Based on its focus on B and B+ quality properties in rapidly expanding Sunbelt markets, NXRT serves the following categories of customers:

• Young Professionals and Early Career Individuals: This demographic seeks modern, amenity-rich apartment living that offers flexibility and convenience in economically vibrant areas. They are often attracted to properties that provide a good value proposition for a comfortable lifestyle without the commitment of homeownership.
• Families and Mid-Career Professionals: This category includes individuals and small to medium-sized families looking for well-maintained and spacious rental housing. They often prioritize good school districts, convenient access to employment centers, and desirable community amenities, choosing to rent for flexibility, financial considerations, or lifestyle preferences.
• Empty Nesters and Lifestyle Renters: These customers include individuals or couples who may be downsizing from single-family homes, seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle, or relocating to warmer climates. They value properties that offer a strong sense of community, desirable amenities, and convenient access to retail, dining, and leisure activities, aligning with the "affordable luxury" offerings in NXRT's portfolio.
