We remain bullish on the internal growth prospects within our existing portfolio and investment opportunities in workforce housing across our core markets and look forward to continuing to deliver value and results for our residents and our stockholders," stated, NXRT Chairman and President, Jim Dondero.
Third Quarter Financial Results
The Company recorded net income in the third quarter of 2016 of $8.8 million, which included gain on sales of real estate of $9.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $8.7 million. This compared to a net loss of $(0.9) million for the third quarter of 2015, which included depreciation and amortization of $9.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, NXRT had net income of $25.7 million, which included $25.9 million of gain on sales of real estate and $26.4 million of depreciation and amortization. This compared to net loss of $(9.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included depreciation and amortization of $30.8 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, FFO was $6.9 million, or $0.32 per common share, and AFFO was $16.2 million, or $0.76 per common share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, FFO was $22.7 million, or $1.07 per common share, and AFFO was $48.0 million, or $2.25 per common share.
The change in the Company's net income (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015, primarily relate to strong year-over-year performance of our same store portfolio and the disposition of four properties during the third quarter of 2016, as compared to no dispositions during the third quarter of 2015.
Same Store Properties Operating Results
The Company's Same Store property pool at September 30, 2016 included 32 properties totaling 10,292 units, or approximately 88.5% of the Company's 11,626 units. These Same Store properties represented approximately 85.7% of NXRT's NOI for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Same Store total revenues, NOI, and occupancy increased 10.2%, 12.8%, and 48 basis points to 93.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the third quarter of 2015.
Disposition of Assets
During the third quarter, the Company completed the disposition of Colonial Forest and Park at Blanding in Jacksonville, Florida, Willowdale Crossings in Frederick, Maryland, and Jade Park in Daytona Beach, Florida for a combined $69.7 million of gross sale proceeds, generating an approximate cumulative levered IRR of 17.27% and an approximate equity multiple of 1.39x. Net proceeds from the dispositions were used to retire existing debt, buy back stock and to partially fund the Company's acquisition of The Colonnade (through a 1031 like-kind exchange of Willowdale Crossings) subsequent to quarter end. The exit from the Jacksonville portfolio yielded a 31.5% IRR and 1.62x equity multiple over a 24 month hold period.
Value-Add Programs
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we completed full and partial interior rehabs on 538 and 696 units, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we completed full and partial interior rehabs on 1,475 and 1,543 units, respectively.

Bridge Facility
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid down the entire $29.0 million of principal on its bridge facility, which was funded with $18.0 million of the Company's share of proceeds, net of distributions to noncontrolling interests, from the sales of Park at Regency and Mandarin Reserve, $9.0 million of proceeds drawn under the Company's Credit Facility and $2.0 million of cash on hand. The Bridge Facility was retired on August 2, 2016.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, the Company's floating rate indebtedness (without incurring substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with fixed rate indebtedness when repaid early or refinanced), the Company, through the OP, has entered into four interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank (the "Counterparty") with a combined notional amount of $400.0 million. The interest rate swaps effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR) with a weighted average fixed rate of 0.9956%. During the term of these interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to make monthly fixed rate payments of 0.9956%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while the Counterparty is obligated to make monthly floating rate payments based on one-month LIBOR to the Company referencing the same notional amounts. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
Third Quarter 2016 Dividend
On August 9, 2016, the Company declared its sixth consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.206 per share of NXRT common stock, which was paid on September 30, 2016 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2016.

Same Store total revenues, NOI, and occupancy increased 10.2%, 11.0%, and 87 basis points to 93.9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015.

From time to time, we may sell an asset before the end of the expected holding period, particularly if we receive a bona fide unsolicited offer with attractive terms, if we have an upcoming liquidity need, such as a debt maturing, or if the sale of the asset would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. When reviewing whether a sale is in the best interests of our stockholders, we take into consideration whether market conditions and asset positioning have maximized the value of the property to us and any potential adverse tax consequences of a sale. In some cases, we may determine that a particular market no longer fits within our business strategy and sell assets to exit that market.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, assumptions and beliefs. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as "expect" and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding NXRT's guidance for financial results for the full year 2016. They are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and are encouraged to review NXRT's Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2015, as well as the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that will be filed with the SEC on or before March 30, 2016 for a more complete discussion of the risks and other factors that could affect any forward-looking statements. Except as required by the federal securities laws, NXRT does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changing circumstances or any other reason after the date of this press release.
Definitions and Reconciliations
This press release includes analysis of adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, funds from operations, or FFO, and net operating income, or NOI, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures of performance. These non-GAAP measures should be used as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP. For a more complete discussion of AFFO, FFO, and NOI, see our Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2015, as well as our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, that will be filed with the SEC on or before March 30, 2016. This press release also includes an analysis of our Same Store properties, which are defined as those that are stabilized and comparable for both the current and the prior reporting year. Same Store analysis for the fourth quarter of 2015 includes 25 properties totaling 7,532 units, or approximately 57% of the Company's 13,155 units.
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 shareholders in accordance with NAREIT's definition. Our presentation differs slightly in that we begin with Net Loss before adjusting for noncontrolling interests and show the noncontrolling interests as an adjustment to arrive at FFO attributable to common shareholders. 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 and the amortization of deferred loan costs. AFFO will also be adjusted to include any gains (losses) from sales of property to the extent excluded from FFO and exclude relevant noncontrolling interests. 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.

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 determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as it is not affected by (1) cost of funds, (2) acquisition costs, (3) non-operating fees paid 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 and other gains and losses that are specific to us and (6) entity level general and administrative expenses that are either non-recurring in nature or incurred on behalf of us at the property for expenses such as legal, professional and franchise tax fees.
Same Store Properties
We review our stabilized multifamily communities on a comparable basis between periods. Our Same Store properties are defined as those that are stabilized and comparable for both the current period and the same period for the prior reporting year. There are twenty-five properties meeting this definition for the fourth quarter of 2015: Miramar, Arbors on Forest Ridge, Cutter's Point, Eagle Crest, Meridian, Silverbrook, Timberglen, Toscana, The Grove at Alban, Willowdale Crossing, Edgewater at Sandy Springs, Beechwood Terrace, Willow Grove, Woodbridge, Abbington Heights, Colonial Forest, Courtney Cove, Park at Blanding, Park at Regency, The Summit at Sabal Park, Jade Park, Mandarin Reserve, Timber Creek, Belmont at Duck Creek, and Radbourne Lake.
Reconciliation of Guidance for 2016 NOI, FFO and AFFO
The Company anticipates that net loss will be in the range between $2.0 million to $4.0 million for the full year 2016. The difference between net loss and FFO is depreciation and amortization, which is anticipated to be $35.0 million to $36.0 million for the full year 2016. The difference between FFO and AFFO is deferred loan costs to the extent excluded from FFO, which are anticipated to total approximately $1.1 million for the full year 2016. The difference between net loss and NOI is depreciation and amortization, interest expense, the advisory and administrative fees and the reimbursement of adviser expenses, which are anticipated to total approximately $72.0 million to $74.0 million for the full year 2016. Our guidance assumes we owned all properties for the full year 2016. The Company expects approximately 21,293,825 shares to be outstanding during 2016.

The difference between FFO and AFFO is deferred loan costs, acquisition costs, and gains to the extent excluded from FFO which are anticipated to total approximately $4 million for the full year of 2015. The difference between net loss and NOI is depreciation and amortization, interest expense, acquisition costs, the advisory and administrative fees and the reimbursement of adviser expenses, which are anticipated to total approximately $70 million to $71 million for the full year of 2015 and $16 million to $17 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Rents Rise Faster for Midtier Apartments Than Luxury Ones (8/16/15)
Developers’ focus on high end contributes to shortage of affordable units; construction costs too high to build middle-income housing
By Laura Kusisto
The Verona apartment complex in suburban Denver doesn’t have the flashy amenities some tenants covet. No infinity pool. No rooftop lounge. No concierge service. Still, demand at the 1980s-era complex is so strong that the landlord has raised the rent 72% on some apartments in just two years, after renovations.
Modest apartment buildings like the Verona that cater to middle-class and working-class families are becoming scarcer as fewer are built nationwide and older ones are demolished. That has resulted in a severe shortage of midtier apartments, causing rents for these units to rise at a faster pace than for luxury ones.
Even though construction of multifamily rental properties is running at the highest level in decades, the overwhelming majority of new units—more than 80% in the nation’s largest metropolitan areas—are luxury, according to CoStar Group Inc.
Construction costs are generally too high to justify building new complexes for low- and middle-income tenants, experts say, contributing to the scarcity. For instance, AvalonBay Communities Inc., one of the country’s largest apartment developers, spends $340,000 on average for each unit it builds, according to Dave Bragg, an analyst for Green Street Advisors. The average monthly rent, to make up for construction costs, is projected at $2,900—putting those units near the top end of even pricey apartment markets.
The difference in costs between installing granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances is so slight compared to buying land and installing elevators that economists say developing a luxury apartment and a midtier one comes out roughly the same. Historically, developers could save some money by building low-rise buildings in suburban locations, but even those are becoming increasingly difficult to build as even suburban officials push developers to develop midrise buildings in central locations and reduce sprawl.
New households are also much more likely to be renters than buyers, raising rents. Though rents are rising rapidly for all classes of apartments, the influx of luxury units is starting to slow rent hikes in that category, while the dearth of lower-priced apartments is having the opposite effect.
According to Axiometrics Inc., an apartment research firm based in Dallas, rents during the second quarter of 2015 jumped 5.8% for Class B apartments, which are aimed at middle-class families. These tend to be low-rise suburban buildings from the 1980s, with amenities that often include an outdoor pool, a business center and ample green space. Rents rose 4.9% for Class C apartments, aimed at the working class. Meanwhile, rents grew 4.2% for Class A luxury apartments, which are more likely to be downtown high-rises with city views, infinity pools and doormen.
“Everybody and their mother is out building these Class A apartments,” said Ryan Severino, senior economist at Reis Inc. “Nobody is building B and C apartments.” Research by Reis, which tracks commercial real estate, found that the supply of less expensive apartments, excluding rent-regulated units, has decreased 1.6% since 2002. Over that time, high-end apartment inventory has increased 31%.
In many U.S. cities, fewer units are available to middle-income households, according to a report by New York University’s Furman Center and Capital One Financial Corp. In Miami, middle-income renters could afford 33% of recently available apartments in 2013, down from 40% in 2006. In Philadelphia, 35% were affordable to such renters, compared with 45% in 2006.
Even though rents are rising faster on middle-class apartments, they are still considerably less expensive than luxury apartments. Rents for Class A apartments, which make up the top 20% of the market, averaged $1,702 in the second quarter, according to Axiometrics. Class B rents, which make up the middle 60%, averaged $1,192 and Class C rents averaged $845.
In the Denver area, for example, rents average $1,686 a month for luxury apartments, $1,290 for midtier and $965 for lower-end, according to Axiometrics. In Boston, it is $3,345 for luxury, nearly $2,050 for midtier and $1,486 for the most affordable units. In the San Francisco area, Class A apartments are more than $4,000, Class B are $3,125 and Class C are more than $2,200.
At the Verona in Littleton, Colo., applications from prospective tenants are piling up, prompting the management to work “faster, faster, faster,” to turn over vacant units, said Kevin Finkel, executive vice president at Philadelphia-based Resource Real Estate, which owns the complex and other midtier apartment buildings around the country. About half of the monthly rents turn into profit for the company, Mr. Finkel said.
Resource Real Estate purchased the Verona in 2013, paying about $30 million for the 300-unit complex that includes 12 low-rise buildings. The apartments featured beige carpeting, dark brown cupboards and fake brick fireplaces. Resource poured between $3 million and $4 million into upgrades, including laminate countertops and faux wood floors. Rents are now pushing $1,500 a month for some two-bedroom units that had brought in $871 a month before Resource took over.
Traffic from potential renters calling and touring the complex has risen 25% since Resource began renovations. To keep up, the company has renovation teams working double shifts to get units ready for new renters and it has also cut down on marketing.
Mr. Finkel said the Verona appeals to millennials who can’t afford to buy a suburban house or rent a luxury apartment in Denver. Tenants are often single parents looking for an affordable place to live in a community with good schools.
Ian Cochrane, a 39-year-old artist with two children, recently moved into the building after rent on the single-family home where he lived, in the suburb of Aurora, was set to rise to nearly $1,900 from $1,595. Mr. Cochrane, who was divorced in January, said the new apartment is more affordable at around $1,350 a month and has a saltwater pool and good schools for his daughter, 5, and son, 10.
Denver, a historically affordable city for the middle class, has become less so as both rents and house prices have risen sharply. Overall, rents in the city were up 6% over the past year, according to Reis. Mr. Cochrane, who spent six years as a stay-at-home dad and relies on alimony payments to cover the rent, said the new apartment is affordable but he has little room to save. “It can be a struggle for sure,” he said.
Nationwide, rent increases are inflating the pool of families classified as rent burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing. A report released last month by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies found that one in five renter households with income of $45,000 to $75,000 a year was rent-burdened in 2013, up from about 18% in 2008 and 15% in 2003.
Experts said that while some of the luxury apartments under construction today could eventually become more affordable due to oversupply, that isn’t likely to help middle-class renters soon.
“The gap between what is the top of the market and what’s truly affordable has gotten so large that the odds of the new stuff ultimately becoming affordable is much smaller now than it has been in the past,” said Andrew Jakabovics, senior director of policy development and research for Enterprise Community Partners, an affordable-housing group.

Where Are All the Middle-Class Rentals? (6/24/15)
The rent affordability crunch moves up the economic ladder as most new apartments are built to luxury specs
by Patrick Clark
Ryan Dravitz and a roommate shared a spacious apartment in Denver, paying $1,200 a month for 1,200 square feet in a high-rise building a mile from the center of downtown. Then, in 2012, the rental market exploded. The roommate moved out, and Dravitz, 26, moved into a house with four others. His old apartment is now renting for $2,000.
“Luckily, I got engaged recently, so we have a dual income,” said Dravitz, a bank teller and freelance writer and editor. Even so, it’s unlikely the couple will be able to afford to stay downtown, where rents are rising rapidly, and new rental buildings with such amenities as golf simulators and dog spas are becoming increasingly common.
Skyrocketing rents and multiple roommates—these are the kinds of war stories you expect to hear in space-constrained cities such as New York and San Francisco. But the rental crunch has been steadily creeping inland from coastal cities and up the economic ladder.
“For lower-income households, affordability has been a problem for decades,” says Stockton Williams, executive director at the Urban Land Institute’s Terwilliger Center for Housing. “Now you have people in middle-income, two-earner households who are paying unsustainable rents.”
For builders, the logic is clear. Profit margins are often better at the high end, and costly such amenities as floor-to-ceiling windows and high-end appliances help entice new tenants—as long as there's a market of renters who can afford the pricier digs.
“When you build something new, you want to push the quality up to give people a reason to move up,” says Cary Bruteig, a partner at Apartment Insights who tracks the Denver market.
Here's the vicious circle that's sending rents spiraling higher:
1.People paying high rents have a harder time saving for a down payment, preventing tenants from exiting the rental market.
2.Low vacancy rates let landlords raise rents still higher.
3.Developers who know they can command high rents (and sales prices) are spurred to spend more to acquire developable land.
4.Higher land costs can force builders to target the higher end of the market.
Real estate developers in the U.S. started work on 360,000 new apartments last year, the most in more than 25 years, though not necessarily on homes most Americans can afford. In 2013, the median rent for a new apartment was $1,290, about 50 percent of the median renter’s monthly income, according to data published today by Harvard’s Joint Center on Housing Studies. Eighty-two percent of the new units completed from 2012 to 2014 were luxury apartments, according to CoStar Group research cited by the Wall Street Journal.
In Denver, the story of the rental affordability crunch starts at the tail end of the housing boom, after the easier path to home ownership had curtailed demand for new rental apartments. The local economy roared to life after the recession, workers flocked to the city, and rental prices shot up. Rents rose 10.2 percent last year, according to a February report from Zillow, the third-highest rate among U.S. cities, after San Francisco and San Jose.
Developers moved to soak up the new demand. Based on projects currently under construction, developers will have added close to 11,000 apartments within 1.5 miles of the city center from 2010 to 2016, according to an estimate by Ken Schroeppel, founder of the DenverInfill blog, which tracks new construction. About 96 percent of those units are rentals.
In addition to higher absolute rents, apartment dwellers are paying more for less. Two-thirds of new apartments built in Denver from 2010 to 2015 were one-bedrooms or studios, compared to just under half from 2000 to 2009, according to Pat Stucker, managing director at Jones Lang LaSalle's Denver Capital Markets group. Downsized apartments include new pie-slice units at Turntable Studios, a circular building that was once a downtown hotel. The smallest are 330 square feet and rent for up to $1,000 a month.
In a perfect world, affluent renters would trickle up into new, luxury units, while rates on plainer units would come down or stay the same. But the vacancy rate on Denver apartments is just 4.3 percent, according to Bruteig. Until that number rises, demand is likely to keep rents high.
The same dynamic holds true nationally, as the share of Americans who rent their housing is at a 20-year high and likely to keep rising. A report earlier this month from the Urban Institute predicts that 59 percent of new households formed from 2010 to 2020 will rent.
“The real question," says Stucker of Jones Lang LaSalle, "is how long can that last before you reach a level that is not affordable to the majority of the demographic that you’re trying to service."

NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund Announces Record and Distribution Dates for REIT Spin-Off (3/11/15)
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (NYSE: NHF) announced today that its Board of Trustees has approved the separation of its business into two separate and independent publicly traded companies:
• NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (“NHF”), which will continue to operate as a non-diversified, closed-end investment company; and
• NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (“NXRT”), which will acquire, own, operate and selectively develop multifamily properties.
The Board of Trustees has approved, and NHF plans to effect the separation through, a spin-off in which NHF will distribute all of the outstanding shares of NXRT common stock to NHF’s shareholders on a pro rata basis. The distribution will be made to NHF shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 23, 2015, the record date for the distribution. The shares are expected to be distributed on March 31, 2015.
In the distribution, shareholders of NHF will receive one share of NXRT common stock for every three NHF common shares held as of the close of business on the record date. No fractional shares will be distributed in connection with the spin-off. A cash payment will be made in lieu of any fractional shares.
Following the spin-off, NXRT will be a separate publicly traded company distinct from NHF, and NHF will not retain any NXRT common stock. NHF will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol "NHF," while NXRT expects to list its common stock on NYSE under the symbol "NXRT."
NXRT will be externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P., an affiliate of NexPoint Advisors, L.P., the advisor for NHF, and an affiliate of Highland Capital Management, L.P., a leading global alternative asset manager and an SEC-registered investment advisor that, together with its affiliates, has approximately $20.2 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2014. NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. will conduct substantially all of NXRT’s operations and manage NXRT’s real estate investments. The members of the management team of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. are expected to be James Dondero, Brian Mitts, Matt McGraner, Matthew Goetz, and Scott Ellington. The management team has significant experience across real estate investing, private lending, and private equity.
It is expected that, beginning on or shortly before March 23, 2015 through March 31, 2015, there will be two markets in NHF shares:
• a "regular-way" market in which NHF shares will trade with an entitlement to receive shares of NXRT common stock on the distribution date; and
• an "ex-distribution" market in which NHF shares will trade without an entitlement to receive shares of NXRT common stock on the distribution date.
During this time period, it is also expected that shares of NXRT common stock will begin trading on a "when-issued" basis. On the first trading day following the distribution date, all NHF shares and shares of NXRT common stock will be traded only on a "regular-way" market.
No action is required by NHF shareholders in order to receive shares of NXRT common stock in the distribution. An information statement containing details of the spin-off and information about NXRT will be mailed to NHF shareholders prior to the distribution date.
The spin-off is conditioned on NXRT's registration statement being declared effective by the SEC and NYSE’s authorization to list NXRT’s shares on NYSE and other conditions described in the registration statement. NHF also reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the distribution if, at any time prior to the distribution date, the Board of Trustees of NHF determines that the spin-off is not in the best interests of NHF and its shareholders, or that market conditions or other circumstances are such that the spin-off is no longer advisable. If NHF’s Board of Trustees abandons the spin-off, NHF will be responsible for all the expenses and other costs associated with the spin-off.
The distribution will not qualify for tax-free treatment. NHF shareholders are urged to consult their financial advisers and tax advisers regarding the particular consequences of the distribution in their situation, including, without limitation, the specific implications of selling NHF shares on or prior to the distribution date and the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax laws.
