NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

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

As of March 31, 2024, the Company held twenty real estate investments, consisting of twelve consolidated investments and eight preferred equity and loan investments. The twenty investments represent an aggregate of 4,366 residential units, comprised of 2,745 consolidated units, of which 170 units are under development, and 1,621 units through preferred equity and loan investments. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.8% occupied.

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

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

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company conducts its operations through Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., its operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which it is the sole general partner. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.34% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (58.20% is held by holders of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) and 11.14% is held by holders of the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), including 3.68% which are not vested as of March 31, 2024).

Certain amounts in prior year financial statement presentation have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Real Estate Investments and Preferred Equity Investments

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

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

8

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

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

For investments that meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, except as noted regarding Note B of the Wayford at Pringle Loan Financing (refer to Note 6), the Company classifies each preferred equity investment as a held-to-maturity debt security as the Company has the intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity. The Company earns a fixed return on these investments which is included within preferred returns on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the collectability of each preferred equity investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses. The Company accounts for these investments as preferred equity investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its consolidated balance sheets.

For investments that do not meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate. The Company recognizes interest income on its notes receivable on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected. Costs incurred to originate its notes receivable are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related notes receivable. The Company evaluates the collectability of each loan investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the CECL section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Uncertainty Due to Economic Volatility

The Company’s results of operations in the future may be directly or indirectly affected by uncertainties such as the effects of inflation and related volatility in the market. As inflation accelerated rapidly in the first half of 2023, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates a total of four times during 2023 to curb the effects of rising inflation. While the Federal Reserve has held rates steady since July 2023, there can be no assurances that interest rates will not rise again, and the Company’s operating costs, including utilities and payroll, may increase as a result of increases in inflation. Rising interest rates cause uncertainty in credit and capital markets which could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The long-term impact of these economic developments will largely depend on any future action by the Federal Reserve, future laws that may be enacted, the impact on job growth and the broader economy, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of economic volatility on all aspects of its business.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2024 for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to these policies.

9

Interim Financial Information

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

The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.

Use of Estimates

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 permit entities to elect certain optional expedients in connection with reference rate reform activities and their impact on debt, contract modifications and derivative instruments as it is expected the global market will transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately, though as the sunset date of Topic 848 was deferred through the issuance of ASU No. 2022-06, such amendments may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur through December 31, 2024. The Company has not elected the optional expedients, though it continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require additional disclosures regarding reportable segments, including a segment’s significant expenses on both an annual and interim basis. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its financial disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require additional disclosure with respect to the effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company estimates provision for credit losses on its loans (notes receivable) and preferred equity investments under CECL. This method is based on expected credit losses for the life of the investment as of each balance sheet date. The method for calculating the estimate of expected credit loss considers historical experience and current conditions for similar loans and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future.

The Company estimates its provision for credit losses using a collective (pool) approach for investments with similar risk characteristics, such as collateral and duration of investment. In measuring the CECL provision for investments that share similar characteristics, the Company applies a default rate to the investments for the remaining loan or preferred equity investment hold period. As the Company does not have a significant historical population of loss data on its loan and preferred equity investments, the Company’s default rate utilized for CECL is based on an external historical loss rate for commercial real estate loans.

In addition to analyzing investments as a pool, the Company performs an individual investment assessment of expected credit losses. If it is determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, or a foreclosure is probable, or the Company expects repayment through the sale of the collateral, the Company calculates expected credit losses based on the value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date. During this review process, if the Company determines that it is probable that it will not be able to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of an investment, that loan or preferred equity investment is not considered fully recoverable and a provision for credit loss is recorded.

In estimating the value of the underlying collateral when determining if a loan or preferred equity investment is fully recoverable, the Company evaluates estimated future cash flows to be generated from the collateral underlying the investment. The inputs and assumptions utilized to estimate the future cash flows of the underlying collateral are based upon the Company’s evaluation of the operating results, economy, market trends, and other factors, including judgments regarding costs to complete any construction activities, lease-up and occupancy rates, rental rates, and capitalization rates utilized to estimate the projected cash flows at the disposition. The Company may also obtain a third-party valuation which may value the collateral through an “as-is” or “stabilized value” methodology. If upon completion of the valuation the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the investment is less than the net carrying value, the Company records a provision for credit loss on that loan or preferred equity investment. As the investment no longer displays the characteristics that are similar to those of the pool of loans or preferred equity investments, the investment is removed from the CECL collective (pool) analysis described above.

Peak Housing Financing

Prior to 2024, the Company provided a mezzanine loan to the portfolio owner in Peak JV 3, which is owned through a joint venture between the Company and the operating partnership of Peak Housing REIT (the “Peak REIT OP”). The entity through which the Company provided the loan (the lender-entity) and the entity to which the loan was provided (the property owner) consolidate into the Company’s financial statements. As such, the loan receivable balance and the loan payable balance, and the loan interest income and loan interest expense attributable to the Company, are eliminated through consolidation on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. The Company (as lender entity) recognizes Peak REIT OP’s portion of interest expense on the loan as income and this amount is reflected in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The mezzanine loan matures on June 30, 2024, has one six-month extension option subject to certain conditions, and can be prepaid without penalty. At December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the loan provided by the Company was $15.9 million. During the first quarter 2024, proceeds from the sales of 19 units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio (refer to Note 4 for further information) have been used to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan to $13.5 million at March 31, 2024.

Wayford at Pringle Loan Financing

On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to provide a loan in the maximum aggregate amount up to $30.1 million (the “Pringle Loan”) to an unaffiliated, third-party borrower to acquire 102-build for rent, single-family residential units in Charlotte, North Carolina to be known as Wayford at Pringle. The project is currently under development, and the Company will disburse loan proceeds to the borrower for unit acquisitions as construction is completed. The Pringle Loan is comprised of two notes as follows: Note A in the maximum principal amount up to $22.3 million and Note B in the maximum principal amount up to $7.8 million. Note B has certain conversion options that require the consent of both parties before such options can be exercised; neither party has unilateral control to enforce a conversion. The Company has evaluated both notes and concluded that loan accounting treatment is appropriate for Note A, whereas Note B, due to the conversion options, meets the criteria of a debt security and is considered as available for sale. The Company records both notes in notes and accrued interest receivable, net in its consolidated balance sheets, and the interest income earned on both notes is recorded in interest income from loan investments in its consolidated statements of operations.

Note A and Note B both have an initial maturity of January 12, 2026 and contain four (4) six-month extension options subject to certain conditions. Note A bears interest on the amount drawn at the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.50% through initial maturity, and if extended, such rate becomes subject to a 5.31% rate floor. Note A has regular monthly payments that are interest-only during the term of the loan, and no prepayment of Note A, in part or in whole, can be made prior to prepayment of Note B subject to certain conditions. On Note B, interest shall accrue on the amount drawn at a rate of 15.00% per annum, compounded monthly, with outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts due upon maturity. Note B can be prepaid in part or in whole subject to minimum interest. As of March 31, 2024, construction was completed on 37 of the total 102 units and the Company had funded $1.8 million of Note A and fully funded the $7.8 million of Note B. There were no unrealized gains or losses associated with Note B as of March 31, 2024 as the Company determined that the $7.8 million face value of Note B represents its fair value at such measurement date.

The Woods at Forest Hill Loan Financing

In December 2023, the Company assumed an $8.3 million senior loan (the “Woods Loan”) made to an unaffiliated third-party borrower for 76-build for rent, single family residential units in Forest Hill, Texas. The Woods Loan investment was in addition to the Company’s existing preferred equity investment in The Woods at Forest Hill. The borrower is currently in the process of selling the individual units collateralizing the Company’s loan and preferred equity investments. With each unit sale, the borrower is repaying the loan and accrued interest, after consideration for partnership operating expenses and reserve requirements, until the Company’s full loan investment has been repaid in full. Subsequently, pursuant to the waterfall of the joint venture agreement, the remaining available proceeds shall be used to repay the Company’s preferred equity investment, including any accrued but unpaid preferred returns, until the investment has been repaid in full.

During the first quarter 2024, the Company received paydowns on the Woods Loan in the aggregate amount of $4.1 million, which included principal investment of $4.0 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million. The paydowns on the Woods Loan were a result of the sales by the borrower of 20 of the 76 units that collateralized the Company’s loan and preferred equity investments. At March 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding principal investment in the Woods Loan was $4.3 million, with a remaining 56 units as collateral underlying the Company’s loan and preferred equity investments.

Deferred financing costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related financing agreements, as applicable, which approximates the effective interest method.

Fair value adjustments of debt

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

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Debt Modification Costs

Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change (i.e., a 10% or greater difference in the cash flows between instruments) in the terms of an underlying debt agreement, the Company writes-off any unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments related to the original debt that was extinguished. Prepayment penalties incurred on the early repayment of debt and costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized would also be included within loss on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no loss on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The net book value of real estate assets providing collateral for these above borrowings, including the revolving credit facilities (refer to Note 8 for further information), was $403.4 million at March 31, 2024.

The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties are nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which the Company would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, the Company or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses. The mortgage loans have a period where a prepayment fee or yield maintenance would be required.

Note 10 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

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

21

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to affiliates, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. The carrying values of notes receivable approximate fair value because stated interest rate terms are consistent with interest rate terms on new deals with similar leverage and risk profiles. The fair values of notes receivable are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs that are utilized in their respective valuations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments are valued using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market-standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts which would occur if floating interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The floating interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.The inputs used in the valuation of interest rate caps and swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Debt

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for similar liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is estimated at $116.8 million and $93.0 million, respectively, compared to the carrying amounts, before adjustments for deferred financing costs, net, of $121.5 million and $97.6 million, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based on the Company’s current interest rates (Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy) for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Note 11 – Derivative Financial Instruments

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

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

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

22

At March 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate caps and swaps which effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $128.9 million of the Company’s debt. The following table summarizes the Company's derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

	Interest Rate Caps		Interest Rate Swaps
Notional balance	$	145,473	$	10,932
Number of instruments		2		2
Earliest maturity date (1)		May 2024		March 2026
Latest maturity date		May 2025		August 2028

(1) In April 2024, the Company entered into a new interest rate cap agreement that becomes effective upon the May 2024 maturity date of the current rate cap and is in the same notional amount as the current rate cap.

The table below presents the classification and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands):

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions

Management Agreement

In October 2022, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership and Bluerock Homes Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), which is an affiliate of Bluerock Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”), pursuant to which the Manager provides for the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager provides the Company with a management team and appropriate support personnel to provide such management services to the Company. The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs under the supervision and direction of the Company’s board of directions (the “Board”). Specifically, the Manager is responsible for (i) the selection, purchase and sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, (ii) the Company’s financing activities, and (iii) providing the Company with advisory services, in each case in conformity with the investment guidelines and other policies approved and monitored by its Board. The Management Agreement expires on October 6, 2024 and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term on each anniversary date thereafter unless earlier terminated or not renewed in accordance with the terms thereof.

23

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded base management fees of $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the first quarter 2024, the Company will pay the base management fee to the Manager as one half (50%) in C-LTIP Units and the remainder in cash; for the first quarter 2023, the Company paid the full base management fee to the Manager through the issuance of C-LTIP Units. There have been no incentive fee expenses incurred during 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded operating expense reimbursements of $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the first quarter 2024, the Company will pay the full operating expense reimbursement to the Manager in cash; for the first quarter 2023, the Company paid the full operating expense reimbursement to the Manager through the issuance of C-LTIP Units. The operating expense reimbursement for the first quarter 2024 included a $0.8 million reimbursement to the Manager for accounting and legal services. Prior to the fourth quarter 2023, the Manager elected to not seek reimbursement for accounting and legal services during the Company's first year of operations. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded direct expense reimbursements of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which were paid to the Manager in cash. Both the operating and direct expense reimbursements were recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The table below presents the related party amounts payable to the Manager at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement (amounts in thousands). The Company records these payables in due to affiliates in its consolidated balance sheets.

Amounts payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Base management fee	$	2,071	$	2,048
Operating and direct expense reimbursements		1,272		1,365
Offering expense reimbursements		59		96
Total amounts payable to the Manager	$	3,402	$	3,509

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no receivables due from any related parties.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

In conjunction with the offering of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (refer to Note 13 for further information), the Company engaged a related party as dealer manager, and pays up to 10% of the gross offering proceeds from the offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The dealer manager re-allows the substantial majority of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers and incurs costs in excess of the 10%, which costs are borne by the dealer manager without reimbursement by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.7 million in selling commissions and discounts and $0.3 million in dealer manager fees and discounts related to its offering of Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the Manager was, or shall be, reimbursed for offering costs of $0.2 million in conjunction with the offering of Series A Preferred Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The selling commissions, dealer manager fees, discounts and reimbursements for offering costs were recorded as a reduction to the proceeds of the offering.

Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

Net Loss Per Common Share

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

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

The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2024		2023
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(1,020)	$	(1,540)
Weighted average common shares outstanding (1)		3,848,494		3,843,502
Potential dilutive shares (2)		—		—
Weighted average common shares outstanding and potential dilutive shares (1)		3,848,494		3,843,502
Net loss per common share, basic	$	(0.27)	$	(0.40)
Net loss per common share, diluted	$	(0.27)	$	(0.40)

(1) Amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A and Class C common stock outstanding.

(2) For the three months ended March 31, 2024, potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 4,531 shares are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive.

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

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 395,628 shares of 6.0%Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under its continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $8.6 million after (i) commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts of approximately $1.0 million, and (ii) costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $0.3 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had issued a total of 832,303 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $17.3 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not redeemed any shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

25

Class A Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 13, 2024, the Board authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company expects to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock through open market transactions subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of March 31, 2024, no repurchases of Class A common stock had been made by the Company.

Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units

As of March 31, 2024, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.34% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (7,365,735 OP Units, or 58.20%, is held by OP Unit holders, and 1,410,986 LTIP Units, or 11.14%, is held by LTIP Unit holders, including 3.68% which are not vested as of March 31, 2024). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or, at the Company’s election, cash.

On February 21, 2024, the Company granted 151,600 and 95,204 C-LTIP Units pursuant to the Management Agreement to the Manager in payment of the (i) base management fee of $2.0 million, and (ii) operating expense reimbursement of $1.3 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2023. Such C-LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance.

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

Equity Incentive Plans

The Board has adopted, and the Company’s sole initial stockholder has approved, the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Individuals (the “BHM Individuals Plan”) and the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Entities (the “BHM Entities Plan”). Together, the Company refers to the BHM Individuals Plan and the BHM Entities Plan as the “BHM Incentive Plans.” The BHM Incentive Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, and are administered by the compensation committee of the Board.

LTIP Unit Grants

On January 8, 2024, the Company granted 5,185 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to each independent member of the Board in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers. Such LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance and the Company recognized expense of $0.3 million based on the fair value at the date of grant.

The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for time-based LTIP Units based on the fair value at the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for such LTIP Units of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2024, there was $8.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.3 years.

26

Restricted Stock Grants

In November 2023, the Company issued 31,260 shares of Class A common stock as restricted stock grants (“RSGs”) as equity compensation, pursuant to the BHM Individuals Plans, directly to and among certain of the Manager’s executive management team and personnel who provide other services to the Manager. Such RSGs will vest one-third on May 25, 2024, and the remainder will vest ratably on an annual basis over a two-year period from April 1, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense for such RSGs of approximately $0.05 million. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2024, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSGs granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.

Investors should not place undue reliance upon these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements due to numerous factors.

Additional factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

● The impact of volatility in capital and credit markets, or unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including those caused by inflation and rising interest rates, in the markets in which we operate;

● The impact of epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks of illness, disease or virus (such as the outbreak of novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its variants) and the actions taken by government authorities and other related thereto, including the ability of our company, our properties and our tenants to operate;

● the factors included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;

● use of proceeds of our securities offerings;

● changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, which may be negatively impacted by concerns about inflation, deflation, government deficits, high unemployment rates, decreased consumer confidence and liquidity concerns, particularly in markets in which we have a high concentration of properties;

● fluctuations and relative increases in interest rates, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all;

● the inability of tenants to pay rent;

● the existence and quality of the competition, such as the attractiveness of our properties as compared to our competitors’ properties based on considerations such as convenience of location, rental rates and safety record;

● increased operating costs, including increased real property taxes, homeowners association (“HOA”) fees, maintenance, insurance and utilities costs;

● weather conditions that may increase or decrease energy costs and other weather-related expenses;

30

● oversupply of single-family housing or a reduction in demand for real estate in the markets in which our properties are located;

● costs and time period required to convert acquisitions to rental units;

● a favorable interest rate environment that may result in a significant number of potential residents of our properties deciding to purchase homes instead of renting;

● rules, regulations and/or policy initiatives by government and private actors, including HOAs, to discourage or deter the purchase of single-family properties by entities owned or controlled by institutional investors;

● our ability to lease newly acquired or newly constructed single-family units;

● changes in, or increased costs of compliance with, laws and/or governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes;

● rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs;

● the board of directors’ determination as to timing and payment of dividends, and our ability to pay future distributions at the dividend rates we have paid (if any);

● our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and

● litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes.

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this report.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2024, and subsequent filings by us with the SEC, or (“Risk Factors”).

Overview

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

As of March 31, 2024, we held twenty real estate investments, consisting of twelve consolidated investments and eight preferred equity and loan investments. The twenty investments represent an aggregate of 4,366 residential units, comprised of 2,745 consolidated units, of which 170 units are under development, and 1,621 units through preferred equity and loan investments. As of March 31, 2024, our consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.8% occupied.

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

31

Inflation and Related Economic Volatility

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

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

Other weakened economic conditions, including job losses, high unemployment levels, stock market volatility, and uncertainty about the future, could adversely affect rental rates and occupancy levels. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.

Other Significant Developments

Acquisition of Villas at Huffmeister

On March 25, 2024, we, through a 95% owned joint venture entity, acquired a 294-unit single-family residential community located in Houston, Texas known as Villas at Huffmeister. The purchase price of $41.2 million was funded, in part, with a $24.3 million senior loan assumption secured by Villas at Huffmeister, along with cash of $17.4 million that we funded.

Sale of Consolidated Operating Units

During the first quarter 2024, we closed on the following sales: one unit in the Indy-Springfield portfolio, four units in the Peak JV 2 portfolio, and nineteen units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio, pursuant to the terms and conditions of multiple separate purchase and sales agreements. The twenty-four units were sold for an aggregate of approximately $3.9 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions, and generated net proceeds of approximately $3.7 million and a gain on sales of approximately $0.3 million.

Loan Investment Activity

During the first quarter 2024, we (i) provided funding in the aggregate amount of $9.6 million for the Wayford at Pringle loan investment, with a remaining commitment of $20.5 million to be funded, and (ii) received paydowns on The Woods at Forest Hill loan investment in the aggregate amount of $4.1 million, which included principal investment of $4.0 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million, reducing the outstanding principal balance to $4.3 million at March 31, 2024.

32

Peak Housing Interests

During the first quarter 2024, our preferred equity investment in the operating partnership of Peak Housing REIT (the “Peak REIT OP”) was partially redeemed in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million, which included principal investment of $1.8 million and accrued preferred return of $0.2 million. At March 31, 2024, our remaining preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP was $8.8 million, with a remaining 407 units as collateral underlying our investment.

Held for Sale

At March 31, 2024, we classified an aggregate of 96 units as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment of $0.1 million related to held for sale units which is included in gain on sale and impairment of real estate investments, net in our consolidated statements of operations. The units are included in the following portfolios: 34 units of Indy-Springfield, 11 units of Peak JV 2, and 51 units of Peak JV 3. These units were identified based on submarket analysis and individual unit-level operational review.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 395,628 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under a continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $8.6 million after (i) commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts of approximately $1.0 million, and (ii) costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $0.3 million. As of March 31, 2024, we had issued a total of 832,303 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $17.3 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our total stockholders’ equity decreased $2.9 million from $147.4 million as of December 31, 2023 to $144.5 million as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in our total stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to an adjustment of $1.9 million for noncontrolling interest ownership in the Operating Partnership, a net loss of $0.8 million, and preferred dividends declared of $0.3 million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Revenue

Rental and other property revenues increased $0.7 million, or 7%, to $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $10.1 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to $0.3 million in operational improvements from our active management and organic market rent growth and a $0.3 million increase in ancillary income (such as late fees, term fees, and damage fees).

Our average rent per occupied unit increased $58, or 3.8%, to $1,600 as compared to $1,542 during the prior year period. Average occupancy increased 30 basis points from 94.2% to 94.5% on a year over year basis. The improvements were partially driven by: (i) stabilization of units under renovation within our value-enhancement strategy, and (ii) stabilization of units that are sometimes purchased from owner occupants which can create modest frictional vacancy for a brief period of time after acquisition.

Interest income from loan investments amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to zero for the same prior year period due to three new loan investments since the fourth quarter 2023. We did not have any loan investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $0.4 million, or 10%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $4.6 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to: (i) a $0.3 million increase in expenses (primarily repairs and maintenance) incurred as part of our lease up stabilization strategy and (ii) a $0.1 million or 4% increase in insurance and real estate taxes.   Property operating expenses consist of controllable (payroll, repairs and maintenance, turnover, administrative, advertising, and utilities) and non-controllable (real estate taxes and insurance) expenses. Controllable expenses were $2.5 million and $2.2 million, and non-controllable expenses were $2.5 million and $2.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Property management and asset management fee expenses were $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consistent with the prior year period. Property management fees are based on a stated percentage of property revenues and asset management fees are based on a stated percentage of capital contributions or assets under management, where applicable. Although property revenues increased 6% compared to the prior year period, the negotiation of management fees with two property managers in 2023 resulted in property management fees remaining consistent with the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses amounted to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $2.0 million for the same prior year period. Of the $2.9 million total expense in the first quarter 2024, $1.7 million related to direct costs incurred by us, while the remaining $1.2 million related to the operating expense reimbursement to our Manager, which includes rent, utilities, and IT expenses. The expense reimbursement to our Manager also included a $0.8 million reimbursement for accounting and legal services. Prior to the fourth quarter 2023, the Manager elected to not seek reimbursement for legal and accounting services during our first year of operations. For the first quarter 2024, we will pay the full operating expense reimbursement of $1.2 million to the Manager in cash; for the same prior year period, we paid the full operating expense reimbursement of $0.3 million to the Manager through the issuance of C-LTIP Units.

Management fees to related party amounted to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1.9 million for the same prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in equity primarily from our continuous registered offering of Series A Preferred Stock, which began in the third quarter of 2023. For the first quarter 2024, we will pay the base management fee of $2.1 million to the Manager as one half (50%) in C-LTIP Units and the remainder in cash; for the same prior year period, we paid the full base management fee of $1.9 million to the Manager through the issuance of C-LTIP Units.

Acquisition and other transaction costs amounted to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1.5 million for the same prior year period. Acquisition costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods. The 2023 expense primarily relates to the transition of property management services for over 1,000 homes.

35

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consistent with the prior year period.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense amounted to income of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to expense of $0.4 million for the same prior year period. This was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in interest income from our short-term investments and a $0.3 million gain on sales of real estate investments from the sale of 24 homes during the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by a $0.1 million net increase in interest expense, a $0.1 million impairment on real estate, and a $0.1 million increase in provision for credit losses.

Net Operating Income

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

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, both short- and long-term. Our primary short-term liquidity requirements historically have related to (i) our operating expenses and other general business needs, (ii) investment in real estate, (iii) distributions to stockholders, (iv) committed investments and capital requirements to fund development and renovations at existing properties, (v) ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, including our revolving credit facilities and our maturing debt, and (vi) Class A common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase plan.

Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our short-term liquidity needs could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024. While consolidated occupancy remains strong at 94.8% as of March 31, 2024, in future periods we may experience reduced levels of tenant retention, and reduced foot traffic and lease applications from prospective tenants.

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

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

● $92.3 million in cash available at March 31, 2024;

● capacity of $65 million, of which approximately $15 million was available at March 31, 2024, on our revolving credit facilities;

● proceeds from future mortgage debt financings for acquisition and/or development projects;

● cash generated from operating activities; and

● proceeds from the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock and potential offerings of common and preferred stock, as well as issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2024 related to our mortgage notes secured by our properties and revolving credit facilities. At March 31, 2024, our estimated future required payments on these obligations were as follows (amounts in thousands):

			Less than
	Total		One year		2025-2026		2027-2028		Thereafter
Mortgages Payable (Principal)	$	123,739	$	1,315	$	40,228	$	25,004	$	57,192
Revolving Credit Facilities		105,000		20,000		85,000		—		—
Estimated Interest Payments on Mortgages Payable and Revolving Credit Facilities		33,707		10,466		12,904		8,576		1,761
Total	$	262,446	$	31,781	$	138,132	$	33,580	$	58,953

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

At March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of our contractual commitments to fund future cash obligations in certain of our loan and consolidated real estate investments was $20.7 million.

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

37

On February 13, 2024, our board of directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $5 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which we repurchase shares of our Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. We expect to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock through open market transactions subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of March 31, 2024, we had not made any repurchases of our Class A common stock.

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

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

As we did in the three months ended March 31, 2024, we may also selectively sell consolidated operating assets at appropriate times, which would be expected to generate cash sources for both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

We may also meet our long-term liquidity needs through borrowings from a number of sources, either at the corporate or project level. We believe our revolving credit facilities will serve as our primary debt source that will continue to enable us to deploy our capital more efficiently and provide capital structure flexibility as we grow our asset base. In addition to restrictive covenants, our revolving credit facilities contain material financial covenants. At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facilities. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.

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

We expect to maintain a distribution on our Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms which require monthly dividends. While our distributions through March 31, 2024 have been paid from cash flow from operations and in accordance with our policy, distributions in the future may be paid from cash flow from operations, proceeds from the offering of our Series A Preferred Stock, the sales of assets and additional sources, such as from borrowings.

We have notes receivable in conjunction with properties that are in various stages of development and in lease-up. To date, these investments have been structured as senior loans, and in the future, we may also provide mezzanine financing to these types of projects. The notes receivable provide a current stated return and require repayment based on a fixed maturity date. If the property does not repay the notes receivable upon maturity, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could be reduced below the stated returns currently being recognized if the property does not produce sufficient cash flow to pay its operating expenses and debt service, or to refinance its debt obligations.

38

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, we have off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures. At March 31, 2024, we own interests in six joint ventures that are accounted for as held to maturity debt securities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of March 31, 2024, we held twenty real estate investments, consisting of twelve consolidated investments and eight preferred equity and loan investments, with the twenty investments representing an aggregate of 4,366 residential units. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million after net loss of $3.2 million was adjusted for the following:

● non-cash items of $6.5 million; and

● distributions of income and preferred returns from preferred equity investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $0.2 million; offset by:

● an increase in accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets of $1.6 million;

● a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $0.7 million; and

● a decrease in due to affiliates of $0.1 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $19.3 million, due to the following:

● $17.5 million used in acquiring consolidated real estate investments;

● $9.6 million used in investments in notes receivable; and

● $1.7 million used on capital expenditures; offset by:

● $4.0 million of repayments of notes receivable;

● $3.7 million of proceeds from sale of real estate investments; and

● $1.8 million of proceeds from the redemption of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $30.9 million, primarily due to the following:

● $35.0 million of proceeds from revolving credit facilities;

● net proceeds of $8.6 million from the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and

● $1.0 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests; offset by:

● $8.5 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests;

● $3.9 million of distributions to common stockholders;

● $0.5 million of payments of deferred financing fees;

● $0.4 million of repayments on our mortgages payable;

● $0.2 million of distributions to preferred stockholders; and

● $0.1 million of distributions paid to partially owned properties’ noncontrolling interests.

Capital Expenditures

The following table summarizes our total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2024		2023
Redevelopment/renovations	$	769	$	569
Routine capital expenditures		936		646
Normally recurring capital expenditures		121		99
Total capital expenditures	$	1,826	$	1,314

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

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders

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

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

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

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

40

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

The table below presents our calculation of FFO and CFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

CFFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders - diluted	$	0.27	$	0.40
Weighted average common shares and units outstanding - diluted		12,044,069		11,295,431

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

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

(1) Holders of record of newly issued Series A Preferred Stock shares that are held only a portion of the applicable monthly dividend period will receive a prorated dividend based on the actual number of days in the applicable dividend period during which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock was outstanding.

(2) Holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock shares as of the close of business on each day of the applicable month are entitled to additional contingent special daily dividends for each such day, to be aggregated and payable (if at all) on the payable date, in each case equal to the amount (if any) by which (i) the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by (a) the sum of (I) the average 10-year Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rate for the period from the 26^th of the prior month to the 25^th of the applicable month (as reported by the United States Department of the Treasury), plus (II) two percent, divided by (b) twelve, divided further by (c) the actual number of days in the applicable month, exceeds (ii) the quotient of (a) $0.125 divided by (b) the actual number of days in the applicable month.

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

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

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

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

Subsequent Events

Other than the items disclosed in Note 15 “Subsequent Events” to our interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2024, no material events have occurred that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements. Refer to Note 15 of our interim Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below ($ in thousands) presents the principal payments and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Fair value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, net, of approximately $(3.5) million are excluded.

	2024			2025			2026			2027			2028			Thereafter			Total
Mortgage Notes Payable	$	1,315		$	2,228		$	38,000		$	1,415		$	23,589		$	57,192		$	123,739
Weighted Average Interest Rate		4.17	%		4.06	%		4.12	%		5.03	%		4.88	%		5.79	%		5.05	%
Revolving Credit Facilities	$	20,000		$	85,000		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	105,000
Weighted Average Interest Rate		8.45	%		8.13	%		—			—			—			—			8.19	%

The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated at $116.8 million at March 31, 2024.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist at March 31, 2024; it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

At March 31, 2024, we had interest rate caps and swaps, which are not accounted for as hedges, that we primarily use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our interest rate caps and swaps effectively limit our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $128.9 million of our debt.

Based on our debt outstanding and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2024, a 100-basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable rates would increase interest expense by approximately $50,000 or decrease interest expense by approximately $50,000, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2024, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the following, there have been no material changes to our potential risks and uncertainties as presented in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.

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

As of March 31, 2024, our total indebtedness was approximately $228.7 million, which includes $105.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. We may incur significant additional debt in the future. The Series A Preferred Stock is subordinate to all our existing and future debt and liabilities and those of our subsidiaries. Our future debt may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to preferred stockholders in the event of a default under the debt facilities or under other circumstances. In addition, our charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, of which 30,000,000 have been classified as shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, we had issued and outstanding 832,303 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional preferred stock on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock would dilute the interests of the holders of shares of preferred stock of the applicable class or series, and any issuance of preferred stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock, or any issuance of additional indebtedness, could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on any or all of the foregoing class or series of preferred stock. We may issue preferred stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the right of holders to cause us to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon a change of control, none of the provisions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock relate to or limit our indebtedness or afford the holders of shares thereof protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including a merger or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets or business, that might adversely affect the holders of such shares.

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

None.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (each as defined in Item 408(a) and (c), respectively, of Regulation S-K).
