- **Move-in Rates**: October move-in rates +14% YoY (vs. +4.9% Q3), with discounts reducing impact to ~1.5pts. 
- **Demand Drivers**: Housing market recovery could boost Sun Belt markets, but no immediate impact from mortgage rates. 
- **Dividend Outlook**: Confident in trajectory to return payout ratio below 100% as FFO growth resumes. 
- **ECRI Cadence**: Testing new strategies but maintaining core cadence, with magnitude improving YoY.
