EXPLANATORY NOTE

This filing combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017, of Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, and AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership. Where it is important to distinguish between the two entities, we refer to them specifically. Otherwise, references to “we,” “us” or “our” mean, collectively, Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their consolidated entities.

Aimco, a Maryland corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Aimco, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the general and special limited partner of, and as of September 30, 2017, owned a 95.5% ownership interest in the common partnership units of, the Aimco Operating Partnership. The remaining 4.5% interest is owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Aimco Operating Partnership, Aimco has exclusive control of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Aimco Operating Partnership holds all of Aimco’s assets and manages the daily operations of Aimco’s business. Pursuant to the Aimco Operating Partnership agreement, Aimco is required to contribute to the Aimco Operating Partnership any assets, which it may acquire including all proceeds from the offerings of its securities. In exchange for the contribution of these assets, Aimco receives additional interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership with similar terms (e.g., if Aimco contributes proceeds of a stock offering, Aimco receives partnership units with terms substantially similar to the stock issued by Aimco).

We believe combining the periodic reports of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

• We present our business as a whole, in the same manner our management views and operates the business;

• We eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership; and

• We save time and cost through the preparation of a single combined report rather than two separate reports.

We operate Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership as one enterprise, the management of Aimco directs the management and operations of the Aimco Operating Partnership, and the members of the Board of Directors of Aimco are identical to those of the Aimco Operating Partnership.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in the context of how Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. Aimco has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Also, Aimco is a corporation that issues publicly traded equity from time to time, whereas the Aimco Operating Partnership is a partnership that has no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from stock offerings by Aimco, which are contributed to the Aimco Operating Partnership in exchange for additional limited partnership interests (of a similar type and in an amount equal to the shares of stock sold in the offering), the Aimco Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by its business. These sources include the Aimco Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including additional partnership units, and proceeds received from the sale of apartment communities.

Equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Aimco and those of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership held by entities other than Aimco, which we refer to as OP Units, are classified within partners’ capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Aimco’s financial statements.

To help investors understand the differences between Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership, this report provides: separate consolidated financial statements for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes discrete information related to each entity, where appropriate.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY

AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. Aimco is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994, to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment and limited development of quality apartment communities located in the largest markets in the United States.

Aimco, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, owns a majority of the ownership interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco conducts all of its business and owns all of its assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as OP Units. OP Units include common partnership units and high performance partnership units, which we refer to as common OP Units, as well as partnership preferred units, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2017, after eliminations for units held by consolidated subsidiaries, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 164,459,517 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2017, Aimco owned 157,023,314 of the common partnership units (95.5% of the common partnership units and equivalents) of the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco had outstanding an equal number of shares of its Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

As of September 30, 2017, we owned an equity interest in141apartment communities with 39,184 apartment homes in our real estate portfolio. Our Real Estate portfolio, which comprises our reportable segment, is diversified by both price point and geography and consists primarily of market rate apartment communities in which we own a substantial interest. We consolidated 137 of these apartment communities with 39,042 apartment homes.

As of September 30, 2017, we also owned nominal ownership positions in partnerships holding 46 low-income housing tax credit apartment communities with 6,898 apartment homes. We provide services to these partnerships and receive fees and other payments in return. Our relationship with these partnerships is different than real estate ownership and is better described as an asset management business, or Asset Management. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we are required to consolidate partnerships owning an aggregate of 39 apartment communities with 6,211 apartment homes.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership at December 31, 2016, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Effective in 2017, we modified our condensed consolidated balance sheets to present the assets and liabilities of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business separately from those amounts relating to our Real Estate portfolio. We have similarly modified our condensed consolidated statements of operations to present separately the rental and other property

11

revenues and property operating expenses of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business. We have reclassified these items in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities or net income amounts.

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, including partnerships served by our Asset Management business (see note Note 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Temporary Equity and Partners’ Capital

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred OP Units from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017. The Preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holders’ option (as further discussed in Note 5), and therefore are presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands).

On June 30, 2017, we reacquired the 47% noncontrolling limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture, as further discussed in Note 3. As a result of this transaction we recorded the consideration paid in excess of the noncontrolling interest in

12

the consolidated real estate partnership of $155.6 million as a reduction of Aimco’s additional paid-in capital and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s partners capital.

Please refer to the Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year heading below, for further discussion of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

A separate reconciliation of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and total partners’ capital for the Aimco Operating Partnership is not presented as these amounts are identical to the corresponding noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and total equity for Aimco, which are presented above.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

Effective April 1, 2017, we elected to adopt early the new accounting standard that revised the GAAP definition of a business. Under the new standard we expect apartment communities will no longer be considered businesses in most acquisitions and dispositions. Under the new standard, transaction costs incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operations will be capitalized as a cost of the acquisition. Additionally, we will no longer allocate goodwill to apartment communities for purposes of calculating gains or losses upon sale. We have applied the new standard prospectively to transactions occurring after April 1, 2017. This standard did not have a significant effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a new standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intercompany transfers of assets. Previously, the recognition within the statement of operations of income tax expense or benefit resulting from an intercompany transfer of assets did not occur until the assets affect GAAP income or loss, for example, through depreciation, impairment or upon the sale of the asset to a third party. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes the income tax expense or benefit from an intercompany transfer of assets when the transfer occurs. We have applied this change on a modified retrospective basis and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $65.7 million as of January 1, 2017, representing accumulated unrecognized tax expense from intercompany transfers between the Aimco Operating Partnership and TRS entities. Such amounts were included in other assets within our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016.

Also effective January 1, 2017, we adopted guidance that simplifies the accounting for share-based compensation. Under prior practice, tax benefits in excess of those associated with compensation cost recognized in accordance with GAAP, or windfalls, were recorded in equity and tax deficiencies were recorded in equity until previous windfalls had been recouped and then recognized

13

in earnings. Under the new guidance, all of the tax effects related to share-based compensation are recognized through earnings. This guidance is applied to all windfalls and tax deficiencies resulting from settlements occurring after January 1, 2017. The new guidance also requires windfalls to be recorded in the period the related transaction triggering tax consequences, such as an exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares, occurs. This change in timing of recognition has been applied on a modified retrospective basis. We did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings on the date of adoption as there were no accumulated windfalls recorded in equity. Compared to prior periods, we may experience incremental volatility in income tax benefit or expense resulting from the recognition in earnings of windfall benefits or deficiencies upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the FASB issued new standards that affect accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and that are effective for us on January 1, 2018. The FASB also issued a new standard on lease accounting, which is effective for Aimco on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We have substantially completed our evaluation of these standards and do not expect our adoption will have a significant effect on the timing or amount of revenue or lease income we recognize on an ongoing basis. However, in circumstances where we are a lessee, primarily in a limited population of ground leases and leases of corporate office space, we will be required to recognize right of use assets and related lease liabilities within our consolidated balance sheets. We expect the timing and amount of expense for these leases will remain unchanged unless modified prior to their contractual termination dates.

Note 3 — Significant Transactions, Dispositions of Apartment Communities and Assets Held for Sale

Reacquisition of Limited Partner Interest in Palazzo Joint Venture and Term Loan

On June 30, 2017, we reacquired for $451.5 million, the 47% noncontrolling limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture, which owns three communities with a total of 1,382 apartment homes located in Los Angeles, California. We assumed $140.5 million of the noncontrolling interest partner’s share of existing non-recourse property-level debt and paid $311.0 million in cash consideration, which was funded by short-term borrowings we expect to repay using proceeds from apartment community sales. We now own all of the interests in the Palazzo joint venture and its underlying apartment communities. Prior to the transaction, we consolidated into our financial statements the joint venture and underlying apartment communities, therefore this transaction has been accounted for as an equity transaction. In accordance with GAAP, we recognized the $155.6 million of consideration paid in excess of the noncontrolling interest balance as a reduction of additional paid-in capital within Aimco’s equity and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s partners capital.

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a second amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement continues our existing $600.0 million revolving loan facility with consistent terms and provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which we used to fund a portion of the Palazzo reacquisition. The term loan matures on June 30, 2018, includes a one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, and currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.35%. We paid lender and other fees of $1.0 million in connection with the term loan, which have been deferred and will be recognized as additional interest over the duration of the term loan.

Dispositions of Apartment Communities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partnerships served by the Asset Management business sold two apartment communities with a total of 252 apartment homes, resulting in gains of $2.6 million, and related tax expense of $0.9 million.

We are currently marketing for sale certain apartment communities that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, the consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business periodically evaluates for sale certain of their apartment communities. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate whether any consolidated apartment communities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2017, no apartment communities were classified as held for sale.

Napico Disposition

In 2012, we sold the Napico business. The transaction was primarily seller-financed, and the associated notes were scheduled to be repaid from the operation and liquidation of the Napico business and were collateralized by the buyer’s interests in the portfolio. In 2016, the buyer paid the two seller-financed notes in full. At that time we maintained continuing involvement related to preexisting guarantees of property-level debt for two communities. In accordance with GAAP, we deferred recognition of the sale of these communities until the guarantees were released. In September 2017, the owner refinanced the final mortgage, resulting

14

in the release of our remaining guarantee, which allowed us to transfer our nominal general partner interest in the property to the buyer.

Accordingly, we reduced other assets and accrued liabilities and other by $34.5 million and $38.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain of $7.1 million, net of tax, in other, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our redevelopment, development and capital improvement activities, we have entered into various construction-related contracts and we have made commitments to complete redevelopment of certain apartment communities, pursuant to financing or other arrangements. As of September 30, 2017, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $96.2 million, most of which we expect to incur during the next 12 months.

We enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our apartment communities. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Tax Credit Arrangements

For various consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business, we are required to manage the partnerships and related apartment communities in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to historic and low-income housing tax credit syndication arrangements. In some instances, noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized by the limited partners in these partnerships and would require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for the tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to eight years. We do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.

Income Taxes

In 2014, the Internal Revenue Service initiated an audit of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2011 and 2012 tax years. We do not believe the audit will have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations.

Legal Matters

In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by our general liability insurance program, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Limited Partnerships

In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

La Jolla Cove Litigation

We are a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a group of disappointed buyers that contend we interfered with their allegedly superior right to acquire the La Jolla Cove property. The case, pending in state court in California, is in fact discovery at this stage. The case is set for jury trial in February 2018.  Although the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, we do not believe its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental

Various federal, state and local laws subject apartment community owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present in the land or buildings of an apartment community. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was

15

responsible for, the presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remediate properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at such apartment communities as well as the ability to sell or finance such apartment communities. In addition, governmental agencies may bring claims for costs associated with investigation and remediation actions. Moreover, private plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities related to the alleged presence of hazardous materials. In addition to potential environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current apartment communities, we may also be responsible for such liabilities or costs associated with communities we acquire or manage in the future, or apartment communities we no longer own or operate.

We are engaged in discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, regarding contaminated groundwater in a residential area in the vicinity of an Indiana apartment community that has not been owned by us since 2008. The contamination allegedly derives from a dry cleaner that operated on our former property, prior to our ownership. We have undertaken a voluntary remediation of the dry cleaner contamination under IDEM’s oversight, and in previous years accrued our share of the then-estimated cleanup and abatement costs. In 2016, EPA listed our former community and a number of residential communities in the vicinity on the National Priorities List, or NPL (i.e. as a Superfund site), and IDEM has formally sought to terminate us from the voluntary remediation program. We have filed a formal appeal of the EPA listing and the IDEM termination of us from the voluntary remediation program. Although the outcome of these processes are uncertain, we do not expect their resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We also have been contacted by regulators and the current owner of a property in Lake Tahoe regarding environmental issues allegedly stemming from the historic operation of a dry cleaner. An entity owned by us was the former general partner of a now-dissolved partnership that previously owned a site that was used for dry cleaning. That entity and the current property owner have been remediating the dry cleaner site since 2009, under the oversight of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, or Lahontan. In 2016, Lahontan sent us, the current property owner, and a former operator of the dry cleaner drafts of a proposed cleanup and abatement order that, if entered as drafted, would have required all three parties to perform additional groundwater investigation and corrective actions with respect to onsite and offsite contamination. After review of comments from us, Lahontan issued a final order in May 2017. The final order adds one more potentially-responsible party, acknowledges that there may be additional responsible parties, and narrows (as compared to earlier drafts) the scope of work. We are appealing the final order while simultaneously complying with it. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect its resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate certain potentially hazardous materials may be conditional asset retirement obligations, as defined in GAAP. Except in limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or apartment community casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2017, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 5 — Earnings per Share and Unit

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership calculate basic earnings per common share and basic earnings per common unit based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units and participating securities outstanding, and calculate diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit taking into consideration dilutive common stock and common partnership unit equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period.

Our common stock and common partnership unit equivalents include options to purchase shares of Common Stock, which, if exercised, would result in Aimco’s issuance of additional shares and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s issuance to Aimco of additional common partnership units equal to the number of shares purchased under the options. These equivalents also include unvested total shareholder return-based restricted stock and unit awards that do not meet the definition of participating securities, which would result in an increase in the number of common shares and common partnership units outstanding equal to the number of shares that vest. The effect of these securities was dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and accordingly has been included in the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and unit during these periods.

Our time-based restricted stock awards receive dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units prior to vesting. These dividends are not forfeited in the event that the restricted stock does not vest. Therefore, the unvested shares and units related to these awards are participating securities. The effect of participating securities is included in basic and diluted earnings per share and unit computations using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings. There were 0.2 million unvested participating shares and units at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

16

The Aimco Operating Partnership has various classes of preferred OP Units, which may be redeemed at the holders’ option. The Aimco Operating Partnership may redeem these units for cash, or at its option, shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2017, these preferred OP Units were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.3 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, we have excluded these securities from earnings per share and unit computations and we expect to exclude them in future periods.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investments in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which we classify as available for sale, or AFS, securities, and our interest rate swaps, both of which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy.

Our investments classified as AFS are presented within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We hold several positions in the securitization trust that pay interest currently and we also hold the first loss position in the securitization trust, which accrues interest over the term of the investment. We are accreting the discount to the $100.9 million face value of the investments into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the investments, which, as of September 30, 2017, was approximately 3.7 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $76.4 million and $72.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We estimated the fair value of these investments to be $79.9 million and $76.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

We estimate the fair value of these investments using an income and market approach primarily with observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The fair value of the positions that pay interest currently typically moves in an inverse relationship with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the first loss position is primarily correlated to collateral quality and demand for similar subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Certain consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the partnerships’ variable-rate debt by effectively converting the interest on variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. We estimate the fair value of interest rate swaps using an income approach with primarily observable inputs including information regarding the hedged variable cash flows and forward yield curves relating to the variable interest rates on which the hedged cash flows are based.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016
Beginning balance	$	(3,175	)	$	(4,938	)
Realized (unrealized) losses included in interest expense	73			(33		)
Realized losses on derecognition of interest rate swaps included in earnings	273			—
Losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss	1,076			1,208
Unrealized losses included in equity and partners’ capital	(280		)	(748		)
Ending balance	$	(2,033	)	$	(4,511	)

Realized losses on derecognition of interest rate swaps included in earnings represents previously unrealized losses related to an interest rate swap to which the partnership owning the final Napico property was a party. Upon derecognition of the assets and liabilities related to the final property, we also wrote off the accumulated other comprehensive income related to this swap, which was included in the gain on derecognition included in other, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Please refer to Note 3 for further discussion.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the remaining interest rate swaps, exclusive of the derecognized Napico interest rate swap, had aggregate notional amounts of $22.1 million and $22.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, these swaps had a weighted average remaining term of 6.2 years. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps is presented within accrued liabilities and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and

17

we recognize any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity and partners’ capital to the extent of their effectiveness.

If the forward rates at September 30, 2017 remain constant, we estimate that during the next 12 months, we would reclassify approximately $0.5 million of the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. If market interest rates increase above the 3.26% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps the consolidated partnerships will benefit from net cash payments due from the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.

Fair Value Disclosures

We believe that the carrying values of the consolidated amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates their fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The estimated fair value of total indebtedness associated with our Real Estate portfolio was approximately $4.2 billion and $3.7 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, as compared to carrying amounts of $4.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. The carrying values of the non-recourse property debt of the consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business approximated its estimated fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We estimate the fair value of debt using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, contractual interest rates, remaining periods to maturity, collateral quality and loan to value ratios on similarly encumbered assets within our portfolio. We classify the fair value of debt within Level 3 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate their fair values.

Note 7 — Business Segments

In 2017, we revised the information regularly reviewed by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to assess our operating performance. Apartment communities are classified as either part of our Real Estate portfolio or those owned through partnerships served by our Asset Management business.

Our Real Estate portfolio consisted of 141 apartment communities with 39,184 apartment homes at September 30, 2017. This portfolio is diversified by both price point and geography and consists primarily of market rate apartment communities.

Our chief operating decision maker uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our apartment communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for consolidated apartment communities we own and manage. As of September 30, 2017, for segment performance evaluation, our Real Estate segment included 137 consolidated apartment communities with 39,042 apartment homes and excluded four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate.

As discussed in Note 1, as of September 30, 2017, through our Asset Management business we also owned nominal ownership positions in consolidated partnerships for which we provide asset management services. These partnerships own 46 low-income housing tax credit apartment communities with 6,898 apartment homes. Neither the results of operations, nor the assets of these partnerships and apartment communities are quantitatively material; therefore, we have one reportable segment, Real Estate. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the segment assets as of December 31, 2016, shown below have been revised to reflect the change in our reportable segments.

The following tables present the revenues, net operating income and income before gain on dispositions of our Real Estate segment on a proportionate basis (excluding amounts related to apartment communities sold) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Note 8 — Variable Interest Entities

Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, which is a variable interest entity, or VIE, for which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and the business activities of the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

All of the VIEs we consolidate own interests in one or more apartment communities. VIEs that own apartment communities we classify as part of our Real Estate segment are typically structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the communities. We are the primary beneficiary in the limited partnerships in which we are the sole decision maker and have a substantial economic interest.

All of the partnerships served by our Asset Management business own interests in low-income housing tax credit apartment communities that are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and tax deductions to their partners and are VIEs. We hold a nominal ownership position in these partnerships, generally one percent or less. As general partner in these partnerships, we are the sole decision maker and we receive fees and other payments in return for the asset management and other services we provide and thus share in the economics of the partnerships, and as such, we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships. The table below summarizes information regarding VIEs consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding: our ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rate and property operating results; the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, redevelopments and developments; our ability to meet budgeted costs and timelines, and achieve budgeted rental rates related to our redevelopment and development investments; expectations regarding sales of our apartment communities and the use of proceeds thereof; and our ability to comply with debt covenants, including financial coverage ratios.

Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation:

• Real estate and operating risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in the markets in which we operate and competition for residents in such markets; national and local economic conditions, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; the amount, location and quality of competitive new housing supply; the timing of acquisitions, dispositions, redevelopments and developments; and changes in operating costs, including energy costs;

• Financing risks, including the availability and cost of capital markets financing and the risk that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest and the risk that our earnings may not be sufficient to maintain compliance with debt covenants;

• Insurance risks, including the cost of insurance and natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; and

• Legal and regulatory risks, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of apartment communities presently or previously owned by us.

In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.

Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of Apartment Investment and Management Company’s and AIMCO Properties, L.P.’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As used herein and except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Apartment Investment and Management Company (which we refer to as Aimco), AIMCO Properties, L.P. (which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership) and their consolidated entities, collectively.

Executive Overview

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership are focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment and limited development of quality apartment communities located in the largest markets in the United States. Our business activities are defined by a commitment to our core values of integrity, respect, collaboration, performance and a focus on our customers. These values and our corporate mission, “to consistently provide quality apartment homes in a respectful environment delivered by a team of people who care,” shape our culture. In all our interactions with residents, team members, business partners, lenders and equity holders, we aim to be the best owner and operator of apartment communities and an outstanding corporate citizen.

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our equity holders. We measure our total return using growth in Economic Income and our current return using Adjusted Funds From Operations (each of which are defined under the Non-GAAP Measures heading below). Our business plan to achieve this principal financial objective is to:

• operate our portfolio of desirable apartment homes with valued amenities, with a high level of focus on customer selection and customer satisfaction, and in an efficient manner that realizes the benefits of our corporate systems and local management expertise;

23

• improve our portfolio of apartment communities, which is diversified both by geography and price point, and which averages “B/B+” in quality (defined under the Portfolio Management heading below) by selling apartment communities with lower projected free cash flow returns and investing the proceeds from such sales in prospects with higher projected free cash flow returns than expected from the communities sold, such as property upgrades, redevelopment, development and selective acquisitions;

• use financial leverage primarily in the form of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity, a combination which reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk and which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates; and

• emphasize a collaborative, respectful, and performance-oriented culture with high team engagement.

Our business is organized around our strategic areas of focus: property operations; redevelopment/development; portfolio management; balance sheet; and culture.

The results from the execution of our business plan during the three months ended September 30, 2017, are further described below.

Net income attributable to common stockholders per common share increased by $0.04 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to increased contribution from property net operating income more fully described below, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.

Pro forma FFO per share increased$0.08, or 14.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. The primary driver of this increase was property net operating income growth of $0.05, consisting of:

• $0.03 from Same Store property net operating income growth of 4.5%, driven primarily by a 2.8% increase in revenue and a 1.1% reduction in expenses;

• $0.04 from the lease-up over the last 12 months of 930 renovated homes at redevelopment communities and completion of the lease-up of One Canal in Boston, Massachusetts and Indigo in Redwood City, California; less

• $0.02 in property net operating income from apartment communities sold in 2016.

Lower general and administrative expenses, lower interest rates, higher tax benefits, and various other factors contributed an additional $0.03 to Pro Forma FFO.

The amounts above exclude property net operating income from the reacquisition of the 47% limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture, which was largely offset by higher interest expense related to temporary borrowings used to fund the purchase.

The $0.08 increase year-over-year in Pro forma FFO per share plus $0.01 in lower capital replacement spending increased AFFO per share by $0.09, or 20.0%.

Pro Forma FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures that are defined and reconciled under the Non-GAAP Measures heading.

Property Operations

We own and operate a portfolio of apartment communities diversified by both geography and price point. At September 30, 2017, our Real Estate portfolio included141predominantly market rate apartment communities with39,184apartment homes in which we held an average ownership of approximately99%.

Our property operations team delivered solid results for our Real Estate portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Highlights for the quarter include:

• Same Store net operating income increased year-over-year by 4.5%, consisting of revenue growth of 2.8% and expense reduction of 1.1%; and

• Same Store rent increases on renewals and new leases averaged 4.5% and 1.4%, respectively, for a weighted average increase of 3.0%.

24

Redevelopment/Development

Redevelopment/Development is our second line of business. Within our Real Estate portfolio, we invest in the redevelopment of apartment communities when we believe the investment will yield risk-adjusted returns in excess of those expected from the apartment communities sold in paired trades to fund the redevelopment.

We have undertaken a range of redevelopments, including those in which buildings or exteriors are renovated without the need to vacate apartment homes; those in which significant renovation of apartment homes may be accomplished upon lease expiration and turnover; and those in which an entire building or community is vacated. We execute our redevelopments using a phased approach, in which we renovate portions of an apartment community in stages. Redevelopment work may include seeking entitlements from local governments, which enhance the value of our existing portfolio by increasing density, that is, the right to add apartment homes to a site. We expect to create value equal to 25% to 35% of our investment in redevelopment.

We favor redevelopment because it permits adjustment of the scope and timing of spending to align with changing market conditions.

We also undertake ground-up development when warranted by risk-adjusted investment returns, either directly in connection with the redevelopment of an existing apartment community or, on a more limited basis, at a new location. In such cases, we may rely on a third-party developer with expertise in the local market and with contracts that limit our exposure to construction risk.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we invested $33.3 million primarily in our ongoing redevelopments and continued to lease redeveloped apartment homes at a pace consistent with our expectations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we completed construction on the third tower of Park Towne Place in Center City, Philadelphia. As of September 30, 2017, this tower was 74% leased at rates consistent with underwriting. We expect this tower to be more than 90% leased by year-end, as are the first two towers redeveloped at the community.

In the past three years, we have leased more than 1,100 redeveloped apartment homes in Center City, Philadelphia. Based on these results, we decided to proceed with a $40.0 million redevelopment of the fourth and final tower at Park Towne Place. De-leasing is underway and construction is scheduled to commence by year end.

In 2014, we acquired Eastpointe, a “C” property located in Boulder, Colorado. The site is two miles from the new Google campus and is across the street from Ball Aerospace’s Technology Campus and Foothills Hospital. Building in Boulder is highly regulated and new supply is limited, notwithstanding higher enrollment at the University of Colorado and increased employment generally. Over the past two years, we have planned and entitled a new $117.0 million, 226 apartment home community to be known as Parc Mosaic. De-leasing of Eastpointe is now underway and construction of Parc Mosaic is scheduled to commence by year end.

Inclusive of these two new projects, our total estimated net investment in redevelopment/development is $710.4 million, with a projected weighted average net operating income yield on these investments of 6.1%, assuming untrended rents. Of this total, $481.4 million has been funded.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 278 apartment homes at our redevelopment and acquisition communities.

In measuring lease-up exposure related to redevelopment activities, we consider: (a) apartments that have been de-leased in preparation for construction; (b) apartments currently under construction; and (c) apartments for which construction is complete and the apartment home is ready for occupancy. In each case, lease-up exposure is measured as the number of homes to be leased for the apartment community to achieve 95% occupancy.

As of September 30, 2017, our lease-up exposure at active redevelopment projects included approximately 360 apartment homes. Of these, 231 related to apartments that have been or will be de-leased for redevelopment of the final tower at Park Towne Place, 33 related to apartment homes under construction, and 103 related to homes for which construction is complete and the homes are available for occupancy.

Please see below under the Liquidity and Capital Resources – Redevelopment /Development heading for additional information regarding our redevelopment and development investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Portfolio Management

Our portfolio strategy seeks predictable rent growth from a portfolio of apartment communities that is diversified across “A,” “B” and “C+” price points, averaging “B/B+” in quality, and that is also diversified across the largest markets in the United States.

25

We measure the quality of apartment communities in our Real Estate portfolio based on average rents of our apartment homes compared to local market average rents as reported by a third-party provider of commercial real estate performance and analysis. Under this rating system, we classify as “A” quality apartment communities those earning rents greater than 125% of the local market average, as “B” quality apartment communities those earning rents between 90% and 125% of the local market average; “C+” quality apartment communities are those earning rents greater than $1,100 per month, but lower than 90% of the local market average; and “C” quality apartment communities are those earning rents less than $1,100 per month and lower than 90% of the local market average. We classify as “B/B+” quality a portfolio that on average earns rents between 100% and 125% of the local market average rents where the portfolio is located. Although some companies and analysts within the multifamily real estate industry use apartment community quality ratings of “A,” “B” and “C,” some of which are tied to local market rent averages, the metrics used to classify apartment community quality as well as the timing for which local market rents are calculated may vary from company to company. Accordingly, our rating system for measuring apartment community quality is neither broadly nor consistently used in the multifamily real estate industry.

As part of our portfolio strategy, we seek to sell each year up to 10% of the apartment communities in our portfolio and to reinvest the proceeds from such sales in uses such as property upgrades, redevelopment of communities in its current portfolio, occasional development of new communities, and selective acquisitions of apartment communities with higher projected free cash flow returns than expected from the communities sold to fund the activity. Through this disciplined approach to capital recycling, we have significantly increased the quality and expected growth rate of its portfolio.

(1) Represents average monthly rental and other property revenues divided by the number of occupied apartment homes multiplied by our ownership interest in the apartment community as of the end of the current period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, average revenue per Aimco apartment home for our Real Estate portfolio was $2,075, a 6% increase compared to three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is due to year-over-year growth in Same Store revenue as well as our reacquisition of the 47% limited partnership interest in the Palazzo joint venture, lease-up of redevelopment and acquisition apartment communities, and the sale of apartment communities with average monthly revenues per Aimco apartment home lower than those of the retained portfolio.

As we execute our portfolio strategy, we expect to increase average revenue per Aimco apartment home for our Real Estate portfolio at a rate greater than market rent growth; to increase free cash flow margins; and to maintain sufficient geographic and price point diversification to limit volatility and concentration risk.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

We target net leverage of $3.8 billion. Our leverage is currently above this target as the second quarter reacquisition of the 47% limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture was temporarily funded with debt. We are on track with plans to sell apartment communities in Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey to reduce leverage to our $3.8 billion target.

Our leverage includes our share of long-term, non-recourse property debt secured by apartment communities in our Real Estate portfolio, our one-year term loan, outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and outstanding preferred equity. In our calculation of leverage, we exclude non-recourse property debt obligations of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business, as these are not our obligations and they have limited effect on the amount of fees and other amounts we expect to receive in our role as asset manager for these partnerships.

Our leverage strategy seeks to increase financial returns while using leverage with appropriate caution. We target the ratio of Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA to be below 7.0x and we target the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends to be greater than 2.5x. We also focus on the ratios of Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense.

Proportionate Debt, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Interest Expense, as used in these ratios, are non-GAAP financial measures, which are further discussed and reconciled under the Non-GAAP Measures – Leverage Ratios heading. Preferred Equity represents

26

Aimco’s preferred stock and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units. Our leverage ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2017 are presented below:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDA	6.9x
Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA	7.3x
Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense	3.4x
Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends	3.1x

We calculate our leverage ratios based on the most recent three month amounts, annualized. We expect improvement in leverage metrics from earnings growth, primarily due to increasing contribution from redevelopment apartment communities and reduction in debt balances due to regularly scheduled debt amortization and apartment community sales, partially offset by the loss of earnings from sold communities. We expect that these activities will reduce our Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA ratios by year-end to approximately 6.2x and 6.6x, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we closed or rate locked five non-recourse, fixed-rate, property loans totaling $297.3 million. On a weighted average basis, these loans have a 9.6 year term and an interest rate of 3.43%, 125 basis points more than the corresponding Treasury rates at the time of pricing.

The net effect of 2017 property debt refinancing activities has been to lower our weighted average fixed interest rates by about 10 basis points to 4.75%, generating prospective annual interest savings of approximately $3.0 million.

As of September 30, 2017, we held unencumbered apartment communities with an estimated fair value of approximately $1.8 billion, an increase of approximately12% from December 31, 2016.

Two credit rating agencies rate our creditworthiness using different methodologies and ratios for assessing our credit, and both have rated our credit and outlook as BBB- (stable), an investment grade rating. Although some of the ratios they use are similar to those we use to measure our leverage, there are differences in our methods of calculation and therefore our leverage ratios disclosed above may not be indicative of the ratios that may be calculated by these agencies.

Culture

Our culture is the key to our success. Our emphasis on a collaborative, respectful, and performance-oriented culture is what enables the continuing transformation of the Aimco business. In April 2017, Aimco was recognized by the Denver Post as a Top Work Place. We are one of only a dozen Colorado companies of all sizes who have earned this designation for five consecutive years.

Key Financial Indicators

The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our operating performance are Economic Income, our measure of total return, and Adjusted Funds From Operations, our measure of current return. In addition to these indicators, we evaluate our operating performance and financial condition using: Pro forma Funds From Operations; Free Cash Flow, or FCF, capitalization rate; net operating income, or NOI, capitalization rate; same store property operating results; average revenue per Aimco apartment home; financial coverage ratios; and net leverage. Certain of these financial indicators are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined, further described, and for certain of the measures, reconciled to comparable GAAP-based measures, under the Non-GAAP Measures heading.

Results of Operations

Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our apartment communities, the supply of and demand for apartments influences our operating results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our apartment communities and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment communities affect our operating results.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.

27

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016

Net income attributable to Aimco increased by $4.1 million and decreased by $214.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the September 30, 2016 comparable periods. Net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership increased by $4.8 million and decreased by $224.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the September 30, 2016 comparable periods. The increase in income for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership for the three months ended was due to a variety of factors, including improved operating results. The decrease in income for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership for the nine months ended was primarily due to lower gains on disposition of real estate.

The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting the results of operations of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in more detail.

Property Operations

As described under the preceding Executive Overview heading, our Real Estate segment consists primarily of market rate apartment communities in which we hold a substantial equity ownership interest.

We use proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our apartment communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for consolidated apartment communities we manage. Accordingly, the results of operations of our Real Estate segment discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis and exclude the results of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate.

We do not include property management revenues, offsite costs associated with property management or casualty-related amounts in our assessment of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not allocated to our segment results discussed below. Refer to Note 7 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further discussion regarding our reportable segment, including a reconciliation of these proportionate amounts to the corresponding amounts in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate Proportionate Property Net Operating Income

We classify apartment communities within our Real Estate segment as Same Store and those Outside of Same Store. Same Store apartment communities are those that have reached a stabilized level of operations as of January 1, 2016 and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior periods, and are not expected to be sold within 12 months. The communities Outside of Same Store are those that do not meet the Same Store definition, including, but not limited to: redevelopment and development apartment communities, which are those currently under construction that have not achieved a stabilized level of operations and those that have been completed in recent years that had not achieved and maintained stabilized operations for both the current and comparable prior year; acquisition apartment communities, which are those we have acquired since the beginning of a two year comparable period; and communities that we expect to sell within twelve months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

As of September 30, 2017, as defined by our segment performance metrics, our Real Estate portfolio consisted of 92 Same Store apartment communities with 26,386 apartment homes and 45 communities Outside of Same Store with 12,656 apartment homes.

From December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017, on a net basis, our Same Store portfolio decreased by nine apartment communities and 4,507 apartment homes. These changes consisted of:

• the addition of three redeveloped apartment communities with 974 apartment homes that were classified as Same Store upon maintaining stabilized operations for the entirety of both periods presented;

• the addition of one acquired apartment community with 94 apartment homes that was classified as Same Store because we have now owned it for the entirety of both periods presented;

• the reduction of five apartment communities with 2,460 apartment homes at which we commenced redevelopment or development activities during the period; and

• the reduction of eight apartment communities with 3,115 apartment homes, which are expected to be sold within 12 months, but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

As of September 30, 2017, our communities Outside of Same Store comprised approximately one-third of our Real Estate portfolio, and included:

28

• 15 apartment communities with 6,375 apartment homes in redevelopment or development;

• 2 apartment communities with 578 apartment homes recently acquired;

• 4 apartment communities with 604 apartment homes owned that receive forms of government rental assistance;

• 14 apartment communities with 1,389 apartment homes that do not meet the definition of Same Store because they are either subject to agreements that limit the amount by which we may increase rents or have not reached or maintained a stabilized level of occupancy as of the beginning of a two year comparable period, often due to a casualty event; and

• 10 apartment communities with 3,710 apartment homes we expect to sell in the next twelve months but that do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Prior to 2017, seven of the communities Outside of Same Store were classified as part of our prior Affordable segment. The results of operations for these communities are reflected in both 2017 and 2016 comparable periods in the tables below.

Our Real Estate segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as presented below, are based on the apartment community populations as of September 30, 2017.

Total	$	158,662	$	141,842	$	16,820		11.9	%

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, our Real Estate segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased$16.8 million, or 11.9%.

Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $4.6 million, or 4.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $4.1 million, or 2.8%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average monthly revenues (approximately $50 per Aimco apartment home), comprised primarily of increases in rental rates and a 20 basis point increase in average daily occupancy. Rental rates on renewals transacted during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017, were 4.5%higher than expiring lease rates, and new lease rates were 1.4%higher than expiring lease rates, resulting in a weighted average increase of 3.0%. Same Store operating expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to decreases in insurance costs and controllable operating expenses. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility costs, real estate taxes and insurance, decreased by $0.4 million, or 2.0%.

The proportionate property net operating income of communities Outside of Same Store increased by $12.3 million, or 30.3%, due to:

• Indigo and One Canal, where our lease-ups were completed earlier in 2017, combined to contribute $5.5 million of incremental property net operating income during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016;

• redevelopment leasing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2017, which included 278 apartment homes and helped contribute to incremental redevelopment related property net operating income of $1.7 million as compared to the same period in 2016; and

• higher property net operating income of $5.1 million from other communities Outside of Same Store, including the effect of our increased ownership interest in the Palazzo communities from our June 2017 reacquisition of the 47% limited partner interest in the related joint venture.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our Real Estate segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased$39.7 million, or 9.5%

Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $13.6 million, or 4.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $14.0 million, or 3.3%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average revenues (approximately $62 per effective home), comprised primarily of increases in rental rates, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in average daily occupancy. Rental rates on renewals transacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 4.6%higher than expiring lease rates, and new lease rates were 0.9%higher than expiring lease rates, resulting in a weighted average increase of 2.7%. The increase in Same Store rental and other property revenues was partially offset by a $0.4 million, or 0.3%, increase in property operating expenses, primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, utility costs and repairs and maintenance, partially offset by lower personnel and insurance expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility costs, real estate taxes and insurance, decreased by $0.8 million, or 1.3%.

The proportionate property net operating income of our communities Outside of Same Store increased by $26.1 million, or 22.0%, due to:

• our completion of the lease-up of Indigo and One Canal earlier in 2017, which contributed to $15.2 million of incremental property net operating income compared to the same period in 2016;

• redevelopment leasing activities during the last 12 months, which included 930 apartment homes and helped contribute to incremental redevelopment related property net operating income of $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016; and

• higher property net operating income of $7.7 million from other communities Outside of Same Store, including the effect of our increased ownership interest in the Palazzo communities as described above.

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations

Operating income amounts not attributed to our Real Estate segment include offsite costs associated with property management, casualty losses, and the results of apartment communities sold, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our Real Estate segment for purposes of evaluating segment performance (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017, casualty losses totaled $2.8 million and included several large claims primarily related to hurricane damage. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016, casualty losses totaled $2.9 million and included one large claim related to fire damage and two large claims related to water damage resulting from damaged pipes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, casualty losses totaled $7.1 million as compared to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to casualty losses from Hurricane Irma.

Apartment communities previously in our Real Estate portfolio that were sold by December 31, 2016, generated net operating income of $3.5 million and $16.9 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

30

Asset Management Results

We hold a nominal ownership position in certain consolidated partnerships that own apartment communities that qualify for low-income housing tax credits and are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and tax deductions to their partners. In this role, we provide asset management and other services to these partnerships and receive fees and other payments in return.

In accordance with GAAP, we consolidate most of these partnerships and their underlying apartment communities. Our share of the partnerships’ net operating income, less interest expense and other amounts, was approximately 95% (inclusive of unconsolidated communities) at September 30, 2017, and represents income generated by the partnerships that is currently available to pay fees and other amounts due to us under the contractual agreements.

The operating results of the partnerships served by our Asset Management business and their underlying apartment communities were comparable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

We are also generally responsible for ensuring the underlying apartment communities comply with the requirements to earn low-income housing tax credits. We recognize income associated with the delivery of tax credits and tax deductions delivered to the partners.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, tax credit and transaction revenues decreased by $2.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. We recognized lower tax credit income, the majority of which was due to our 2016 acquisition of an investor limited partner’s interest in one of the tax credit partnerships (and their rights to undelivered tax credits) prior to the end of the tax credit delivery period. Following the purchase, we generate tax benefits in our results of operations, which largely offsets the tax credit income we otherwise would have recognized. The remainder of the decrease in tax credit income is due to the delivery of the final tax credits for various apartment communities during 2016. Transaction revenues decreased due to a $3.6 million fee earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for assisting a third party property owner with respect to a property we previously owned.

We expect the contribution to our net income from asset management activities to decline in future years as we continue to deliver the final tax credits for these communities and, as part of our plan to exit the Asset Management business, the partnerships sell the underlying apartment communities.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, depreciation and amortization increased$7.7 million, or 9.0%, and $23.5 million, or 9.6%, respectively, primarily due to amounts placed in service after the completion of apartment homes in our Park Towne Place and The Sterling redevelopments, the completion of our One Canal development, our acquisition of Indigo and other capital additions, partially offset by decreases associated with apartment communities sold.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, general and administrative expenses decreased$1.1 million, or 9.3%, and $3.9 million, or11.1%, respectively, primarily due to lower compensation costs, professional services and corporate offsite costs.

Other Expenses, net

Other expenses, net includes franchise taxes, costs associated with our risk management activities, partnership administration expenses and certain non-recurring items.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, other expenses increased by $0.8 million, primarily due to higher legal costs.

For thenine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to thenine months ended September 30, 2016, other expenses decreased by $1.8 million, primarily due to the 2016 recognition of estimated environmental clean-up and abatement costs associated with a matter further discussed in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, partially offset by higher legal costs.

31

Interest Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased by $1.3 million, or 2.6%.The increase was primarily due to higher amounts outstanding on corporate borrowings (including our term loan and incremental line borrowings used to fund the reacquisition of the Palazzo limited partner interests), partially offset by lower average outstanding balances on non-recourse property debt for our Real Estate apartment communities, due to principal amortization and balance repayments and refinancing property loans at lower rates.

For thenine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to thenine months ended September 30, 2016,interest expense decreased$0.5 million, or0.3%.The decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding balances on non-recourse property debt for our Real Estate apartment communities, due to principal amortization, balance repayments and refinancing property loans at lower rates, partially offset by loans placed later in 2016 on acquired apartment communities, higher amounts outstanding on corporate borrowings (as described above) and a decrease in capitalized interest associated with our redevelopment and development activities.

Other, net

Other, net includes our equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated real estate partnerships, and the results of operations related to the Napico business, which we accounted for under the profit sharing method until September 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income of the Napico business increased by $7.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As discussed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, in September 2017, we derecognized the assets and liabilities related to this property, resulting in a gain.

Income Tax Benefit

Certain of our operations, including property management and risk management, are conducted through TRS entities. Additionally, some of our apartment communities are owned through TRS entities.

Our income tax benefit calculated in accordance with GAAP includes: (a) historic tax credits that offset income tax obligations of our TRS entities; (b) income taxes associated with the income or loss of our TRS entities, for which the taxes consequences have been realized in earlier periods or will be realized in future periods; and (c) low income housing tax credits that offset REIT taxable income, primarily from retained capital gains. Income taxes related to these items (before gains on dispositions) are included in income tax benefit in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income tax benefit for the periods presented also reflects GAAP taxes associated with income and gains related to the Napico business, which was deconsolidated at the end of September 2017.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, income tax benefit increased by $1.4 million. In 2017, we had lower historic tax credits associated with the redevelopment of certain apartment communities. Notwithstanding these lower historic tax credits, our income tax benefit increased, primarily due to higher operating losses recognized by our TRS entities and higher tax benefits associated with low-income tax credits from our September 2016 acquisition of the limited partner interests in a tax credit partnership. Additionally, in 2017 we recognized higher tax expense than in 2016 due to our derecognition of the final community in the Napico business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, income tax benefit decreased by $1.6 million. Income tax benefit decreased primarily due to lower historic tax credits associated with the redevelopment of certain apartment communities, including the timing of final certification on one redevelopment in 2016. This was partially offset by higher tax benefits associated with low-income tax credits from the 2016 acquisition described above.

Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate, Net of Tax

Real Estate

We did not sell any apartment communities from our Real Estate portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, though we sold a commercial property resulting in a small gain. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold three apartment communities for gross proceeds of $301.9 million, resulting in net proceeds of $299.0 million and net gain on dispositions of real estate of $222.7 million.

32

Asset Management

Consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business did not sell any apartment communities during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, consolidated partnerships sold two apartment communities for gross proceeds of $10.9 million, resulting in a gain on disposition of real estate of $2.6 million and related tax expense of $0.9 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, a consolidated partnership served by our Asset Management business sold an apartment community for gross proceeds of $27.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $10.3 million after repayment of property-level debt, payment of transaction costs and distribution of proceeds to noncontrolling interests, and net gain on dispositions of $14.5 million.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships reflects the results of our consolidated real estate partnerships allocated to the owners who are not affiliated with Aimco. The amounts of income or loss of our consolidated real estate partnerships that we allocate to the owners not affiliated with Aimco include their share of property management fees, interest on notes and other amounts that we charge to these partnerships.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we allocated net loss of $0.2 million and net income of $12.5 million, respectively, to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, representing a decrease of $12.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we allocated net income of $1.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively, to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, representing a decrease of $20.6 million.

The amounts of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests related to our Real Estate segment and Asset Management business in the aggregate decreased by $11.9 million and $12.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in the amounts of gain we recognized on dispositions of real estate during these periods.

The amounts of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests related to the Napico business decreased by $0.8 million and $8.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. As part of our ongoing plan to simplify our business, during 2012 we sold the Napico business. In 2016, we received final payment of the seller financing and we met the requirements to recognize the sale of the majority of that business. In 2017, the current owner of the Napico business refinanced the final property, for which we previously provided a debt guaranty, allowing us to derecognize the assets and liabilities related to this property and resulting in a gain.

Net Income Attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders

Net income attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders decreased by $2.2 million and $3.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016. Net income attributed to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders decreased by $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, during these periods. The decreases were primarily due to Aimco’s redemption of its Class Z Preferred Stock on July 29, 2016. In connection with the redemption we wrote off previously deferred issuance costs of $1.3 million. Additionally, the $0.7 million excess of redemption value over the carrying amount, was reflected in net income attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders and Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the critical accounting policies that involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements relate to the impairment of long-lived assets and capitalized costs.

Our critical accounting policies are described in more detail in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our Form 10-K and we believe that the related judgments and assessments have been consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Measures

Various of the key financial indicators we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are non-GAAP measures. Key non-GAAP measures we use are defined and described below, and for those non-

33

GAAP measures used or disclosed within this quarterly report, reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP are provided.

Funds from Operations, Pro forma Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined and further described below under the Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations heading.

Free Cash Flow, or FCF, as calculated for our retained portfolio, represents an apartment community’s property net operating income less spending for capital replacements, which represents our estimation of the capital additions made to replace capital assets consumed during our ownership period (further discussed under the Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations and the Liquidity and Capital Resources headings). FCF margin represents an apartment community’s net operating income less $1,200 per apartment home of assumed annual capital replacement spending, as a percentage of the apartment community’s rental and other property revenues. Capital replacement spending represents a measure of the cost of capital asset usage during the period; therefore, we believe that FCF is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of apartment community performance because it takes into consideration costs incurred during the period to replace capital assets that have been consumed during our ownership.

We use Economic Income as our measure of total return. Economic Income represents the change in estimated net asset value per share plus cash dividends per share. We report and reconcile our Economic Income annually. Readers should refer to the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for more information about Economic Income.

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO. We calculate FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted) by subtracting, if dilutive, redemption or repurchase related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock, and adding back dividends/distributions on dilutive preferred securities and premiums or discounts on preferred stock redemptions or repurchases.

In addition to FFO, we compute Pro forma FFO and Adjusted FFO, or AFFO, which are also non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful to investors in understanding our performance. Pro forma FFO represents FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted), excluding preferred equity redemption-related amounts (adjusted for noncontrolling interests). Preferred equity redemption-related amounts (gains or losses) are items that periodically affect our operating results and we exclude these items from our calculation of Pro forma FFO because such amounts are not representative of our operating performance. AFFO represents Pro forma FFO reduced by Capital Replacements (also adjusted for noncontrolling interests), which represents our estimation of the capital additions made to replace capital assets consumed during our ownership period. When we make capital additions at an apartment community, we evaluate whether the additions enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset as compared to its condition at the time we purchased the apartment community. We classify as Capital Improvements those capital additions that meet these criteria and we classify as Capital Replacements those that do not. AFFO is a key financial indicator that we use to evaluate our operational performance and is one of the factors that we use to determine the amounts of our dividend payments.

FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance. Although we use these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing our performance compared to other REITs, not all REITs compute these same measures, and those who do may not compute them in the same manner. Additionally, our computation of AFFO is subject to our definition of Capital Replacement spending. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, Aimco’s FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO are calculated as follows (in thousands):

Refer to the Executive Overview for discussion of our FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO results for 2017, as compared to their comparable periods in 2016.

Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information regarding our capital investing activities, including Capital Replacements.

The Aimco Operating Partnership does not separately compute or report FFO, Pro forma FFO or AFFO. However, based on Aimco’s method for allocation of such amounts to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership, as well as limited differences between the amounts of net income attributable to Aimco’s common stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s unit holders during the periods presented, FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO amounts on a per unit basis for the Aimco Operating Partnership would be expected to be substantially the same as the corresponding per share amounts for Aimco.

Leverage Ratios

As discussed under the Balance Sheet and Liquidity heading, as part of our leverage strategy, we target the ratio of Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA to be below 7.0x and we target the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends to be greater than 2.5x. We believe these ratios are important measures as they are commonly used by investors and analysts to assess the relative financial risk associated with balance sheets of companies within the same industry, and they are believed to be similar to measures used by rating agencies to assess entity credit quality.

We calculate our leverage ratios based on the most recent three month amounts, annualized.

Proportionate Debt, as used in our leverage ratios, is a non-GAAP measure and includes our share of the long-term, non-recourse property debt secured by apartment communities in the Real Estate portfolio, our one-year term loan, and outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, reduced by our share of the cash and restricted cash of our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships owning communities in our Real Estate portfolio, and also by our investment in the subordinate

35

tranches of a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt (essentially, an investment in our own non-recourse property loans).

In our Proportionate Debt computation, we increase our recorded debt by unamortized debt issue costs because these amounts represent cash expended in earlier periods and do not reduce our contractual obligations, and we reduce our recorded debt by the amounts of cash and restricted cash on-hand (such restricted cash amounts being primarily restricted under the terms of our property debt agreements), assuming these amounts would be used to reduce our outstanding leverage. We further reduce our recorded debt by the value of our investment in a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, as our payments of principal and interest associated with such property debt will ultimately repay our investments in the trust.

We exclude from our leverage the non-recourse property debt obligations of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business. The non-recourse property debt obligations of these partnerships are not our obligations and have limited effect on the amount of fees and other payments we expect to receive.

We believe Proportionate Debt is useful to investors as it is a measure of our net exposure to debt obligations. Proportionate Debt, as used in our leverage ratios, is calculated as set forth in the table below.

Preferred Equity, as used in our leverage ratios, represents the redemption amounts for Aimco’s preferred stock and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units. Preferred Equity, although perpetual in nature, is another component of our overall leverage.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it allows investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis, before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of and impairment losses related to real estate, and various other items described below.

Adjusted EBITDA represents Aimco’s share of the consolidated amount of our net income, adjusted to exclude the effect of the following items for the reasons set forth below:

• Adjusted Interest Expense, defined below, to allow investors to compare a measure of our earnings before the effects of our indebtedness with that of other companies in the real estate industry;

• preferred dividends, to allow investors to compare a measure of our performance before the effects of our capital structure with that of other companies in the real estate industry;

• income taxes, to allow investors to measure our performance independent of income taxes, which may vary significantly from other companies within our industry due to leverage and tax planning strategies, among other considerations;

• depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses related to real estate, for similar reasons to those set forth in our discussion of FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO in the preceding section; and

• other items, including gains on dispositions of non-depreciable assets, as these are items that periodically affect our operations but that are not necessarily representative of our ability to service our debt obligation.

While Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance and is commonly used in leverage ratios, it does not represent net income as defined by GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income in evaluating our performance.  Further, our definition and computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Interest Expense, as calculated in our leverage ratios, is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is meaningful for investors and analysts as it presents our share of current recurring interest requirements associated with leverage. Our calculation of Adjusted Interest Expense is set forth in the table below. Adjusted Interest Expense represents our proportionate share of interest expense on non-recourse property debt encumbering apartment communities in the Real Estate portfolio and interest expense on our term loan and revolving credit facility borrowings. We exclude from our calculation of Adjusted Interest Expense:

• debt prepayment penalties, which are items that, from time to time, affect our operating results but are not representative of our scheduled interest obligations;

• the amortization of debt issue costs, as these amounts have been expended in previous periods and are not representative of our current or prospective debt service requirements; and

• the income we receive on our investment in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, as this income is being generated indirectly from interest we pay with respect to property debt held by the trust.

36

Preferred Dividends represents the preferred dividends paid on Aimco’s preferred stock and the preferred distributions paid on the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units, exclusive of preferred equity redemption related amounts. We add Preferred Dividends to Adjusted Interest Expense for a more complete picture of the interest and dividend requirements of our leverage, inclusive of perpetual preferred equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from sales of apartment communities, proceeds from refinancings of existing property debt, borrowings under new property debt, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, including our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from equity offerings.

Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding property debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders, distributions paid to noncontrolling interest partners and acquisitions of apartment communities. We use our cash and cash equivalents and our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that our cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities are not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity needs, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from apartment community sales and refinancings. We may use our revolving credit facility for working capital and other short-term purposes, such as funding investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities, redevelopment spending and apartment community acquisitions, through long-term borrowings (primarily non-recourse), the issuance of equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of apartment communities and cash generated from operations.

As of September 30, 2017, our primary sources of liquidity were as follows:

• $38.8 million in cash and cash equivalents;

• $47.6 million of restricted cash, which consists primarily of escrows related to resident security deposits and reserves and escrows held by lenders for capital additions, property taxes and insurance; and

• $231.8 million of available capacity to borrow under our revolving credit facility (which is more fully described below), after consideration of outstanding borrowings of $356.2 million and $12.0 million of letters of credit backed by the facility.

At September 30, 2017, we also held unencumbered apartment communities with an estimated fair market value of approximately $1.8 billion, an increase of approximately 12% from December 31, 2016. Each of the amounts presented above exclude amounts attributable to partnerships served by our Asset Management business.

Leverage and Capital Resources

The availability of credit and its related effect on the overall economy may affect our liquidity and future financing activities, both through changes in interest rates and access to financing. Currently, interest rates are low compared to historical levels and many lenders are active in the market. However, any adverse changes in the lending environment could negatively affect our liquidity. We believe we have mitigated much of this exposure by reducing our short and intermediate term maturity risk through refinancing such loans with long-dated, fixed-rate property debt. However, if property financing options become unavailable for our further debt needs, we may consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as reductions in capital spending or proceeds from apartment community dispositions.

Our investment grade rating would be useful in accessing capital through the sale of bonds in private or public transactions. However, our intention and historical practice has been to raise debt capital in the form of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt, the cost of which is generally less than that of recourse debt and the terms of which also provide for greater balance sheet safety.

As of September 30, 2017, approximately 81.1% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, amortizing debt. Approximately 97.7% of this property-level debt is fixed-rate, which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation. The weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was7.1years.

For property-level debt encumbering the communities in our Real Estate portfolio, $116.5 millionof our unpaid principal balances mature during the remainder of 2017, and on average, 9.3% of our unpaid principal balance will mature each year from 2018 through 2020.

While our primary source of leverage is property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt, we have a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as our Credit Agreement. Our Credit Agreement provides for $600.0 million of revolving loan commitments. As of September 30, 2017, we had $356.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides us with an option to expand the aggregate loan commitments, subject to customary conditions, by up to$200.0 million.

On June 30, 2017, we amended the Credit Agreement to provide for a $250.0 million term loan to fund partially our reacquisition of limited partner interests in the Palazzo joint venture. The term loan matures on June 30, 2018, has a one-year extension option and bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points.

As of September 30, 2017, our outstanding perpetual preferred equity represented approximately 5.2% of our total leverage. Our preferred securities are perpetual in nature; however, for illustrative purposes, we compute the weighted average maturity of our total leverage assuming a 40-year maturity for our preferred securities.

The combination of non-recourse property-level debt and perpetual preferred equity that comprises the majority of our total leverage reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk. The weighted average maturity for our total leverage described above was 8.2 years as of September 30, 2017.

Under the Credit Agreement, we have agreed to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.40x, as well as comply with other covenants customary for similar revolving credit arrangements. For the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2017, our Fixed Charge Coverage ratio was 1.99x, compared to a ratio of 1.96x for the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2016. We expect to remain in compliance with this covenant during the next 12 months.

Changes in Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following discussion relates to changes in consolidated cash and cash equivalents due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1 of this report.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $285.0 million. Our operating cash flow is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment communities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $8.6 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to improved operating results of our Same Store communities and increased contribution from our redevelopment and lease-up communities, partially offset by lower net operating income associated with apartment communities sold in 2016.

39

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities of $274.1 million consisted primarily of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $266.6 million and $259.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We generally fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operating activities and cash proceeds from apartment community sales.

We categorize capital spending for communities in our Real Estate portfolio broadly into six primary categories:

• capital replacements, which represent capital additions made to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets;

• capital improvements, which are non-redevelopment capital additions that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an apartment community from its original purchase condition;

• property upgrades, which may include kitchen and bath remodeling, energy conservation projects, and investments in longer-lived materials designed to reduce turnover costs and maintenance, all of which are generally lesser in scope than redevelopment additions and do not significantly disrupt property operations;

• redevelopment additions, which represent capital additions intended to enhance the value of an apartment community through the ability to generate higher average rental revenues, and may include costs related to entitlement, which enhance the value of a community through increased density, and costs related to renovation of exteriors, common areas or apartment homes;

• development additions, which represent construction and related capitalized costs associated with development of apartment communities; and

• casualty capital additions, which represent capitalized costs incurred in connection with the restoration of an asset after a casualty event such as a severe snow storm, hurricane, tornado, flood or fire.

We exclude from these measures the amounts of capital spending related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale at the end of the period, as well as amounts expended by consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business as such amounts generally do not affect the amount of cash flow we expect to receive from the operation and ultimate disposition of these communities. We have also excluded from these measures indirect capitalized costs which are allocated later in the year to apartment communities with capital additions, and their related capital spending categories.

A summary of the capital spending for these categories, along with a reconciliation of the total for these categories to the capital expenditures reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are presented below (dollars in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016
Real Estate
Capital replacements	$	32,665	$	30,467
Capital improvements	12,050		10,763
Property upgrades	85,670		53,707
Redevelopment additions	115,444		117,810
Development additions	5,783		30,481
Casualty replacements	6,700		4,280
Real Estate capital additions	258,312		247,508
Plus: additions related to consolidated asset managed communities, apartment communities sold or held for sale, and other adjustments	3,445		8,051
Consolidated capital additions	261,757		255,559
Plus: net change in accrued capital spending	4,866		3,764
Capital expenditures per consolidated statement of cash flows	$	266,623	$	259,323

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized $5.9 million and $7.8 million of interest costs, respectively, and $26.8 million and $24.1 million of other direct and indirect costs, respectively.

We invested $85.7 million in property upgrades during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and we anticipate a full year investment ranging from $95 million to $105 million.

Redevelopment/Development

Information regarding our redevelopment and development communities at September 30, 2017, is presented below (dollars in millions):

Total		3,904	$	710.4	$	481.4

(1) Redevelopments provide us with the flexibility to align the timing of completed apartment homes with market demand. As such, expected occupancy stabilization and expected NOI stabilization dates may change as market conditions evolve.

(2) This phase of redevelopment encompasses common areas, amenity improvements and the creation of a new retail space.

(3) In response to market conditions, we slowed redevelopment activities and extended the estimated time for completion.

(4) This phase of the redevelopment encompasses common areas and security system upgrades.

Net investment represents the total actual or estimated investment, net of tax and other credits earned as a direct result of our redevelopment or development of the community.

Net Operating Income Stabilization represents the period in which we expect the communities to achieve stabilized rents and operating costs, generally five quarters after occupancy stabilization.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we invested $121.2 million in ongoing redevelopment and development projects.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed construction of the third tower at Park Towne Place in Center City, Philadelphia. As of September 30, 2017 this tower was 74% leased at rates consistent with underwriting. We expect this tower to be more than 90% leased by year-end, as are the first two towers redeveloped at the community.

Also in Center City Philadelphia, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed redevelopment and the lease-up of the 534 apartment homes at The Sterling and substantially completed the reconfiguration of the second floor commercial space, upgrades to the third and fourth floor commercial space and upgrades to residential common areas.

In the past three years, we have leased more than 1,100 redeveloped apartment homes in Center City, Philadelphia. Based on these results, we decided to proceed with a $40.0 million redevelopment of the fourth and final tower at Park Towne Place. De-leasing of the fourth tower is underway and construction on this tower is scheduled to commence by year end.

In addition to the redevelopments described above, during thenine months ended September 30, 2017 we continued redevelopment of three ongoing projects in Los Angeles and San Jose, California and Lombard, Illinois and commenced redevelopments at four apartment communities in Miami, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles, which are summarized in the table above.

In 2014, we acquired Eastpointe, a “C” property located in Boulder, Colorado. Over the past two years, we have planned and entitled a new $117.0 million, 226 apartment home community to be known as Parc Mosaic. De-leasing of Eastpointe is underway and construction of Parc Mosaic is scheduled to commence by year end.

41

Inclusive of the redevelopment and development projects discussed above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we expanded our redevelopment and development pipeline by $223.1 million. The total estimated net investment for these redevelopment and development communities is $710.4 million, with a projected weighted average net operating income yield on these investments of 6.1% assuming untrended rents. Of this total, $481.4 million has been funded.

We expect our total development and redevelopment spending to range from $150 million to $170 million for the year ending December 31, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in financing activities of $16.4 million was primarily attributed to our reacquisition of the limited partner interests in the Palazzo joint venture, dividends paid to common security holders, distributions paid to noncontrolling interests and principal payments on property loans, mostly offset by proceeds from the term loan, net borrowings on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from non-recourse property debt.

Net borrowings on our revolving credit facility primarily relate to the timing of property debt financing activities and apartment community dispositions planned during 2017, as well as the timing of our reacquisition of the limited partner interests in the Palazzo joint venture. Proceeds from non-recourse property debt borrowings during the period consisted of the closing of six fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property loans totaling $162.2 million. On a weighted average basis, these loans have a term of 9.3 years and an interest rate of 3.6%, 129 basis points more than the corresponding Treasury rate at the time of pricing.

We like the discipline of financing our investments in real estate through the use of fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property debt, as the amortization gradually reduces our leverage and reduces our refunding risk, and the fixed-rate provides a hedge against increases in interest rates.

Principal payments on property loans during the period totaled $250.7 million, consisting of scheduled principal amortization of $64.3 million and repayments of $186.4 million.

Net cash used in financing activities also includes $191.3 million of payments to equity holders, as further detailed in the table below.

Equity and Partners’ Capital Transactions

The following table presents the Aimco Operating Partnership’s distribution activity (including distributions paid to Aimco) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to holders of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships	$	1,977
Cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to preferred unitholders (1)	12,271
Cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to common unitholders (2)	177,013
Total cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership	$	191,261

(1) $6.4 million represented distributions to Aimco, and $5.8 million represented distributions paid to holders of OP Units.

(2) $169.0 million represented distributions to Aimco, and $8.0 million represented distributions paid to holders of OP Units.

The following table presents Aimco’s dividend activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Cash distributions paid by Aimco to holders of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships	$	1,977
Cash distributions paid by Aimco to holders of OP Units	13,852
Cash dividends paid by Aimco to preferred stockholders	6,445
Cash dividends paid by Aimco to common stockholders	168,987
Total cash dividends and distributions paid by Aimco	$	191,261

Future Capital Needs

We expect to fund any future acquisitions, redevelopment, development, and other capital spending principally with proceeds from apartment community sales, short-term borrowings, debt and equity financing and operating cash flows. Our near term business plan does not contemplate the issuance of equity.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 30, 2017, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $83.1 million of variable-rate property debt outstanding, and $606.2 million of variable-rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement. We estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads would result in our net income, the amount of net income attributable to Aimco common stockholders and the amount of net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common unitholders being reduced by approximately $6.7 million on an annual basis. We estimate that a decrease in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points would increase the amounts of our net income by a similar amount.

At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $133.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, a portion of which bear interest at variable rates and may partially mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate debt discussed above.

We estimate the fair value for debt instruments as described in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. The estimated fair value of indebtedness associated with the Real Estate portfolio was approximately $4.2 billion at September 30, 2017, inclusive of a $62.3 million mark-to-market liability. The carrying value of non-recourse property debt of the partnerships served by our Asset Management business approximated its estimated fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The mark-to-market liability increased by $4.7 million as compared to the mark-to-market liability at December 31, 2016.

If market rates for consolidated fixed-rate debt were higher by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of consolidated debt discussed above would decrease from $4.4 billion in the aggregate to $4.3 billion. If market rates for consolidated debt discussed above were lower by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of consolidated fixed-rate debt would increase from $4.4 billion in the aggregate to $4.6 billion.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Aimco

(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. Aimco did not issue any unregistered shares of Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

(c) Repurchases of Equity Securities. There were no repurchases by Aimco of its common equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Aimco’s Board of Directors has, from time to time, authorized Aimco to repurchase shares of its outstanding capital stock. As of September 30, 2017, Aimco was authorized to repurchase approximately 19.3 million additional shares. This authorization has no expiration date. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

The Aimco Operating Partnership

(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. The Aimco Operating Partnership did not issue any unregistered OP Units during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

(c) Repurchases of Equity Securities. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement generally provides that after holding the common OP Units for one year, limited partners have the right to redeem their common OP Units for cash, subject to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s prior right to cause Aimco to acquire some or all of the common OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Common Stock. Common OP Units redeemed for Common Stock are exchanged on a one-for-one basis (subject to antidilution adjustments). During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock. The following table summarizes repurchases (redemptions in exchange for cash) of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s equity securities for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Period	Total Number of Units Purchased	Average Price Paid per Unit		Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1)	Maximum Number of Units that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
July 1 - July 31, 2017	9,601	$	44.03	N/A	N/A
August 1 - August 31, 2017	684	43.09		N/A	N/A
September 1 - September 30, 2017	14,388	45.56		N/A	N/A
Total	24,673	$	44.89

(1) The terms of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement do not provide for a maximum number of units that may be repurchased, and other than the express terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Aimco Operating Partnership has no publicly announced plans or programs of repurchase. However, whenever Aimco repurchases shares of its Common Stock, it is expected that Aimco will fund the repurchase with proceeds from a concurrent repurchase by the Aimco Operating Partnership of common partnership units held by Aimco at a price per unit that is equal to the price per share paid for its Common Stock.

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership

Dividend and Distribution Payments. Our Credit Agreement includes customary covenants, including a restriction on dividends and distributions and other restricted payments, but permits dividends and distributions during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of Aimco’s Funds From Operations, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, for such period or such amount as may be necessary for Aimco to maintain its REIT status.

Organization

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. Aimco is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994, to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment and limited development of quality apartment communities located in the largest markets in the United States.

Aimco, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, owns a majority of the ownership interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco conducts all of its business and owns all of its assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as OP Units. OP Units include common partnership units and high performance partnership units, which we refer to as common OP Units, as well as partnership preferred units, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2017, after eliminations for units held by consolidated subsidiaries, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 164,459,517 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2017, Aimco owned 157,023,314 of the common partnership units (95.5% of the common partnership units and equivalents) of the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco had outstanding an equal number of shares of its Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

As of September 30, 2017, we owned an equity interest in141apartment communities with 39,184 apartment homes in our real estate portfolio. Our Real Estate portfolio, which comprises our reportable segment, is diversified by both price point and geography and consists primarily of market rate apartment communities in which we own a substantial interest. We consolidated 137 of these apartment communities with 39,042 apartment homes.

As of September 30, 2017, we also owned nominal ownership positions in partnerships holding 46 low-income housing tax credit apartment communities with 6,898 apartment homes. We provide services to these partnerships and receive fees and other payments in return. Our relationship with these partnerships is different than real estate ownership and is better described as an asset management business, or Asset Management. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we are required to consolidate partnerships owning an aggregate of 39 apartment communities with 6,211 apartment homes.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership at December 31, 2016, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Effective in 2017, we modified our condensed consolidated balance sheets to present the assets and liabilities of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business separately from those amounts relating to our Real Estate portfolio. We have similarly modified our condensed consolidated statements of operations to present separately the rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business. We have reclassified these items in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities or net income amounts.

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, including partnerships served by our Asset Management business (see note Note 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Temporary Equity and Partners’ Capital

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred OP Units from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017. The Preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holders’ option (as further discussed in Note 5), and therefore are presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands).

On June 30, 2017, we reacquired the 47% noncontrolling limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture, as further discussed in Note 3. As a result of this transaction we recorded the consideration paid in excess of the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated real estate partnership of $155.6 million as a reduction of Aimco’s additional paid-in capital and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s partners capital.

Please refer to the Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year heading below, for further discussion of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Partners’ Capital attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership

The following table presents a reconciliation of the consolidated partners’ capital balances in permanent capital that are attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

	Partners’ capital  attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership
Balance, December 31, 2016	$	1,793,845
Distributions to preferred units held by Aimco	(6,445		)
Distributions to common units held by Aimco	(169,582		)
Distributions to common units held by Limited Partners	(8,094		)
Redemption of common OP Units	(11,524		)
Amortization of Aimco stock-based compensation cost	7,240

A separate reconciliation of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and total partners’ capital for the Aimco Operating Partnership is not presented as these amounts are identical to the corresponding noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and total equity for Aimco, which are presented above.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

Effective April 1, 2017, we elected to adopt early the new accounting standard that revised the GAAP definition of a business. Under the new standard we expect apartment communities will no longer be considered businesses in most acquisitions and dispositions. Under the new standard, transaction costs incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operations will be capitalized as a cost of the acquisition. Additionally, we will no longer allocate goodwill to apartment communities for purposes of calculating gains or losses upon sale. We have applied the new standard prospectively to transactions occurring after April 1, 2017. This standard did not have a significant effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a new standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intercompany transfers of assets. Previously, the recognition within the statement of operations of income tax expense or benefit resulting from an intercompany transfer of assets did not occur until the assets affect GAAP income or loss, for example, through depreciation, impairment or upon the sale of the asset to a third party. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes the income tax expense or benefit from an intercompany transfer of assets when the transfer occurs. We have applied this change on a modified retrospective basis and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $65.7 million as of January 1, 2017, representing accumulated unrecognized tax expense from intercompany transfers between the Aimco Operating Partnership and TRS entities. Such amounts were included in other assets within our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016.

Also effective January 1, 2017, we adopted guidance that simplifies the accounting for share-based compensation. Under prior practice, tax benefits in excess of those associated with compensation cost recognized in accordance with GAAP, or windfalls, were recorded in equity and tax deficiencies were recorded in equity until previous windfalls had been recouped and then recognized in earnings. Under the new guidance, all of the tax effects related to share-based compensation are recognized through earnings. This guidance is applied to all windfalls and tax deficiencies resulting from settlements occurring after January 1, 2017. The new guidance also requires windfalls to be recorded in the period the related transaction triggering tax consequences, such as an exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares, occurs. This change in timing of recognition has been applied on a modified retrospective basis. We did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings on the date of adoption as there were no accumulated windfalls recorded in equity. Compared to prior periods, we may experience incremental volatility in income tax benefit or expense resulting from the recognition in earnings of windfall benefits or deficiencies upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the FASB issued new standards that affect accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and that are effective for us on January 1, 2018. The FASB also issued a new standard on lease accounting, which is effective for Aimco on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We have substantially completed our evaluation of these standards and do not expect our adoption will have a significant effect on the timing or amount of revenue or lease income we recognize on an ongoing basis. However, in circumstances where we are a lessee, primarily in a limited population of ground leases and leases of corporate office space, we will be required to recognize right of use assets and related lease liabilities within our consolidated balance sheets. We expect the timing and amount of expense for these leases will remain unchanged unless modified prior to their contractual termination dates.

Disposals and Other Significant Transactions

Significant Transactions, Dispositions of Apartment Communities and Assets Held for Sale

Reacquisition of Limited Partner Interest in Palazzo Joint Venture and Term Loan

On June 30, 2017, we reacquired for $451.5 million, the 47% noncontrolling limited partner interest in the Palazzo joint venture, which owns three communities with a total of 1,382 apartment homes located in Los Angeles, California. We assumed $140.5 million of the noncontrolling interest partner’s share of existing non-recourse property-level debt and paid $311.0 million in cash consideration, which was funded by short-term borrowings we expect to repay using proceeds from apartment community sales. We now own all of the interests in the Palazzo joint venture and its underlying apartment communities. Prior to the transaction, we consolidated into our financial statements the joint venture and underlying apartment communities, therefore this transaction has been accounted for as an equity transaction. In accordance with GAAP, we recognized the $155.6 million of consideration paid in excess of the noncontrolling interest balance as a reduction of additional paid-in capital within Aimco’s equity and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s partners capital.

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a second amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement continues our existing $600.0 million revolving loan facility with consistent terms and provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which we used to fund a portion of the Palazzo reacquisition. The term loan matures on June 30, 2018, includes a one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, and currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.35%. We paid lender and other fees of $1.0 million in connection with the term loan, which have been deferred and will be recognized as additional interest over the duration of the term loan.

Dispositions of Apartment Communities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partnerships served by the Asset Management business sold two apartment communities with a total of 252 apartment homes, resulting in gains of $2.6 million, and related tax expense of $0.9 million.

We are currently marketing for sale certain apartment communities that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, the consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business periodically evaluates for sale certain of their apartment communities. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate whether any consolidated apartment communities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2017, no apartment communities were classified as held for sale.

Napico Disposition

In 2012, we sold the Napico business. The transaction was primarily seller-financed, and the associated notes were scheduled to be repaid from the operation and liquidation of the Napico business and were collateralized by the buyer’s interests in the portfolio. In 2016, the buyer paid the two seller-financed notes in full. At that time we maintained continuing involvement related to preexisting guarantees of property-level debt for two communities. In accordance with GAAP, we deferred recognition of the sale of these communities until the guarantees were released. In September 2017, the owner refinanced the final mortgage, resulting in the release of our remaining guarantee, which allowed us to transfer our nominal general partner interest in the property to the buyer.

Accordingly, we reduced other assets and accrued liabilities and other by $34.5 million and $38.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain of $7.1 million, net of tax, in other, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our redevelopment, development and capital improvement activities, we have entered into various construction-related contracts and we have made commitments to complete redevelopment of certain apartment communities, pursuant to financing or other arrangements. As of September 30, 2017, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $96.2 million, most of which we expect to incur during the next 12 months.

We enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our apartment communities. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Tax Credit Arrangements

For various consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business, we are required to manage the partnerships and related apartment communities in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to historic and low-income housing tax credit syndication arrangements. In some instances, noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized by the limited partners in these partnerships and would require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for the tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to eight years. We do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.

Income Taxes

In 2014, the Internal Revenue Service initiated an audit of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2011 and 2012 tax years. We do not believe the audit will have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations.

Legal Matters

In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by our general liability insurance program, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Limited Partnerships

In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

La Jolla Cove Litigation

We are a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a group of disappointed buyers that contend we interfered with their allegedly superior right to acquire the La Jolla Cove property. The case, pending in state court in California, is in fact discovery at this stage. The case is set for jury trial in February 2018.  Although the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, we do not believe its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental

Various federal, state and local laws subject apartment community owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present in the land or buildings of an apartment community. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remediate properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at such apartment communities as well as the ability to sell or finance such apartment communities. In addition, governmental agencies may bring claims for costs associated with investigation and remediation actions. Moreover, private plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities related to the alleged presence of hazardous materials. In addition to potential environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current apartment communities, we may also be responsible for such liabilities or costs associated with communities we acquire or manage in the future, or apartment communities we no longer own or operate.

We are engaged in discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, regarding contaminated groundwater in a residential area in the vicinity of an Indiana apartment community that has not been owned by us since 2008. The contamination allegedly derives from a dry cleaner that operated on our former property, prior to our ownership. We have undertaken a voluntary remediation of the dry cleaner contamination under IDEM’s oversight, and in previous years accrued our share of the then-estimated cleanup and abatement costs. In 2016, EPA listed our former community and a number of residential communities in the vicinity on the National Priorities List, or NPL (i.e. as a Superfund site), and IDEM has formally sought to terminate us from the voluntary remediation program. We have filed a formal appeal of the EPA listing and the IDEM termination of us from the voluntary remediation program. Although the outcome of these processes are uncertain, we do not expect their resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We also have been contacted by regulators and the current owner of a property in Lake Tahoe regarding environmental issues allegedly stemming from the historic operation of a dry cleaner. An entity owned by us was the former general partner of a now-dissolved partnership that previously owned a site that was used for dry cleaning. That entity and the current property owner have been remediating the dry cleaner site since 2009, under the oversight of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, or Lahontan. In 2016, Lahontan sent us, the current property owner, and a former operator of the dry cleaner drafts of a proposed cleanup and abatement order that, if entered as drafted, would have required all three parties to perform additional groundwater investigation and corrective actions with respect to onsite and offsite contamination. After review of comments from us, Lahontan issued a final order in May 2017. The final order adds one more potentially-responsible party, acknowledges that there may be additional responsible parties, and narrows (as compared to earlier drafts) the scope of work. We are appealing the final order while simultaneously complying with it. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect its resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate certain potentially hazardous materials may be conditional asset retirement obligations, as defined in GAAP. Except in limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or apartment community casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2017, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share/Unit

Earnings per Share and Unit

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership calculate basic earnings per common share and basic earnings per common unit based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units and participating securities outstanding, and calculate diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit taking into consideration dilutive common stock and common partnership unit equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period.

Our common stock and common partnership unit equivalents include options to purchase shares of Common Stock, which, if exercised, would result in Aimco’s issuance of additional shares and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s issuance to Aimco of additional common partnership units equal to the number of shares purchased under the options. These equivalents also include unvested total shareholder return-based restricted stock and unit awards that do not meet the definition of participating securities, which would result in an increase in the number of common shares and common partnership units outstanding equal to the number of shares that vest. The effect of these securities was dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and accordingly has been included in the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and unit during these periods.

Our time-based restricted stock awards receive dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units prior to vesting. These dividends are not forfeited in the event that the restricted stock does not vest. Therefore, the unvested shares and units related to these awards are participating securities. The effect of participating securities is included in basic and diluted earnings per share and unit computations using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings. There were 0.2 million unvested participating shares and units at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Aimco Operating Partnership has various classes of preferred OP Units, which may be redeemed at the holders’ option. The Aimco Operating Partnership may redeem these units for cash, or at its option, shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2017, these preferred OP Units were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.3 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, we have excluded these securities from earnings per share and unit computations and we expect to exclude them in future periods.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investments in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which we classify as available for sale, or AFS, securities, and our interest rate swaps, both of which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy.

Our investments classified as AFS are presented within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We hold several positions in the securitization trust that pay interest currently and we also hold the first loss position in the securitization trust, which accrues interest over the term of the investment. We are accreting the discount to the $100.9 million face value of the investments into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the investments, which, as of September 30, 2017, was approximately 3.7 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $76.4 million and $72.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We estimated the fair value of these investments to be $79.9 million and $76.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

We estimate the fair value of these investments using an income and market approach primarily with observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The fair value of the positions that pay interest currently typically moves in an inverse relationship with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the first loss position is primarily correlated to collateral quality and demand for similar subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Certain consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the partnerships’ variable-rate debt by effectively converting the interest on variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. We estimate the fair value of interest rate swaps using an income approach with primarily observable inputs including information regarding the hedged variable cash flows and forward yield curves relating to the variable interest rates on which the hedged cash flows are based.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016
Beginning balance	$	(3,175	)	$	(4,938	)
Realized (unrealized) losses included in interest expense	73			(33		)
Realized losses on derecognition of interest rate swaps included in earnings	273			—
Losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss	1,076			1,208
Unrealized losses included in equity and partners’ capital	(280		)	(748		)
Ending balance	$	(2,033	)	$	(4,511	)

Realized losses on derecognition of interest rate swaps included in earnings represents previously unrealized losses related to an interest rate swap to which the partnership owning the final Napico property was a party. Upon derecognition of the assets and liabilities related to the final property, we also wrote off the accumulated other comprehensive income related to this swap, which was included in the gain on derecognition included in other, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Please refer to Note 3 for further discussion.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the remaining interest rate swaps, exclusive of the derecognized Napico interest rate swap, had aggregate notional amounts of $22.1 million and $22.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, these swaps had a weighted average remaining term of 6.2 years. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps is presented within accrued liabilities and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity and partners’ capital to the extent of their effectiveness.

If the forward rates at September 30, 2017 remain constant, we estimate that during the next 12 months, we would reclassify approximately $0.5 million of the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. If market interest rates increase above the 3.26% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps the consolidated partnerships will benefit from net cash payments due from the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.

Fair Value Disclosures

We believe that the carrying values of the consolidated amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates their fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The estimated fair value of total indebtedness associated with our Real Estate portfolio was approximately $4.2 billion and $3.7 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, as compared to carrying amounts of $4.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. The carrying values of the non-recourse property debt of the consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business approximated its estimated fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We estimate the fair value of debt using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, contractual interest rates, remaining periods to maturity, collateral quality and loan to value ratios on similarly encumbered assets within our portfolio. We classify the fair value of debt within Level 3 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate their fair values.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Business Segments

In 2017, we revised the information regularly reviewed by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to assess our operating performance. Apartment communities are classified as either part of our Real Estate portfolio or those owned through partnerships served by our Asset Management business.

Our Real Estate portfolio consisted of 141 apartment communities with 39,184 apartment homes at September 30, 2017. This portfolio is diversified by both price point and geography and consists primarily of market rate apartment communities.

Our chief operating decision maker uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our apartment communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for consolidated apartment communities we own and manage. As of September 30, 2017, for segment performance evaluation, our Real Estate segment included 137 consolidated apartment communities with 39,042 apartment homes and excluded four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate.

As discussed in Note 1, as of September 30, 2017, through our Asset Management business we also owned nominal ownership positions in consolidated partnerships for which we provide asset management services. These partnerships own 46 low-income housing tax credit apartment communities with 6,898 apartment homes. Neither the results of operations, nor the assets of these partnerships and apartment communities are quantitatively material; therefore, we have one reportable segment, Real Estate. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the segment assets as of December 31, 2016, shown below have been revised to reflect the change in our reportable segments.

The following tables present the revenues, net operating income and income before gain on dispositions of our Real Estate segment on a proportionate basis (excluding amounts related to apartment communities sold) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, which is a variable interest entity, or VIE, for which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and the business activities of the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

All of the VIEs we consolidate own interests in one or more apartment communities. VIEs that own apartment communities we classify as part of our Real Estate segment are typically structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the communities. We are the primary beneficiary in the limited partnerships in which we are the sole decision maker and have a substantial economic interest.

All of the partnerships served by our Asset Management business own interests in low-income housing tax credit apartment communities that are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and tax deductions to their partners and are VIEs. We hold a nominal ownership position in these partnerships, generally one percent or less. As general partner in these partnerships, we are the sole decision maker and we receive fees and other payments in return for the asset management and other services we provide and thus share in the economics of the partnerships, and as such, we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships. The table below summarizes information regarding VIEs consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership:

	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Real Estate portfolio:
VIEs with interests in apartment communities	12	13
Apartment communities held by VIEs	16	19
Apartment homes in communities held by VIEs	4,728	6,110
Consolidated partnerships served by the Asset Management business:
VIEs with interests in apartment communities	53	54
Apartment communities held by VIEs	37	38
Apartment homes in communities held by VIEs	5,893	6,093

Assets of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated VIEs must first be used to settle the liabilities of such consolidated VIEs. These consolidated VIEs’ creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership at December 31, 2016, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Effective in 2017, we modified our condensed consolidated balance sheets to present the assets and liabilities of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business separately from those amounts relating to our Real Estate portfolio. We have similarly modified our condensed consolidated statements of operations to present separately the rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses of consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business. We have reclassified these items in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities or net income amounts.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, including partnerships served by our Asset Management business (see note Note 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Temporary Equity and Partners' Capital

The Preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holders’ option (as further discussed in Note 5), and therefore are presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands).

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

Effective April 1, 2017, we elected to adopt early the new accounting standard that revised the GAAP definition of a business. Under the new standard we expect apartment communities will no longer be considered businesses in most acquisitions and dispositions. Under the new standard, transaction costs incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operations will be capitalized as a cost of the acquisition. Additionally, we will no longer allocate goodwill to apartment communities for purposes of calculating gains or losses upon sale. We have applied the new standard prospectively to transactions occurring after April 1, 2017. This standard did not have a significant effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a new standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intercompany transfers of assets. Previously, the recognition within the statement of operations of income tax expense or benefit resulting from an intercompany transfer of assets did not occur until the assets affect GAAP income or loss, for example, through depreciation, impairment or upon the sale of the asset to a third party. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes the income tax expense or benefit from an intercompany transfer of assets when the transfer occurs. We have applied this change on a modified retrospective basis and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $65.7 million as of January 1, 2017, representing accumulated unrecognized tax expense from intercompany transfers between the Aimco Operating Partnership and TRS entities. Such amounts were included in other assets within our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016.

Also effective January 1, 2017, we adopted guidance that simplifies the accounting for share-based compensation. Under prior practice, tax benefits in excess of those associated with compensation cost recognized in accordance with GAAP, or windfalls, were recorded in equity and tax deficiencies were recorded in equity until previous windfalls had been recouped and then recognized in earnings. Under the new guidance, all of the tax effects related to share-based compensation are recognized through earnings. This guidance is applied to all windfalls and tax deficiencies resulting from settlements occurring after January 1, 2017. The new guidance also requires windfalls to be recorded in the period the related transaction triggering tax consequences, such as an exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares, occurs. This change in timing of recognition has been applied on a modified retrospective basis. We did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings on the date of adoption as there were no accumulated windfalls recorded in equity. Compared to prior periods, we may experience incremental volatility in income tax benefit or expense resulting from the recognition in earnings of windfall benefits or deficiencies upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares.
