Collab’s Monthly Newsletter: November! With the recent volatility in both stocks and crypto amid the ongoing Fed rate cuts, we’re very optimistic about the 2025 outlook of our student housing portfolio. Of course, Collab will monitor the real estate markets closely in each of our property regions to be positioned for the best possible exits of our high-quality assets like 1742 Spruce St and 2340 Hilgard Ave in Berkeley, CA, and 19 Buttonwood St #3 and 21 Buttonwood St #2 in Boston, MA, among others. Diversify your holdings and collect your share of the monthly rent of these properties! Visit: www.collabhome.io Property Management at Collab Our tenants, team, and investors know that quality property management is at the core of our business, and incredibly important to the success of our platform. We pride ourselves on our efforts in this part of our business and it’s our community-centric approach to property management that makes Collab so disruptive. With that in mind, we’re always happy to see tenant reviews like this: "I had a good experience living at ###### (Collab). The management was very responsive to maintenance requests and very helpful setting up leases; the parking garage proved safe for my car and the mail room is well maintained and secure. The apartment itself was clean and updated, and the property managers are very kind and helpful. Collab did a good job incentivizing and facilitating tours as well as repairs by other tenants, and I would recommend their properties!" In addition, two of our systems -- related to both leasing and property management ("our task center") -- are being optimized for the new year. There are exciting developments behind the scenes which make Collab's efficiency even more streamlined, and that's great for our investor community as well. We’ll also be announcing a new team member soon in our asset management department. Connecting with our Community We recently launched our open Google Meet “Lunch/Brunch Sessions” with Collab. Held every other Friday, no RSVP necessary, join us at 9AM PST / 12 PM EST for an open Q&A session with a few members from the Collab team. Upcoming “Lunch/Brunch” sessions: Friday, November 22, 2024: 9AM PST / 12 PM EST Friday, December 6, 2024: 9AM PST / 12 PM EST Friday, December 20, 2024: 9AM PST / 12 PM EST Marketing Push! For every member of our community – tenants, vendors, partners, and investors – who have shared our platform with their friends, family, and colleagues – we thank you! Word of mouth helps immeasurably with a growth company like ours. Of course, we also continue to push our marketing efforts and we’re excited to have teamed up with a new partner to launch a series of new Meta ad campaigns. These efforts will help Collab attract a larger community of investors and increase the momentum for our offerings and help our platform’s growth. Until next time… thanks for being a member of our community! The Team at Collab RESPECT | FOCUS | COLLABORATION

Congratulations!🔥BUTTONWOOD CLOSING: Since many of the investors in our community hold shares in the modern student housing condo at 19 Buttonwood St #3, Boston, MA, 🏠we wanted to let you know we hit a milestone! Our offering for this SEC-qualified Reg A+ listing is now SOLD OUT and funded at 100%! 💯 📈What does this mean? It means that this offering is fully subscribed as a fractional real estate asset owned by Collab and our community of investors. 🙏We will continue to manage this property – with our community-centric property management program – and send monthly distributions for this high-quality cash-flowing student housing asset. 💰

🔥Build Your Portfolio: 19-3 Buttonwood Closing Soon! 💰As you build and diversify your real estate investment portfolio... 🤝Remember that Collab currently has four SEC-qualified offerings that have projected annual distributions over 5.5%! (Our fifth offering has a projected yield of 4.5%). In this falling interest rate environment, those are VERY competitive cash-on-cash yields for all investors (accredited or non-accredited), and with such low minimums. Even our student housing property at 33 Mine Street which has a projected annual distribution of 7.5% (!!) is open for investment with only a $300 minimum. 🏠But today, we want to remind you about 19 Buttonwood Street #3, a student housing condo in Boston’s Savin Hill / Dorchester neighborhood close to UMASS-Boston. This SEC-qualified Reg A+ offering is nearly fully subscribed – at 94.7% funded – and will close by Tuesday, October 15, 2024, if not sooner. 🤔Do you own any shares of 19 Buttonwood #3? At a $20 minimum investment, you can still own more fractional shares in this cash-flowing property before it closes! 📈Well, you may have noticed that the projected annual distribution on Buttonwood is now at 6.0%, starting from September 1, 2024. This means that the October distributions, and all distributions going forward, will now pay out at this higher rate. #PassiveIncome #USstudentHousing #democratizingrealestate #investors #buildweath #SEC #CollabHome #democratizingrealestate

These are the last few days to qualify for mid-October distributions – your share of the rent of these newest cash-flowing student housing properties at 21 Buttonwood St #2, Boston, MA, and 33 Mine St, New Brunswick, NJ, near UMass-Boston and Rutgers University, respectively. 💰Here’s what’s available and open for investment on Collab, with each property’s annual projected distribution: 33 Mine St, New Brunswick, NJ (near Rutgers University), 7.5% 21 Buttonwood St #2, Boston, MA (near UMass-Boston), 6.0% 19 Buttonwood St #3, Boston, MA (near UMass-Boston), 4.0% 2340 Hilgard Ave, Berkeley, CA (near UC Berkeley), 4.5% 1742 Spruce St, Berkeley, CA (near UC Berkeley), 5.5% 📈Make your ‘money moves’ before the month ends and join Collab, and our community of over 1600 investors, as co-owners in these high-occupancy, cash flowing student housing properties.

🏠New Property Alert, starting at $100! 🌆Boston, Massachusetts has an incredible reputation for higher education, so it makes sense that student housing in “Beantown” is a solid asset class for real estate investors. Overall, the greater Boston area has about fifty to sixty-five colleges and universities, depending on which types of institutions you include. 💰So it’s no surprise that Collab’s live investment offerings already feature a couple premier Boston condos in the Savin Hill neighborhood of Dorchester/Boston, a short walk from the JFK/UMASS MBTA station. This convenient “T” station gives Collab tenants access to Boston’s rapid transit Red Line, as well as three MBTA commuter rail lines, and three MBTA bus routes. 📈The contemporary residence at 21 Buttonwood #2, Boston, MA is a two bedroom, two bath property, which was renovated with premium finishes in June 2022, part of a collection of six luxury condos owned and managed by Collab. The unit features quartz countertops and kitchen islands, stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinetry, hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, in-unit laundry, central AC, tankless hot water heaters, bathrooms with frameless glass enclosed showers, matte black faucets, and full tile decor. 👍The proximity to the University of Massachusetts-Boston campus is a central feature of this property for our college/graduate student tenants. UMass-Boston has well-regarded nursing, business, psychology, and biology undergrad programs, and education, nursing, public affairs, and clinical psychology graduate programs. 💲When you invest in 21 Buttonwood #2, you’ll earn a projected annual distribution rate of 4.0% (paid out monthly), and have the added benefit of upside appreciation in your equity. The investment minimum is $100, open to all investors accredited or non-accredited, and you can add to your investment at any time. 💪Are you ready to own cash-flowing student housing property in Boston? #SEC #usrealestate #PassiveIncome #Investwithcollab #investors #CollabHome #democratizingrealestate

🔥Crowdfunding Partners: Learn and Grow 🏠For our crowdfunding business, we consistently expand our expertise in this industry from our escrow, broker dealer, transfer agent, development, and legal partners. Early on Collab’s founder Qian Wang and the management team chose premiere partners like Vertalo (transfer agent), Dalmore Group (FINRA-authorized broker/dealer), North Capital (transaction/escrow), Scalio (tech stack), and CrowdCheck (securities counsel) to help position Collab as the key platform for student housing real estate investment offerings. Their partnerships – and regular communications with our team – provide the tools, compliance, and the growth engine behind Collab’s next chapter.🤝 📈As we continue to navigate the SEC requirements to best protect our investors and help them maximize their investment capital, we’re happy to share that we continue to learn every day about the intricacies of launching and managing Reg A+ and Reg CF offerings. It’s a relatively new industry in the US and the process has become more involved, but we’re very confident that with our top-notch legal team – and the $12 million SEC-qualified offerings already on our platform from our $67.6M AUM portfolio – we can navigate the challenges ahead.
