| Statement |

| In the intermediate term, we expect our available liquidity and balance sheet with no maturities in 2025, will be a real competitive advantage in pursuing these types of opportunities |
| We avoided all other capital allocation alternatives over the last several months and we believe share repurchases will yield the highest return |
| The third quarter results continue to reflect the positive impact on a year-over-year basis from the quarter buyouts |
| Fundamentals in our markets are strong and absent Nashville and Dallas where new suppliers are weighing on absorption and are requiring higher concessions |
| We are doing a good job of controlling costs where we can but inflation is certainly having an impact in most expense categories |
| The primary components were, revenue grew 4.1%, primarily due to increased rental rates across the portfolio |
| And I think over a short period of time, those will be occupied and then we'll see better results |
| Average monthly rents for the combined portfolio in the third quarter were up 6.8% compared to the 2022 quarter |
| Insurance was up 67% year-over-year due to the increases we've mentioned all year, combined with the final clean-up of the cancellations of previous policies |
| We happen to think that the buybacks are a great opportunity but it's not really in relation to the activity of acquiring properties because, frankly, we're not aggressive in the market -- with market where interest rates stand today |
| We have talked about taking care of the portfolio and ensuring we make the right decisions to realize better performance |
| But in time, I think it will improve substantially |
| For leases signed in the third quarter of 2023, we saw a 4.7% increase on renewal leases, a 2% increase on new leases and a 3.5% increase on a blended basis compared with the prior lease |
| Alamo Ranch and Bells Bluff are 2 good examples |
| Thank you and have a good day |
| Of this amount, controllable expenses were up 5.8%, while non-controllable expenses were up 19.1% |
| We are also incurring the year-over-year increase in insurance costs that we are experiencing this year due to rolling up individual policies into a master policy but we believe that should moderate in 2024 and is the right long-term decision for us |
| Jeffrey Gould Well, thank you all for your time and your continued confidence and interest in BRT |
| Barry Oxford Great |
| For October, we saw a 5.5% increase in renewal leases, a 0.7% decrease on new leases and a 2.7% increase on a blended basis compared with the prior lease |
| Alamo Ranch has seen some stabilization in the tenancy and reduction of bad debt |
| Ryan Baltimore Good morning |
| All of these trends argue of even more patience in the near term |
| FFO was $0.31 per diluted share compared to $0.29 per diluted share a year ago, primarily due to a reduction in early extinguishment of debt and an increase in other income |
| Thank you |

| Heavy buying of assets over the past 2 years would have translated to being underwater on today's valuations |
| Unfortunately, the toughest operational challenge we're facing right now is expense growth |
| However, inflationary headwinds and the underperformance of 2 properties are muting our NOI growth |
| The underperformance of Alamo Ranch in San Antonio and Bells Bluff in Nashville cost us approximately 200 basis points in combined portfolio NOI growth this quarter |
| The new housing starts and new permits have slowed a lot |
| This was offset by a decline in operating margins from the sale of properties in the prior year period |
| Combined portfolio NOI decreased 0.4% in the third quarter compared with the third quarter 2022 |
| It's still a softer market with -- because there's so much new supply |
| These owners are facing CapEx issues, expiring interest rate swaps, debt maturities and insurance issues |
| That continues to be below the $300 per unit of replacements we have been assuming in our expense growth included in the combined portfolio NOI guidance |
| There's a general oversupply in Nashville for sure |
| New supply isn't having an adverse impact above what we've been anticipating |
| Along with real estate taxes, that inflationary headwind is not something we can control |
| While these rent increases are not what we and others in the industry achieved during the pandemic on a blended basis, we are still seeing positive growth but we're more cautious about where trends are heading on new leases |
| The primary reason for the year-over-year decline was the $0.61 per share gain in the prior year period from the sale of our property owned by an unconsolidated subsidiary |
| But like I said, I think a real tailwind in a few years is going to be the lack of permits that are going -- are entering to the market now and they're finishing up construction as opposed to starting now |
| As you've heard on other earnings calls this quarter, the market has softened this past quarter with the supply increases in the Southeast but over the longer term, we believe that as sholes [ph] are going into the ground today that provides more optimism for the future |
| At Bells Bluff, we needed to provide more concessions to build occupancy and that is taking more time than expected |
| There aren't really any read-throughs on cap rates in those kinds of transactions, plus there have been a lot of retrades |
| Debt to enterprise value as of September 30 was 67% compared with 62% a year ago, primarily due to the lower market capitalization this period |
