 1-mo libor 12% December 31, 2021 The developer is required to make monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity, with two six month extension options. Prepayment is permitted in whole but not in part subject to certain prepayment fees, with certain exceptions. Net interest income from the Dolce B Notes was $44,777 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No allowance was recorded on the Dolce B Note for the year ended December 31, 2019. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, related party payables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon settlement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including: • Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time); • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates); and • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

Stockholders' Equity | 9. Stockholders' Equity During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we raised approximately $7,373,000 and $20,131,000 of common stock and paid approximately $1,091,000 and $563,000 in distributions to common stockholders, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we raised approximately $27,399,000 and $66,890,000 of common stock and paid approximately $2,997,000 and $874,000 in distributions to common stockholders, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had 11,575,766 of common stock outstanding, of which 11,558,254 was Class A common stock and 17,512 was Class T common stock. LTIP Unit Awards On March 25, 2020, we amended the agreement of our Operating Partnership effective February 1, 2020 to establish LTIP Units, a new series of partnership units, and to permit the admission of additional limited partners. We also entered into LTIP Unit Award Agreements with certain executive officers and a person associated with the dealer manager for our Offering, awarding 12,438 time-based LTIP Units and a target total of 37,312 performance-based LTIP Units. The time-based LTIP Units vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% each on January 1 of the following years: 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The actual amount of each performance-based award is determined at the conclusion of the performance period, which is December 31, 2022 and will depend on the internal rate of return as defined in the award agreement. The earned performance-based LTIP Units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment with the advisor or its affiliates. The number of units was awarded at the estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.00. Time based LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested, receive the same distribution per unit as common stockholders. Performance based LTIP units receive 10% of that amount per unit on the total target units during the performance period, whereupon the participant receives an additional grant of LTIP Units the equivalent of 90% of distributions that would have been paid on the earned units during the performance period. Share based compensation for these awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $22,000 and $49,000, respectively. | 9. Stockholders' Equity Our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 1,100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are designated as common stock at $0.01 par value per share and 100,000,000 are designated as preferred stock at $0.01 par value per share. Common Stock Effective August 13, 2019, we established two classes of common stock by designating 500,000,000 shares of common stock as Class A and 500,000,000 shares of common stock as Class T. In addition, on August 13, 2019, the currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock were renamed as Class A common stock. Both classes have identical rights and privileges. Holders of our Class A and Class T common stock are entitled to receive such distributions as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential rights of outstanding preferred stock. With respect to each authorized and declared distribution, each outstanding share of common stock shall be entitled to receive the same amount. Stockholders are also entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote, including the election of directors. As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding Class A shares of 8,851,759, which includes 20,000 shares owned by CROP and 40,160 issued through our distribution reinvestment program. No Class T shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Preferred Stock The board of directors is authorized, without approval of common stockholders, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock, in one or more classes or series, with such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors approves. Effective November 8, 2019, we classified and designated 5,000,000 shares of our authorized but unissued preferred stock as shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock. The Series 2019 Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company. Holders of our Series 2019 Preferred Stock have no voting rights. See for additional information regarding these shares. Common Stock Distributions Distributions on our common stock are determined by the board of directors based on our financial condition and other relevant factors. Common stockholders may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our distribution reinvestment plan. We have paid distributions from offering proceeds and from cash flows from operations, and we may continue to fund distributions with offering proceeds. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $2,004,075, including $1,602,472 distributions paid in cash and $401,603 of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Accrued distributions declared but not yet paid as December 31, 2019 were $365,517. Distributions were $0.50 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 100% (unaudited) of distributions to stockholders were reported as a return of capital or, to the extent they exceed a stockholder’s adjusted tax basis, as gains from the sale or exchange of property. |

Related-Party Transactions Advisory Agreement Our advisor is responsible for making decisions related to the structuring, acquisition, management, financing and disposition of our assets in accordance with our investment objectives, guidelines, policies and limitations. Our advisor also manages day-to-day operations, retains property managers, and performs other duties. These activities are all subject to oversight by our board of directors. Per the terms of our advisory agreement, our advisor is entitled to receive the fees for these services which are mentioned below. Asset Management Fee Our advisor receives an annual asset management fee, paid monthly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of gross assets, as defined in the advisory agreement, as of the last day of the prior month. We incurred asset management fees of $811,395 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No asset management fees were incurred for the year ended December 30, 2018. Our advisor has agreed to waive its asset management fee each month in an amount equivalent to the 6.0% discount provided to those who purchase Class A shares through certain distribution channels as specified in the prospectus for the Offering. This is to ensure that we receive proceeds equivalent to those received for sales of shares outside of these channels. As a result, the asset management fee waived by our advisor for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $409,803. Contingent Acquisition Fee After common stockholders have received, or are deemed to have received (with respect to a merger or a listing), together as a collective group, aggregate distributions sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital, plus a cumulative, noncompounded annual return on their investment (a “Required Return”), our advisor will receive a contingent acquisition fee from us that is a percentage of the cost of investments acquired or originated by us, or the amount to be funded by us to acquire or originate loans, including acquisition and origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments plus significant capital expenditures related to the development, construction or improvement of the investment as follows: 1% contingent acquisition fee if stockholders receive a 6% Required Return; and 2% additional contingent acquisition fee if stockholders receive a 13% Required Return. The contingent acquisition fee is immediately payable when each Required Return has been met. The fee is based on all assets we have acquired even if no longer in our portfolio. To the extent we acquire any assets after satisfying the return threshold, the contingent acquisition fee will be immediately payable at the closing of the acquisition. If our advisor agreement is terminated before August 13, 2028 for any reason other than our advisor’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, our advisor will receive a 3% contingent acquisition fee less the amount of any prior payments of contingent acquisition fees to our advisor. No contingent acquisition fees were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Contingent Financing Fee After our common stockholders have received, or are deemed to have received (with respect to a merger or a listing), together as a collective group, aggregate distributions sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital, plus a Required Return of 13%, our advisor will receive from us a contingent financing fee of 1% of the original principal amount of any financing obtained or assumed by us. The contingent financing fee is payable upon satisfying the return threshold with respect to any financing obtained or assumed by us prior to satisfaction of the return threshold and at the closing of new financing following satisfaction of the return threshold. If our advisor agreement is terminated before August 13, 2028 for any reason other than the advisor’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the payment of the contingent financing fee will be immediately due and payable. No contingent financing fees were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Acquisition Expense Reimbursement Subject to the limitations contained in our charter, our advisor receives reimbursement from us for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition or origination of investments, whether or not we ultimately acquire the property or other real estate-related investment. Acquisition expenses reimbursed to our advisor during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were not significant, as we have generally incurred and paid such expenses directly. Reimbursable Operating Expenses We reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for all actual expenses paid or incurred by our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to us, including our allocable share of our advisor’s or its affiliates’ overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities, cybersecurity and IT costs; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for salaries, wages and related benefits of personnel who perform investment advisory services for us or serve as our executive officers. In addition, subject to the approval of our board of directors we may reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for costs and fees associated with providing services to us that we would otherwise engage a third party to provide. Reimbursable company operating expenses were $541,652 for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no reimbursable company operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018. Commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2020, our advisor must reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Property Management Fee Our property manager operates under the terms of separate property management agreements for each community. Our property manager receives from us a property management fee in an amount up to 3.5% of the annual gross revenues of the multifamily apartment communities that it manages. We incurred property management fees of $97,877 for the year ended December 31, 2019. No property management fees were incurred in 2018. Property management fees are presented within property operations expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Promotional Interest Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC, an affiliated entity, will receive from the Operating Partnership a promotional interest equal to 15% of net income and cash distributions, but only after our common stockholders, together as a collective group, receive in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from us sufficient to provide a return of their invested capital plus a 6% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on their invested capital. Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC, will not be required to make any capital contributions to our Operating Partnership in order to obtain the promotional interest. In addition, Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC will be entitled to a separate one-time payment upon (1) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange or (2) the occurrence of certain events that result in the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement, in each case for an amount that Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC would have been entitled to receive as if our Operating Partnership had disposed of all of its assets at the market value of our shares of common stock as of the date of the event triggering the payment. A separate one-time payment following the termination or non-renewal of our advisory agreement for reasons unrelated to a liquidity event for our common stockholders will be in the form of an interest-bearing promissory note that is payable only after our common stockholders have actually received distributions in the amount required before Cottonwood Communities Advisors Promote, LLC can receive the promotional interest. Provided, however, if the promissory note has not been repaid prior to a liquidity event for our common stockholders, the promissory note shall be paid in full on the date of or immediately prior to the liquidity event. Independent Director Compensation We pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $10,000. We also pay our independent directors for attending meetings as follows: (i) $500 for each board meeting attended and (ii) $500 for each committee meeting attended (if held at a different time or place than a board meeting). All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. 11. Economic Dependency Under various agreements, we have engaged or will engage our advisor or its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management services and other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. Because of these relationships, we are dependent upon our advisor. If these companies were unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to find alternative providers of these services. |

Litigation As of September 30, 2020, we were not subject to any material litigation nor were we aware of any material litigation threatened against us.

We may choose to repurchase all, some or none of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased at our discretion, subject to limitations in the share repurchase plan. The total amount of aggregate repurchased shares will be limited to 5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. In addition, during any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year.

Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2019, we had remaining commitments on our Lector85 Investment and Dolce B-Note of up to approximately $5,211,000 and $8,206,000, respectively. See and for additional information regarding these investments. 2980 Huron Investment On October 25, 2019, we entered into a joint venture (the "Huron Joint Venture") to provide a preferred equity investment in an entity that has purchased and intends to develop 0.84 acres in the Union Station North neighborhood in downtown Denver, Colorado (the "2980 Huron Project"). The 2980 Huron Project is a proposed 13-story, 299-unit high-rise multifamily apartment community that will feature several amenities, including a pool deck, fitness center, aqua lounge and a co-working space and lounge. We expect construction on the 2980 Huron Project to commence in summer 2020 and to be completed in late 2022. Our joint venture partner is CA Residential, a real estate investment and development firm. CA Residential is the managing member of the Huron Joint Venture; however, we have approval rights with respect to major decisions involving the 2980 Huron Project. We expect CA Residential or its affiliates to provide services to the 2980 Huron Project for which they will earn fees separate and in addition to any payments associated with their equity interest. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, CA Residential will use our $20,000,000 preferred equity investment, $17,500,000 in common equity and a $65,400,000 secured construction loan to fund the project. Our contributions will only be made following the contribution of the full $17,500,000 of common equity, and then will be made as project costs are incurred. As of December 31, 2019, CA Residential had not drawn on the 2980 Huron Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, our preferred equity investment has an annual preferred return of 12%, compounded monthly, and matures on the earlier of: (i) the sale of the 2980 Huron Project (ii) the maturity of the construction loan; and (iii) such earlier date as may be provided in the transaction documents, all subject to a one-year extension provided certain conditions are satisfied. In addition, we will receive an underwriting fee in the amount of 1% of our preferred equity investment at origination and will receive an exit fee in the amount of 0.5% of the investment amount on repayment. Litigation As of December 31, 2019, we were not subject to any material litigation nor were we aware of any material litigation threatened against us. Distribution Reinvestment Plan We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan whereby common stockholders may elect to have us apply their dividends and other distributions to the purchase of additional shares of common stock.

The repurchase price is subject to the following discounts, depending on how long a redeeming stockholder has held each share: Share Purchase Anniversary Repurchase Price as a Percentage of Estimated Value (1) Less than 1 year No repurchase allowed 1 year - 2 years 85 % 3 years - 4 years 90 % 5 years and thereafter 95 % A stockholder’s death or complete disability, less than 2 years 95 % A stockholder’s death or complete disability, 2 years or more 100 % (1) For the purposes of the share repurchase program, the “estimated value per share” will initially be equal to the purchase price per share at which the original purchaser or purchasers of the shares bought its shares from us, and the purchase price per share will be adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations or any similar transaction with respect to the shares outstanding. No shares were redeemed during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program for any reason upon 15 days’ notice to our stockholders. |

The Amended OP Agreement establishes the terms of a new series of partnership units designated as LTIP Units, which we intend to issue annually as equity awards to certain of our executive officers and registered persons associated with the dealer manager for the Offering. In addition, the Amended OP Agreement reflects certain other amendments to the original agreement to permit the admission of limited partners to the Operating Partnership in addition to the current sole limited partner, Cottonwood Communities Investor, LLC. Grant of LTIP Unit Awards On March 25, 2020, we entered LTIP Unit Award Agreements with Enzio Cassinis, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Adam Larson, our Chief Financial Officer, as well as certain other executive officers and registered persons associated with the dealer manager for the Offering, with respect to the grant of LTIP Unit awards as recommended by our compensation committee and approved by our board of directors. Including grants to our named executive officers, we awarded an aggregate of $124,380 time-based LTIP Units that will vest approximately one-quarter of the awarded amount on January 1, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. In addition, we awarded performance-based LTIP Units in an aggregate target amount of $373,120. The actual amount of each award will be determined at the conclusion of the performance period and will depend on the internal rate of return as defined in the award agreement. The earned LTIP Units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment with the advisor or its affiliates. The awards are granted effective March 25, 2020, and the number of units will be valued by reference to the estimated value per share of our common stock, currently $10.00. LTIP Unit awards, whether vested or unvested, will entitle the participant to receive current distributions from the Operating Partnership equivalent to the dividends that would be payable with respect to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the LTIP Unit award. COVID - 19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally including in the United States and has resulted in restrictions on travel and quarantines imposed. These restrictions have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally and may adversely impact the ability of our tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due. In addition, our property managers may be limited in their ability to properly maintain our properties. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including additional actions taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. |

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on for the period ending December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC. | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Investment in Real Estate / Real Estate Assets, Net | Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity Real estate investments where we have significant noncontrolling influence are accounted for under the equity method. Our equity method investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity is recorded at cost, adjusted for our share of equity in earnings for each period, and reduced by distributions. We assess potential impairment of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is not considered temporary, the impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. No impairment losses were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity. Evaluation of Acquisition, Construction and Development Investments We evaluate our note investments at the time of origination to determine whether these arrangements represent, in economic substance, an investment in real estate or a loan using the guidance for acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) arrangements. This includes evaluating the risks and rewards of each arrangement and the characteristics of an owner of real estate versus those of a lender. Real Estate Note Investment We carry our real estate note investment at amortized cost with an assessment made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result of the real estate note investment or its collateral is lower than the carrying amount of the note, an allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. The amortized cost of our real estate note investment on the consolidated balance sheets consists of drawn amounts on the notes, net of unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination of the note. Costs we incur associated with originating real estate note investments are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the corresponding real estate note investment as an adjustment to interest income and are reflected on our consolidated statements of operations as real estate note investment interest. Interest income on our real estate note investment is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the note and is being collected monthly. Rental and Other Property Revenues Revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents. Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term because collection of the lease payments was probable at lease commencement. Our leases with residents may also provide that the resident reimburse us for certain costs, primarily the resident’s share of utilities expenses, incurred by the apartment community. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as we transfer a service to the lessee other than the right to use the underlying asset. We have elected the practical expedient under the GAAP leasing standard to not separate lease and non-lease components from our lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related lease component are the same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. | |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all cash on deposit, money market funds and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts the Company has on deposit with major commercial financial institutions. | |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes residents' security deposits, utility deposits, and escrow deposits held by the lender for property related items. | |
Preferred Stock | Preferred Stock Series 2019 Preferred Stock is described in . The instrument is classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet due to the mandatory redemption feature of the instrument on a fixed date for a fixed amount. Preferred stock distributions are recorded as interest expense. | |
Debt Financing Costs | Debt Financing Costs Debt financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated liability, which includes our credit facility and preferred stock. Debt financing costs are amortized over the life of the related liability through interest expense. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We intend to qualify as a REIT and to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2019. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. | |
Organization and Offering Costs | Organization and Offering Costs All organization and offering costs in connection with the offering of our common stock are paid by our advisor. We will not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs. As of September 30, 2020, our advisor incurred approximately $13,341,000 in organizational and offering costs from the issuance of common stock. | Organization and Offering Costs Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with any offering of our shares, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, escrow charges and transfer agent fees, dealer manager fees and selling commissions. All organization and offering costs in connection with the Offering are paid by our advisor. We will not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs related to the Offering. As of December 31, 2019, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor in connection with the Offering were approximately $10,104,000.
