Overview



We are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national
securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability company, formed on
January 24, 2020, and we currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow
us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are
focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing
commercial real estate located within qualified opportunity zones. At least 90%
of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property. We qualified as a
qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31,
2020. Because we are a qualified opportunity fund certain of our investors are
eligible for favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments.



All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through,
one or more of our Operating Companies, either directly or indirectly through
their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC
(our "Manager"), which is an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our
"Sponsor").



On September 30, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No.
333-255424) (the "Registration Statement"), registering up to $750,000,000 in
our Class A units on a continuous "best efforts" basis, as part of our ongoing
initial public offering (the "Primary Offering"), at an initial price equal
to
$100.00 per Class A unit.


Our dealings with Belpointe REIT, Inc.



During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), we conducted an offer to exchange
(the "Offer") each outstanding share of common stock (the "Common Stock"), of
Belpointe REIT, Inc. ("Belpointe REIT") validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05
of our Class A units, with any fractional Class A units rounded up to the
nearest whole unit (the "Transaction Consideration"). The Offer was completed on
September 14, 2021.



Following the Offer, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
Belpointe REIT converted from a corporation into a limited liability company
(the "Conversion") named BREIT, LLC ("BREIT"). In the Conversion each
outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company
interest (an "Interest") in BREIT. The Conversion was completed on October
1,
2021.



Following the Conversion, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, LLC ("BREIT Merger"), our
wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Merger"). In the Merger, each outstanding Interest
was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The
Merger was completed on October 12, 2021.

Prior to and in connection with the Offer and Merger, we entered into a series
of loan transactions with Belpointe REIT, whereby Belpointe REIT advanced us an
aggregate of $74.0 million evidenced by a series of secured promissory notes
(the "Secured Notes") bearing interest at an annual rate of 0.14%, due and
payable on December 31, 2021, and secured by all of our assets. Upon
consummation of the Merger, BREIT Merger acquired the Secured Notes as successor
in interest to Belpointe REIT and, effective October 12, 2021, we entered into a
Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness agreement with BREIT Merger pursuant to
the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the Secured Notes and discharged us
from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the
Secured Notes.



Our Business Outlook



While market conditions for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties have
remained strong over the past several quarters, future economic conditions and
the demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties are, and the real
estate industry in general is, subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of
factors, including, among others, increasing interest rates, higher rates of
inflation, financial market volatility, general economic uncertainty, increasing
energy costs, ongoing supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and the
continuing impact of COVID-19. The potential effect of these and other factors
and the projected impact of these and other events on our business, results of
operations and financial performance presents material uncertainty and risk with
respect to our future performance and financial results, including the potential
to negatively impact our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the
value of our investments, and the laws, regulations and governmental and
regulatory policies applicable to us. As a result, our past performance may not
be indicative of future results.



Given the evolving nature of these factors, the extent to which they may impact
our future performance and financial results will depend on future developments
which remain highly uncertain and, as a result, at this time we are unable to
estimate the impact that these factors may have on our future financial results.
Our Manager continuously reviews our investment and financing strategies for
optimization and to reduce our risk in the face of the fluidity of these and
other factors.

Investments in commercial real estate loans



Norpointe Secured Loan - On January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of
$30.0 million (the "Norpointe Loan") to Norpointe, LLC ("Norpointe"), an
affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real
property located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the
"Norpointe Property"). The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on December 31,
2022, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. Given
our excess cash on hand as of the year ended December 31, 2021, management
viewed the Norpointe transaction as an opportunity to earn a strong rate of
return on that cash by making a low risk-due to the low loan-to-value ratio and
first priority mortgage interest-short-term loan rather than depositing the
funds in a lower yielding account pending investment in future developments.



On June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund
requirements, we restructured the Norpointe Loan through BPOZ 1000 First QOZB,
LLC ("BPOZ 1000"), our indirect majority-owned subsidiary, whereby BPOZ 1000
provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million
(the "QOZB Loan") to Norpointe. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, Norpointe repaid
the Norpointe Loan in full. The QOZB Loan is evidenced by a promissory note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on June 28, 2023 and
is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

Visco Secured Loan - On February 23, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned

Revenue



Rental Revenue



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, rental revenue increased
by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in lease revenues as a
result of our acquisition of additional properties partially offset by a
decrease in rental revenue as a result of the sole tenant vacating our 1900
Fruitville Road investment.



Expenses



Property Expenses



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property expenses
consisted of management fees, property operational expenses, real estate taxes,
and utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our acquired
investments. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021
property expenses consisted of property expenses, real estate taxes, and
utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our acquired
investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property
expenses increased by $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as compared
to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to management fees
incurred following our Registration Statement being declared effective and
properties acquired during 2022 and 2021.

expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily
consisted of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our management
agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement), marketing expenses, legal,
audit, tax and accounting fees. The Company became liable for general and
administrative costs in October 2021, in connection with the first closing of
our Offering, and therefore general and administrative expenses for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of employee cost
sharing expenses (pursuant to our management agreement and employee and cost
sharing agreement).


Depreciation and amortization

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022depreciation increased by $0.2 million and $0.5 millionrespectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. This increase is mainly attributable to the operating properties acquired in 2022 and 2021.


Other Income (Loss)


Gain on redemption of A fair investment



On September 30, 2021, we lent approximately $3.5 million to CMC Storrs SPV, LLC
a Connecticut limited liability company ("CMC"), pursuant to the terms of a
promissory note (the "CMC Note") secured by a Mortgage Deed and Security
Agreement. CMC used the proceeds from the CMC Note to enter into a Redemption
Agreement with BPOZ 497 Middle Holding, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability
company ("BPOZ 497"), and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Belpointe REIT,
to redeem BPOZ 497's preferred equity investment in CMC in accordance with the
terms of the Merger Agreement.



In connection with CMC's redemption of BPOZ 497's preferred equity investment,
we recognized a gain on redemption of equity investment of $0.3 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no comparable activity
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.



Interest Income



For the three months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $0.5 million
and is primarily related to interest of $0.4 million earned on the QOZB Loan and
$0.1 million earned on the Visco Loan. For the nine months ended September 30,
2022, interest income was $1.5 million and is primarily related to interest of
$0.7 million earned on the Norpointe Loan, $0.4 million earned on the QOZB Loan,
$0.2 million earned on the CMC Loan, and $0.2 million earned on the Visco Loan.
For additional details regarding our commercial real estate loans, see "-Our

Effective September 14, 2021, Belpointe REIT lent $24.8 million to Belpointe
Investment Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Belpointe
Investment"), and affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of a secured
promissory note (the "BI Secured Note"). Interest accrued on the BI Secured Note
at a rate of 5% per annum and was repaid on November 30, 2021, in connection
with our acquisition of 1991 Main. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021, interest income on the BI Secured Note was $0.1 million and was
primarily related to interest earned on the BI Secured Note.



Other Income (Expense)



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expense)
primarily relates to tax fees, sales tax in connection with the 1991 Main
parking garage easement agreement and interest expense on the 900 Eighth
Promissory Note. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other income
(expense) relates to the elimination of interest expense on the Secured Notes as
a result of the Offer. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other
income (expense) relates to Belpointe PREP's proportionate share of losses from
one unconsolidated joint venture as well as interest expense incurred on the 900

Provision for Income Taxes



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, provision for income
taxes relates to taxes incurred (including penalties and interest) in connection
with our acquisition of Belpointe REIT. As a result of the Conversion of
Belpointe REIT into BREIT, Belpointe REIT was deemed to have been liquidated and
its tax year ended on October 1, 2021. Belpointe REIT's deemed liquidation
resulted in a taxable gain for the year ended October 1, 2021. In connection
with the Conversion, we filed an extension for the time to file Belpointe REIT's
2021 tax returns, however, we did not make an estimated payment at that time as
we had not yet calculated Belpointe REIT's 2021 tax liability.



Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest



Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the share of
earnings generated in entities we consolidate in which we do not own 100% of the
equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net loss
attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $0.4 million and $0.4
million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase
primarily relates to losses allocated to noncontrolling interest holders on our
CMC and 900 8th Avenue South investments based upon an allocation of each
investment's net assets at book value as if the investments were hypothetically
liquidated at the end of each reporting period.



Cash and capital resources



Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our
investments, including construction and development costs, pay our offering and
operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we make to the holders
of our units and pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness that we incur.



Our offering and operating fees and expenses include, among other things, legal,
audit and valuation fees and expenses, federal and state filing fees, SEC, FINRA
and NYSE American filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer
agent fees, marketing and distribution fees, the management fee that we pay to
our Manager, and fees and expenses related to acquiring, financing, appraising,
and managing our commercial real estate properties. We do not have office or
personnel expenses as we do not have any employees.



Where our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have funded, and in
the future if they continue to fund, our liquidity and capital resource needs by
advancing us offering and operating fees and expenses, we reimburse our Manager
and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of our
management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement. Fees payable and
expenses reimbursable to our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor,
may be paid, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class
A Units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing.
There were no organization or Primary Offering costs incurred by our Manager and
its affiliates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Manager and its
affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred organization and Primary Offering
expenses of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, our Manager and its affiliates, including
our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.4 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, on our behalf. During the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred
operating expenses of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on our
behalf.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our indirect wholly owned
subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the
redevelopment of 1991 Main. The construction management agreement contains terms
and conditions that are customary for a project of this type and will be subject
to guaranteed maximum price. As of September 30, 2022, we had an unfunded
capital commitment of $155.3 million under the terms of this agreement. We
currently anticipate that the remaining funding for construction and soft costs
associated with the redevelopment will be a minimum of $228.7 million.



We expect to obtain the liquidity and capital resources that we need over the
short and long-term from the proceeds of our Primary Offering and any future
offerings that we may conduct, from the advancement of reimbursable fees and
expenses by our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, from secured
or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed
funds from operations. For additional details regarding our Primary Offering,
see "Part II-Other Information, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds-Use of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities."

We currently anticipate that our available capital resources, including the
proceeds from our Primary Offering and the proceeds from any construction or
other loans that we may incur, when combined with cash flow generated from our
operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and
capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.



Leverage


We employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. We
believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage will help us to
achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our
investments.



Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the
Company level or on assets under development or redevelopment, after we have
acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized commercial real estate, is
between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or
other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period
when we are acquiring, developing and redeveloping our investments, we may
employ greater leverage on individual assets. An example of property-level
leverage is a mortgage loan secured by an individual property or portfolio of
properties incurred or assumed in connection with our acquisition of such
property or portfolio of properties. An example of debt at the Company level is
a line of credit obtained by us or our Operating Companies.



Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion
in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity
capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt
and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors.
There is no limit on the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual
property or portfolio.

(Note 4). Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended
