of get which is bigger this trying of what XX there, you isn't You with business? increase to get inflation Why to you you'll financing, And your good or can eventually? XXX You price it that accelerate and the why part terrific going be year, now? you maybe XXX the a right homes. get say think aren't protection in the

Mark Harding

That's a question. great

the relationships long the the planning getting a builder in of land a with setup. of on So, what lot all we're terms of doing it's lead and side,

we probably two, market went our builder partners we X, the lots, the and of January in when ago to and that looking at first maybe really, years February the the with -- Phase So February were middle pandemic, of at literally XXX or I January, -- with two was it call half on it our XXXX.

we value roll community, and just -- It that you seeing can the the on of in it that terms starting market And rental has really so the way, of marketplace. have go increase the new were in brand we these homes, a a where a was depends where either concept how in which well positioning delivered community out to lot thought single-family we're right?

So, how performed perform does and submarket found we terrific. it our that

us lots with was more to had lots of a back we with, those of said, of okay, distribution the as was on call We working were here were hold it we XX in our some was single-family builders builder the discussions just okay, back, we it plus they some they XXX where kind just had and would that of our pullback analytic single-family lots. lots in lots And so all builders. the able say, I each delivered them having we each and pulled And more those back market, and the were of it and buy actually those went then not more getting about market blocks we'll and to holding of said, the yet. it late-stage actually contract, that our of

be been stronger got in for to So, deliver while have still another lots area. to company in on could was early frankly able it that we've that Phase the area, X,XXX and X

be So, that I weighted think, portions maybe higher and next of we phase back growth. the we'll see to accelerate continue that XXX in hold able will to where

XX ago And that, that weighted portion more a so, we're that contracting of when still I of reason on why early and so, higher couple it see for were we that, don't the very as process years you're to expanding in was is have than in going that. a

Unidentified Analyst

Okay.

the only rental units? do So, XX to XX acceleration this do if see XX or you're to we when going year,

Mark Harding

-- pulled XX in those So, I each we've where sub phases. of four back each core each got lots phases, phases the sub the sub of of

going filing percentage that to between those of the of and and filing see consistently. you're But filing So, and two overlap a weighted three lots. four, have we'll three filing more

first the at XX, building next So, lots. us two XXX then the this same in time see be filing might out going XXX. while out to XX the phase of being three is another portion filing of a building And those XXX we're as you're

going each rolled subsequent how to terms be of they're we in phase. So, cumulatively out

Unidentified Analyst

So, rental counting to revenue -- Mark, flow cash percentage going be? acquisitions, of the market what free and in is particularly your are three years, about

Mark Harding

XX we'd XX to in we're units, and If of three maybe years question. another units like in having a executing, be position under Great units construction. occupied XX

the in be timeframe, X. as XXX Phase take individual that's maybe out three roll going at short you of a that function units to a overlapping period. that three-year units these of would phase, if from kind a look going And next a well So, phases how to in as be each of

Unidentified Analyst

And recurring the revenue? Okay.

Mark Harding

that, on point good $XX,XXX per cash revenue, are each flow. generating recurring in is the year these per of So, unit about free

is right So, decimal cash -- in that'd my flow a $X.X $XX,XXX. be $XXX million there, free

are that's think that's And we that balance add then if I of sheet. typically there value would $XX asset to million $X.X right. million about worth the each,

Unidentified Analyst

All right.

question. second just Mark, Now,

You've back of can't hope of price. years been a Well, your talked both, shares, cake do a I've versus acquisitions. what having you bargain and it I'd being to hearing is too? the about buy have for consistently several you immediacy Why why pipeline can't eat able and

Mark Harding

see very Yes, existing we from -- diligent dealing day-to-day. our our cash executing position you and you when we're that business are as with quarter-over-quarter about fluctuates

a So, at end. end, had maybe million $XX year $XX at balance we million quarter a balance

the the the front, things time of really where a there for some on so our be able liquidity that, reimbursables being, opportunities think to into to is monetize we're positioned that its position best consider of of and balance purpose. our acquisition liquidity quarter-over-quarter the that that lot that and so that, using out bond of pursuing invested sheet but with operations help fluctuation. we're like I gets next the we're we to activity stronger a get keep will some us Once and round And

a quite can't position my do So, eat just that's why too and where both. yet. in we cake can it I not have we're

Unidentified Analyst

you the do get when Well, reimbursables back?

Mark Harding

That's a good sometime We're this question. forecasting year. that

within million $XX think a look we the think I about portion taking what of is fiscal is that at we're the of million. the $XX current next which year,

believe bond next how we the see and we'll much back at we'll that get So, least positions itself out.

Unidentified Analyst

anticipating So, and world? when whatever is the in the $XX stock getting there's seemingly starting no no investing coming attention million or now appetite from back for the

Mark Harding

well. kitchen get muscle we're to And what table sure that keeping of Yes. as make some looking I and for these sitting we're really frustrating think it No, acquisitions, for with Bill. I is of us for down the that at some it's

Unidentified Analyst

at out On hand, the they now? to looking the dynamics you other same they are sell are, cheaper, so sell are why going out

Mark Harding

They a much today. and -- than more landowners. discussion. private going for and long in the decision tomorrow at, legacy more is well, are is is holders area worth these it's of And to That it land very how many if generational it be looking the are

the And it are and so typically estate for if don't them they don't planning and planning activity. have they want opportunities intergenerational it, mostly

them give planning, some a do activities. way some planning, does planning tax this some So, estate to

And working farm the that case rights each so that together with with individual dynamic we're supply, owner or in each of water, have. water landowner water

So, little everybody has certainly got But that say in their has I last our they're and bit market own the would visibility a circumstance. three Denver unique significantly. and the increased years

-- do end industry that's the started re-fracked question speech. my is were Now told would be by the wells out years. well My to my with question the drilled is of business. having and that there, When be after oil to these gas about we five

which you is what number said operators' be short number two know going of you is is the labor is? what's they about the you of begun for number are that to drilling question planned in can Question about one are What re-fracking? plans, tell Have So, number on? do overall And you. us wells frac three availability Thank supply. and next thinking that? their crews, what XX months, know

Mark Harding

so work support years and your remember do question shareholders And in very lend oil in for continued call the and opportunity Weld as northern deposit whole quicker and and a whole you flow an you're through though on they these Colorado think and are in creates bet. to where for the that the and area. what seen their stimulation they lot has itself they to the re-stimulation. much it well shale well do of and our that do was, market when those You ago fated we this I and well company thing time Northern Thanks. A and XX the the this Niobrara for that, much, typically here. fracking that flies in first many I this deposit And or go and again, and years shale wellhead In gas makes right. wells probably others the that space County that day are of

field. Southern core area, really the we particular area operator that in attractive County I and attractive, in really suffered what Weld from than as more yet that think seen of the you've seen not Niobrara not have We issues. is And sort if our

defining became And major never and putting together, big in we ton so who infrastructure just of -- that money very was for field, we had a had this in it the a all putting came field a spent but them. in, really something it enough

just was like seem because the And meet their terrible field, but big, not process a didn't didn't -- the so it too proving and it job you Because too a starting didn't on they they on was they the really -- the out and operator while job did threshold, was defining it big operator it. just did they could and -- compete, it great big. de-risking developing it, too

And what so was ultimately up to enterprise. they selling private a ended

then oil a So, but called still company pension weak where and Crestone did that was a coming a Canadian that in creation is about were of production, to period that. they going fund that to Conoco job Crestone predominantly pretty from And went starting much better monetize time. during which

that and transfer now it Extraction, recently, So then we they much weren't more all it, again different a is economics a is what because of barrel Crestone. Bison, And $XX than that company at combination is at $XX about and aggressive the called a have a barrel. Crestone interest

So, was in a group consolidation called a Civitas. it

company. And entity. new They so this is are publicly-traded a a brand

up doing. then Crestone and and management take they're predominantly I Extraction that portfolio some as expertise well. They them and at positions and and Bison development think a You their have can what land look look of

they They've got setback. entities. to I dedicated that's combination drilling with prioritizing been revised you've They're of Colorado know can close So, rig of as the have one we those field. kind a wells. three as wells this drilling

So, X,XXX-foot setback. they have a

can of so and the then they're that. move can to in prioritizing they on place west those start drilling as that far they laterals And side as get so the with play wells east

areas. A in Aurora Aurora or may on lot of year those water provide city those the It's a urban And them are depending and wells. wells to may to development are of not concentrated. the close water lot so of the

And so water some of Aurora limitation wells. I the think supplied water it. those that as those see labor wells shortage, some on we've and The of don't some being to supplied to I some

company one really price did -- can of a more I over but Crestone think entity this with wells consolidation that. maybe primary to position was one an continuously, with wells what's a about various you're rig happening of think mean or years having it's XX much a than and to core operators. see the also-ran year. that that last hold Conoco Conoco a or a strengthened on Crestone not going they and are then And If really drivers per recent activity as got never mostly I by drilling going been three rather we've just new the their I repositioning being what the four And to interest oil had the Crestone drill lot HBP, continued of be production. this

more program seeing It on of and interested $XXX,XXX pad. delivering on to moving losing well that XX a million That's in where defining that efficient to XXX,XXX drill lease that's lock XX, they more much those in well to they XX and $X.X interest drilling a as water wanted water way that those also is for they pad $X million, and potential interest So, per wells well they're is were that done eight, didn't each make that. square drilling then lease more all each well, doing maybe acre of another sure us mile, pad, in doing have opposed really efficient per deliveries they of what that them. and we're XXX much

that's terms delivery period how why terms capacity. what wanting much a water over our so significant water incrementally of they're which expand of and operations, And time, to then storage in continue we is increase in of transfer both

repositioning as those The -- oil play was had analyst, the you each yourself So, play oil de-risked. could to some of play. an gas would recovered from of the oil analyst I what such characterize and

that per focused. pricing of operators that centrally to so investment then price consolidation at sufficient that that the of by really on the sure increase patients some had make a and barrel activity play to and level You've for asset was it's them their

things some all over years. how us play are of long of five good So, giving think I would gas those forward-looking now next a view the
