Investment Strategy and Target Assets
3
INVESTMENT STRATEGY TARGET INVESTMENTS
• Focus on generating stable and attractive cash flows
while preserving capital base
– Primarily direct-originated investments funding property
acquisition, refinancing, recapitalization, restructuring and
repositioning purposes with high credit-quality owners
– Asset-by-asset portfolio construction focused on property
and local market fundamentals and relative value across
property types and markets, as well as within the capital
structure
• Actively participate in primary and secondary markets(1)
Primary target investments
• Senior floating rate commercial real estate loans
• Transitional loans on a variety of property types located in
primary and secondary markets in the U.S.
• Generally sized between $25 million and $150 million
• Stabilized LTV generally ranging from 55% to 70%(2)
• Loan yields generally ranging from LIBOR + 4.00% to
5.50%
Secondary target investments
• Subordinated interests (or B-notes), mezzanine loans,
debt-like preferred equity and real estate-related
securities
1) Primary markets are defined as the top 5 MSAs. Secondary markets are defined as MSAs 6 and above.
2) Except as otherwise indicated in this presentation, stabilized loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is calculated as the fully funded loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan),
including all contractually provided for future fundings, divided by the as stabilized value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) set forth in the original appraisal. As stabilized value may be based
on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased
tenant occupancies.

Third Quarter 2017 Earnings Summary
• Loan closings weighted towards the end of the third quarter
• Dividend of $0.32 driven by core earnings but also taxable income recognized in the quarter
• Taxable income was $14.3 million, or $0.33 per common share and included $2.6 million of amortization of
gain related to the formation transaction that occurred concurrent with our IPO
– Estimate approximately $15 million of taxable accretion to be recognized through the end of 2019(2)
• Expect taxable income over the next 2-3 years, on a declining basis, to be higher than core earnings as a result
of the taxable accretion
• Expect fourth quarter 2017 dividend in range of $0.38-$0.40 per share(3)

Core Earnings Per Share $0.28
1) Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses,
realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock). We believe the presentation of Core Earnings provides
investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs.
2) The timing of the tax accretion may change depending on prepayments, future fundings, loan extensions, credit defaults, and other factors.
3) Anticipated dividend is subject to the discretion and approval of our Board of Directors. Going forward, we do not expect to provide guidance on dividends or other financial results.

1) The Company has calculated earnings per share only for the period common stock was outstanding, referred to as the post-formation period. The Company has defined the post-formation period to be
the period from the date the Company commenced operations as a publicly traded company on June 28, 2017 through September 30, 2017, or 95 days of activity. Earnings per share is calculated by
dividing the net income for the post-formation period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the post-formation period.
