Explanation of responses 3 footnotes

Footnote F1

Represents common units ("CROP Units") of Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP ("the Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership of which Cottonwood Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"), is the sole member of the sole general partner. CROP Units may be redeemed for cash equal to the net asset value ("NAV") per share, determined pursuant to valuation procedures adopted by the Issuer's board of directors, of one share of the Issuer's Class I common stock or, at the Issuer's election, for shares of the Issuer's Class I common stock on a one-for-one basis. The CROP Units have no expiration date.

Footnote F2

The Reporting Person received CROP Units from the Operating Partnership as consideration for his ownership interest in APT Cowork, LLC ("APT"). The transaction was completed pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of May 20, 2026 and effective as of April 1, 2026, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in APT for $1.1 million, inclusive of net working capital. The purchase price was based on a third-party opinion of value and the transaction was approved in advance by the Issuer's conflicts committee in the manner contemplated by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The issuance of the CROP Units was at the most recently determined NAV per unit of the Operating Partnership at the time the transaction was approved ($11.3615 as of February 28, 2026) and the consideration was allocated to the members consistent with their capital contributions.

Footnote F3
