Target BRG Markets

Additional Network Member Markets

BRG selects and continuously evaluates its target markets for strong rentership characteristics which include areas with:

▪ High populations of a young, educated workforce with a high density of “renters by choice”

▪ Jobs of the future such as health care and technology that lead to employment growth

▪ Growing economic base driven by the presence of technology centers, major colleges and universities, health care, trade, next-generation manufacturing, government industries, and modern transportation facilities and networks

▪ Areas with abundant recreation, leisure, cultural, and entertainment options which foster population retention and growth

BRG focuses on demographically attractive growth markets which it defines as markets characterized by growing population and job growth. Employment growth is highly correlated with apartment demand; therefore, BRG believes that selecting markets with job growth significantly above the national average will provide high potential for increase rental demand leading to revenue growth and attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Why Invest in Apartments?

A new study concludes that the U.S. will need 4.6 million apartment units by 2030. Current supply trends indicate that just over three million units will be delivered during that time, leading to an imbalance.

▪ There is limited liquidity and no public market for the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock or Warrants and we do not intend to list them on a securities exchange.

▪ If our Class A common stock is no longer listed on the NYSE American or another national securities exchange, we would be required to terminate the offering and could result in our raising gross proceeds substantially less than if the maximum offering is sold.

▪ Distributions paid from sources other than cash flow or funds from operations may constitute a return of capital and reduce investor returns. Rates of distribution to you may not be indicative of our operating results.

▪ We make no guarantee that we will make distributions.

▪ Our management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the offering of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants, and investors will not be able to evaluate the economic or other merits of our investments made with such proceeds prior to our making them.

▪ Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our satisfaction of numerous regulatory limitations and qualifications.
