4.Please tell us what consideration you gave to enhancing your disclosure regarding the
nature of your increase in restricted cash during the period, including but not limited to the
amount of the increase that relates to the requirement to pledge additional cash as
collateral for properties you have owned for extended periods. In addition, we note your
disclosure on page 41 that states, "[t]he increase in our restricted cash balance of $570
million as compared to December 31, 2022 was a result of the proactive reduction of our
acquisition pace via higher spreads embedded in our offers and lower marketing
investment, resulting in greater restricted cash available for the future acquisition of real
estate inventory." Please clarify for us how this assertion is representative of the increase
in restricted cash during the period.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Paul Cline at 202-551-3851 or Jennifer Monick at 202-551-3295 with any
