Dear Investors,

                                                            continuing a strong start into Q2. Below is a brief update on industry
                                                            trends, investment return and investment performance.



                                                            INDUSTRY TREND

                                                            Anthem House is currently 96% occupied, on par with a strong lease up
                                                            in the Gainesville student housing market. The University of Florida (UF)
                                                            welcomed  a  record-high  number  of  students  for  Fall  2021  semester.
                                                            According to the school enrollment office’s official count, 60,613 students
                                                            are enrolled for the fall semester, an increase of nearly 5% from last fall’s
                                                            enrollment of 57,841 students. UF’s population rise is reflected in both the
                                                            students on main campus and in online students. Students enrolled through
                                                            the main campus went up by 7% since Fall 2020, while enrollment for UF
                                                            Online  increased  by  about  2.5%.  Consequently,  the  off-campus  student
                                                            market was impacted by the flood of students, and Anthem House was a
                                                            direct recipient of this surge. Part of the Anthem House lease up success
                                                            pertained to the mix of graduate students and young professionals.


                                                            INVESTMENT RETURN


                                                            Recently, the Manager approved the cash distribution to the Members for
                                                            Q1 in the amount of $240,000. The distribution will be split according to
                                                            the  90/10  membership  interest  as  outlined  in  the  operating  agreement.
                                                            Additionally,  the  Manager  will  aim  to  distribute  any  construction  savings
                                                            after refinance. With regards to the refinance, we are working through the
                                                            details  of  a  thirty-six  (36)  mini-perm  loan  with  Seacoast  National  Bank.
                                                            The  loan  provides  for  24  months  of  interest  only  payments  followed  by
                                                            monthly principal and interest payments until maturity. We believe this is the
                                                            sufficient route to exit the construction loan and restore gross potential rent
                                                            to original projections prior to assuming a permanent loan. The refinance is
                                                            estimated to close by March 2022.


                                                            INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE


                                                            Anthem House is 27% preleased, securing 44 renewals and 6 new leases.
                                                            The team is 25% ahead of the prelease goal. Current preleasing pace is
                                                            steady. The team has captured an average of two renewals per week for the
                                                            past seven weeks. Five leases a week are needed to hit 100% occupancy
                                                            for Fall 2022. Traffic is anticipated to grow once the competitors in lower
                                                            price brackets lease-up. We will continue to monitor progress through the
                                                            remainder of the year.




                                                            Thank you for your partnership.
