NEXPOINT RESIDENTIAL TRUST, INC. (NYSE:NXRT) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June30, 2017, NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. (“NXRT OP”), acquired a property in Marietta, Georgia from an unaffiliated third-party for approximately $113.5million. The property, Rockledge – A Residential Resort (“Rockledge”) totals 708 apartment units situated on 78.1 acres of contiguous land situated within Atlanta’s second largest ClassA Office submarket (Cumberland/Galleria), approximately one mile from the new Atlanta Braves stadium (Sun Trust Park), with direct access to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Originally developed in three phases by Post Properties, the community had average monthly rents of $1,153 and 93.6% physical occupancy at acquisition.

The Rockledge acquisition was structured as a reverse 1031 exchange to facilitate the Company’s continued plan to recycle capital in a tax efficient manner from dispositions of its rehabbed assets into well-located, “covered-land” assets with value-add potential in the Company’s core target markets. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand, and borrowings of approximately $113.5million under the 2016 Bridge Facility with KeyBank National Association, as amended on June30, 2017, and a new first mortgage with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), which the Company entered into, through NXRT OP, on June30, 2017. Following the completion of the reverse 1031 exchange, management expects the Rockledge loan-to-value ratio to stabilize at approximately 55%.
