SUPPLEMENT NO. 7 DATED AUGUST 14, 2015

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 15, 2015

This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, our prospectus dated April 15, 2015, as supplemented by Supplement No. 6 dated July 15, 2015, relating to our offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock. Terms used and not otherwise defined in this Supplement No. 7 shall have the same meanings as set forth in our prospectus. The purpose of this Supplement No. 7 is to disclose:

• the status of our public offering;

• an update to our risk factors;

• the re-election of our five directors; and

• our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2015.

Status of Our Public Offering

 We commenced our initial public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock on December 30, 2013. As of August 7, 2015, we had received and accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 24,226,718 shares of our common stock in our public offering, resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $361,441,962.

As of August 7, 2015, 42,841,985 shares of our common stock remained available for sale to the public under our initial public offering, excluding shares available under our distribution reinvestment plan.

We intend to terminate our public offering on or before March 25, 2016. We intend to continue to offer shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan after such date.

Update to Our Risk Factors

The following language supersedes the previous language and should be read in conjunction with the“Risk Factors” section of our prospectus.

We have and may continue to pay distributions from the proceeds of our initial public offering. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have reduced funds available for investment and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including net proceeds from our public offerings, borrowings, advances from our sponsor or advisor and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. Since our inception, our cash flow from operations has not been sufficient to fund all of our distributions. Of the $7,634,601 in total distributions we paid during the period from our inception through June 30, 2015, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, all such amounts were funded from offering proceeds. Until we make substantial investments, we may continue to fund distributions from the net proceeds from this offering or sources other than cash flow from operations. We have not established a limit on the amount of offering proceeds, or other sources other than cash flow from operations, which we may use to fund distributions.

If we are unable to consistently fund distributions to our stockholders entirely from our cash flow from operations, the value of your shares upon a listing of our common stock, the sale of our assets or any other liquidity event may be reduced. To the extent that we fund distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, our funds available for investment will be reduced relative to the funds available for investment if our distributions were funded solely from cash flow from operations, our ability to achieve our investment objectives will be negatively impacted and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. In addition, if we make a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, which will reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of common stock. The amount, if any, of each distribution in excess of a stockholder’s tax basis in its shares of common stock will be taxable as gain realized from the sale or exchange of property.

The Re-Election of Our Five Directors at Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders

On August 12, 2015, we held the annual meeting of our stockholders, or the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, our five serving directors, G. Brian Christie, Rodney F. Emery, Ella S. Neyland, Thomas H. Purcell and Kerry D. Vandell were re-elected to the board of directors until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. Pursuant to our independent directors’ compensation plan, each of our three independent directors received 1,666 shares of restricted common stock upon re-election. The shares of restricted common stock vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant and ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier to occur of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability, or (2) a change in control.

For biographical information on Messrs. Emery, Vandell, Christie and Purcell and Ms. Neyland, see “Management— Directors and Executive Officers” in our prospectus.

1.Organization and Business

Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 22, 2013, as a Maryland corporation that has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2014. On September 3, 2013, the Company was initially capitalized with the sale of 13,500 shares of common stock to Steadfast REIT Investments, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $15.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $202,500. Steadfast Apartment Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 22, 2013, invested $1,000 in the Company in exchange for 1,000 shares of non-participating, non-voting convertible stock (the “Convertible Stock”) as described in Note 6.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 27, 2013. The Company is the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company and Steadfast Apartment REIT Limited Partner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) on September 3, 2013. As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares of its common stock, the Company transfers substantially all of the net offering proceeds from its Public Offering (defined below) to the Operating Partnership as a contribution in exchange for partnership interests and the Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership increases proportionately.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 18 multifamily properties comprising a total of 6,165 apartment homes. For more information on the Company’s real estate portfolio, see Note 3.

Public Offering

On December 30, 2013, the Company commenced its initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to offer a maximum of 66,666,667 shares of common stock for sale to the public at an initial price of $15.00 per share (with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers) (the “Primary Offering”). The Company also registered up to 7,017,544 shares of common stock for sale pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP,” and together with the Primary Offering, the “Public Offering”) at an initial price of $14.25 per share. The Company may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, change the price at which the Company offers shares to the public in the Primary Offering or pursuant to the DRP to reflect changes in the Company’s estimated value per share and other factors that the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.  The Company may reallocate shares of common stock registered in the Public Offering between the Primary Offering and the DRP.

Pursuant to the terms of the Public Offering, offering proceeds were held in an escrow account until the Company raised the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000. On February 27, 2014, the Company raised the minimum offering amount and the offering proceeds held in escrow were released to the Company. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had sold 21,764,223 shares of common stock in the Public Offering for gross proceeds of $324,763,554. The Company will continue to offer shares of the Company’s common stock on a continuous basis until the Public Offering terminates on or before December 30, 2015, unless extended. However, in certain states the Public Offering may continue for only one year unless the Company renews the offering period for an additional year. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Public Offering at any time.

The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Public Offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of multifamily properties located in targeted markets throughout the United States. In addition to the Company’s focus on multifamily properties, the Company may also make selective strategic acquisitions of other types of commercial properties. The Company may also acquire or originate mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other real estate loans and equity securities of other real estate companies.

The business of the Company is externally managed by the Advisor, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement dated December 13, 2013, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor (as amended, the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement is subject to annual renewal by the Company’s board of directors.  The current term of the Advisory Agreement expires on December 13, 2015. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Advisor manages the Company’s day-to-day operations, manages the Company’s portfolio of properties and real estate-related assets, sources and presents investment opportunities to the Company’s board of directors and provides investment management services on the Company’s behalf. The Advisor has also entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Crossroads Capital Advisors, LLC (“Crossroads Capital Advisors”), whereby Crossroads Capital Advisors provides advisory services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company has retained Steadfast Capital Markets Group, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, to serve as the dealer manager for the Public Offering. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the Company’s shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the Public Offering. The Advisor, along with the Dealer Manager, also provides offering services, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on the Company’s behalf. 

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership is operated in a manner that will enable the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that the Operating Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which classification could result in the Operating Partnership being taxed as a corporation. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the Operating Partnership in acquiring and operating real properties, the Operating Partnership will pay all of the Company’s administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of the Operating Partnership.

The Company commenced its real estate operations on May 22, 2014, upon acquiring a fee simple interest in a multifamily property located in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are prepared using accounting policies consistent with those of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results of such periods. Operating results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

• Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

• Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and will classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and will establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

The following describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each asset or liability is generally classified.

Interest rate cap agreements - These derivatives are recorded at fair value. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using the associated variable rate curve and an implied market volatility, both of which were observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the interest rate cap agreements. Therefore, the Company’s interest rate cap agreements were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are included in deferred financing costs and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements are recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following table reflects the Company’s assets required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets:

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to affiliates and mortgage notes payable.

The Company considers the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities to approximate the fair value of these financial instruments based on the short duration between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of amounts due to affiliates is not determinable due to the related party nature of such amounts. The Company has determined that its mortgage notes payable are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using borrowing rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the mortgage notes payable was $411,438,020 and $191,983,420, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $432,011,100 and $196,930,600, respectively.

Distribution Policy

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company intends to make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which is determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). On April 4, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend which began to accrue on April 7, 2014. Distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.002466 per share per day. Each day during the period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 was a record date for distributions.

Distributions to stockholders are determined by the board of directors of the Company and are dependent upon a number of factors relating to the Company, including funds available for the payment of distributions, financial condition, the timing of property acquisitions, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements in order for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, the Company declared distributions totaling $0.224 and $0.446 per share of common stock. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, the Company declared distributions totaling $0.209 per share of common stock.

Per Share Data

Basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the period. Nonvested shares of the Company’s restricted common stock give rise to potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock but such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares were anti-dilutive during the period.

Segment Disclosure

The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to investing in multifamily properties. The Company’s investments in real estate are in different geographic regions, and management evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level. However, as each of the Company’s assets has similar economic characteristics, tenants and products and services, its assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The new guidance does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new guidance by one year, which will result in the new guidance being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, but can be no earlier than the original public entity effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Until now, the requirement to perform a going concern evaluation existed only in auditing standards. The new guidance requires management to evaluate relevant conditions, events and certain management plans that are known or reasonably knowable as of the evaluation date when determining whether substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods. The standard states substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact from adopting this new guidance.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, that eliminates the concept of the extraordinary items from GAAP. The objective of the new guidance is to simplify the income statement presentation requirements of GAAP. Eliminating the extraordinary classification simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within that period, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact from adopting this new guidance.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, that provides amendments to the consolidation analysis. The amendments in this new guidance affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within that period, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact from adopting this new guidance.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, that will require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs will not be affected by the new guidance. The guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within that period, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will reclassify debt issuance costs from deferred financing costs and other assets, net to mortgage notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet.

3.Real Estate

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 18 multifamily properties comprising a total of 6,165 apartment homes. The total acquisition price of the Company’s real estate portfolio was $687,279,250. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s portfolio was approximately 94.2% and 94.2% occupied and the average monthly rent was $922 and $884, respectively.

Amortization of the Company’s tenant origination and absorption costs was $3,479,133 and $6,322,477 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, and $95,210 and $95,210 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively. Tenant origination and absorption costs had a weighted-average amortization period as of the date of acquisition of less than one year.

Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s real estate portfolio comprised 6,165 residential units and was 94.2% occupied by a diverse group of residents. The residential lease terms consist of lease durations equal to twelve months or less.

Some residential leases contain provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payables and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1,204,886 and $459,707 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, no tenant represented over 10% of the Company’s annualized base rent.

The weighted average remaining term of the restricted common stock was 1.14 years as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, no shares of restricted common stock issued to the independent directors have been forfeited.

Convertible Stock

The Company issued 1,000 shares of Convertible Stock to the Advisor for $1,000. The Convertible Stock will convert into shares of common stock if and when: (A) the Company has made total distributions on the then-outstanding shares of its common stock equal to the original issue price of those shares plus an aggregate 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the original issue price of those shares, (B) the Company lists its common stock for trading on a national securities exchange, or (C) the Advisory Agreement is terminated or not renewed (other than for “cause” as defined in the Advisory Agreement). In the event of a termination or non-renewal of the Advisory Agreement for cause, all of the shares of the Convertible Stock will be redeemed for $1.00. In general, each share of Convertible Stock will convert into a number of shares of common stock equal to 1/1000 of the quotient of (A) 15% of the excess of (1) the Company’s “enterprise value” plus the aggregate value of distributions paid to date on the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock over (2) the aggregate purchase price paid by stockholders for those outstanding shares of common stock plus an aggregated 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the original issue price of those outstanding shares, divided by (B) the Company’s enterprise value divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, in each case calculated as of the date of the conversion.

Preferred Stock

The Charter also provides the Company’s board of directors with the authority to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock, and prior to the issuance of such shares of preferred stock, the board of directors shall have the power from time to time to classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued shares and designate the preferences, rights and privileges of such shares of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to amend the Charter without the

approval of the stockholders to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no shares of the Company’s preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company’s board of directors has approved the DRP through which common stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares of common stock in additional shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The purchase price per share under the DRP is $14.25. The Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, change this price based upon changes in the Company’s estimated value per share, the then current price of shares of the Company’s common stock offered in the Public Offering and other factors that the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.

No sales commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on shares sold through the DRP. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the DRP at its discretion at any time upon ten days notice to the Company’s stockholders. Following any termination of the DRP, all subsequent distributions to stockholders will be made in cash.

Share Repurchase Plan and Redeemable Common Stock

The Company’s share repurchase plan may provide an opportunity for stockholders to have their shares of common stock repurchased by the Company, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. No shares can be repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares; provided, however, that this holding period shall not apply to repurchases requested within two years after the death or disability of a stockholder.

Prior to the date the Company publishes an estimated value per share of its common stock, the purchase price for shares repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan will be as follows:

Share Purchase Anniversary	Repurchase Price on Repurchase Date(1)
Less than 1 year	No Repurchase Allowed
1 year	92.5% of Purchase Price
2 years	95.0% of Purchase Price
3 years	97.5% of Purchase Price
4 years	100.0% of Purchase Price
In the event of a stockholder’s death or disability(2)	Average Issue Price for Shares(3)

Following the date the Company publishes an estimated value per share of its common stock, the purchase price for shares repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan will be as follows:

Share Purchase Anniversary	Repurchase Price on Repurchase Date(1)
Less than 1 year	No Repurchase Allowed
1 year	92.5% of Estimated Value per Share(4)
2 years	95.0% of Estimated Value per Share(4)
3 years	97.5% of Estimated Value per Share(4)
4 years	100.0% of Estimated Value per Share(4)

(1) As adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations or any similar transaction with respect to the shares of common stock. Repurchase price includes the full amount paid for each share, including all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. 

(2) The required one year holding period to be eligible to redeem shares under the Company’s share repurchase plan does not apply in the event of death or disability of a stockholder.

(3) The purchase price per share for shares repurchased upon the death or disability of a stockholder will be equal to the average issue price per share for all of the stockholder’s shares.

(4) The Company’s board of directors intends to determine an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2015, based on valuations by independent third-party appraisers or qualified valuation experts, which valuation is expected to be disclosed in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report.

The purchase price per share for shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan will be further reduced by the aggregate amount of net proceeds per share, if any, distributed to the Company’s stockholders prior to the repurchase date as a result of the sale of one or more of the Company’s assets that constitutes a return of capital distribution as a result of such sales.

Repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock will be made quarterly upon written request to the Company at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. Repurchase requests will be honored approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter (the “Repurchase Date”). Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to three business days prior to the Repurchase Date. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, the Company redeemed a total of 4,661 and 6,900 shares with a total redemption value of $69,904 and $103,455 and received requests for the redemption of 6,576 and 11,236 shares with a total redemption value of $98,514 and $168,414. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, the Company did not redeem any shares or receive requests for the redemption of any shares.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had 6,576 shares of outstanding and unfulfilled redemption requests and recorded $98,514 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet related to these unfulfilled redemption requests. The Company redeemed the outstanding redemption requests as of June 30, 2015 of $98,514 on the July 30, 2015 Repurchase Date.

The Company cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the share repurchase plan will be sufficient to accommodate all repurchase requests made in any quarter. In the event that the Company does not have sufficient funds available to repurchase all of the shares of the Company’s common stock for which repurchase requests have been submitted in any quarter, priority will be given to redemption requests in the case of the death or disability of a stockholder. If the Company repurchases less than all of the shares subject to a repurchase request in any quarter, with respect to any shares which have not been repurchased, a stockholder can (1) withdraw the stockholder’s request for repurchase or (2) ask that the Company honor the stockholder’s request in a future quarter, if any, when such repurchases can be made pursuant to the limitations of the share repurchase plan and when sufficient funds are available. Such pending requests will be honored among all requests for redemptions in any given repurchase period as follows: first, pro rata as to repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or disability; and, next, pro rata as to other repurchase requests.

The Company is not obligated to repurchase shares of its common stock under the share repurchase plan. The share repurchase plan limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to (1) 5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRP in the prior calendar year, plus such additional funds as may be reserved for that purpose by the Company’s board of directors. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidations of securities investments as of the end of the applicable month, to the extent that such funds are not otherwise dedicated to a particular use, such as working capital, cash distributions to stockholders or purchases of real estate assets. There is no fee in connection with a repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan.

The Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan at any time upon 30 days’ notice to its stockholders if it determines that the funds available to fund the share repurchase plan are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the share repurchase plan is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Therefore, a stockholder may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to any potential termination of the Company’s share repurchase plan. The share repurchase plan will terminate in the event that a secondary market develops for the Company’s shares of common stock.

Pursuant to the share repurchase plan, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, the Company reclassified $1,931,729 and $2,994,487, net of $69,904 and $103,455 of fulfilled redemption requests, and for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014$25,066, net of $0 of fulfilled redemption requests, respectively, from permanent equity to temporary equity, which is included as redeemable common stock on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Distributions

The Company’s long-term policy is to pay distributions solely from cash flow from operations. However, the Company expects to have insufficient cash flow from operations available for distribution until the Company makes substantial investments. Further, because the Company may receive income from interest or rents at various times during the Company’s fiscal year and because the Company may need cash flow from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, the Company expects that at least during the early stages of the Company’s development and from time to time during the Company’s operational stage, the Company will declare distributions in anticipation of cash flow that the Company expects to receive during a later period, and the Company expects to pay these distributions in advance of its actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, the Company’s board of directors has the authority under its organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to fund distributions from sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or advances and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by the Advisor, in its sole discretion. The Company has not established a limit on the amount of proceeds it may use from the Public Offering to fund distributions. If the Company pays distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, the Company will have fewer funds available for investments and stockholders’ overall return on their investment in the Company may be reduced.

To maintain the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Company must make aggregate annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). If the Company meets the REIT qualification requirements, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the income that the Company distributes to its stockholders each year.

Distributions Declared

On April 4, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a cash distribution that accrues at a rate of $0.002466 per day for each share of the Company’s common stock, which, if paid over a 365-day period, is equivalent to a 6.0% annualized distribution rate based on a purchase price of $15.00 per share of the Company’s common stock. This distribution began to accrue on April 7, 2014. The distributions declared accrue daily to stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day and are payable in cumulative amounts on or before the third day of each calendar month with respect to the prior month. There is no guarantee that the Company will continue to pay distributions at this rate or at all.

Distributions declared for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 were $4,244,754 and $6,954,053, including $2,250,961 and $3,625,461, or 157,962 and 254,418 shares of common stock, respectively, attributable to the DRP.

Distributions declared for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 were $158,272, including $52,002, or 3,649 shares of common stock attributable to the DRP.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1,543,531 and $608,904 of distributions declared were payable, which included $821,040 and $293,521, or 57,617 and 20,598 shares of common stock, attributable to the DRP, respectively.

7.Related Party Arrangements

The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager with respect to the Public Offering. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the Advisor and the Dealer Manager specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the Public Offering, the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments and the management of the Company’s investments and for other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments). Subject to the limitations described below, the Company is also obligated to reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and its affiliates on behalf of the Company, as well as acquisition and origination expenses and certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company.

total organization and offering expenses (including sales commissions and dealer manager fees) borne by the Company exceed 15% of the gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering. In addition, to the extent the Company does not pay the full sales commissions or dealer manager fee for shares sold in the Public Offering, the Company may also reimburse costs of bona fide training and education meetings held by the Company (primarily the travel, meal and lodging costs of registered representatives of broker-dealers), attendance and sponsorship fees and cost reimbursement of employees of the Company’s affiliates to attend seminars conducted by broker-dealers and, in certain cases, reimbursement to participating broker-dealers for technology costs associated with the offering, costs and expenses related to such technology costs, and costs and expenses associated with the facilitation of the marketing of the Company’s shares and the ownership of the Company’s shares by such broker-dealers’ customers; provided, however, that the Company will not pay any of the foregoing costs to the extent that such payment would cause total underwriting compensation paid by the Company to exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, as required by the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

Organization and offering costs include payments made to Crossroads Capital Advisors, an affiliate of the Sponsor, for certain specified services provided to the Company on behalf of the Advisor, including, without limitation, establishing operational and administrative processes; engaging and negotiating with vendors; providing recommendations and advice for the development of marketing materials and ongoing communications with investors; and assisting in public relations activities and the administration of the DRP and share repurchase plan.

Offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from gross offering proceeds. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, the Advisor incurred $2,810,964 and $4,811,313 of offering costs related to the Public Offering.

The Company accrued $1,461,600 and $0 for the reimbursement of offering costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The deferred offering costs of $5,247,912 were not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded the 15% limitation described above.

Investment Management Fee

The Company paid the Advisor a monthly investment management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of (1) the cost of the Company’s investments in real properties and real estate-related assets until the aggregate cost of the Company’s investments in real properties and real estate related assets equaled $300,000,000, which occurred in December 2014. Thereafter, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly investment management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the cost of our investments in real properties and real estate-related assets. Such fee will be calculated including acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments, or the Company’s proportionate share thereof in the case of investments made through joint ventures.

Acquisition Fees and Expenses

The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee equal to 1.0% of the cost of investment, which includes the amount actually paid or budgeted to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement (i.e. value-enhancement) of any real property or real estate-related asset acquired. In addition to acquisition fees, the Company reimburses the Advisor for amounts directly incurred by the Advisor and amounts the Advisor pays to third parties in connection with the selection, evaluation, acquisition and development of a property or acquisition of real estate-related assets, whether or not the Company ultimately acquires the property or the real estate-related assets.

The Charter limits the Company’s ability to pay acquisition fees if the total of all acquisition fees and expenses relating to the purchase would exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price. Under the Charter, a majority of the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, is required to approve any acquisition fees (or portion thereof) that would cause the total of all acquisition fees and expenses relating to an acquisition to exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price. In connection with the purchase of securities, the acquisition fee may be paid to an affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable FINRA rules would prohibit the payment of the acquisition fee to a firm that is not a registered broker-dealer. 

Loan Coordination Fee

The Company pays the Advisor or its affiliate a loan coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the initial amount of the new debt financed or outstanding debt assumed in connection with the acquisition, development, construction, improvement or origination of a property or a real estate-related asset. In addition, in connection with any financing or the refinancing of any debt (in each case, other than identified at the time of the acquisition of a property or a real estate-related asset), the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliate a loan coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount of debt financed or refinanced.

Property Management Fees and Expenses

The Company has entered into Property Management Agreements with Steadfast Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor (the “Property Manager”), in connection with the management of each of the Company’s properties. The property management fee payable with respect to each property under the Property Management Agreements (each a “Property Management Agreement”) at June 30, 2015 ranges from 2.5% to 3.0% of the annual gross revenue collected at the property, which is usual and customary for comparable property management services rendered to similar properties in similar geographic markets, as determined by the Advisor and approved by a majority of the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors.

In addition to the property management fee, the Property Management Agreements also specify certain other fees payable to the Property Manager for benefit administration, information technology infrastructure, licenses, and support and training services. The Company also reimburses the Property Manager for the salaries and related benefits of on-site property management employees.

Construction Management Fee 

The Company has entered into Construction Management Agreements with Pacific Coast Land & Construction, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor (the “Construction Manager”), in connection with capital improvements and renovation or value-enhancement projects for certain properties the Company acquires. The Construction Management Fee payable with respect to each property under the Construction Management Agreements (each a “Construction Management Agreement”) has ranged from 8.0% to 12.0% of the costs of the improvements for which the Construction Manager has planning and oversight authority. For all properties acquired after October 15, 2014, such fees are an amount equal to 8.0% of the total cost of the project. Generally, each Construction Management Agreement can be terminated by either party with 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Construction management fees are capitalized to the respective real estate properties in the period in which they are incurred as such costs relate to capital improvements and renovations for apartment homes while they undergo the planned renovation.

Other Operating Expense Reimbursement

In addition to the various fees paid to the Advisor, the Company is obligated to pay directly or reimburse all expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company, including the Company’s allocable share of the Advisor’s overhead, such as rent, employee costs, utilities and information technology costs. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor or its affiliates receive acquisition fees or disposition fees or for the salaries the Advisor pays to the Company’s executive officers.

The Charter limits the Company’s total operating expenses during any four fiscal quarters to the greater of 2% of the Company’s average invested assets or 25% of the Company’s net income for the same period (the “2%/25% Limitation”). The Company may reimburse the Advisor, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for operating expenses incurred by the Advisor; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for operating expenses that exceed the 2%/25% Limitation unless the independent directors have determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Advisor must reimburse the Company for the amount by which the Company’s operating expenses for the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the 2%/25% Limitation, unless approved by the independent directors. For purposes of determining the 2%/25% Limitation amount, “average invested assets” means the average monthly book value of the Company’s assets invested directly or indirectly in equity interests and loans secured by real estate during the 12-month period before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. “Total operating expenses” means all expenses paid or incurred by the Company that are in any way related to the Company’s operation, including the Company’s allocable share of Advisor overhead and investment management fees, but excluding (a) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, listing and registration of shares of the Company’s common stock; (b) interest payments; (c) taxes; (d) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (e) reasonable incentive fees based on the gain in the sale of the Company’s assets; (f) acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including expenses relating to potential acquisitions that the Company does not close); (g) real estate commissions on the resale of investments; and (h) other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, management and ownership of investments (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of real property).

At June 30, 2015, the Company’s total operating expenses, as defined above, did not exceed the 2%/25% Limitation test.

Disposition Fee

If the Advisor or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of a property or real estate-related asset as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliates one-half of the brokerage commissions paid, but in no event to exceed 1.0% of the sales price of each property or real estate-related asset sold. To the extent the disposition fee is paid upon the sale of any assets other than real property, it will be included as an operating expense for purposes of the 2%/25% Limitation. In connection with the sale of securities, the disposition fee may be paid to an affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable FINRA rules would prohibit the payment of the disposition fee to a firm that is not a registered broker-dealer. As of June 30, 2015 the Company had not sold or otherwise disposed of property or any real estate-related assets. Accordingly, the Company had not incurred any disposition fees as of June 30, 2015. 

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

The Company pays the Dealer Manager up to 7% and 3% of the gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees, respectively. A reduced sales commission and dealer manager fee is paid in connection with volume discounts and certain other categories of sales. No sales commission or dealer manager fee is paid with respect to shares of common stock issued pursuant to the DRP. The Dealer Manager reallows 100% of sales commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Dealer Manager may also reallow to any participating broker-dealer a portion of the dealer manager fee that is attributable to that participating broker-dealer for certain marketing costs of that participating broker-dealer. The Dealer Manager will negotiate the reallowance of the dealer manager fee on a case-by-case basis with each participating broker-dealer subject to various factors associated with the cost of the marketing program.

8.Incentive Award Plan and Independent Director Compensation

The Company has adopted an incentive plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”) that provides for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company’s affiliates. The Incentive Award Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards.

Under the Company’s independent directors’ compensation plan, which is a sub-plan of the Incentive Award Plan, each of the Company’s independent directors was entitled to receive 3,333 shares of restricted common stock once the Company raised $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds in the Public Offering. Each subsequent independent director that joins the Company’s board of directors receives 3,333 shares of restricted common stock upon election to the Company’s board of directors. In addition, on the date following an independent director’s re-election to the Company’s board of directors, he or she receives 1,666 shares of restricted common stock. One-fourth of the shares of restricted common stock generally vest and become non-forfeitable upon issuance and the remaining portion will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant and ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested and become non-forfeitable on the earlier to occur of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability, or (2) a change in control of the Company.

On February 27, 2014, the Company raised over $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds in the Public Offering and granted each of the three independent directors 3,333 shares of restricted common stock. On August 7, 2014, the Company granted 1,666 shares of restricted common stock to each of its three independent directors upon their re-election to the Company’s board of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $14,067 and $28,134 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and $12,562 and $50,264 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, related to the independent directors’ restricted common stock.

In addition to the stock awards, the Company pays each of its independent directors an annual retainer of $55,000, prorated for any partial term (except the audit committee chairperson receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer, prorated for any partial term). In addition, the independent directors are paid for attending meetings as follows: (1) $2,500 for each board meeting attended in person, (2) $1,500 for each committee meeting attended in person in such director’s capacity as a

committee member, (3) $1,000 for each board meeting attended via teleconference (not to exceed $4,000 for any one set of meetings attended on any given day). All directors also receive reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. Director compensation is an operating expense of the Company that is subject to the operating expense reimbursement obligation of the Advisor discussed in Note 7. The Company recorded an operating expense of, and paid, $63,750 and $124,500 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and $60,750 and $116,500 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 related to the independent directors annual retainer, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

9.Commitments and Contingencies

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common and preferred stock available for issue; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources. The Company may not be able to retain services from such other sources on favorable terms or at all.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Atlanta, Georgia, Denver, Colorado, Indianapolis, Indiana and Birmingham, Alabama apartment markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, relocations of businesses, increased competition from other apartment communities, decrease in demand for apartments or any other changes, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is subject, or party, to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition nor is the Company aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

10.Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate derivatives with the objective of managing exposure to interest rate movements thereby minimizing the effect of interest rate changes and the effect they could have on future cash flows. Interest rate cap agreements are used to accomplish this objective. The following table provides the terms of the Company’s interest rate derivative instruments that were in effect at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

June 30, 2015
Type	Maturity Date Range	Based on	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Variable Rate	Weighted Average Rate Cap	Fair Value
Interest Rate Cap	6/1/2018 - 7/1/2019	One-Month LIBOR	14	$	432,011,100	0.19%	2.01%	$	1,157,356

December 31, 2014
Type	Maturity Date Range	Based on	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Variable Rate	Weighted Average Rate Cap	Fair Value
Interest Rate Cap	6/1/2018 - 1/1/2019	One-Month LIBOR	7	$	196,930,600	0.17%	2.00%	$	648,414

The interest rate cap agreements are not designated as effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company records any changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements as interest expense. The change in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 resulted in an unrealized loss of $503,972 and $1,168,082 and for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 resulted in an unrealized loss of $83,212 and $83,212, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements of $1,157,356 and $648,414 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is included in deferred financing costs and other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

11.Pro Forma Information (unaudited)

The following table summarizes, on an unaudited basis, the consolidated pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and 2014.

These properties contributed $6,133,262 of revenues and $4,771,058 of net loss, including $5,007,679 of depreciation and amortization, to the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2015. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and 2014 has been provided to give effect to the acquisitions of the properties as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been had these acquisitions occurred on this date, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations for future periods.

Item2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

• the fact that we have a limited operating history and commenced operations on May 22, 2014;

• the fact that we have had a net loss for each quarterly and annual period since inception; 

• our ability to raise proceeds in our initial public offering; 

• our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our initial public offering; 

• changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and debt markets specifically; 

• our ability to successfully identify and acquire multifamily properties on terms that are favorable to us; 

• our ability to secure resident leases for our multifamily properties at favorable rental rates; 

• risks inherent in the real estate business, including resident defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters and the lack of liquidity of real estate investments; 

• the fact that we pay fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates that were not negotiated on an arm’s length basis and the fact that the payment of these fees and expenses increases the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us; 

• our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor, our property manager and other affiliates of our advisor; 

• legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts, or REITs); 

• the availability of capital; 

• changes in interest rates; and 

• changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this quarterly report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

quarterly report will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this quarterly report will be achieved.

All forward looking statements included herein should be read in light of the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 16, 2015.

Overview

We were formed on August 22, 2013, as a Maryland corporation that has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of multifamily properties located in targeted markets throughout the United States. In addition to our focus on multifamily properties, we may also make selective strategic acquisitions of other types of commercial properties. We may also acquire or originate mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other real estate loans and equity securities of other real estate companies.

On December 30, 2013, we commenced our initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 filed with the SEC, to offer a maximum of 66,666,667 shares of common stock for sale to the public at an initial price of $15.00 per share (subject to certain discounts). We are also offering up to 7,017,544 shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at an initial price of $14.25 per share. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, change the price at which we offer shares to the public in the primary offering or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan to reflect changes in our estimated value per share and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If we revise the price at which we offer our shares of common stock based upon changes in our estimated value per share, we do not anticipate that we will do so more frequently than quarterly. Our estimated value per share will be approved by our board of directors and calculated by our advisor based upon current available information which may include valuations of our assets obtained by independent third party appraisers or qualified independent valuation experts.

Pursuant to the terms of our initial public offering, offering proceeds were held in an escrow account until we met the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000. On February 27, 2014, we raised the minimum offering amount and the offering proceeds held in escrow were released to us. As of August 7, 2015, we had sold 24,226,718 shares of common stock in our public offering for gross proceeds of $361,441,962, including 388,537 shares of common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $5,536,652. We will continue to offer shares of our common stock on a continuous basis until December 30, 2015, unless our public offering is extended. However, in certain states the offering may continue for only one year unless we renew the offering period for an additional year. We intend to terminate our initial public offering on or before March 25, 2016. We intend to continue offering shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan after the termination of our public offering.

Steadfast Apartment Advisor, LLC is our advisor. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our advisor manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of properties and real estate-related assets. Our advisor sources and presents investment opportunities to our board of directors. Our advisor also provides investment management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., our operating partnership. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries is the only limited partner of our operating partnership. As we accept subscriptions for shares of common stock, we transfer substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering to our operating partnership as a capital contribution. The limited partnership agreement of our operating partnership provides that our operating partnership will be operated in a manner that will enable us to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that our operating partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in our operating partnership being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a disregarded entity. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by our operating partnership in acquiring and operating our investments, our operating partnership will pay all of our administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of our operating partnership. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

for shares of our common stock are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as offering proceeds are used to acquire and operate our assets.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income.

Formation of Valuation Committee

On June 22, 2015, our board of directors established a Valuation Committee to evaluate and recommend the estimation of the per share value of our common stock, or the valuation. The Valuation Committee has been authorized and directed to perform the following functions: (1) ratify and approve the engagement of valuation advisory services, their scope of work and any amendments thereto, (2) review and approve the proposed valuation process and methodology to be used to determine the valuation; (3) review the reasonableness of our valuation or range of value resulting from the process; and (4) recommend the final proposed valuation for approval by our board of directors. The members of the Valuation Committee are Thomas Purcell, G. Brian Christie and Kerry Vandell, with Mr. Purcell serving as Chairman of the Valuation Committee. Our board of directors intends to determine an estimated value per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2015, based on valuations by independent third-party appraisers or qualified valuation experts, which valuation is expected to be disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the period covered by this report. See also Note 2 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering expenses include all expenses (other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by us in connection with our initial public offering, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our escrow agent and transfer agent, expenses of organizing our company, data processing fees, advertising and sales literature costs, transfer agent costs, bona fide out-of-pocket due diligence costs and amounts to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and providing other administrative services in connection with our initial public offering. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by our advisor. After the termination of our initial public offering, our advisor will reimburse us to the extent total organization and offering expenses borne by us (including selling commissions and dealer manager fees) exceed 15% of the gross proceeds raised in our initial public offering.

In addition, to the extent we do not pay the full sales commissions or dealer manager fee for shares sold in our initial public offering, we may also reimburse costs of bona fide training and education meetings held by us (primarily the travel, meal and lodging costs of registered representatives of broker-dealers), attendance and sponsorship fees and cost reimbursement of employees of our affiliates to attend seminars conducted by broker-dealers and, in certain cases, reimbursement to participating broker-dealers for technology costs associated with our initial public offering, costs and expenses related to such technology costs, and costs and expenses associated with the facilitation of the marketing of our shares and the ownership of our shares by such broker-dealers’ customers; provided, however, that we will not pay any of the foregoing costs to the extent that such payment would cause total underwriting compensation to exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds of our primary offering, as required by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

When recognized, organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed to the advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates from gross offering proceeds.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and have operated as such commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

We follow the income tax guidance under GAAP to recognize, measure, present and disclose in our consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions that we have taken or expect to take on a tax return. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions that we believe should be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. We have not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

Distributions

Our board of directors has declared daily distributions that are paid on a monthly basis. We expect to continue paying monthly distributions unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions or other factors prohibit us from doing so. We may declare distributions in excess of our funds from operations. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we must make distributions equal to at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” each year.

On April 4, 2014, our board of directors first declared a distribution which began to accrue on April 7, 2014. Distributions declared (1) accrue daily to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day, (2) are payable in cumulative amounts on or before the third day of each calendar month with respect to the prior month and (3) are calculated at a rate of $0.002466 per share per day, which if paid each day over a 365-day period is equivalent to a 6.0% annualized distribution rate based on a purchase price of $15.00 per share of common stock.

The distributions paid during each of the last five fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015, along with the amount of distributions reinvested pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan were as follows:

					Distributions Paid(3)						Sources of Distributions Paid
Period	Distributions Declared(1)		Distributions Declared Per Share(1)(2)		Cash		Reinvested		Total		Cash Flow From Operations		Offering Proceeds		Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

____________________

(1) Distributions are based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.002466 per share per day, beginning on April 7, 2014.

(2) Assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the period from April 7, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

(3) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid approximately three days following month end.

For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, we paid aggregate distributions of $3,809,476 and $6,019,426, including $1,807,842 and $2,921,483 of distributions paid in cash and 140,466 and 217,400 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for $2,001,634 and $3,097,943. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, our net loss was $11,484,039 and $18,963,337, we had negative funds from operations, or FFO, of $3,770,423 and $5,893,552 and net cash used in operations of $1,340,411 and $2,879,476. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, we funded all distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from our public offering. On a cumulative basis, as of June 30, 2015, all distributions have been funded with proceeds from our public offering. For information on how we calculate FFO and the reconciliation of FFO to net loss, see “—Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations.”

Our long-term policy is to pay distributions solely from cash flow from operations. However, we expect to have insufficient cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments. Further, because we may receive income from interest or rents 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 development 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 expect to pay these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, our board of directors has the authority under our organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to fund distributions from sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds or advances and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds

36

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

we may use from our initial public offering to fund distributions. If we pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available for investments.

Inflation

Substantially all of our multifamily property leases are for a term of one year or less. In an inflationary environment, this may allow us to realize increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or the beginning of new leases. Short-term leases generally will minimize our risk from the adverse effects of inflation, although these leases generally permit residents to leave at the end of the lease term and therefore will expose us to the effect of a decline in market rents. In a deflationary rent environment, we may be exposed to declining rents more quickly under these shorter term leases.

As of June 30, 2015, we had not entered into any leases as a lessee.

REIT Compliance

To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

If we raise substantially less funds in our initial public offering than the maximum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and our results of operations will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a public REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our initial public offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

We use secured borrowings, and intend to use in the future secured and unsecured borrowings, for the acquisition of properties. After we have invested all of the net offering proceeds from our initial public offering, we expect our borrowings will be approximately 55% to 60% of the value of our properties (after debt amortization and before deducting depreciation and amortization) and other real estate-related assets. For valuation purposes, the value of a property will equal its cost until such property is valued by an independent third party appraiser or qualified independent valuation expert. We expect to temporarily borrow in excess of our long-term targeted debt level during our offering stage in order to facilitate investments in the early stages of our operations. Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, or our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets, which generally approximates to 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets, though we may exceed this limit only under certain circumstances.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and dealer manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the dealer manager for sales commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. However, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us within 60 days of the end of the month in which our initial public offering ends to the extent that sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our operating stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the acquisition of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.

Our principal demand for funds will be to acquire investments in accordance with our investment strategy, to fund value-enhancement and other capital improvement projects, to pay operating expenses and interest on our outstanding indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs, other than asset acquisitions, from operations. Otherwise, we expect that our principal sources of working capital will include:

• current cash balances;

• proceeds from our initial public offering;

37

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

• various forms of secured and unsecured financing;

• borrowings under master repurchase agreements;

• equity capital from joint venture partners; and

• proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan.

Over the short term, we believe that our sources of capital, specifically our cash balances, proceeds from our public offering, cash flow from operations, our ability to raise equity capital from joint venture partners and our ability to obtain various forms of secured and unsecured financing will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements and capital commitments.

Over the longer term, in addition to the same sources of capital we will rely on to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, we may also utilize additional secured and unsecured financings and equity capital from joint venture partners. We may also conduct additional public offerings. We expect these resources will be adequate to fund our operating activities, debt service and distributions, and will be sufficient to fund our ongoing acquisition activities as well as providing capital for investment in future development and other joint ventures along with potential forward purchase commitments.

We may, but are not required to, establish working capital reserves from offering proceeds out of cash flow generated by our investments or out of proceeds from the sale of our investments. We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve; however, we may establish capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by investments or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.

To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowing. In addition, subject to certain limitations described in our charter, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any real estate asset, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancing in additional properties.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

 We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of our first multifamily property on May 22, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, we owned 18 multifamily properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $2,879,476 compared to $819,999 for the six months endedJune 30, 2014. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the acquisition of 16 multifamily properties after June 30, 2014. Our operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by our net loss, offset partially by adjustments for non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock compensation and the change in fair value of the interest rate cap agreements, and by adjustments for restricted cash, amounts due to affiliates and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We expect cash used in operating activities to increase in future periods as a result of the acquisition fees and expenses incurred for anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, we expect to generate cash flows from operations as we expand our property portfolio and stabilize its operations.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Our cash used in investing activities will vary based on how quickly we raise funds in our ongoing initial public offering and how quickly we invest those funds towards acquisitions of real estate and real-estate related investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $420,174,265 compared to $42,458,069 during the six months endedJune 30, 2014. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of our acquisition of 11 multifamily properties during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to two acquisitions of multifamily properties during the six months endedJune 30, 2014. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:

• $404,664,900 of cash used related to the acquisition of 11 multifamily properties;

• $3,309,230 of cash used for improvements to real estate investments;

• $9,950,200 of cash used for deposits for potential real estate investments;

• $572,911 of cash used in restricted cash accounts related to replacement reserves; and

• $1,677,024 of cash used to purchase interest rate cap agreements.

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $397,018,600 compared to $48,932,711 during the six months endedJune 30, 2014. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to increased net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering and the issuance of notes payable, partially offset by increased distributions paid to our stockholders. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:

• $166,369,118 of cash provided by offering proceeds related to our initial public offering, net of (1) payments of commissions on sales of common stock and related dealer manager fees in the amount of $17,911,532 and (2) the reimbursement of other offering costs to affiliates in the amount of $1,654,692;

• $233,674,420 of proceeds from the issuance of mortgage notes payable, net of deferred financing costs in the amount of $1,406,080;

• $103,455 of cash paid for the redemption of common stock; and

• $2,921,483 of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $3,097,943. 

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

We use secured debt, and intend to use in the future secured and unsecured debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of our properties. We believe that the careful use of borrowings will help us achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. After we have invested all of the net offering proceeds from our initial public offering, we expect that our borrowings will be approximately 55% to 60% of the value of our properties (after debt amortization and before deducting depreciation and amortization) and other real estate-related assets. For valuation purposes, the value of a property will equal its cost until such property is valued by an independent third party appraiser or qualified independent valuation expert. In order to facilitate investments in the early stages of our operations, we expect to temporarily borrow in excess of our long-term targeted debt level. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of our net assets, which generally approximates to 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets unless such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders, along with a justification for such excess, in our next quarterly report. In such event, we will monitor our debt levels and take action to reduce any such excess as practicable. We do not intend to exceed our charter’s leverage limit except in the early stages of our operations when the costs of our investments are most likely to substantially exceed our net offering proceeds. Our aggregate borrowings are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. As of June 30, 2015, our aggregate borrowings were not in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets.

In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees and payments to the dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. However, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us within 60 days of the end of the month in which our initial public offering ends to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds of our initial public offering. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our asset portfolio and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.

As of June 30, 2015, we had indebtedness totaling an aggregate principal amount of $432,011,100. The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2015:

			Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Interest payments on outstanding debt obligations(1)	$	88,519,924	$	4,974,087	$	19,743,330	$	19,638,153	$	44,164,354

We incurred interest expense of $2,091,384 and $3,851,967 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015, including amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $59,222 and $102,800 and net unrealized losses from the change in fair value of interest rate cap agreements of $503,972 and $1,168,082, respectively.

Results of Operations

Overview

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and 2014. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by acquisitions completed during those periods. We commenced operations with our first property acquisition on May 22, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, we owned 18 multifamily properties compared to owning two multifamily properties as of June 30, 2014. The increase in our property portfolio is the primary cause of the increases in operating income and expenses, as further discussed below.

Our results of operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 are not indicative of those expected in future periods. We have not yet invested all of the proceeds from our offering received to date and expect to continue to raise additional capital, increase our borrowings and make future acquisitions, all of which will have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In general, we expect that our revenues and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

(1) NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors and our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties and to determine trends in earnings. However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, interest income and other expense, acquisition costs, certain fees to affiliates, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of our properties and other gains and losses as stipulated by GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs, all of which are significant economic costs. For additional information on how we calculate NOI and a reconciliation of NOI to net loss, see “—Net Operating Income.”

(2) GAAP basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes real estate values diminish over time. In an effort to overcome the difference between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets the Board of Governors of NAREIT established the measurement tool of FFO. Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among REITs. Additionally, we use modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association as a supplemental measure to evaluate our operating performance. MFFO is based on FFO but includes certain adjustments we believe are necessary due to changes in accounting and reporting under GAAP since the establishment of FFO. Neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as alternatives to net loss or other measurements under GAAP as indicators of our operating performance, nor should they be considered as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or other measurements under GAAP as indicators of liquidity. For additional information on how we calculate FFO and MFFO and a reconciliation of FFO and MFFO to net loss, see “—Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.”

Net loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had a net loss of $11,484,039 compared to a net loss of $1,647,016 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net loss of $9,837,023 over the comparable prior year period was primarily due to the increase in operating, maintenance and management expenses of $3,517,802, the increase in real estate taxes and insurance of $1,870,169, the increase in fees to affiliates of $5,360,406, the increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $7,563,320, the increase in interest expense of $1,973,315, the increase in general and administrative expenses of $517,311 and the increase in acquisition costs of $1,590,584, partially offset by the increase in total revenues of $12,555,884. The increase in these expenses was due primarily to the increase in our property portfolio from two multifamily properties at June 30, 2014 to 18 multifamily properties at June 30, 2015.

Total revenues

Rental income and tenant reimbursements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $12,748,748 compared to $192,864 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $12,555,884 was primarily due to owning 18 multifamily properties at June 30, 2015 compared to two multifamily properties at June 30, 2014. Additionally, our total units increased by 5,682 from 483 at June 30, 2014 to 6,165 at June 30, 2015. Average monthly rents per unit increased from $807 as of June 30, 2014 to $922 as of June 30, 2015. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods as a result of ordinary monthly rent increases and improved occupancy.

Operating, maintenance and management expenses

Operating, maintenance and management expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $3,574,360 compared to $56,558 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $3,517,802 was primarily due to operating 18 multifamily properties as of June 30, 2015 compared to two multifamily properties as of June 30, 2014. We expect that these amounts will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate but will decrease as a percentage of total revenues.

Real estate taxes and insurance

Real estate taxes and insurance for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $1,890,520 compared to $20,351 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $1,870,169 was due to the acquisition of 16 multifamily properties since June 30, 2014 and the continuing operation of the properties owned as of June 30, 2014. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and ordinary municipal property tax increases.

Fees to affiliates

Fees to affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $6,119,943 compared to $759,537 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $5,360,406 was primarily due to acquisition fees and loan coordination fees of $2,720,769 and $1,594,000, respectively, earned by our advisor in connection with the acquisition of six multifamily properties with an aggregate purchase price of $255,900,000 and financing of four multifamily properties in the aggregate amount of $159,400,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to acquisition fees and loan coordination fees of $441,443 and $294,700, respectively, earned by our advisor in connection with the acquisition and financing of two multifamily properties with an aggregate purchase price of $42,064,250 and financing of $29,470,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, investment management and property management fees increased for the three

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the growth of our portfolio from two multifamily properties owned as of June 30, 2014 to 18 multifamily properties owned as of June 30, 2015. We expect fees to affiliates to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $7,713,616 compared to $150,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $7,563,320 was primarily due to the net increase in depreciable and amortizable assets of $565,033,759 since June 30, 2014. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,091,384 compared to $118,069 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $1,973,315 was primarily due to the net increase in the mortgage notes payable balance of $402,541,100 since June 30, 2014 due to financing incurred in connection with the acquisition of 16 multifamily properties since June 30, 2014. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $59,222 and $2,369 and the unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $503,972 and $83,212 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the amount of proceeds raised in our ongoing initial public offering, the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $830,959 compared to $313,648 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of legal fees, insurance premiums, audit fees, other professional fees and independent director compensation. The increase of $517,311 was primarily due to the acquisition of 16 multifamily properties since June 30, 2014 and the continuing operation of the properties owned as of June 30, 2014. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $2,012,005 compared to $421,421 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $1,590,584 was due primarily to the acquisition of six multifamily properties with an aggregate purchase price of $255,900,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the acquisition of two multifamily properties with an aggregate purchase price of $42,064,250 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Acquisition costs in future periods will vary based on the number of acquisitions we make during the period, which will depend on the amount of proceeds raised in our ongoing initial public offering and the availability of debt financing.

Net Operating Income

Net Operating Income, or 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) the cost of funds, (2) acquisition costs, (3) non-operating fees 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 or (5) general and administrative expenses and other gains and losses that are specific to us. The cost of funds is eliminated from net income (loss) because it is specific to our particular financing capabilities and constraints. The cost of funds is also eliminated because it is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital which may have changed or may change in the future. Acquisition costs and non-operating fees to affiliates are eliminated because they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner.

Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our multifamily properties that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale which will usually change from period to period. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly timed purchases or sales. We believe that eliminating these costs from net income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, interest income and other expense, acquisition costs, certain fees to affiliates, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as stipulated by GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income which further limits its usefulness.

NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties but does not measure our performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP and discussions elsewhere in “—Results of Operations” regarding the components of net income (loss) that are eliminated in the calculation of NOI. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI or similarly entitled measures and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.

The following is a reconciliation of our NOI to net loss for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and 2014 computed in accordance with GAAP:

Fees to affiliates for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 excludes property management fees of $7,122 and $7,122 and other fees of $7,687 and $7,687, respectively, that are included in NOI.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and non-cash impairment charges of real estate related investments, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO, and MFFO as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that public, non-listed REITs, like us, are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity

46

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

ceases. Our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that the then-current market conditions are favorable. However, our board of directors does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our company or another similar transaction) until five years after the completion of our offering stage. Thus, as a limited life REIT, we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life.

Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a public, non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we rely on our advisor for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do not retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In the event that proceeds from our initial public offering are not available to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to our advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives and gains

47

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO in order to evaluate our performance against other public, non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to public, non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance to that of other public, non-listed REITs, although it should be noted that not all public, non-listed REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other public, non-listed REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no regular net asset value determination during the early stage of the offering and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

Our calculation of FFO and MFFO is presented in the following table for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Reconciliation of net loss to MFFO:
Net loss	$	(11,484,039	)	$	(1,647,016	)	$	(18,963,337	)	$	(1,925,948	)

________________

(1) By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the

48

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. In the event that proceeds from our initial public offering are not available to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to the advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to its stockholders.

(2) Acquisition fees and expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 includes acquisition fees of $2,720,769 and $4,329,832 and loan coordination fees of $1,594,000 and $2,350,805 that are recorded in fees to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition fees and expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2015 also includes acquisition expenses of $2,012,005 and $3,038,220 that are recorded in acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition fees and expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 includes acquisition fees of $441,443 and loan coordination fees of $294,700 that are recorded in fees to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition fees and expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 also includes acquisition expenses of $421,421 and $424,830 that are recorded in acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

FFO and MFFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor or its affiliates for acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, financing coordination fees, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and expenses, leasing fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs. Refer to Note 7 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may be also exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, collars, floors and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.

We borrow funds at variable rates and intend in the future to borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of June 30, 2015, we had no outstanding fixed rate debt instruments.

49

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

Movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt will change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums will result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At June 30, 2015, the fair value of our variable rate debt was $411,438,020 and the carrying value of our variable rate debt was $432,011,100. At June 30, 2015, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $432,011,100 of our outstanding variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2015, if interest rates are 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending June 30, 2016, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $4,259,280 and if interest rates are 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2016, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $794,355.

At June 30, 2015, the weighted-average interest rate of our variable rate debt was 2.18%. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at June 30, 2015 (consisting of the contractual interest rate), using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2015, where applicable.

We will also be exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. As of June 30, 2015, we did not have counterparty risk on our interest rate cap agreements as the underlying variable rates for each of our interest rate caps as of June 30, 2015 were not in excess of the capped rates. See also Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.

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

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act.

Our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-191049), registering a public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act and we commenced our initial public offering on December 30, 2013. We are offering up to 66,666,667 shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering at $15.00 per share and up to 7,017,544 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $14.25 per share. As of June 30, 2015, we had sold 21,764,223 shares of our common stock in our public offering for gross offering proceeds of $324,763,554, including 266,076 shares of common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $3,791,582.

From inception through June 30, 2015, we had recognized selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in our public offering in the amounts set forth below. The dealer manager for our public offering reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.

Type of Expense Amount	Amount			Estimated/Actual	Percentage of Offering Proceeds
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees	$	30,701,159		Actual	9.57	%
Other organization and offering costs	8,827,031			Actual	2.75	%
Total expenses	$	39,528,190		Actual	12.32	%
Total public offering proceeds (excluding DRP proceeds)	$	320,971,972		Actual	100.00	%
Percentage of public offering proceeds used to pay for organization and offering costs	12.32		%	Actual	12.32	%

From the commencement of our initial public offering through June 30, 2015, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were $285,235,364, including net offering proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan of $3,791,582. For the period from inception through June 30, 2015, the ratio of the cost of raising equity capital to the gross amount of equity capital raised was approximately 12.32%.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of multifamily properties located in targeted markets throughout the United States. In addition to our focus on multifamily properties, we may also make selective strategic acquisitions of other types of commercial properties. We may also acquire or originate mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other real estate loans and equity securities of other real estate companies. As of June 30, 2015, we had invested in 18 multifamily properties for a total purchase price of $687,279,250. These property acquisitions were funded from proceeds of our public offering and $432,011,100 in secured financings.

May 2015	—	—	—		(3)
June 2015	2,283	—	—		(3)
	6,576	4,661

____________________

(1) We generally redeem shares on the last business day of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter in which requests were received.

(2) Pursuant to the plan, as amended, we currently redeem shares at prices determined as follows:

• 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year;

• 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years;

• 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years; and

• 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years.

Notwithstanding the above, the redemption price for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” will initially be the amount paid to acquire the shares from us. Furthermore, once we establish an estimated value per share of common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be based on our most recently established estimated value per share, as determined by our board of directors.

(3) The number of shares that may be redeemed pursuant to the share repurchase plan during any calendar year is limited to: (1) 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that can be funded from the net proceeds we received from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, plus such additional funds as may be reserved for that purpose by our board of directors.
