Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which it is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as the primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE's economic performance, and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

The Operating Partnership is considered to be a VIE. The Company consolidates this entity as it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the entities such as purchases, dispositions, financings, budgets, and overall operating plans.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company's subsidiary partnerships. Third party unitholders of Operating Partnership's share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the Operating Partnership is included in non-controlling interest as equity of the Company. The non-controlling interest is generally computed based on third party unit-holders ownership percentage.

Non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership represent limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership ("Operating Partnership units") that are held by third parties, including the Adviser, and Operating Partnership units issued to the Adviser under an advisory agreement by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Adviser (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the

"Advisory Agreement"). Operating Partnership units may be redeemed for cash, or at the Company's option, for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, unless those units are held by the Adviser or Special Limited Partner, in which case such Operating Partnership units shall be redeemed for shares of common stock of the Company or cash, at the holder's election. Since the number of shares of common stock outstanding is equal to the number of Operating Partnership units owned by the Company, the redemption value of each common unit of the Operating Partnership is equal to the market value of each share of common stock and distributions paid to each unitholder of the Operating Partnership is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders, per respective share class.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand, and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, the Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $58.5 million and $82.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash held in a deposit account controlled by a third party, tenant security deposits and reserves held in escrow related to real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance in connection with mortgages on certain of the Company's properties. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $2.9 million and $0.1 million of restricted cash, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Under normal market conditions, the fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with reliable readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's investments in real estate debt consisted of commercial mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by real estate assets and real estate-related securities. The Company has elected the fair value option ("FVO") for investments in commercial mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by real estate assets as the Company believes fair value provides a more accurate depiction of the value of these assets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, real estate-related securities met the criteria to be classified as trading securities under ASC 320, "Investments" and accordingly, the Company carries such securities at fair value. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third-party pricing service providers whenever available.

The Company's investments in commercial mortgage loans are unlikely to have reliable readily available market quotations. In such cases, the Company will generally determine the initial value based on the acquisition price of such investment if acquired by the Company or the par value of such investment if originated by the Company. Following the initial measurement, the Company will determine fair value by utilizing or reviewing certain of the following (i) market yield data, (ii) discounted cash flow modeling, (iii) collateral asset performance, (iv) local or macro real estate performance, (v) capital market conditions, (vi) debt yield or loan-to-value ratios, and (vii) borrower financial condition and performance. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company's investments in commercial mortgage loans are considered Level 3.

The fair value of real estate-related securities may be determined by using third-party pricing service providers or broker-dealer quotes, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company's investments in real estate-related securities are considered Level 2.

Valuation of liabilities not measured at fair value

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the combined fair value of the Company's secured debt arrangements and mortgage notes was $505.9 million and $176.0 million, respectively, which approximated carrying value. The fair value of the Company's indebtedness is estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company's debt arrangements and mortgages and discounting them back to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. Additionally, the Company considers current market rate and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company's indebtedness are considered Level 3.

Investment Property and Lease Intangibles

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the operations of acquired properties will be included in the Company's results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. The Company will utilize a report from an independent appraiser to record the purchase of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations and mortgage loans payable.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship

intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants' credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs, and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, the Company evaluates the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation includes an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The amortization of in-place lease intangibles is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Acquired above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and the Company's estimate of fair market value lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, which include periods covered by bargain renewal options, if applicable. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value will be charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of out-of-market lease value will be charged to rental revenue.

Significant improvements to properties are capitalized, whereas, repairs and maintenance expenses at the Company's properties are expensed as incurred and included in rental property operating expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. When an asset is sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in the Company's results of operations for the period.

Real estate assets are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company will consider the following factors when performing its impairment analysis: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; (2) significant negative industry and economic outlook or trends; (3) expected material costs necessary to extend the life or operate the real estate asset; and (4) its ability to hold and dispose of the real estate asset in the ordinary course of business. A real estate asset is considered impaired when the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the real estate asset over the estimated remaining holding period is less than the carrying value of such real estate asset. An impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the real estate asset over the fair value. When determining the fair value of a real estate asset, the Company makes certain assumptions including, but not limited to, consideration of projected operating cash flows, comparable selling prices and projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of the real estate asset based upon its estimate of a capitalization rate and discount rate. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not recorded any impairments on its investments in real estate.

Investments in Real Estate Debt

The Company's investments in real estate debt consist of commercial mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by real estate and real estate-related securities. The Company has elected the FVO for its commercial mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by real estate. Real-estate related securities met the criteria to be classified as trading securities under ASC 320, "Investments". Trading securities are recognized on a trade date basis and are carried at fair value. The unrealized gain or loss associated with holding real estate debt investments at fair value are recorded as a component of income from investments in real estate debt on the Company's consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.2 million unrealized loss and a $35.1 thousand of unrealized gain on its investments in real estate debt, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized over the respective financing terms and are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a component of interest expense. For the Company's debt facilities that have outstanding borrowings, the capitalized financing costs, net of amortization, are reflected as a direct deduction of such facilities. For debt facilities that do not have outstanding borrowings or for revolving facilities, the capitalized financing costs, net of amortization, are recorded as a component of other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's rental revenue consists of base rent and tenant reimbursement income arising from tenant leases at the Company's properties under operating leases. Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent step ups or abatements. Revenues from the Company's multifamily properties are recorded when due from tenants and are recognized monthly as they are earned, which generally approximates a straight-line basis. The Company accounts for base rental revenue (lease component) and common area expense reimbursement (non-lease component) as one lease component under Accounting Standards Codification 842, "Leases".

The Company evaluates the collectability of receivables related to rental revenue on an individual lease basis. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectability and considers the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, tenant creditworthiness, payment history, available information about the financial condition of the tenant, and current economic trends, among other factors. Tenant receivables that are deemed uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to rental revenue. However, any future cash receipts on leases that are deemed uncollectible will be recorded as income on a cash basis. As of December 31, 2025, no rental revenue from the Company's leases was deemed uncollectible.

Interest income from the Company's investments in real estate debt is recognized over the life of each investment using the effective interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of premiums and discounts associated with these investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the investment as an adjustment to yield. Upfront costs and other fees related to items for which the FVO is elected are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred. Interest income, upfront costs and other fees are recorded as components of income from investments in real estate debt on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Commercial mortgage and mezzanine loans that are significantly past due may be placed on non-accrual status if the Company determines it is probable that it will not collect all payments which are contractually due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest is only recorded as interest income when it is received. A loan may be placed back on accrual status if the Company determines it is probable that it will collect all payments which are contractually due. As of December 31, 2025, none of the Company's loans were on non-accrual status.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2023. As long as the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its taxable income to stockholders. REITs are also subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property, including taxes on any undistributed income. For the year ended December 31, 2025, no material deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recognized, and detailed tabular disclosure are not presented due to the insignificance of reported tax expense.

The Company has formed wholly owned subsidiaries, one or more of which function as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a "TRS"). With respect to each TRS, the Company has filed a TRS election, together with such subsidiary, with the Internal Revenue Service. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for the Company's tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. The TRSs are subject to income taxation at the federal, state and local levels, as applicable, at regular corporate tax rates. The tax returns filed by the Company and its TRSs for tax years 2022, 2023 and 2024 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The restricted stock grants of Class E shares held by the Company's directors are considered to be participating securities because they contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions. The impact of these restricted stock grants on basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the restricted stock grants based on dividends declared and the restricted stocks' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organizational expenses are expensed as incurred on the Company's consolidated statement of operations, and offering costs are charged to equity as incurred on Company's consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity.

The Adviser and its affiliates advanced $8.0 million of organization and offering expenses on behalf of the Company (including legal, accounting, and other expenses attributable to the Company's organization, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through December 22, 2023, and the Company reimburses the Adviser for all such advanced expenses ratably over the 60 month period beginning December 22, 2024. Any amount due to the Adviser but not paid is recorded as a component of due to affiliates on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Stockholder Servicing Fee

Apollo Global Securities, LLC (the "Dealer Manager"), a registered broker-dealer affiliated with the Adviser, serves as the dealer manager for the Follow-On Offering. The Dealer Manager is entitled to receive selling commissions and dealer manager fees based on the transaction price of each applicable class of shares sold in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager is also entitled to receive a stockholder servicing fee based on the aggregate NAV of the Company's outstanding Class S shares and Class D shares.

For Class S shares sold in the primary offering, investors pay upfront selling commissions of up to 3% and dealer manager fees of up to 0.5% of the transaction price; however, such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers, provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price. For Class D shares sold in the primary offering, investors pay upfront selling commissions of up to 1.5% of the transaction price.

The Dealer Manager, as the dealer manager for the Follow-On Offering, is entitled to receive stockholder servicing fees of 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV for Class S shares. For Class D shares, a charge of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV will be charged for stockholder servicing fees.

The Dealer Manager has entered into agreements with selected dealers that agree to distribute the Company's shares in the Offerings, which will provide, among other things, for the reallowance of the full amount of the selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees to such selected dealers. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any Class S share or Class D share held in a stockholder's account at the end of the month in which the total selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to such shares would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such share. There will not be a stockholder servicing fee, upfront selling commission or dealer manager fee with respect to Class I shares, Class F-I shares, Class A-I shares and Class A-III shares. The Company accrues the cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time of each Class S share and Class D share is sold during the primary offering. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued $22 thousand of stockholder servicing fees related to Class S shares and Class D shares sold. Such fees are recorded as a component of due to affiliates on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not have any accrued stockholder servicing fees as of December 31, 2024.

Share Based Payments

The Company accounts for share-based compensation to its independent directors, to the Adviser and to employees of the Adviser and its affiliates using the fair value-based methodology prescribed by GAAP. Compensation cost related to restricted common stock issued is measured at its fair value at the grant date and amortized into expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregation of certain expense captions in financial statement disclosures for each interim and annual reporting period. The guidance is effective for annual periods starting after December 15, 2026, and interim periods after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. It is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. We have not early adopted ASU 2024-03 and are currently evaluating its impact. We do not expect it to materially affect our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09, which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.
