Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. There have been no nine September 30, 2021 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 three nine September 30, 2021 2020 December 31, 2020 2019 10. not may December 31, 2021, Principles of Consolidation The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation first not September 30, 2021 not Real Estate Investments Upon acquisition, we evaluate our acquired SFR properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. Since substantially all of the fair value of our acquired properties is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and the acquisitions do not The allocation of Total Consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 820, Fair Value Measurement 820” 6 third one one 2 Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. The Company also incurs costs to prepare acquired properties for rental. These costs are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred, unless the renovation meets the Company’s capitalization criteria. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table: Land Not depreciated Buildings 27.5 Improvements (1) 15 Fixtures (1) (2) 5 7 Intangible lease assets 6 Capitalized building maintenance 3 15 ( 1 Disclosed in the table is the typical depreciable life used by the Company.

As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe any risks are mitigated through the size of the financial institutions at which our cash balances are held. Restricted cash represents cash deposited in accounts related to security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums and deductibles and other lender-required escrows. Amounts deposited in the reserve accounts associated with the loans can only be used as provided for in the respective loan agreements, and security deposits held pursuant to lease agreements are required to be segregated. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of such amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): September 30, 2021 2020 December 31, 2020 Cash $ 54,786 $ 6,423 $ 31,225 Restricted cash 18,492 3,778 5,871 Total cash and restricted cash $ 73,278 $ 10,201 $ 37,096 Revenue Recognition The Company’s primary operations consist of rental income earned from its residents under lease agreements typically with terms of one 842, Leases January 1, 2019, not Gains or losses on sales of properties are recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610 20, Other Income 610 20 In April 2020, 19 842. may not 19, not not not 19 Redeemable Securities Included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and 6.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. There have been no nine September 30, 2021 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. The Company also incurs costs to prepare acquired properties for rental. These costs are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred, unless the renovation meets the Company’s capitalization criteria. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table: Land Not depreciated Buildings 27.5 Improvements (1) 15 Fixtures (1) (2) 5 7 Intangible lease assets 6 Capitalized building maintenance 3 15 ( 1 Disclosed in the table is the typical depreciable life used by the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and restricted cash The Company maintains cash at multiple financial institutions and, at times, these balances exceed federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe any risks are mitigated through the size of the financial institutions at which our cash balances are held. Restricted cash represents cash deposited in accounts related to security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums and deductibles and other lender-required escrows. Amounts deposited in the reserve accounts associated with the loans can only be used as provided for in the respective loan agreements, and security deposits held pursuant to lease agreements are required to be segregated. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of such amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): September 30, 2021 2020 December 31, 2020 Cash $ 54,786 $ 6,423 $ 31,225 Restricted cash 18,492 3,778 5,871 Total cash and restricted cash $ 73,278 $ 10,201 $ 37,096
