We are a non-traded, perpetual-life, net asset value (“NAV”) real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

From August 13, 2018 to December 22, 2020 we conducted an initial public offering of our common stock (the “Initial Offering”), for which we raised gross proceeds of $122.0 million. The Initial Offering ended in December 2020. In November 2021, we registered with the SEC an offering of up to $1.0 billion of shares of common stock (the “Follow-on Offering”), consisting of up to $900.0 million in shares of common stock offered in a primary offering (the “Primary Offering”) and $100.0 million in shares under our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP Offering”).

Cottonwood Multifamily Opportunity Fund, Inc. Merger
On July 8, 2022, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Cottonwood Multifamily Opportunity Fund, Inc. (“CMOF”) and its operating partnership (the “CMOF OP”) to merge CMOF with and into our wholly owned subsidiary and the CMOF OP with and into CROP through the exchange of stock-for-stock and units-for-units (the “CMOF Merger”). The CMOF Merger closed in September 2022.
CMOF stockholders received 0.8669 shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for each share of their CMOF common stock. We issued 4,335,367 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the CMOF Merger, at an aggregate value of $89.7 million on the close date.
In connection with the merger of the CMOF OP with and into CROP, the CMOF OP partnership units outstanding held by third parties were converted into CROP common units at the same ratio as the common stock.
CROP was a joint venture partner with CMOF in all three of CMOF’s investments: Park Avenue (a development project), Cottonwood Broadway (a development project) and Block C (a joint venture owning land held for development in two projects called The Westerly and Millcreek North). Following the CMOF Merger, we acquired CMOF’s interest in the joint ventures, increasing our percentage ownership interest as follows: Park Avenue, 100.0%, Cottonwood Broadway, 100.0% and Block C, 79.0%. The three development projects acquired with the CMOF Merger were already consolidated by us. Refer to Note 3 and Note 10 for more information on Block C.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs in the Follow-on Offering are paid by purchasers of the shares through an adjustment to the purchase price of the share or their distribution (depending on the class of share purchased) or by us. They are recorded as an offset to equity. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, $18.1$17.9 million in organization and offering costs had been incurred in connection with the Follow-on Offering.

Organization and offering costs in the 2019 Private Offering and 2023 Private OfferingOfferings were and are paid by us. Offering costs are deferred and amortized up to the redemption date through interest expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amended the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. The standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine and record credit loss estimates. The adoption has not had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements through JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

There was also an imbalance in the partnership equity amounts between us and our limited partners where the net equity balance did not correlate to the respective partners’ ownership percentage. Each period the ownership of CROP varies between us, as the general partner, and the limited partners of CROP. This happens for variety of reasons, including the issuance of common stock at NAV, the redemption of common stock (often at a discount to NAV), the exchange or transfer of OP Units, the issuance of LTIP Units, and the issuance of common stock or OP Units to facilitate mergers and acquisitions. Transactions that change our ownership interest in CROP are accounted for as equity transactions if we retain our controlling financial interest in CROP and no gain or loss is recognized in net income. Accordingly, the net equity balance in CROP should be adjusted to reflect the changes in ownership of the operating partnership between us and the limited partners. These adjustments are based on their respective ownership at the end of each period and reflected as a reallocation between additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest - limited partners within our equity section on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. These immaterial reallocations have no impact on our net income, cash flows or the value of our OP Units. The following table summarizes the effects of these reallocations (in thousands):

Cottonwood Lighthouse Point Transaction

On February 14, 2023, we sold tenant-in-common interests in Cottonwood Lighthouse Point to certain unaffiliated third parties for $13.6 million, reducing our ownership from 100% to 86.8%. As a result of this transaction, Cottonwood Lighthouse Point was deconsolidated on February 14, 2023 and our remaining ownership in Lighthouse Point is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated real estate. Refer to Note 4. We recorded a gain on sale of $1.0 million related to this transaction.

805 Riverfront Consolidation

We have a preferred equity investment in 805 Riverfront, a multifamily development project located in West Sacramento, CA (the “Riverfront Project”). On September 8, 2023, the sponsor of the Riverfront Project was removed as the manager and developer due to events of default, whereupon we became the manager and replacement developer with control of the project. Prior to this event, our preferred equity investment was accounted for as an equity method investment.

The entity controlling the Riverfront Project is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). When we consolidate a VIE that is not a business, a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the sum of (1) the fair value of any consideration paid, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest, and the reported amount of our previous interest and (2) the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the VIE. For 805 Riverfront, no consideration was paid and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest on the date of consolidation was zero. We recorded a gain of $4.5 million as follows (in thousands):

6.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, related party payables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon settlement.

16

Table of Contents
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including:
Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time);
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatility, default rates); and
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

Advisor Compensation

CC Advisors III manages our business as our external advisor and, under the terms of our advisory agreement, performs certain services for us, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; and the management of our business. These activities are all subject to oversight by our board of directors. Our advisor is entitled to receive fees and compensation for services provided as mentioned below.

Asset Management Fee. Under the amended and restated advisory agreement entered May 7, 2021 and renewed through May 7, 2024, CROP pays our advisor a monthly management fee equal to 0.0625% of GAV (gross asset value of CROP, calculated pursuant to our valuation guidelines and reflective of the ownership interest held by CROP in such gross assets), subject to a cap. Through September 19, 2023, the cap was equal to 0.125% of 0.125%net asset value of CROP. Effective September 19, 2023, the cap was amended to be based on “adjusted net asset value”, which is defined to include the value attributable to preferred stock that is convertible into common equity in the calculation of net asset value of CROP.

Asset management fees to our advisor for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 were $4.6$4.2 million and $4.3$4.6 million, respectively.

Performance Participation Allocation. In addition to the fees paid to our advisor for services provided pursuant to our advisory agreement, CC Advisors - SLP, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor and the Special Limited Partner at CROP, holds a performance participation interest in CROP that entitles it to receive an allocation of CROP's total return to its capital account. The performance participation allocation is an incentive fee indirectly paid to our advisor and receipt of the allocation is subject to the ongoing effectiveness of the advisory agreement. As the performance participation allocation is associated with the performance of a service by the advisor, it is expensed in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total return is defined as all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on Participating Partnership units (all units in CROP with the exception of preferred units and the Special Limited Partner Interest) plus the change in the aggregate net asset value of such Participating Partnership units. The annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner only after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other unit holders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The performance participation allocation is ultimately determined at the end of each calendar year, accrues monthly and will be paid in cash or Class I units at the election of the Special Limited Partner after the completion of each calendar year.

Due to the decrease in net asset value, no performance participation allocation was incurred during the three or sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023. In March 2023, theThe $20.3 million performance participation allocation incurred as a result of the increase in the value of our net assets and dividends paid to stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2022 was paid in cash.cash during the first quarter of 2023.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References herein to “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cottonwood Communities, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements about our business, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The following is a summary of the principal risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and an investment in our common stock.

We depend on our advisor to identify suitable investments and to manage our investments. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

There is no public trading market for shares of our common stock and the repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase program provides stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our discretion. In addition, repurchases are subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase program if in its reasonable judgment it deems a suspension to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when a repurchase request would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer.

The offering price and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally based on our prior month’s NAV plus, in the case of our offering price, applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and are not based on any public trading market. In addition to being up to a month old when share purchases and repurchases take place, our NAV does not currently represent our enterprise value and may not accurately reflect the actual prices at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day, the value a third party would pay for all or substantially all of our shares, or the price that our shares would trade at on a national stock exchange. Furthermore, our board of directors may amend our NAV procedures from time to time. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.

We have paid distributions from offering proceeds and may continue to fund distributions with offering proceeds. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds from our offering that we may use to fund distributions. To the extent we fund distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investment in multifamily apartment communities and multifamily real estate-related assets and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. Distributions may also be paid from other sources such as borrowings, advances or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements. During the early stages of our operations, these distributions may constitute a return of capital.

Certain of our officers and our directors are also officers and directors of our sponsor, advisor and their affiliates and, as a result, are subject to conflicts of interest, including conflicts arising from time constraints and the fact that the fees our advisor receives for services rendered to us are based on our NAV, which our advisor is responsible for determining.

We pay certain fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length and therefore may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties.

2022

Table of Contents
Development projects in which we invest will be subject to potential development and construction delays which could result in increased costs and risks and may hinder our operating results and ability to make distributions.

We may incur significant debt in certain circumstances, including through the issuance of preferred equity that is accounted for as debt. Our use of leverage increases the risk of an investment in us. Loans we obtain may be collateralized by some or all of our investments, which will put those investments at risk of forfeiture if we are unable to pay our debts. Principal and interest payments on these loans and dividend payments on our preferred shares reduce the amount of money that would otherwise be available for other purposes.

Volatility in the debt markets could affect our ability to obtain financing for investments or other activities related to real estate assets and the diversification or value of our portfolio, potentially reducing cash available for distribution to our stockholders or our ability to make investments. In addition, volatility in the debt markets could negatively impact our loans with variable interest rates.

Our operating results will be affected by global and national economic and market conditions generally and by the local economic conditions where our properties are located, including supply chain disruptions, the current economic slowdown, the rising interest rate environment and inflation; and changes in government rules, regulations and fiscal policies, such as property taxes, zoning laws, limitations on rental rates, and compliance costs with respect to environmental laws.

There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.

If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT, it would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders because we will be subject to United States federal income tax at regular corporate rates with no ability to deduct distributions made to our stockholders.

We restated our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for each of the quarterly periods therein (the “Restatement”). As a result of the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and as a result of the material weakness, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2022, which conclusion could harm our business. The Restatement and related identification of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting could subject us to increased risk of litigation.

Additional risks related to our business are discussed herein under Part II - “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Reportas filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,October 13, 2023. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Performance Participation Allocation

The performance participation allocation, as defined in our operating partnership agreement, is based on the total return to unit holders each year and paid to an affiliate of our advisor. Total return is primarily driven by appreciation to NAV and also includes distributions paid. No performance allocation was recorded during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 as the required return hurdles were not met. The increase in NAV during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 resulted in an additional performance allocation expense of $10.1$1.1 million for that period. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the performance participation allocation.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $5.5$6.2 million. The acquisitions of Cottonwood Lighthouse Point, Cottonwood Clermont and Cottonwood Ridgeview in 2022 and Melrose Phase II in 2023 accounted for $1.6$1.0 million of the increase, higher interest rates and mortgage balances accounted for $3.2$4.1 million of the increase, and the issuance of 2023 Preferred Stock accounted for $1.0$1.6 million.

Gain on Sale of Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

In the second quarter of 2022, we sold our entire interest in 3800 Main and a partial interest in Alpha Mill, both equity method investments, and recorded a gaingains of $7.6$7.8 million. No such sales occurred in 2023.

Promote from Incentive Allocation Agreement

In 2018, CROP sold a portfolio of 12 properties to an unrelated real estate firm. Under the sales arrangement, CROP entered into an incentive allocation agreement that entitled CROP to participate in distributions from the portfolio should returns exceed certain amounts. During the first quarter of 2022 the real estate firm sold the portfolio of properties. Our taxable REIT subsidiary realized a promote distribution of $30.3 million from the sale in the first quarter of 2022. We managed the portfolio on behalf of the real estate firm prior to the portfolio being sold. No such promote was realized in 2023.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased $8.1$8.6 million primarily due to the tax liability associated with the promote distribution from the incentive allocation agreement that was recorded in 2022. No significant tax liability was recorded in 2023.

Same Store Results of Operations

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our property operating results. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses for stabilized properties, both consolidated and unconsolidated. While we believe our net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance, we consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure. We believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, interest expense, gains on sale of real estate, other income and expense, and noncontrolling interests. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such items which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, therefore, our investors should consider net income (loss) as the primary indicator our overall financial performance.

We evaluate the performance of our operating properties using a same store analysis because the population of properties is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of any material changes in the composition of the aggregate portfolio on performance measures. Our same store portfolio includes consolidated and unconsolidated stabilized properties which we manage and have ownership interests in for the entirety of both current and prior years. Operating properties excluded from same store include development properties that have undergone lease up and properties that have been

Table of Contents
acquired and/or consolidated during the same store reporting period. We believe the drivers of NOI for our consolidated stabilized properties listed above are generally the same for our unconsolidated properties, of which we own on average 67.2%. Therefore we evaluate same store NOI based on our ownership in the properties within the same store portfolio. Our same store analysis may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than current GAAP methodology.

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our same store portfolio consisted of 1920 consolidated properties, representing approximately 5,5005,700 units, and 54 unconsolidated properties, representing approximately 1,4001,300 units. The weighted average occupancy rate for the same store portfolio was 93.2%93.9% at Juneboth September 30, 2023 compared to 95.7% at Juneand September 30, 2022.

Funds from Operations

We believe funds from operations, or FFO, is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT and of our company. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), gains and losses from change in control, impairment losses on real estate assets, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for our share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.

We adjust FFO by the items below to arrive at Core FFO. Our management uses Core FFO as a measure of our operating performance. Prior to thisthe quarter ended June 30, 2023, the performance participation allocation was excluded from Core FFO. BeginningAs of June 30, 2023, and going forward, the performance participation allocation ishas and will be included in Core FFO. Core FFO for all prior periods has been adjusted to reflect this change. Our calculation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjusting for non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

Net Asset Value

Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation guidelines, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our net asset value (“NAV”). Pursuant to these valuation procedures, we computed a JuneSeptember 30, 2023 NAV per share for our outstanding Class T, Class D, Class I, and Class A shares of $17.4638.$15.8195.

The purchase price per share for each class of common stock will vary and will generally equal our prior month’s NAV per share, as determined monthly, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Please see “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in our prospectus for a detailed description of our valuation guidelines.

CROP has certain classes or series of OP Units that are each economically equivalent to a corresponding class of shares. Accordingly, on the last day of each month, for such classes or series of OP Units, the NAV per OP Unit equals the NAV per share of the corresponding class. To the extent CROP has classes of units that do not correspond to a class of our shares, such units will be valued in a manner consistent with our valuation guidelines. The NAV of CROP on the last day of each month equals the sum of the NAVs of each fully-diluted outstanding OP Unit on such day. In calculating the fully-diluted outstanding OP Units we include all outstanding vested LTIP Units, unvested time-based LTIP Units and those performance-based LTIP Units that would be earned based on the internal rate of return as of such day.

Our total NAV in the following table includes the NAV of our outstanding classes of common stock, as well as the partnership interests of CROP held by parties other than us. The following table sets forth the components of our NAV as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 (in thousands except share data):

Policies Regarding Operating Expenses

For the four consecutive quarters ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our total operating expenses were less than the 2%/25% Limitation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for the acquisition of multifamily apartment communities and investments in multifamily real estate-related assets;assets, including funding commitments on our structured investments; operating expenses, including the management fee we pay to our advisor and the performance participation allocation (when applicable); capital expenditures, including those on our development projects; general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; repurchases of common and preferred stock; and payments of distributions to stockholders.

Factors which could increase or decrease our future liquidity include but are not limited to operating performance of the properties, the rising interest rate environment and inflation which could increase our expenses, and the satisfaction of REIT dividend requirements.requirements and the volume of repurchase requests under our share purchase program. Recently, we have seen an increase in the amount of repurchase requests, all of which we have satisfied to date. Due to commitments on our structured investments and development projects, which we believe will be accretive to our portfolio, our available cash to fund repurchase requests is limited. We are pursuing the potential sale of Cottonwood One Upland, to strengthen our liquidity position and enhance our ability to fund repurchase requests and anticipate we will be able to fully fund repurchase requests .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Previously Reported Material Weakness

As disclosed in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on October 13, 2023, we previously identified a material weakness in the design of our review control over the statement of cash flows, specifically in identifying, evaluating, and addressing noncash components. This was due to an ineffective risk assessment regarding the impact of noncash activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Because of this ineffective risk assessment, the cash flow review control, which is at the process level, was not designed with an attribute to address the incremental risk of noncash transactions. This ineffective design resulted in errors in the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows and resulted in the restatement of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for each of the quarterly periods in the year ended December 31, 2022.

    Management is in the process of remediating the material weakness and believes that the consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material aspects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation

We have commenced measures to remediate the identified material weakness. We have added an attribute to our cash flow review control to identify noncash components quarterly. Noncash components identified will be evaluated and addressed for presentation in the statement of cash flows. The review of the cash flow and changes within will be documented by the control owner and reviewed by the Chief Accounting Officer.

We began to implement these changes to our cash flow review control during our review of the third quarter 2023 financial statements and identified immaterial adjustments to the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additional information regarding these errors is included in Note 2 to our financial statements herein.

Until the material weakness is remediated, we will continue to perform these procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the control is operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that this control is effective.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please see the risks discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarter Reportas filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31,October 13, 2023.

Risks Related to our Company

We have incurred net losses under GAAP in the past and may incur net losses in the future, and we have an accumulated deficit and may continue to have an accumulated deficit in the future.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, we had consolidated net losses of $30.9$44.4 million and $34.0 million, respectively. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $87.8$94.7 million. These amounts largely reflect the expense of real estate depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP, which was $29.0$43.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and $54.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2022 also included $20.3 million of charges related to the performance participation allocation. There was no performance participation allocation for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

Net loss and accumulated deficit are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments to be calculatedinvestments. We calculate depreciation on a straight-line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments will decrease evenly over a set time period. However, we believe that the value of real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions. Thus, in addition to GAAP financial metrics, management reviews certain non-GAAP financial metrics, funds from operations, or FFO and Core FFO. FFO measures operating performance that excludes gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for our share of consolidated and unconsolidated entities. See Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations– Funds from Operations” for considerations on how to review this metric.

We have paid distributions from offering proceeds. In the future we may continue to fund distributions with offering proceeds. To the extent we fund distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investment in multifamily apartment communities and multifamily real estate-related assets and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced.

Our charter permits us to make distributions from any source, including offering proceeds or borrowings (which may constitute a return of capital), and our charter does not limit the amount of funds we may use from any source to pay such distributions. We intend to make distributions on our common stock on a per share basis with each share receiving the same distribution, subject to any class-specific expenses such as distribution fees on our Class T and Class D shares. If we fund distributions from financings, our offerings or other sources, we will have less funds available for investment in multifamily apartment communities and other multifamily real estate-related assets and the number of real estate properties that we invest in and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. If we fund distributions from borrowings, our interest expense and other financing costs, as well as the repayment of such borrowings, will reduce our earnings and cash flow from operations available for distribution in future periods. If we fund distributions from the sale of assets or the maturity, payoff or settlement of multifamily real estate-related assets, this will affect our ability to generate cash flows from operations in future periods.

During our operations, it is likely that we will use sources of funds, which may constitute a return of capital to fund distributions. During our offering stage, when we may raise capital more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after, we may not be able to make distributions solely from our cash flow from operations. Further, because we may receive income from our investments at various times during our fiscal year and because we may need cash flow from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, we expect that at least during the early stages of our existence and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare distributions in anticipation of cash flow that we expect to receive during a later period and we will make these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In addition, to the extent our investments are in development or redevelopment projects or in properties that have significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially during our early
3740

Table of Contents
periods of operation. In these instances, we expect to look to third party borrowings to fund our distributions. We may also fund such distributions from the sale of assets. To the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operations, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, we paid aggregate distributions to common stockholders and limited partnership unit holders of $25.4$35.8 million and $44.4$42.2 million, including $24.0$33.9 million and $42.2$40.0 million of distributions paid in cash and $1.4$1.9 million and $2.2 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan, respectively. Our net loss for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 was $30.9$44.4 million and $34.0 million, respectively. Cash flows used in operating activities were $23.5$17.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and cash flows provided by operating activities were $3.8$1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. We funded our total distribution paid during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, which includes net cash distributions and distribution reinvestment by stockholders, with $24.0$4.7 million prior period cash provided by operating activities, $29.2 million from additional borrowings and $1.4$1.9 million of offering proceeds from issuance of common stock pursuant to the DRP. We funded our total distributions paid during 2022, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $18.6$23.0 million prior period cash provided by operating activities, $14.0$7.9 million from additional borrowings, and $9.6$9.1 million of offering proceeds.proceeds, and $2.2 million of offering proceeds from issuance of common stock pursuant to the DRP. See Part I. Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Distributions” for additional information on an adjustment to our source of funding for distributions for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Generally, for purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior periods to fund distribution payments. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution. In addition, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operating activities, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain.

IfYour ability to have your shares repurchased through our share repurchase program is limited. We may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased, in our discretion at any time, and the amount of shares we failmay repurchase is subject to caps. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders.

We may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested in any particular month to be repurchased under our share repurchase program, or none at all, in our discretion at any time. We may repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased due to lack of readily available funds because of adverse market conditions beyond our control, the need to maintain liquidity for our operations or because we have determined that investing in real property or other illiquid investments is a better use of our capital than repurchasing our shares. In addition, the total amount of shares that we will repurchase is limited, in any calendar month, to shares whose aggregate value (based on the repurchase price per share on the date of the repurchase) is no more than 2% of the aggregate NAV of our common stock outstanding as of the last day of the previous calendar month and, in any calendar quarter, to shares whose aggregate value is no more than 5% of the aggregate NAV of our common stock outstanding as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase program if in its reasonable judgment it deems a suspension to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when a repurchase request would place an effective systemundue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company that would outweigh the benefit of internal controls,the repurchase offer. Once the share repurchase program is suspended, our board of directors must consider at least quarterly whether the continued suspension of the share repurchase program is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. Our board of directors cannot terminate our share repurchase program absent a liquidity event which results in stockholders receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange or where otherwise required by law. If the full amount of all shares of our common stock requested to be repurchased in any given month are not repurchased, funds will be allocated pro rata based on the total number of shares of common stock being repurchased without regard to class and subject to the volume limitation. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase program, as applicable.

The vast majority of our assets consist of properties that cannot generally be readily liquidated without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition. Therefore, we may not be ablealways have a sufficient amount of cash to accurately determine our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, the Company’s stockholders could lose confidenceimmediately satisfy repurchase requests. Should repurchase requests, in our financial results, which could harmjudgment, place an undue burden on our business andliquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the valuecompany as a whole, or should we otherwise determine

that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company’s shares.

Effective internal controls are necessary for usCompany as a whole, then we may choose to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. Section 404repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all. Recently, we have seen an increase in the amount of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires usrepurchase requests. Currently, our cash available to evaluate and reportfund share repurchases is limited due to commitments on our internal controls over financial reporting.

No assurances can be certainprovided, however, that we will be successful in maintaining adequate internal controls overachieving our financial reportingliquidity strategy for funding share repurchases.Because we are not required to authorize the recommencement of the share repurchase program within any specified period of time, we may effectively terminate the plan by suspending it indefinitely. As a result, your ability to have your shares repurchased by us may be limited and financial processes.

If we or our independent auditors were to conclude our internal controls were ineffective due to a material weakness, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and returns to our stockholders and make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

During the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we sold equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act as described below.

On December 13, 2022, we launched the offering our our Series 2023 Private Offering,Preferred Stock, a best-efforts private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

No Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

On August 2, 2023, Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP (“CROP”) issued 175,077 operating partnership units to acquire the remaining 20.2% tenant-in-common interests in Melrose Phase II. The value of the units was $3.1 million based on the net asset value of the units as of May 31, 2023. The issuance of such shares of units was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

We issued 79,826 shares of Class I common stock upon exchange of 79,826 OP Units held by various limited partners. The issuance of such shares of common stock was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on the exemption based on representations given by the holders of the OP Units. The Class I common stock was issued at the most recently disclosed NAV of the Company as determined based on the valuation guidelines adopted by its board of directors.

Share Repurchase Program

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we choose to repurchase shares in any particular month, we will only repurchase shares as of the opening of the last calendar day of that month (a “Repurchase Date”). Effective for repurchases as of November 2023 we have amended our share repurchase program to provide that repurchased shares will remain outstanding on the Repurchase Date and will no longer be outstanding on the day following the Repurchase Date. Previously we repurchased shares as of the opening of the Repurchase Date. Repurchases will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Repurchase Date (which will generally be equal to our prior month’s NAV per share), except that depending on the class of shares requested to be repurchased and how long the shares have been outstanding, the shares may be repurchased at a discount to the transaction price (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”) as described in the Share Repurchase Program which is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this report, subject to certain limited exceptions. Settlements of share repurchases will generally be made within three business days of the Repurchase Date.

The total amount of aggregate repurchases of our Class T, Class D, Class I, and Class A shares (all of our outstanding classes of common stock) is limited to no more than 2% of the aggregate NAV of our common stock outstanding per month and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV of our common stock outstanding per calendar quarter.

Should repurchase requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the company as a whole, we may choose to repurchase fewer shares in any particular month than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all. Further, our board of directors may modify and suspend our share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. In the event that we determine to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase plan, as applicable.
If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no repurchase requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased the following month must resubmit their repurchase requests.

During the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we repurchased shares of our common stock in the following amounts at the then-applicable transaction price (reduced as applicable by the Early Repurchase Deduction):

Block C Loan

On November 14, 2023, we, through CROP, executed a promissory note in favor of CW Block C, LLC (“Block C”), a development joint venture in which entities affiliated with us and our advisor (the “Affiliated Members”) own an interest. The Affiliated Members are owned directly or indirectly by Daniel Shaeffer, Chad Christensen, Gregg Christensen, Enzio Cassinis, Eric Marlin, Susan Hallenberg, Stan Hanks, Glenn Rand and Adam Larson, each of whom are our officers or directors, as well as certain employees of CROP and our advisor or its affiliates. As of September 30, 2023, the Affiliated Members have made aggregate contributions of $10.9 million towards the joint venture and owned a 17.84% interest in Block C with Messrs. Shaeffer, C. Christensen, G. Christensen, Cassinis, Marlin, Hanks, Rand, Larson and Ms. Hallenberg having an indirect ownership interest of 3.93%, 8.58%, 3.05%, 0.41%, 0.28%, 0.25%, 0.09%, 0.20% and 0.57%, respectively. The Affiliated Members participate in the economics of Block C on the same terms and conditions as us.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, CROP may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $15,000,000. Amounts advanced under the note, plus any interest on the unpaid principal advanced is due and payable by December 12, 2023, provided that CROP may extend the maturity date for one 14-day extension upon written notice to Block C. The unpaid principal under the promissory note bears interest from the date advanced at a rate of 5.4% per annum, which approximates the 30-day treasury rate, cumulative and not compounded. CROP may prepay the unpaid principal balance under the promissory note, in whole or in part, together with all interest then accrued under the note, at any time, without premium or penalty. The promissory note is unsecured.

Annual Meeting

On November 7, 2023, the chairman of our annual meeting, pursuant to the authority granted under our bylaws, adjourned the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) without any business being conducted. The adjourned meeting will reconvene on January 30, 2023 at the same time and place as originally scheduled. The record date for determining stockholder eligibility to vote at the reconvened Annual Meeting will remain the close of business on October 9, 2023. Proxies previously submitted in respect of the Annual Meeting will be voted at the reconvened Annual Meeting unless properly revoked, and stockholders who have already submitted a proxy to vote their shares need not take any action. No changes have been made in the proposals to be voted on by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Proxy Statement and any other materials filed by the Company with the SEC remain unchanged and can be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
