Further, various city, county and state laws restricting rent increases in times of emergency may come into effect in connection with the pandemic, and numerous state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts have and may continue to affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, including, among others, limitations or prohibitions on evicting tenants unwilling or unable to pay rent and prohibitions on the ability to collect unpaid rent during certain time frames.
Added
Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the recent Covid-19 pandemic, including its conclusion, the availability of and effectiveness of vaccines, the potential short-term and long term effects, including but not limited to shifts in consumer housing demand based on geography, affordability, housing type (e.g., multi-family vs. single family) and unit type (e.g., office studio vs. multi-bedroom), mainly resulting from the paradigm shift of work culture, the decentralization of corporate headquarters and the success of “work from home” models.
Removed
Some residents’ views about their obligations to pay rent, even when financially capable of meeting the rent obligation, have shifted away from viewing rent as a primary and necessary financial obligation, and this shift may continue or worsen as a result of the eviction moratoriums and the various laws affecting our abilities to collect rent.
Added
Moreover, local, state and national measures taken to limit the spread of the recent pandemic have already resulted in significant economic impacts and mortality rates, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted.
Removed
Additionally, market fluctuations as a result of any pandemic may affect our ability to obtain necessary funds for our operations from current lenders or new borrowings.
Added
The extent to which our financial condition or operating results will be effected in the future by any future pandemic will largely depend on future demand and developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
Removed
We may be unable to obtain financing for the acquisition of investments or refinancing for existing assets on satisfactory terms, or at all. 7 Market fluctuations and construction delays, along with increased prices, experienced by our vendors may also negatively impact their ability to provide services to us.
Added
We face risks associated with and have been the target of security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems. The phenomenon of cyber-attacks in general, and cyber-attacks against databases in particular, have become a risk to all companies.
Removed
The global impact of the recent COVID – 19 pandemic continues to evolve and the extent of its effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the timing of distribution and effectiveness of vaccines and the willingness and ability of the public to get vaccinated in a timely manner, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and related containment measures, among others.
Added
We are exposed to cyber-attacks, which may, depending on their success and strength, damage the privacy of the information stored in the databases as well as cause equipment failures, loss, discovery, use, corruption, destruction or appropriation of information, content and valuable technical information. In recent years, cyber-attacks against companies have increased in frequency, scope and potential damage.
Removed
Also, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in this Report.
Added
Malicious damage (such as the introduction of viruses and cyber-attacks) or a large-scale malfunction may adversely affect the group's business and results, including damage to the group's reputation, and the group's financial condition.
Removed
At any time, any tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy.
Added
Any of these events could adversely affect cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness.
Removed
Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial terms than we are able to offer. If the availability of land or high quality properties in our markets diminishes, operating results could be adversely affected. We may experience increased operating costs which could adversely affect our financial results and the value of our properties.
Added
We rely on third party property managers to manage the daily operations of our properties. These management companies are directly responsible for the day-to-day operation of our properties with limited supervision by us, and they often have potentially significant decision-making authority with respect to those properties.
Removed
Our overall performance is largely dependent on economic conditions in those regions. 9 Failure by us, to adequately manage the risks associated with any acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Added
Thus, the success of our business may depend in large part on the ability of our third-party property managers to manage the day-to-day operations, and any adversity experienced by our property managers could adversely impact the operation and profitability of our properties.
Removed
We may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms. We rely on proceeds from property dispositions and third party capital sources for a portion of our capital needs, including capital for acquisitions and development. The public debt and equity markets are also among the sources upon which we rely.
Added
These third parties may fail to manage our properties effectively or in accordance with their agreements with us, may be negligent in their performance and may engage in criminal or fraudulent activity. If any of these events occur, we could incur losses or face liabilities from the loss or injury to our property or to persons at our properties.
Removed
There is no guarantee that we will be able to access these markets or any other source of capital.
Added
In addition, disputes may arise between us and these third-party managers and operators, and we may incur significant expenses to resolve those disputes or terminate the relevant agreement with these third parties and locate and engage competent and cost-effective service providers to operate and manage the relevant properties, which in turn could adversely affect us, including damage to our relationships with such franchisers or we may be in breach of our management agreement.
Removed
The ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including: • general economic conditions affecting these markets; • our own financial structure and performance; • the market’s opinion of real estate companies in general; and • the market’s opinion of real estate companies that own similar properties.
Added
A significant portion of our debt is insured with HUD As of December 31, 2023, we had $128.9 million in mortgage notes payable insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), which represented 72% of our total indebtedness.
Removed
We may suffer adverse effects as a result of terms and covenants relating to our indebtedness. Required payments on our indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of the portfolio declines. If the economic performance declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders may be reduced.
Added
HUD insured loans allow Lenders to extend loans at a relatively low interest rate for terms of up to 40 years for properties under new construction, or up to 35 years for acquisition or refinancing of existing properties. In return for lower interest rates and favorable terms, HUD loans involve extensive regulatory compliance.
Removed
If payments on debt cannot be made, we could sustain a loss or suffer judgments, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees. Further, some obligations contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.
Added
While we hope to continue utilizing HUD insured loans in the future, should we not be able to access such loans, or should HUD cease to permit us to access or assume HUD insured debt, we would likely incur significantly increased interest costs and shorter term conventional loans (assuming we are able to obtain conventional loans) and possibly need to utilize funds from disposal of investments or other properties to finance such activities.
Removed
We anticipate only a small portion of the principal of our debt will be repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, we are likely to refinance a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures.
Added
To the extent that we do so, we are subject to certain risks, including the following: • We may not complete a development or redevelopment project on schedule or within budgeted amounts (as a result of risks beyond our control, such as weather, labor conditions, permitting issues, material shortages and price increases); • We may be unable to lease the developed or redeveloped properties at budgeted rental rates or lease up the property within budgeted time frames; • We may devote time and expend funds on development or redevelopment of properties that we may not complete; • We may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, and other required entitlements, and building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, and our costs to comply with the conditions imposed by such permits and authorizations could increase; • We may encounter delays, refusals and unforeseen cost increases resulting from third-party litigation or objections; and • We may fail to obtain the financial results expected from properties we develop or redevelop; ITEM 1B.
Removed
There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the maturing debt.
Removed
If principal balances due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended, or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as the proceeds of sales of assets or new equity capital, cash flow may not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant “balloon” payments come due.
Removed
Our credit facilities and unsecured debt contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our continued ability to borrow is subject to compliance with financial and other covenants.
Removed
In addition, failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under credit facilities, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available, or be available only on terms that are detrimental to us.
Removed
Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our common stock. The degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes.
Removed
In addition, we might not have access to funds on a timely basis to pay for the unexpected expenditures. Construction costs are funded in large part through construction financing, which we may guarantee.
Removed
Our obligation to pay interest on this financing continues until the rental project is completed, leased-up and permanent financing is obtained, or the project is sold, or the construction loan is otherwise paid. Unexpected delays in completion of one or more ongoing projects could also have a significant adverse impact on business operations and cash flow.
Removed
Development and construction activities entail a number of risks, including but not limited to the following: • we may abandon a project after spending time and money determining its feasibility; • construction costs may materially exceed original estimates; • the revenue from a new project may not be enough to make it profitable or generate a positive cash flow; • we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development of a property, if at all; • we may not complete construction and lease-ups on schedule, resulting in increased development or carrying costs; and • we may not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, necessary governmental permits.
Removed
FACTORS AFFECTING THE INDUSTRY The overall business is subject to all of the risks associated with the real estate industry.
Removed
We are subject to all risks incident to investment in real estate, many of which relate to the general lack of liquidity of real estate investments, including, but not limited to: • our real estate assets are concentrated primarily in the southwest and any deterioration in the general economic conditions of this region could have an adverse effect; • changes in interest rates may make the ability to satisfy overall debt service requirements more burdensome; • lack of availability of financing may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of a property more difficult or unattractive; • changes in real estate and zoning laws; • increases in real estate taxes and insurance costs; • federal or local regulations or rent controls; • acts of terrorism, and • hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other similar natural disasters.
Removed
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with our real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
Removed
Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of our securities, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow will be adversely affected.
Removed
The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the income generated by our properties: 11 • downturns in the national, regional and local economic conditions (particularly increases in unemployment); • competition from other office, apartment and commercial buildings; • local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for office, apartments or other commercial space; • changes in interest rates and availability of financing; • vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-let space; • increased operating costs, including insurance expense, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes and heightened security costs; • civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; • significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property; • declines in the financial condition of our tenants and our ability to collect rents from our tenants; and • decreases in the underlying value of our real estate.
Removed
Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and financial condition.
Removed
Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole or by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located, including the current dislocations in the credit markets and general global economic recession.
Removed
These current conditions, or similar conditions existing in the future, may adversely affect our results of operations, and financial condition as a result of the following, among other potential consequences: • the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected which may result in tenant defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failures or for other reasons; • significant job losses within our tenants may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted; • our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense; • reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans; and • one or more lenders could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could fail and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.
Removed
Real estate investments are subject to a variety of risks. If the communities and other real estate investments do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including debt service and expenditures, cash flow, and the ability to make distributions, the operating income will be adversely affected.
Removed
Income from the communities may be further adversely affected by, among other things, the following factors: • changes in the general or local economic climate, including layoffs, plant closings, industry slowdowns, relocations of significant local employers, and other events negatively impacting local employment rates and wages and the local economy; • local economic conditions in which the communities are located, such as oversupply of housing or a reduction in demand for rental housing; • adverse economic or market conditions due to recent COVID – 19 pandemic lead to a temporary or permanent move by tenants and/or prospective tenants from locations in which our communities are located; • the attractiveness and desirability of our communities to tenants, including, without limitation, the size and amenity offerings of our units, our technology offerings and our ability to identify and cost effectively implement new, relevant technologies and to keep up with constantly changing consumer demand for the latest innovations, including any increased requirements due to the significant increase in the number of people who continue to “work from home”; • inflationary environments in which the cost to operate and maintain communities increases at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents or deflationary environments where we may be exposed to declining rents more quickly under our short-term leases; • competition from other available housing alternatives; • changes in rent control or stabilization laws or other laws regulating housing and other increasing regulation on people and business in locations where our communities are located; • our ability to provide for adequate maintenance and insurance; • declines in the financial condition of our tenants, which may make it more difficult for us to collect rents from some tenants; • any decline in or tenants’ perceptions of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where they are located; and • changes in interest rates and availability of financing.
Removed
As leases at the communities expire, tenants may enter into new leases on terms that are less favorable to us.
Removed
Income and real estate values may also be adversely affected by such factors as applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988, permanent and temporary rent controls, rent stabilization laws, other laws regulating housing that may prevent us from raising rents to offset increased operating expenses, and tax laws.
Removed
National and regional economic environments can negatively impact our liquidity and operating results. Our forecast for the national economy assumes growth of the gross domestic product of the national economy and the economies of the southeastern and southwestern states.
Removed
In the event of a recession or other negative economic effects, including as a result of the COVID – 19 pandemic, we could incur reductions in rental rates, occupancy levels, property valuations and increases in operating costs, such as advertising and turnover expenses.
Removed
Any such recession or similar event may affect consumer confidence and spending and negatively impact the volume and pricing of real estate transactions, which could negatively affect our liquidity and its ability to vary its portfolio promptly in responses to changes to the economy.
Removed
Further, if residents do not experience increases in their income, they may be unable or unwilling to pay rent increases, and delinquency in rent payments and rent defaults may increase as well as vacancy rates. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. 13
