CORPORATE PRESENTATION, SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 | 37 Company Overview | Market Overview | Portfolio Optimization | Capital Allocation | Balance Sheet | ESG ESG Information About Net Operating Income (NOI) RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI) DEFINITION OF NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI): NOI represents total revenues less total operating expenses, as reconciled to net income above. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing unlevered performance of its property types and markets as it relates to total return on assets, as opposed to levered return on equity. As properties are considered for sale and acquisition based on NOI estimates and projections, the Company utilizes this measure to make investment decisions, as well as compare the performance of its assets to those of its peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income, and the Company’s use of NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company calculates NOI before any allocations to noncontrolling interests, as those interests do not affect the overall performance of the individual assets being measured and assessed Q2 2024 Total Q1 2024 Total Net Income (loss) $2,735 $(4,469) Deduct: Income from discontinued operations (1,419) (252) Realized gains and unrealized gains on disposition of rental property and impairments, net - (1,548) Real estate services income (871) (922) Interest and other investment income (1,536) (538) Equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated joint ventures (2,933) (254) (Gain) loss on disposition of developable land (10,731) (784) Loss from extinguishment of debt, net 785 - Gain on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests - (7,100) Other income, net 250 (255) Add: Real estate services expenses 4,366 5,242 General and administrative 8,975 11,088 Transaction-related costs 890 516 Depreciation and amortization 20,316 20,117 Interest expense 21,676 21,500 Provision for income taxes 176 59 Net Operating Income (NOI) $42,679 $42,400

CORPORATE PRESENTATION, SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 | 38 Company Overview | Market Overview | Portfolio Optimization | Capital Allocation | Balance Sheet | ESG Definitions Net Blended Rental Growth Rate combines new lease and renewal lease growth rates. New lease growth rate refers to the difference in rent a new occupant of a unit is paying compared to the rent the unit’s previous occupant was paying on a net effective basis. Renewal lease growth rate refers to the increase or decrease in monthly rent in a renewed lease compared to the previous lease on a net effective basis. Net Operating Income (NOI) represents total revenues less total operating expenses, as reconciled to net income above. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing unlevered performance of its property types and markets as it relates to total return on assets, as opposed to levered return on equity. As properties are considered for sale and acquisition based on NOI estimates and projections, the Company utilizes this measure to make investment decisions, as well as compare the performance of its assets to those of its peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income, and the Company’s use of NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company calculates NOI before any allocations to non-controlling interests, as those interests do not affect the overall performance of the individual assets being measured and assessed. Average Effective Monthly Rent Per Home represents the average effective rent (net of concessions) for in-place leases and the market rent for vacant homes. ORA™ score is an aggregate compilation of a property’s ratings across various review sites. Each month, J Turner Research monitors the online ratings of properties nationwide. Using a statistical model, a single score based on a scale of 0 to 100 is assigned to each property. Elite 1% ORA® is an annual ranking of the properties assessed by ORA® nationally. The top 1% make it to the list, typically requiring a property score above 95. Same Store includes properties that were owned for the entirety of the years being compared and exclude properties under redevelopment or development and properties acquired, sold or classified as held for sale during the years being compared.
