                                                            in  the  Ruston  market.  Below  is  a  brief  update  on  industry  trends,
                                                            investment return and investment performance.


                                                            INDUSTRY TREND

                                                            Preserve  is  currently  72%  occupied  and  is  forecasted  to  reach  91%
                                                            for the 2022-23 year based on retention expectations as well as market
                                                            information from the 2021 lease-up. For 2021, La Tech enrollment remained
                                                            steady, increasing marginally with over 10,280 enrolled. La Tech welcomed
                                                            approximately 2,000 freshmen on-campus and is undergoing improvements
                                                            to on-campus housing. New beds were brought online for August 2021. On-
                                                            Campus occupancy was 94% at the close of the Fall quarter. Another 200
                                                            beds will be released for the 2022-23 academic year.


                                                            INVESTMENT RETURN


                                                            Recently, the Manager approved the cash distribution to the Members for
                                                            Q1 in the amount of $170,000. The distribution will be split pari passau,
                                                            according to the membership interest as outlined in the operating agreement.
                                                            Additionally, the less than projected occupancy prohibits the original plan to
                                                            refinance this Academic Year. Instead, the Manager will look to refinance
                                                            the asset next year upon a successful lease-up.


                                                            INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE


                                                            The Preserve is currently beating Fall projections, hovering at 19% preleased
                                                            for 2022-23. The management team will be occupying the L Booth on the
                                                            Tech campus at least once a week through the semester. Furthermore, the
                                                            team has implemented a referral program to incentivize residents to renew
                                                            and invite friends to lease at the Preserve. Our marketing team is preparing
                                                            a second eBlast to the student list of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
                                                            acquired last year.

                                                            Thank you for your partnership.
