Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “potential”, “predict”, “continue”,
“project”, “guide”, or other similar words or expressions.  These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs

forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are
subject to change. IRT does not guarantee that the assumptions underlying such forward looking statements are free from
errors. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: the risk factors and other disclosure contained in filings by IRT with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, without limitation, IRT’s most recent annual and quarterly reports
filed with SEC. IRT’s SEC filings are available on IRT’s website at www.irtreit.com.

IRT is an apartment REIT focused on building a portfolio of well-located apartment properties in
supply constrained secondary and tertiary markets which generate
attractive current returns with
the potential for rent increases and improved operating efficiency.


Attractive Apartment Industry Dynamics Support Strong Demand
4
Positive Trends
Data Source: U.S. Census Bureau, National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC), Economy.com, RAIT Financial Trust
IRT expects conditions will remain favorable for apartment fundamentals for the foreseeable future in secondary markets.
Positive Demographic Factors.
The Echo boom generation (born early 80’s –
’00’s), which is significantly larger than Gen X (born early
60’s –
80’s), is entering the rental market.  Harvard research suggests that renters could make up half of all new households by 2020. 
This equates to up to 7 million new renter households this decade.
Supply Shortage.
Supply has been constrained since the recession; U.S. needs 300,000 new apartments every year to meet demand. 
Supply is still playing catch-up from the impacts of the recession.  In 2010, there were only 100,804 new apartments built.  In 2013,
133,388  new apartments were built.  Through the first three quarters of 2014, 114,262 new apartments were built. The majority of new
developments since the downturn have been focused on primary markets.
Low
homeownership.
Changing
demographic
factors
and
lifestyles
plus
stringent
mortgage
lending
standards
and
competition
from
own-
to-rent
investors
have
resulted
in
the
homeownership
rate
at
levels
last
seen
in
the
mid-1990s
