Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, the performance of our properties, results of operations, strategy, plans or intentions contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this quarterly report are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions in the United States and globally and in the specific markets where our properties are located;

risks associated with ownership of real estate;

limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

intense competition in the real estate market that, combined with low residential mortgage rates that could encourage potential renters to purchase residences rather than lease them, may limit our ability to acquire or lease and re-lease property or increase or maintain rent;

risks associated with our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities in the future;

failure of acquisitions and development projects to yield anticipated results;

risks associated with our strategy of acquiring value-enhancement multifamily properties, which involves greater risks than more conservative investment strategies;

the lack of experience of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. (our “Adviser”) in operating under the constraints imposed by REIT requirements;

loss of key personnel;

the risk that we may not replicate the historical results achieved by other entities managed or sponsored by affiliates of our Adviser, members of our Adviser’s management team or by Highland Capital Management, L.P. (our “Sponsor” or “Highland”) or its affiliates;

risks associated with our Adviser’s ability to terminate the Advisory Agreement;

our ability to change our major policies, operations and targeted investments without stockholder consent;

the substantial fees and expenses we will pay to our Adviser and its affiliates;

risks associated with the potential internalization of our management functions;

the risk that we may compete with other entities affiliated with our Sponsor or property manager for tenants;

conflicts of interest and competing demands for time faced by our Adviser, our Sponsor and their officers and employees;

our dependence on information systems;

lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

contingent or unknown liabilities related to properties or businesses that we have acquired or may acquire;

high costs associated with the investigation or remediation of environmental contamination, including asbestos, lead-based paint, chemical vapor, subsurface contamination and mold growth;

the risk that our environmental assessments may not identify all potential environmental liabilities and our remediation actions may be insufficient;

high costs associated with the compliance with various accessibility, environmental, building and health and safety laws and regulations, such as the ADA and FHA;

risks associated with our high concentrations of investments in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States;

risks associated with limited warranties we may obtain when purchasing properties;

exposure to decreases in market rents due to our short-term leases;

risks associated with operating through joint ventures and funds;

potential reforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

risks associated with our reduced public company reporting requirements as an “emerging growth company”;

costs associated with being a public company, including compliance with securities laws;

risks associated with breaches of our data security;

the risk that our business could be adversely impacted if there are deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting;

risks associated with our substantial current indebtedness and indebtedness we may incur in the future;

risks associated with derivatives or hedging activity;

the risk that we may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-Off;

the risk that we may fail to consummate our pending property acquisitions;

failure to qualify as or to maintain our status as a REIT;

compliance with REIT requirements, which may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities, liquidate certain of our investments or incur tax liabilities;

failure of our operating partnership to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, causing us to fail to qualify for or to maintain REIT status;

the ineligibility of dividends payable by REITs for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends;

risks associated with the stock ownership restrictions of the Code for REITs and the stock ownership limit imposed by our charter;

the ability of the Board of Directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval;

potential legislative or regulatory tax changes or other actions affecting REITs;

risks associated with the market for our common stock and the general volatility of the capital and credit markets;

failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness or pay distributions at expected levels;

risks associated with limitations of liability for and our indemnification of our directors and officers; or

any of the other risks included under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2016.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Description of Business

NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated on September 19, 2014, and intends to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is focused on “value-add” multifamily investments primarily located in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), the Company’s operating partnership. The Company holds all or a majority interest in its properties (the “Portfolio”) through the OP. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership GP, LLC (the “OP GP”) is the sole general partner of the OP. The sole limited partner of the OP is the Company.

The Company began operations on March 31, 2015 as a result of the transfer and contribution by NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (“NHF”) of all but one of the multifamily properties owned by NHF through its subsidiary Freedom REIT, LLC (“Freedom REIT”). We use the term “predecessor” to mean the carve-out business of Freedom REIT. On March 31, 2015, NHF distributed all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by NHF to holders of NHF common shares. We refer to the distribution of our common stock by NHF as the “Spin-Off.”

We are externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P., (the “Adviser”), through an agreement dated March 16, 2015 (the “Advisory Agreement”), by and among the Company, the OP and our Adviser. The Advisory Agreement has a term of two years. Our Adviser conducts substantially all of our operations and provides asset management for our real estate investments. We will only have accounting employees while the Advisory Agreement is in effect. All of our investment decisions are made by our Adviser, subject to general oversight by our Adviser’s investment committee and our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Our Adviser is wholly owned by NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and is an affiliate of Highland Capital Management, L.P. (our “Sponsor” or “Highland”).

The Company’s investment objectives are to maximize the cash flow and value of properties owned, acquire properties with cash flow growth potential, provide quarterly cash distributions and achieve long-term capital appreciation for its stockholders through targeted management and a capex value-add program. Consistent with the Company’s policy to acquire assets for both income and capital gain, the Company intends to hold majority interests in the properties for long-term appreciation and to engage in the business of directly or indirectly acquiring, owning, and operating well-located multifamily properties with a value-add component in large cities and suburban submarkets of large cities primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States consistent with our investment objectives.

The Company may also participate with third parties in property ownership, through limited liability companies (“LLCs”), funds or other types of co-ownership or acquire real estate or interests in real estate in exchange for the issuance of common stock, units, preferred stock or options to purchase stock. These types of investments may permit the Company to own interests in larger assets without unduly restricting diversification which provides flexibility in structuring the Company’s portfolio.

The Company may allocate up to thirty percent of the portfolio to investments in real estate-related debt and securities with the potential for high current income or total returns. These allocations may include first and second mortgages, subordinated, bridge, mezzanine, construction and other loans, as well as debt securities related to or secured by multifamily real estate and common and preferred equity securities, which may include securities of other REIT or real estate companies.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Predecessor

With the exception of a nominal amount of initial cash funded at inception, the Company did not own any assets prior to March 31, 2015. The business and operations of the Company prior to March 31, 2015 occurred under the predecessor. Our predecessor included all of the properties in our Portfolio that were held directly or indirectly by Freedom REIT, a wholly owned subsidiary of NHF, prior to the Spin-Off that occurred on March 31, 2015. However, our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and combined consolidated statements of cash flows reflect operations of our predecessor through March 31, 2015 as if they were incurred by us. Our predecessor was determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References throughout these combined consolidated financial statements to the “Company”, “we”, or “our”, include the activity of the predecessor defined above.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying unaudited combined consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Our predecessor combined consolidated financial statements were derived from the historical accounting records of our predecessor and reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows for the period prior to the Spin-Off. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in combination and consolidation. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are prepared using accounting polices consistent with those of the Company. In addition, the Company evaluates relationships with other entities to identify whether there are variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 810. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring items necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2016. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term.

Real Estate Investments

Upon acquisition, in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, the purchase price of a property is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and intangible lease assets. The purchase price allocation is based on management’s estimate of the property’s “as-if” vacant fair value, which is calculated by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, which may include lost rent, leasing commissions, legal and other related costs, which the Company, as buyer of the property, did not have to incur to obtain the residents.

If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt assumed. Costs associated with the acquisition of a property, including acquisition fees paid, are expensed upon closing the acquisition.

The results of operations for acquired properties are included in the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) from their respective acquisition dates.

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:

Land		Not depreciated
Buildings		30 years
Improvements		15 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment		3 years
Intangible lease assets		6 months

Construction in progress includes the cost of renovation projects being performed at the various properties. Once a project is complete, the historical cost of the renovation is placed into service in one of the categories above depending on the type of renovation project and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives as described in the table above.

The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale. An asset is classified as held for sale after an active program to sell the asset has commenced or the asset is under contract for sale and after the evaluation of other factors. Upon the classification of a real estate asset as held for sale, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to the lower of its net book value or its

estimated fair value, less costs to sell the asset, and no further depreciation expense is recorded. Upon a decision to no longer market an asset for sale, the asset is classified as an operating asset and depreciation expense is reinstated. Real estate assets and the related debt held for sale are stated separately on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment

Real estate assets that are determined to be held and used will be reviewed periodically for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such cases, the Company will evaluate the recoverability of such real estate assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such real estate assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the real estate asset. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment charges related to real estate assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of security deposits, operating escrows, and renovation value-add reserves. Security deposits are held until they are due to tenants and are credited against the balance. Operating escrows are required and held by our first mortgage lender(s) for items such as real estate taxes, insurance, and required repairs. Lender held escrows are released back to the joint venture upon the borrower’s proof of payment of such expenses. Renovation value-add reserves are funds identified to finance our value-add renovations at each of our properties and are not required to be held in escrow by a third party. The Company may reallocate these funds, at its discretion, to pursue other investment opportunities. The following is a summary of the restricted cash held as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):


	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Security deposits	$	963	$	1,034
Operating escrows		16,504		21,312
Renovation value-add reserves		20,140		24,523
	$	37,607	$	46,869

Prepaid acquisition deposits

The Company incurs costs in connection with future acquisitions that may include good faith deposits prior to possible acquisitions that are expected to be rolled into the costs of the closing. Until an acquisition closes, the Company reflects these costs as prepaid costs on the consolidated balance sheets. No such costs existed as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company defers costs incurred in obtaining financing and amortizes the costs over the terms of the related loans using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change in the terms of the underlying debt agreement, any unamortized costs are charged to interest expense. Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, of $5.8 million and $6.0 million are recorded as a deduction from mortgages payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, of $0.1 million and $0.2 million are recorded as a deduction from the debt related to the Company’s bridge facility on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million and $0.3 million is included in interest expense on the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests are comprised of the Company’s joint venture partners’ interests in the joint ventures in multifamily properties that the Company consolidates. The Company reports its joint venture partners’ interests in its consolidated real estate joint ventures and other subsidiary interests held by third parties as noncontrolling interests. The Company records these noncontrolling interests at their initial fair value, adjusting the basis prospectively for their share of the respective consolidated investment’s net

income or loss and equity contributions and distributions. These noncontrolling interests are not redeemable by the equity holders and are presented as part of permanent equity. Income and losses are allocated to the noncontrolling interest holder based on its economic ownership percentage.

Accounting for Joint Ventures

The Company first analyzes its investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is a VIE in accordance with FASB ASC 810, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. 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 VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the primary beneficiary. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company assesses at each level of the joint venture whether the entity is (i) a VIE, and (ii) if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If an entity in which the Company holds a joint venture interest qualifies as a VIE and the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the joint venture is consolidated.

(1)

The entities that own these properties are not VIEs.

(2)

Properties are classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2016.

In connection with its indirect equity investments in the properties acquired, the Company, through the OP, directly or indirectly holds membership interests in single-asset LLCs that directly own the properties. The majority of these entities are deemed to be VIEs as we have disproportionate voting rights (in the form of substantive participating rights over all of the decisions that are made that most significantly affect economic performance) relative to our economic interests in the entities and substantially all of the activities of the entities are performed on our behalf. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as no single party meets both criteria to be the primary beneficiary, and we are the member of the related party group that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Within the related party group, the Company is the most closely associated to the VIE based on the purpose and design of the entity, the size of our ownership interests relative to the other investors, and the rights we hold with respect to the other investors’ equity interests, including our ability to preclude any transfers of their interests and ability to drag them along on the sale of our equity interest. All VIEs are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. The assets of each VIE can only be used to settle obligations of that particular VIE, and the creditors of each entity have no recourse to the assets of other entities or the Company.

The other investor in the VIEs is BH Equities, LLC (“BH Equity”) or affiliates of BH Equity. When these VIEs were formed, BH Equity invested cash in each VIE and received a proportional share of each VIE that it invested in. Each VIE has a non-recourse mortgage that has standard scope non-recourse carve outs required by agency lenders and generally call for protection by the borrower and the guarantor against losses by the lender for so-called “bad acts,” such as misrepresentations, and may include full recourse liability for more significant events such as bankruptcy. BH Equity, or its affiliates, provided non-recourse carve out guarantees for the mortgage indebtedness currently outstanding relating to each VIE. In consideration of the guarantees provided by BH Equity and its affiliates, they will earn an additional profit interest in each VIE such that distributions will be made to the members of the VIE pro rata in proportion to their relative percentage interests until the members have received an internal rate of return equal to 13%. Then, the proportion of distributions changes to a predetermined allocation according to the agreements between each VIE and BH Equity or its affiliates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary operations consist of rental income earned from its residents under lease agreements with terms of one year or less. Rental income is recognized when earned. This policy effectively results in income recognition on the straight-line method over the related terms of the leases. Resident reimbursements and other income consist of charges billed to residents for utilities, carport and garage rental, pets, administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned.

Asset Management & Property Management Services

Asset management fee and property management fee expenses are recognized when incurred in accordance with each management agreement (see Note 8).

Income Taxes

The Company intends to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and expects to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions it pays with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of its ordinary income, (b) 95% of its capital gain net income and (c) 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. The Company intends to operate in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, including creating taxable REIT subsidiaries to hold assets that generate income that would not be consistent with the rules applicable for qualification as a REIT if held directly by the REIT, but no assurance can be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it could be subject to federal income tax on all of the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates for that year. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, the Company will also be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable REIT requirements.

Reportable Segment

Substantially all of the Company’s net income (loss) is from investments in real estate properties within the multifamily sector that the Company owns through LLCs. The Company evaluates operating performance on an individual property level and views its real estate assets as one industry segment and, accordingly, its properties are aggregated into one reportable segment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances with high quality financial institutions, including NexBank, an affiliate of our Adviser, and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of such institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk. Cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy)

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumption, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on input from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company utilizes an independent third party to perform the allocation of value analysis for each property acquisition and also to perform the market valuations on the interest rate caps and has established policies, as described above, processes and procedures intended to ensure that the valuation methodologies for investments and interest rate caps are fair and consistent as of the measurement date.

Per Share Data

The Company began operations on March 31, 2015, as described above, and therefore the Company had no operating activities or earnings (loss) per share before March 31, 2015. However, for purposes of the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the Company has presented basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share as if the operating activities of the predecessor were those of the Company and assuming the shares outstanding at the date of the Spin-Off were outstanding for all periods prior to the Spin-Off. Basic earnings (loss) per share will be shown for all periods presented and computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. There were no potentially dilutive securities for any of the periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred earnings (loss) per share of $(0.00) and $(0.25), respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. The following recent accounting pronouncements reflect effective dates that delay the adoption until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2014-15 as of January 1, 2016 and there was no material impact on its combined consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest, which changes the way reporting enterprises record debt issuance costs. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which supplements the requirements of ASU 2015-03 by allowing an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 as of January 1, 2016. The retrospective application required upon adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a reclassification of approximately $6.2 million of debt issuance costs from deferred financing costs, net, to a deduction from debt in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the following amounts of deferred financing costs were reclassified (in thousands):

	Assets			Liabilities
	Deferred financing costs, net			Bridge facility, net			Mortgages payable, net
December 31, 2015
As previously presented	$	6,213		$	29,000		$	682,342
Reclassification of deferred financing costs, net		(6,213	)		(195	)		(6,018	)
As presented herein	$	—		$	28,805		$	676,324

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The ASU also significantly changes how to evaluate voting rights for entities that are not similar to limited partnerships when determining whether the entity is a VIE, which may affect entities for which the decision making rights are conveyed though a contractual arrangement. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its combined consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should also disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date by one year. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to implement the provisions of ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2019. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the new standard on its current policies for revenue recognition.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes certain recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU requires all equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or resulting in consolidation, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also simplifies the impairment assessment for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, amends the presentation requirements for changes in the fair value of financial liabilities, requires presentation of financial instruments by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to implement the provisions of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2019, and does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its combined consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense was $9.0 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible lease assets was $0.6 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible lease assets for the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2016 for all acquisitions completed through March 31, 2016 is expected to be $0.1 million. Due to the six-month useful life attributable to intangible lease assets, the value of intangible lease assets on any acquisition prior to September 30, 2015 has been fully amortized and the assets and related accumulated amortization have been written-off as of March 31, 2016.

5. Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)

The Company acquired 10 properties during the period January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 has been provided to give effect to the acquisitions of the properties as if they had occurred on January 1, 2015. This pro forma financial information is not intended to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been had these acquisitions occurred on this date, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations for future periods. The following table summarizes, on an unaudited basis, the combined consolidated pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Actual:
Total revenues	$	33,511		$	25,537
Net income (loss)		291			(5,893	)
Earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted (see Note 2)		(0.00	)		(0.25	)

Pro forma:
Total revenues		33,511			30,871
Net income (loss)		934			(13,399	)
Earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted (see Note 2)		0.04			(0.63	)

The pro forma information includes adjustments to actual revenues and expenses recorded to reflect operations of all properties acquired as of March 31, 2016, assuming each was owned by the Company and operating as of January 1, 2015. Net income (loss) has been adjusted as follows: (1) interest expense has been adjusted to reflect the additional interest expense that would have been charged had the Company acquired the properties on January 1, 2015 under the same financing arrangements as existed as of the acquisition date; (2) depreciation and amortization has been adjusted based on the Company’s basis in the properties, and half of the intangible lease assets have been amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to the six-month life of intangible assets; (3) acquisition costs have been excluded for pro forma purposes for the acquisition costs of the properties; (4) advisory and administrative fees have been adjusted to include the acquisitions on a pro forma basis; and (5) general and administrative fees expected to be incurred on a quarterly basis at a parent level have been adjusted to include the acquisitions on a pro forma basis and are estimated to be approximately $800,000 per quarter.

Concurrently with the acquisition of the property, we placed a supplemental second mortgage on the property with a principal amount of approximately $5.8 million, a fixed rate of 4.70%, and with a maturity date that is the same time as the first mortgage. The supplemental second mortgage is pre-payable and subject to yield maintenance from the date of issuance through August 31, 2022 and is pre-payable at par September 1, 2022 until maturity. As of March 31, 2016, the total indebtedness secured by the property is approximately $23.4 million and has a blended interest rate of 4.24%.

(12)	Loan can be pre-paid starting in the 13^th month through the 57^th month of the term at par plus 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance and at par during the last three months of the term.

(13)

Debt was assumed upon acquisition of this property at approximated fair value. The assumed debt was originally issued on December 22, 2014 and matures on January 1, 2022. The loan only required interest only payments for the first 12 months (interest only period ended January 31, 2016) after which time the loan began amortizing. The loan can be pre-paid in the first 12 months of the term at par plus 5.00%. Starting in the 13^th month of the term through the 81^st month of the term, the loan can be pre-paid at par plus 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance and at par during the last three months of the term.

(14)

The Company reflected a valuation adjustment on its fixed rate debt for Belmont at Duck Creek to adjust it to fair market value on the date of acquisition for the difference between the fair value and the assumed principal amount of debt. The difference is amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the mortgage.

The weighted average interest rate of our mortgage indebtedness was 2.66% as of March 31, 2016 and 2.67% as of December 31, 2015.

Each of our mortgages is a non-recourse obligation subject to customary provisions. The loan agreements contain customary events of default, including defaults in the payment of principal or interest, defaults in compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the loan, defaults in payments under any other security instrument covering any part of the property, whether junior or senior to the loan, and bankruptcy or other insolvency events. As of March 31, 2016, the Company believes it is in compliance with all provisions.

Bridge Facility

On August 5, 2015, the Company executed a bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) with KeyBank, N.A. in the amount of $29.0 million. The proceeds from the Bridge Facility were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Madera Point and The Pointe at the Foothills acquisitions. The Bridge Facility is payable in full on August 4, 2016, but is pre-payable at any time without penalty. The Bridge Facility is non-amortizing during the term it is outstanding and accrues interest at an annual rate of 4.00% plus one-month LIBOR. The Bridge Facility is recourse to the Company and is secured by the equity interests in Madera Point and The Pointe at the Foothills. We are in discussions with KeyBank, N.A. to convert the Bridge Facility to a revolving credit facility and extend the maturity date, alleviating the need to repay the Bridge Facility in full in August 2016. If we are unable to convert the Bridge Facility, we plan to use proceeds from sales of properties, cash on hand, proceeds from the refinancing of current debt in amounts in excess of the current balances, or proceeds from a future equity offering or issuance of debt to repay the Bridge Facility.

The bridge facility agreement contains customary provisions with respect to events of default, covenants and borrowing conditions. Certain prepayments may be required upon a breach of covenants or borrowing conditions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company believes it is in compliance with all provisions.

7. Fair Value Measures and Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Real estate assets are recorded at fair value at acquisition and may be stated at fair value if they become impaired in a given period and may be stated at fair value if they are held for sale and the fair value of such assets is below historical cost. Additionally, the Company records derivative financial instruments at fair value.

Real estate acquisitions

As of March 31, 2016 and as further discussed in Notes 2 and 3, the Company had acquired 42 properties for approximately $910.6 million. The purchase prices of these properties were allocated as follows: land of approximately $177.3 million, buildings, building improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment of approximately $708.0 million, and intangible lease assets of approximately $25.3 million based on their estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs. Of the 42 properties acquired, there were five properties with assumed debt which was recorded based on their estimated fair value using Level 2 inputs.

As discussed in Note 2, fair value measurements at the time of acquisition were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies available to management for the period ended March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015. Critical estimates in valuing certain assets and liabilities and the assumptions of what marketplace participants would use in making estimates of fair value include, but are not limited to: future expected cash flows, estimated carrying costs, estimated origination costs, lease up periods and tenant risk attributes, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired lease will continue to be used in the Company’s portfolio and discount rates used in these calculations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may not always reflect unanticipated events and changes in circumstances may occur. In making such estimates, management uses a number of sources, including appraisals, third party cost segregation studies or other market data, as well as, information obtained in its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and estimate fair value. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates discussed herein, using Level 3 inputs, are indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the real estate assets or other financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following table represents critical assumptions used and the ranges for those assumptions:

Going-in cap rate			4.8% - 6.2%
Terminal cap rate			5.2% - 6.8%
Discount rate			5.5% - 10.7%
Growth rate revenues			1.6% - 3.3%
Growth rate operating costs			1.6% - 3.3%

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

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 debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter 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 receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings. The Company utilizes an independent third party to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments. These market valuations are based on estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense related to mortgage debt and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps to cap the total amount of interest expense the Company may pay in a rising interest rate environment. 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. The rate caps have terms ranging from 3-4 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with most of our existing variable-rate debt. The derivative financial instruments that we employ cap our variable interest rate at a weighted average interest rate of 5.99%.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into net income or loss in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in net income as interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded no ineffectiveness in earnings attributable to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had 14 derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

Product		Number of Instruments				Notional
Interest rate caps			15			$	259,659

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in net income as interest expense. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships (dollars in thousands):

Product		Number of Instruments				Notional
Interest rate caps			21			$	318,687

The tables below present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Other financial instruments

Cash equivalents, rents and accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-term indebtedness is carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value. The Company used market spreads from quoted prices on similar long-term debt, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, to determine the estimated fair values for the Company’s long-term indebtedness.

8. Related Party Transactions

Fees and reimbursements to BH and its affiliates

The Company has entered into management agreements with BH Management Services, LLC (“BH”), the Company’s property manager, who manages the Company’s properties and supervises the implementation of the Company’s value-add program. BH is an affiliate of the noncontrolling interest members of the Company by virtue of ownership in certain VIEs through BH’s affiliates. The property management fee is approximately 3% of the monthly gross income from each property managed. Currently, BH manages all of our properties. Additionally, the Company may pay BH certain other fees, including: (1) a fee of $15.00 per unit for the one-time setup and inspection of properties, (2) a construction supervision fee of 5-6% of total project costs, which is capitalized, (3) acquisition fees and due diligence costs reimbursements, and (4) other owner approved fees at $55 per hour. BH also acts as a paymaster for the properties and is reimbursed for various operating expenses it pays on their behalf. The following is a summary of fees that the properties incurred to BH and its affiliates, as well as reimbursements paid to BH from the properties for various operating expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

(2)

Capitalized on the consolidated balance sheets and reflected in buildings and improvements.

(3)

Includes due diligence costs and are included in acquisition costs on the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(4)

Included in property operating expenses on the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(5)

Includes various operating expenses such as repairs and maintenance costs and property general and administrative expenses.

Asset Management Fee

In accordance with the operating agreement of each entity that owns the real estate properties, the Company earns an asset management fee for services provided in connection with monitoring the operations of the properties. The asset management fee is equal to 0.5% per annum of the aggregate effective gross income of the properties, as defined in each of the operating agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the properties incurred asset management fees to the Company of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Since the fees are paid to the Company (and not the Adviser) by consolidated properties, they have been eliminated in consolidation. However, because our joint venture partners own a portion of each entity, with the exception of The Miramar Apartments, they absorb their pro rata share of the asset management fee. This amount is reflected on the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Advisory and Administrative Fee

Prior to the Spin-Off, the predecessor paid NexPoint Advisors, an affiliate of the Adviser, an annual advisory fee, paid monthly, in an amount equal to 1.00% of the average weekly value of the predecessor’s “Managed Assets.” The predecessor’s Managed Assets were an amount equal to the total assets of the predecessor, including any form of leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the predecessor’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means.

Additionally, the predecessor paid NexPoint Advisors an administrative fee for services to the predecessor. The administrative fee was payable monthly, in an amount equal to 0.20% of the average weekly value of the predecessor’s Managed Assets. The advisory and administrative fees were paid by the predecessor on behalf of the Company.

Following the Spin-Off and in accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser an advisory fee equal to 1.00% of the Average Real Estate Assets (as defined below). The duties performed by our Adviser under the terms of the Advisory Agreement include but are not limited to: providing daily management for us, selecting and working with third party service providers, managing our properties or overseeing the third party property manager, formulating an investment strategy for us and selecting suitable properties and investments for us, managing our outstanding debt on properties, managing our interest rate exposure through derivative instruments, determining when to sell assets, and managing the value add program or overseeing a third party vendor that implements the value-add program. “Average Real Estate Assets” means the average of the aggregate book value of Real Estate Assets before reserves for depreciation or other non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of the book value of real estate assets at the end of each month (1) for which any fee under the Advisory Agreement is calculated or (2) during the year for which any expense reimbursement under the Advisory Agreement is calculated. “Real Estate Assets” is defined broadly in the Advisory Agreement to include, among other things, investments in real estate-related securities and mortgages and reserves for capital expenditures (the value-add program). The advisory fee is payable monthly in arrears in cash, unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the advisory fee in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations.

In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Company also pays the Adviser an administrative fee equal to 0.20% of the Average Real Estate Assets. The administrative fee will be payable monthly in arrears in cash, unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the administrative fee in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations. The advisory and administrative fees to be paid to the Adviser on the Contributed Assets (as defined below) are subject to a stipulated cap.

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for all documented Operating Expenses and Offering Expenses it incurs on behalf of the Company. Operating Expenses include legal, accounting, financial and due diligence services performed by the Adviser that outside professionals or outside consultants would otherwise perform, and the Company’s pro rata share of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Adviser required for the Company’s operations. Operating Expenses do not include expenses for the advisory and administrative services described in the Advisory Agreement. Certain Operating Expenses, such as our ratable share of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses incurred by the Adviser or its affiliates that relate to the operations of the Company, will be billed monthly to us under a shared services agreement. Offering Expenses include all expenses (other than underwriters’ discounts) in connection with an offering, including, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and other documented offering expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Adviser did not bill any operating or offering expenses to the Company and any such expenses the Adviser incurred during the period are considered to be permanently waived.

Expense Cap

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, expenses paid or incurred by us for advisory and administrative fees payable to the Adviser and Operating Expenses will not exceed 1.5% of Average Real Estate Assets per calendar year (or part thereof that the Advisory Agreement is in effect (the “Expense Cap”)). The Expense Cap does not limit the reimbursement of expenses related to Offering Expenses. The Expense Cap also does not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions, extraordinary litigation or other events outside the Company’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisitions or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of real estate assets. Also, advisory and administrative fees are further limited on Contributed Assets to approximately $5.4 million in any calendar year. Contributed Assets refers to all Real Estate Assets contributed to the Company as part of the Spin-Off. Advisory and administrative fees on New Assets are not subject to the above limitation but are subject to the Expense Cap. New Assets are all Real Estate Assets that are not Contributed Assets.

The amount of advisory and administrative fees incurred were $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These fees are reflected on the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in advisory and administrative fees. The allocation of advisory and administrative fees prior to the Spin-Off is based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement between our predecessor and NexPoint Advisors. In management’s estimation, the allocation methodologies used are reasonable and result in a reasonable allocation of operating costs borne by our predecessor; however, these allocations may not be indicative of the cost of future operations or the amount of future allocations. The amount paid for the three months ended March 31, 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on Contributed Assets under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $0.3 million of advisory and administrative fees incurred on Madera Point, The Pointe at the Foothills, and The Place at Vanderbilt, defined as New Assets pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various rehabilitation construction related purchase commitments with parties that provide these goods and services. In the event the Company were to terminate rehabilitation construction services prior to the completion of projects, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding or uncompleted purchase orders with such parties. At March 31, 2016, management does not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to rehabilitation projects currently in process.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of all such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of the Company. The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us or our properties or subsidiaries.

The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that could have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our historical results of operations. The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected, forecasted or expected in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those which are discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report, and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2016. Our management believes the assumptions underlying the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are reasonable. However, the Company’s financial statements may not necessarily reflect our financial condition and results of operations in the future.

Overview

As of March 31, 2016, we owned all or a majority interest in a portfolio of multifamily properties, or the Portfolio, primarily located in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States consisting of 42 multifamily properties encompassing 13,155 units of apartment space that was approximately 94.5% leased. The weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit in our Portfolio was $811 as of March 31, 2016.

We are primarily focused on directly or indirectly acquiring, owning, and operating well-located multifamily properties with a value-add component in large cities and suburban submarkets of large cities, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. We generate revenue primarily by leasing our multifamily properties. We intend to employ management and capex value-add programs at a majority of our properties in an attempt to improve rental rates and the net operating income (“NOI”) at our properties. We are externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors L.P., or our Adviser, an affiliate of Highland Capital Management, L.P. (our “Sponsor” or “Highland”), a leading global alternative asset manager and an SEC-registered investment adviser which, together with its affiliates, had approximately $17.0 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2016.

The Company began operations on March 31, 2015 as a result of the transfer and contribution by NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (“NHF”) of all but one of the multifamily properties owned by NHF through NHF’s subsidiary Freedom REIT, LLC (“Freedom REIT”) in exchange for 100% of its outstanding common stock. We use the term “predecessor” to mean the carve-out business of Freedom REIT, which owned all or a majority interest in the multifamily properties transferred or contributed to the Company by NHF through Freedom REIT. On March 31, 2015, NHF distributed all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by NHF to holders of NHF common shares. We refer to the distribution of our common stock by NHF as the “Spin-Off.” Substantially all of our operations were conducted by our predecessor prior to March 31, 2015. With the exception of a nominal amount of initial cash funded at inception, the Company did not own any assets prior to March 31, 2015. Our predecessor included all of the properties in our portfolio that were held indirectly by Freedom REIT prior to the Spin-Off. Our predecessor was determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References throughout this report to the “Company,” “we,” or “our,” include the activity of the predecessor defined above.

We intend to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and expect to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We believe we are organized and operate in such a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT.

Components of Our Revenues and Expenses

Revenues

Rental income. Our earnings are primarily attributable to the rental revenue from our multifamily properties. We anticipate that the leases we enter into for our multifamily properties will typically be for one year or less.

Other income. Other income includes ancillary income earned from tenants such as application fees, late fees, laundry fees, utility reimbursements, and other rental related fees charged to tenants.

The Expense Cap also does not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions, extraordinary litigation or other events outside the Company’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of real estate assets.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses include the costs of marketing, professional fees, general office supplies, and other administrative related costs of each property.

total of 42 properties as of March 31, 2016 as compared to acquiring, owning and operating 38 properties as of March 31, 2015, as well as increases in same store operating results. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Revenues

Rental income. Rental income was $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $6.7 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016. We have also experienced an increase in rental income from our properties based upon increased rents and increased occupancy rates due to the value-add programs that we have implemented as well as organic growth in rents in the markets where these properties are located. The weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit in our Portfolio was $811 as of March 31, 2016 compared to $771 as of March 31, 2015. The occupancy rate for the Portfolio was 94.5% as of March 31, 2016 compared to 93.6% as of March 31, 2015.

Other income. Other income was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $1.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating costs were $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $2.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Acquisition costs. There were no acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Acquisition costs depend on the specific circumstances of each closing and are one-time costs associated with each acquisition.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016. Further, the costs for property taxes incurred in the first year of ownership may be significantly less than subsequent years since the purchase price of the property may trigger a significant increase in assessed value by the taxing authority in subsequent years, increasing the costs of real estate taxes.

Property management fees. Property management fees were $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties and increases in rental income and other income, which the fee is, in part, based on. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Advisory and administrative fees. Advisory and administrative fees were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.3 million. The amount incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on Contributed Assets under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $0.3 million of advisory and administrative fees incurred on Madera Point, The Pointe at the Foothills, and The Place at Vanderbilt, defined as New Assets pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Advisory and administrative fees may increase in future periods as the Company acquires additional properties.

Corporate general and administrative expenses. Prior to the completion of the Spin-Off on March 31, 2015, the Company did not incur any corporate general and administrative costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred corporate general and administrative expenses of $0.8 million. Corporate general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods as the Company acquires additional properties.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative costs were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was a decrease of approximately $2.0 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to the amortization of intangible lease assets of $0.6 million related to 3 properties for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $5.8 million related to 28 properties for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was a decrease of approximately $5.2 million. The amortization of intangible lease assets over a six-month period from the date of acquisition is expected to increase the amortization expense during the initial year of operations for each property. The decrease between the periods was partially offset by the additional depreciation expense related to the acquisition of four additional properties and capitalized expenditures primarily related to our value-add program.

Interest expense. Interest expense costs were $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $1.2 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional properties. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016. The following is a table that details the various costs included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Interest on debt	$	4,892	$	3,587

Total	$	5,226	$	4,009

Same Store Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

As of March 31, 2016, our Portfolio of 42 properties consisted of 32 Same Store properties encompassing 9,428 units of apartment space that was approximately 94.6% leased. The weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit in our Same Store pool was $823 as of March 31, 2016. For our Same Store properties, we recorded the following operating results for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015:

Revenues

Rental income. Rental income was $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $1.7 million, or 8.4%. The majority of the increase is primarily related to a 5.8% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit to $823 as of March 31, 2016 from $778 as of March 31, 2015, as well as a 1.0% increase in occupancy.

Other income. Other income was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or 18.2%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.3 million or 22.3% increase in utility reimbursements.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating costs were $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.3 million, or 5.0%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.2 million or 11.6% increase in payroll expenses.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of approximately $0.1 million, or 4.1%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.2 million or 10.2% increase in property taxes, partially offset by a $0.1 million, or 24.0% decrease in property liability insurance.

Property management fees. Property management fees were $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of less than $0.1 million, or approximately 9.6%. The majority of the increase is related to a $1.7 million or 8.4% increase in rental income and other income, which the fee is, in part, based on.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative costs were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was an increase of less than $0.1 million, or approximately 2.5%.

See reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI at “Non-GAAP Measures – Net Operating Income and Same Store Net Operating Income” below.

Non-GAAP Measures

Net Operating Income and Same Store Net Operating Income

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by investors and our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as NOI is not affected by (1) the cost of funds, (2) acquisition costs, (3) non-operating fees to affiliates, (4) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP, (5) corporate general and administrative expenses, (6) other gains and losses that are specific to us, and (7) entity level general and administrative expenses that are either non-recurring in nature or incurred on behalf of the Company at the property level for expenses such as legal, professional and franchise tax fees.

The cost of funds is eliminated from net income (loss) because it is specific to our particular financing capabilities and constraints. The cost of funds is also eliminated because it is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital which may have changed or may change in the future. Acquisition costs and non-operating fees to affiliates are eliminated because they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our multifamily properties that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale which will usually change from period to period. Entity level general and administrative are eliminated as they are specific to the way in which we have chosen to hold our properties and are the result of our joint venture ownership structuring. Also, non-recurring expenses that are incurred upon acquisition of a property do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly timed purchases or sales. We believe that eliminating these costs from net income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual ongoing revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes corporate general and administrative costs, interest expense, interest income and other expense, acquisition costs, certain fees to affiliates, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as stipulated by GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income which further limits its usefulness.

We define Same Store NOI as NOI for our properties that are comparable between periods. We view Same Store NOI as an important measure of the operating performance of our properties because it allows us to compare operating results of properties owned for the entirety of the current and comparable periods and therefore eliminates variations caused by acquisitions or dispositions during the periods.

NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties but does not measure our performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP and discussions elsewhere in “—Results of Operations” regarding the components of net income (loss) that are eliminated in the calculation of NOI. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI or similarly entitled measures and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.

FFO and AFFO

We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. We compute FFO attributable to common stockholders in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. Our presentation differs slightly in that we begin with net income (loss) before adjusting for noncontrolling interests and show the noncontrolling interests as an adjustment to arrive at FFO attributable to common stockholders. AFFO is calculated by adjusting our FFO by adding back items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, such as acquisition expenses, equity-based compensation expenses, the amortization of deferred loan costs, and the noncontrolling interests related to these items. AFFO will also be adjusted to include any gains (losses) from sales of property to the extent excluded from FFO. We will not have any equity-based compensation expenses unless and until our stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s charter to remove the 1940 Act compliance requirements.

We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and, for AFFO, by excluding non-cash expenses such as acquisition expenses, equity-based compensation expenses and the amortization of deferred loan costs, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods and to other REITs. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Net income (loss)	$	291		$	(5,893	)
Depreciation and amortization		9,612			11,610

Adjustment for noncontrolling interests		(25	)		(216	)
AFFO attributable to common stockholders		8,942			7,001

AFFO per share	$	0.42		$	0.33

The change in the Company’s FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily relates to the Company acquiring, owning and operating an additional four properties for a total of 42 properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to acquiring, owning and operating 38 properties as of March 31, 2015. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore only contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016. Additionally, the increases in FFO and AFFO reflect increased Same Store revenues, net of increases in Same Store expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our multifamily properties, including:

the repayment of the Bridge Facility if we are unable to extend or refinance the Bridge Facility;

recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our multifamily properties;

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness (see “—Obligations and Commitments”);

distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;

capital expenditures to complete our value-add program and to improve the quality and performance of our multifamily properties;

advisory fees payable to our Adviser;

administrative fees payable to our Adviser;

general and administrative expenses;

reimbursements to our Adviser; and

property management fees payable to BH.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations and existing cash balances. As of March 31, 2016, we have reserved approximately $20.1 million for our planned capital expenditures to implement our value-add program.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional multifamily properties, renovations and other capital expenditures to improve our multifamily properties and scheduled debt payments and distributions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, which may include a revolving credit facility and future debt or equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, long-term

mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings, and property dispositions. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.

In addition to our value-add program, our multifamily properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. Also, acquisitions, redevelopments or expansions of our multifamily properties will require significant capital outlays. Long-term, we may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or redevelopment through retained earnings long-term is limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following March 31, 2016.

Cash Flows

The following table presents selected data from the Company’s combined consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016				2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	8,936			$	2,390
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,817	)			(162,971	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(5,979	)			179,842
Net increase in cash		1,140				19,261
Cash, beginning of period		16,226				12,662
Cash, end of period	$	17,366		(1)	$	31,923

(1)

Does not include restricted cash of $37.6 million as of March 31, 2016.

The changes in the Company’s overall cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily relate to the Company acquiring, owning and operating an additional four properties for a total of 42 properties as of March 31, 2016 as compared to acquiring, owning and operating 38 properties as of March 31, 2015. Also, six of the 38 properties owned as of March 31, 2015 were acquired during the first quarter of 2015 and therefore only contributed for less than a full quarter in 2015 versus the entire quarter in 2016.

Cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in net cash from operating activities was mainly due to changes in net income (loss), offset by changes in depreciation and amortization.

Cash flows from investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $163.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was mainly due to the change in acquisition activity, which varies based on specific acquisition and renovation projects that are ongoing at each respective property. In addition, there is a fluctuation of renovation reserves being established at closing for the value-add programs at each property for each period.

Cash flows from financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $6.0 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $179.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The

decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the period was mainly due to the level of activity related to the debt funded on the respective property closings and capital contributed at each closing.

Mortgage Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2016, our subsidiaries have aggregate mortgage indebtedness to third parties of approximately $681.5 million. As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding mortgage indebtedness related to the Company was 2.66%. For additional information regarding our mortgage indebtedness, see Note 6 to our combined consolidated financial statements.

We entered into and expect to continue to enter into interest rate cap agreements with various third parties to cap the variable interest rates on a majority of our outstanding floating rate mortgage indebtedness. These agreements generally have a term of three to four years and cover the outstanding principal amount of the underlying indebtedness. Under these agreements, we pay a fixed fee in exchange for the counterparty to pay any interest above a maximum rate. At March 31, 2016, interest rate cap agreements covered $577.6 million of the $636.5 million of total outstanding floating rate mortgage indebtedness relating to the Company. These interest rate cap agreements cap the related variable interest rates of our mortgage indebtedness at a weighted average interest rate of 5.99% as of March 31, 2016. Three floating rate mortgages totaling $58.9 million did not have caps associated with them as of March 31, 2016.

Each property has a separate non-recourse mortgage which is secured only by that property. These non-recourse mortgages have standard scope non-recourse carve outs required by agency lenders and generally call for protection by the borrower and the guarantor against losses by the lender for so-called “bad acts,” such as misrepresentations, and may include full recourse liability for more significant events such as bankruptcy. We and our property manager, BH, and its affiliates, provided non-recourse carve out guarantees for the mortgage indebtedness currently outstanding relating to the Portfolio.

We intend to invest in additional multifamily properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of equity and debt financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, future borrowings and the proceeds from additional issuances of common stock or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in appropriate circumstances in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of existing mortgage loans.

Although we expect to be subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing common stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

Furthermore, following the completion of our value-add and capital expenditures programs and depending on the interest rate environment at the applicable time, we may seek to refinance our floating rate debt into longer-term fixed rate debt at lower leverage levels.

Company-specific Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2016, the Company has a $29.0 million Bridge Facility payable to KeyBank, N.A., which is recourse to the Company. The Bridge Facility bears interest at an annual rate of 4.00% plus one-month LIBOR. The Bridge Facility is payable in full on August 4, 2016. We are in discussions with KeyBank, N.A. to convert the Bridge Facility to a revolving credit facility and extend the maturity date, alleviating the necessity to repay the Bridge Facility in full in August 2016. If we are unable to convert the Bridge Facility, we plan to use proceeds from sales of properties, cash on hand, proceeds from the refinancing of current debt in amounts in excess of the current balances, or proceeds from a future equity offering or issuance of debt to repay the Bridge Facility.

Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments for the next five years and thereafter as of March 31, 2016. Interest expense due by period on our floating rate debt is based on one-month and three-month LIBOR as of March 31, 2016.

Capital Expenditures and Value-Add Program

We anticipate incurring average annual repairs and maintenance expense of $575-$725 per unit in connection with the ongoing operations of our business. These expenditures are expensed as incurred. In addition, we reserve, on average, approximately $250 to $350 per unit for non-recurring capital expenditures and/or lender required replacement reserves. These expenditures are either capitalized or expensed, in accordance with GAAP, depending on the type of the expenditure. Although we will continuously monitor the adequacy of this average, we believe these figures to be sufficient to maintain the properties at a high level in the markets in which we operate. A majority of the properties in our Portfolio were underwritten and acquired with the premise that we would invest $4,000-$10,000 per unit in the first 24-36 months of ownership, in an effort to add value to the asset’s exterior and interiors. In most cases, we reserved cash at closing to fund these planned capital expenditures and value-add improvements. As of March 31, 2016, we have reserved approximately $20.1 million for our planned capital expenditures and other expenses to implement our value-add program. The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s capital expenditures related to its value-add program for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Rehab Expenditures	2016		2015
Interior (1)	$	2,137	$	1,403
Exterior and common area		4,321		2,620
Total rehab expenditures	$	6,458	$	4,023

(1)

Includes total capital expenditures during the period on completed and in-progress interior rehabs. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we completed full and partial interior rehabs on 387 and 332 units, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

We could remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of becoming a public company, (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1 billion or more, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months) or (4) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt.

Income Taxes

We anticipate that we will qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

Historically, our operations were included in Freedom REIT’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and our operations for 2015 until the Spin-Off will be included in Freedom REIT’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns for the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Freedom REIT elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2013 and Freedom REIT has covenanted to us to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2015. With respect to its taxable years ending December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, it distributed 100% of its REIT taxable income and therefore did not owe any U.S. federal income tax. If Freedom REIT fails to qualify as a REIT, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. In addition, unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT if Freedom REIT fails to qualify as a REIT for its taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2015 and we are treated as a successor to Freedom REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although Freedom REIT represented to us that it has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, and covenanted in the agreement between us and our Adviser to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for each of Freedom REIT’s taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2015, no assurance can be given that such representation and covenant would prevent us from failing to qualify as a REIT.

Dividends

We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments to holders of our common stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments of all or substantially all of our taxable income to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Before we make any dividend payments, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets, borrow funds or raise additional capital to make cash dividends or we may make a portion of the required dividend in the form of a taxable distribution of stock or debt securities.

We will make dividend payments based on our estimate of taxable earnings per share of common stock, but not earnings calculated pursuant to GAAP. Our dividends and taxable income and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. Our quarterly dividends per share may be substantially different than our quarterly taxable

earnings and GAAP earnings per share. The Board declared the Company’s first quarterly dividend of 2016 of $0.206 per share on March 7, 2016, which was paid on March 31, 2016 and funded out of cash flows from operations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2016, we have total indebtedness of $710.5 million, of which $665.5 million is floating rate debt with a variable interest rate.

An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us costlier. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. We may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate cap agreements. At March 31, 2016, interest rate cap agreements covered $577.6 million of the $710.5 million of total outstanding indebtedness relating to the Company. As of March 31, 2016, these interest rate cap agreements cap the related variable interest rates at a weighted average interest rate of 5.99% for the term of the agreements, which is generally 3-4 years. We also expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness.

Until our interest rates reach the caps provided by our interest rate cap agreements, each quarter point change in interest rates on the variable portion of our indebtedness would result in an approximate increase to our annual interest expense of the amounts illustrated in the table below for our indebtedness as of March 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Change in Interest Rates	Annual Increase to Interest Expense
0.25%	$	1,500
0.50%		2,900
0.75%		4,400
1.00%		5,800

There is no assurance that we would realize such expense as such changes in interest rates could alter our liability positions or strategies in response to such changes.

We may also be exposed to credit risk in the derivative financial instruments we use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative financial instruments. If the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

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 President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2016, 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 President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports 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 President 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 has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report and the other information set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
