in item 1A of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our other public filings with the SEC, which we incorporate by reference in this prospectus, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of any document incorporated by reference

Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated

Condition and Results of Operations-Our Properties&#148; in our Quarterly Report on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-Q</FONT> for the quarterly period ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 which is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date
of this prospectus, we have two apartment properties under contract located in Ridgeland Mississippi and are in the process of completing our due diligence on these properties. One property has 170 units, with a contemplated purchase price of
$20.25&nbsp;million, and the second property has 168&nbsp;units, with a contemplated purchase price of $17.6&nbsp;million. These contracts are subject to customary closing conditions and we cannot provide any assurances that the acquisitions will be
completed. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not consider the acquisition of the second property to be probable because significant open due diligence items must be resolved to our satisfaction. As of the date of this prospectus, we have
proposed or signed non-binding letters of intent regarding the potential acquisition of apartment properties containing approximately 836&nbsp;units, with an estimated aggregate purchase price of approximately $66.85&nbsp;million. Because these
letters of intent are non-binding, we have determined that the acquisitions subject to these letters of intent are not probable as of the date of this prospectus. We cannot assure you that we will acquire any of the properties under contract or
subject to letters of intent or that any actual acquisition price will not be significantly different from what we currently estimate. </P>

Further terms of any series of rights and the applicable rights agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement we will file relating to that series and, with respect to the applicable rights agreements, will be incorporated by

Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered under the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants, or direct participants, deposit with DTC. DTC also records the settlement among
direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through computerized records for direct participants&#146; accounts. This eliminates the need to exchange certificates. Direct participants
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for
DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such
as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules that apply to DTC and its

following description covers the material aspects of these provisions, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully this entire prospectus, our charter and bylaws and the
relevant provisions of Maryland law, for a more complete understanding of these provisions. Copies of our charter and bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the following summary, to the
extent it relates to those documents, is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. See &#147;Where You Can Find Additional Information.&#148; </I></P>

provide that an annual meeting of the stockholders will be held on a date that the board of directors may determine. The purpose of each annual meeting of the stockholders is to elect directors and to transact any other proper business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The chairman, the president, the chief executive officer or the board of directors may call a special meeting of the stockholders. Subject to
compliance with certain procedures set forth in our bylaws, the secretary must call a special meeting to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders when stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting on such matter make a written request for the meeting. In general, the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting will
constitute a quorum. Generally, a majority of the votes cast at a duly called meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter unless our charter or the MGCL require otherwise. </P>

not be more than 15. Except as may be provided by our board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, whether or
not the remaining directors constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies. Any
director may resign at any time by delivering notice to the board of directors, the chairman of the board or the secretary. Further, any director or the entire board may be removed but only for cause by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled
to cast not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors, subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock. A plurality of all the votes cast at a duly called meeting of stockholders at which
a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Amendment of the Organizational Documents </B></P>

compel the board of directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the

statute, then the corporation may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and
limitations. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of the
shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders&#146; meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise
appraisal rights, unless the corporation&#146;s charter or bylaws provide otherwise. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control
share acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The control share acquisition statute does not apply to (a)&nbsp;shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or

there are also differences between the ownership of common stock and partnership units, some of which may be material because they impact the business organization form, distribution rights, voting rights, transferability of equity interests
received and U.S. federal income taxation. Our operating partnership and each limited partner will file separate tax returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of

two classes of units: general partnership units and common units in our operating partnership. General partnership units represent an interest as a general partner in our operating partnership and we, as general partner, will hold all such units. In
return for our initial capital contribution of $200,000, our operating partnership issued to us 20,000 general partnership units. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Common

issued four types of limited partnership units: (1)&nbsp;common units, (2)&nbsp;Series A preferred units, which were issued to us in connection with our sale of shares of our preferred stock,
(3)&nbsp;Series B preferred units, which were issued to RAIT NTR Holdings, LLC in exchange for cash used to fund the acquisition of our Runaway Bay property, and (4)&nbsp;special units, which were also issued to RAIT NTR Holdings, LLC. On
May&nbsp;7, 2013, all outstanding operating partnership common units were exchanged for shares of our common stock, 100 common units were issued to IRT Limited Partner, LLC, which were not exchanged, and RAIT NTR Holdings LLC&#146;s special units
were terminated. Effective August&nbsp;19, 2013,&nbsp;all of the Series B preferred units of our operating partnership were redeemed with a portion of the net proceeds of our August 2013 underwritten offering and all of the Series A preferred units
were redeemed in connection with our redemption of the Series A preferred stock with a portion of the net proceeds of our August 2013 underwritten offering. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For each common unit received, investors generally will be required to contribute money or property, with a net equity value determined by the
general partner. Holders of limited partnership units will not be obligated to make additional capital contributions to our operating partnership. Further, such holders will not have the right to make additional capital contributions to our
operating partnership or to purchase additional limited partnership units without our consent as general partner. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Limited partners do not
have the right to participate in the management of our operating partnership. Limited partners who do not participate in the management of our operating partnership, by virtue of their status as limited partners, generally are not liable for the
debts and liabilities of our operating partnership beyond the amount of their capital contributions. We, however, as the general partner of our operating partnership, are liable for any unpaid debts and liabilities. The voting rights of the limited
partners are generally limited to approval of specific types of amendments to our operating partnership agreement. See &#147;&#151;Management of our Operating Partnership,&#148; above. </P>

the general partner, which decision will be made in our sole discretion. Upon our operating partnership&#146;s liquidation, common units will also share equally in the assets of our operating partnership that are available for distribution, after
payment of all liabilities, establishment of reserves and after payment of any preferred return owed to holders of limited partnership preferred units. In addition, a portion of the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of our operating
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be allocated to each common unit, regardless of whether any distributions are made by our operating partnership. See &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations&#151;Tax Aspects of
Investments in Partnerships,&#148; incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 for a description of the manner in which income, gain, loss and deductions are allocated
under the operating partnership agreement. As general partner, we may amend the allocation and distribution sections of the operating partnership agreement to reflect the issuance of additional units and classes of units without the consent of the
limited partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under certain circumstances, holders of limited partnership units may be restricted from transferring their interests
without the consent of the general partner. See &#147;&#151;Transferability of Interests&#148; below, for a discussion of certain restrictions imposed by the operating partnership agreement on such transfers. After owning a common unit for one year,
common unit holders generally may, subject to certain restrictions, exchange limited partnership units for cash or, at our option, shares of common stock. See &#147;&#151;Limited Partner Exchange Rights,&#148; below, for a description of these
rights and the amount and types of consideration a limited partner is entitled to receive upon exercise of such rights. These exchange rights are accelerated in the case of some extraordinary transactions. See &#147;&#151;Extraordinary

exchange for the issuance of shares of common stock, we will receive one general partnership common unit for each share issued by us. Upon the contribution of the cash or other property received in exchange for the issuance of each share of capital
stock other than common stock, we will receive one unit with rights and preferences respecting distributions corresponding to the rights and preferences of the capital stock that we issued. If we contribute additional capital to our operating
