Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Reven Housing REIT, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of Memphis 21 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statement.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses that is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of Memphis 21 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Other Matters
As described in Note 2, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Memphis 21 Homes. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

1. DESCRIPTION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY
On November 7, 2014, Reven Housing REIT, Inc. (“Reven Housing REIT “ or the “Company”), through a wholly owned subsidiary, Reven Housing Tennessee, LLC, closed on the acquisition of 21 properties (“Memphis 21 Homes”) located in the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area, pursuant to that certain Single Family Homes Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 9, 2014 with Gregory Griffin, an individual (the “Seller”). The Seller does not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.
The contract purchase price for the 21 acquired properties was $1,724,909, exclusive of closing costs. The 21 acquired properties are mostly three-bedroom, two bath homes. Upon acquisition, all properties were leased on short term leases of primarily one year in duration. The majority of the 21 homes purchases had not been leased during the entire period covered by the audited and unaudited statement provided, as many of these homes were vacant, owner occupied or were in the process of being refurbished prior to the acquisition by Reven Housing REIT, Inc.
Reven Housing REIT is a Maryland corporation formed to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of single family homes located throughout the United States.
Number of bedrooms and baths, and any other measures used to describe the real estate included in these notes to the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses are presented on an unaudited basis.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying audited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses has been prepared to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Memphis 21 Homes is not a legal entity and the accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain revenues and expenses have been excluded on the basis that they may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses Reven Housing REIT expects to incur in the future operations of Memphis 21 Homes. Excluded items include interest, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the future operations of Memphis 21 Homes.
The accompanying unaudited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 8-K and Article 3-14 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the unaudited interim period presented includes all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such period. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
An audited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 is being presented for the most recent fiscal year available instead of the two most recent years based on the following factors: (i) Memphis 21 Homes was acquired from an unaffiliated party and (ii) based on due diligence of Memphis 21 Homes by Reven Housing REIT, management is not aware of any material factors relating to Memphis 21 Homes that would cause this financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition

Use of Estimates
