including property management contracts relating to apartment properties owned, as of September&nbsp;26, 2016, by us (46&nbsp;properties, totaling 12,982&nbsp;units), RAIT (13&nbsp;properties, totaling 3,493&nbsp;units) and third parties (five

10% withholding requirement was increased to 15% under the Act. Consequently, although we intends to withhold at a rate of 30% on the entire amount of any distribution, to the extent we do not do so, we may withhold at a rate of 15% on any portion

in geographic submarkets that we believe support strong occupancy and have the potential for growth in rental rates. We seek to provide stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns, with an emphasis on distributions and capital appreciation.
We are externally advised by a wholly-owned subsidiary of RAIT Financial Trust, or RAIT (NYSE: RAS), a multi-strategy commercial real estate company organized as an internally managed REIT with approximately $3.6&nbsp;billion of assets under
management as of December&nbsp;31, 2013. RAIT invests primarily in commercial mortgages and, to a lesser extent, apartment properties. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with
our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We

<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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our
