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 Annual 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 rates and 
property operating results and the effect of acquisitions and redevelopments. 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: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that our cash flows from operations may be 
insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; earnings may not be sufficient to maintain compliance with debt covenants; real 
estate 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 terms of 
governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; the timing of 
acquisitions and dispositions; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; litigation, 
including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; energy costs; and possible environmental liabilities, 
including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned 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 this Annual Report and the other documents 
we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  

Item 1.   

Business 

The Company  

PART I  

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to 
our stockholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective is described in the Business Overview section. 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO 
Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2010, we held an interest of approximately 93% in the 
common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all 
of our 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, high performance partnership units and partnership preferred units, 
which we refer to as common OP Units, High Performance Units and preferred OP Units, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 117,642,872 shares of our 
Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 8,470,013 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding for a 
combined total of 126,112,885 shares of Common Stock, common partnership units and equivalents outstanding. 

Since our initial public offering in July 1994, we have completed numerous transactions, including purchases of properties and interests in 
entities that own or manage properties, expanding our portfolio of owned or managed properties from 132 properties with 29,343 apartment units to a 
peak of over 2,100 properties with 379,000 apartment units. As of December 31, 2010, our portfolio of owned and/or managed properties consists of 768 
properties with 122,694 apartment units.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their 
consolidated entities, collectively. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a 
limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company.  

Business Overview  

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our stockholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective 

is to: 

•   own and operate a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily class “B/B+” assets with properties concentrated in the 20 largest markets in the 
United States (as measured by total apartment value, which is the estimated total market value of apartment properties in a particular market); 

•   improve our portfolio by selling assets with lower projected returns and reinvesting those proceeds through the purchase of new assets or 

additional investment in existing assets in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment; and 

•   provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity. 

Our business is organized around two core activities: Property Operations and Portfolio Management. We continue to simplify our business, 
including de-emphasizing transactional based activity fees and a corresponding reduction in personnel involved in those activities. Our core activities, 
along with our financial strategy, are described in more detail below. 

Property Operations  

Our owned real estate portfolio is comprised of two business components: conventional and affordable property operations, which also 
comprise our reportable segments. Our conventional property operations consist of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and 
included 219 properties with 68,972 units as of December 31, 2010. Our affordable property operations consist of apartments with rents that are 
generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency and consisted of 228 properties with 26,540 units as of December 31, 2010. Affordable 
properties tend to have relatively more stable rents and higher occupancy due to government rent payments and thus are much less affected by market 
fluctuations. Our conventional and affordable properties generated 87% and 13%, respectively, of our proportionate property net operating income (as 
defined in Item 7) during the year ended December 31, 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our conventional portfolio monthly rents 
averaged $1,052 and provided 62% operating margins. These average rents increased about 1% from average rents of $1,042 for the three months 
ended December 31, 2009. 

Our property operations currently are organized into five geographic areas. To manage our nationwide portfolio more efficiently and to increase 
the benefits from our local management expertise, we have given direct responsibility for operations within each area to an area operations leader with 
regular senior management reviews. To enable the area operations leaders to focus on sales and service, as well as to improve financial control and 
budgeting, we have dedicated an area financial officer to support each area operations leader, and with the exception of routine maintenance, our 
specialized Construction Services group manages all on-site capital spending, thus reducing the need for the area operations leaders to spend time on 
oversight of construction projects. 

We seek to improve our oversight of property operations by: upgrading systems; standardizing business processes, operational measurements 

and internal reporting; and enhancing financial controls over field operations. Our objectives are to focus on the areas discussed below:  

•   Customer Service.  Our operating culture is focused on our residents. Our goal is to provide our residents with consistent service in clean, 

safe and attractive communities. We evaluate our performance through a customer satisfaction tracking system. In addition, we emphasize the 
quality of our on-site employees through recruiting, training and retention programs, which we believe contributes to improved customer 
service and leads to increased occupancy rates and enhanced operational performance.

Table of Contents

•   Resident Selection and Retention.  In apartment properties, neighbors are a meaningful part of the product, together with the location of the 
property and the physical quality of the apartment units. Part of our property operations strategy is to focus on resident acquisition and 
retention — attracting and retaining credit-worthy residents who are good neighbors. We have structured goals and coaching for all of our 
sales personnel, a tracking system for inquiries and a standardized renewal communication program. We have standardized residential 
financial stability requirements and have policies and monitoring practices to maintain our resident quality. 

•   Revenue Management.  For our conventional properties, we have a centralized revenue management system that leverages people, processes 

and technology to work in partnership with our area operational management teams to develop rental rate pricing. We seek to increase 
revenue and net operating income by optimizing the balance between rental and occupancy rates, as well as taking into consideration the 
cost of preparing an apartment unit for a new tenant. We are also focused on careful measurements of on-site operations, as we believe that 
timely and accurate collection of property performance and resident profile data will enable us to maximize revenue through better property 
management and leasing decisions, as well as the automation of certain aspects of on-site operations, to enable our on-site employees to 
focus more of their time on customer service. We have standardized policies for new and renewal pricing with timely data and analyses by 
floor-plan, thereby enabling us to respond quickly to changing supply and demand for our product and maximize rental revenue. 

•   Controlling Expenses.  Cost controls are accomplished by local focus at the area level; taking advantage of economies of scale at the 

corporate level; and through electronic procurement. 

•   Ancillary Services.  We believe that our ownership and management of properties provide us with unique access to a customer base that 

allows us to provide additional services and thereby increase occupancy and rents, while also generating incremental revenue. We currently 
provide cable television, telephone services, appliance rental, and carport, garage and storage space rental at certain properties. 

•   Maintaining and Improving Property Quality.  We believe that the physical condition and amenities of our apartment properties are 

important factors in our ability to maintain and increase rental rates. In 2010, for properties included in continuing operations, we invested 
$74.7 million, or $848 per owned apartment unit, in Capital Replacements, which represent the share of additions that are deemed to replace the 
consumed portion of acquired capital assets. Additionally, for properties included in continuing operations, we invested $45.4 million, or $515 
per owned apartment unit, in Capital Improvements, which are non-redevelopment capital additions that are made to enhance the value, 
profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition. 

Portfolio Management  

Portfolio Management involves the ongoing allocation of investment capital to meet our geographic and product type goals. We target 

geographic balance in Aimco’s diversified portfolio in order to optimize risk-adjusted returns and to avoid the risk of undue concentration in any 
particular market. We also seek to balance the portfolio by product type, with both high quality properties in excellent locations and also high land 
value properties that support redevelopment activities. 

Our geographic allocation strategy focuses on the 20 largest markets in the United States (as measured by total apartment value) to reduce 

volatility in and our dependence on particular areas of the country. We believe these markets are deep, relatively liquid and possess desirable long-
term growth characteristics. They are primarily coastal markets, and also include a number of Sun Belt cities and Chicago, Illinois. We may also invest 
in other markets on an opportunistic basis. We expect that increased geographic focus will also add to our investment knowledge and increase 
operating efficiencies based on local economies of scale. 

Our portfolio strategy also focuses on asset type and quality. Our target allocation of capital to conventional and affordable properties is 90% 
and 10%, respectively, of our Net Asset Value, which is the estimated fair value of our assets, net of liabilities and preferred equity. For conventional 
assets, we focus on the ownership of primarily B/B+ assets. We measure conventional property asset quality based on average rents compared to 
local market 

4 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

average rents as reported by a third-party provider of commercial real estate performance and analysis, with A-quality assets earning rents greater than 
125% of local market average, B-quality assets earning rents 90% to 125% of local market average and C-quality assets earning rents less than 90% of 
local market average. 

Portfolio management involves strategic portfolio and capital allocation decisions such as transactions to buy or sell properties, or modify our 

ownership interest in properties, including the use of partnerships and joint ventures, or to increase our investment in existing properties through 
redevelopment. We generally seek to sell assets with lower projected returns, which are often in markets less desirable than our target markets, and 
reinvest those proceeds through the purchase of new assets or additional investment in existing assets in our portfolio. The purpose of these 
transactions is to adjust our investments to reflect decisions regarding target allocations to geographic markets and between conventional and 
affordable properties. 

We believe redevelopment of certain properties in superior locations provides advantages over ground-up development, enabling us to generate 

rents comparable to new properties with lower financial risk, in less time and with reduced delays associated with governmental permits and 
authorizations. We believe redevelopment also provides superior risk adjusted returns with lower volatility compared to ground-up development. 
Redevelopment work may also include seeking entitlements from local governments, which enhance the value of our existing portfolio by increasing 
density, that is, the right to add residential units to a site. We have historically undertaken a range of redevelopment projects: from those in which a 
substantial number of all available units are vacated for significant renovations to the property, to those in which there is significant renovation, such 
as exteriors, common areas or unit improvements, typically done upon lease expirations without the need to vacate units on any wholesale or 
substantial basis. We have a specialized Redevelopment and Construction Services group to oversee these projects. 

During 2010, we increased our allocation of capital to our target markets by disposing of 24 conventional properties located primarily outside of 

our target markets or in less desirable locations within our target markets and by investing $26.4 million in redevelopment of conventional properties 
included in continuing operations. As of December 31, 2010, our conventional portfolio included 219 properties with 68,972 units in 38 markets. As of 
December 31, 2010, conventional properties comprised 88% of our Net Asset Value and conventional properties in our target markets comprised 88% 
of the Net Asset Value attributable to our conventional properties. Our top five markets by net operating income contribution include the metropolitan 
areas of Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  

During 2010, we invested $3.1 million in redevelopment of affordable properties included in continuing operations, funded primarily by proceeds 

from the sale of tax credits to institutional partners. As with conventional properties, we also seek to dispose of affordable properties that are 
inconsistent with our long-term investment and operating strategies. During 2010, we sold 27 properties from our affordable portfolio. As of 
December 31, 2010, our affordable portfolio included 228 properties with 26,540 units and our affordable properties comprised 12% of our Net Asset 
Value. 

Financial Strategy  

Our leverage strategy seeks to balance increasing financial returns with the risks inherent with leverage. At December 31, 2010, approximately 

86% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt and 13% consisted of perpetual preferred equity, 
a combination which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk. At December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding corporate level debt. Our leverage 
strategy limits refunding risk on our property-level debt. At December 31, 2010, the weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 7.8 years, 
with 2% of our debt maturing in 2011, less than 9% maturing in 2012, and on average approximately 7% maturing in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Long 
duration, fixed-rate liabilities provide a hedge against increases in interest rates and inflation. Approximately 91% of our property-level debt is fixed-
rate. Of the $104.9 million of property debt maturing during 2011, we completed the refinance of $79.4 million in February 2011, and we are focusing on 
refinancing our property debt maturing during 2012 through 2015 to extend maturities and lock in current low interest rates.  

During 2010, we repaid the remaining $90.0 million on our term loan. We also expanded our credit facility from $180.0 million to $300.0 million, 

providing additional liquidity for short-term or unexpected cash

requirements. As of December 31, 2010, we had the capacity to borrow $260.3 million pursuant to our credit facility (after giving effect to $39.7 million 
outstanding for undrawn letters of credit). The revolving credit facility matures May 1, 2013, and may be extended for an additional year, subject to 
certain conditions. 

Competition  

In attracting and retaining residents to occupy our properties we compete with numerous other housing alternatives. Our properties compete 
directly with other rental apartments as well as condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent or purchase in the markets in which 
our properties are located. Principal factors of competition include rent or price charged, attractiveness of the location and property and quality and 
breadth of services. The number of competitive properties relative to demand in a particular area has a material effect on our ability to lease apartment 
units at our properties and on the rents we charge. In certain markets there exists an oversupply of single family homes and condominiums and a 
reduction of households, both of which affect the pricing and occupancy of our rental apartments. 

We also compete with other real estate investors, including other apartment REITs, pension and investment funds, partnerships and investment 
companies in acquiring, redeveloping, managing, obtaining financing for and disposing of apartment properties. This competition affects our ability to: 
acquire properties we want to add to our portfolio and the price that we pay in such acquisitions; finance or refinance properties in our portfolio and 
the cost of such financing; and dispose of properties we no longer desire to retain in our portfolio and the timing and price for which we dispose of 
such properties. 

Taxation  

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, commencing with 

our taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intend to continue to operate in such a manner. Our current and continuing qualification as a REIT 
depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, which relate to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of 
stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will generally 
not be subject to United States Federal corporate income tax on our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment 
substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation.  

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to United States Federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on our 
undistributed income. We also will be required to pay a 100% tax on any net income on non-arm’s length transactions between us and a TRS 
(described below) and on any net income from sales of property that was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course. We and our 
stockholders may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or our 
stockholders reside. In addition, we could also be subject to the alternative minimum tax, or AMT, on our items of tax preference. The state and local 
tax laws may not conform to the United States Federal income tax treatment. Any taxes imposed on us reduce our operating cash flow and net income.  

Certain of our operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management are conducted through 

taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and, as such, is subject to 
United States Federal corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents and 
investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. We also use TRS entities to hold investments in certain properties.  

The recently enacted Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 extends the 2001 and 2003 tax rates for 

taxpayers that are taxable as individuals, trusts and estates through 2012, including the maximum 35% tax rate on ordinary income and the maximum 
15% tax rate for long-term capital gains and qualified dividend income. Dividends paid by REITs will generally not constitute qualified dividend income 
eligible for the 15% tax rate for stockholders that are taxable as individuals, trusts and estates and will generally be taxable at the higher ordinary 
income tax rates.

Regulation  

General  

Apartment properties and their owners are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including those related to real estate broker 

licensing and regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, activity centers and other common areas. Changes in laws 
increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, as 
well as changes in laws affecting development, construction and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which 
would adversely affect our net income and cash flows from operating activities. In addition, future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws, 
such as legislation that has been considered in New York, or other laws regulating multifamily housing may reduce rental revenue or increase 
operating costs in particular markets. 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act, was signed into federal law. The provisions of the 

Act include new regulations for over-the-counter derivatives and substantially increased regulation and risk of liability for credit rating agencies, all of 
which could increase our cost of capital. The Act also includes provisions concerning corporate governance and executive compensation which, 
among other things, require additional executive compensation disclosures and enhanced independence requirements for board compensation 
committees and related advisors, as well as provide explicit authority for the Securities and Exchange Commission to adopt proxy access, all of which 
could result in additional expenses in order to maintain compliance. The Act is wide-ranging, and the provisions are broad with significant discretion 
given to the many and varied agencies tasked with adopting and implementing the Act. The majority of the provisions of the Act do not go into effect 
immediately and may be adopted and implemented over many months or years. As such, we cannot predict the full impact of the Act on our financial 
condition or results of operations. 

Environmental  

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, 
of certain potentially hazardous materials present on a property. These materials may include lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, 
and petroleum-based fuels, among other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator 
knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, 
we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future. 
These and other risks related to environmental matters are described in more detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”  

Insurance  

Our primary lines of insurance coverage are property, general liability, and workers’ compensation. We believe that our insurance coverages 

adequately insure our properties against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, terrorism and other perils, and 
adequately insure us against other risk. Our coverage includes deductibles, retentions and limits that are customary in the industry. We have 
established loss prevention, loss mitigation, claims handling and litigation management procedures to manage our exposure.  

Employees  

At December 31, 2010, we had approximately 3,100 employees, of which approximately 2,400 were at the property level, performing various 

on-site functions, with the balance managing corporate and area operations, including investment and debt transactions, legal, financial reporting, 
accounting, information systems, human resources and other support functions. As of December 31, 2010, unions represented 103 of our employees. 
We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe we maintain satisfactory relations with our employees.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors 

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report, describe certain risks and uncertainties that could 

cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.  

Our existing and future debt financing could render us unable to operate, result in foreclosure on our properties, prevent us from making 
distributions on our equity or otherwise adversely affect our liquidity.  

We are subject to the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk 
that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If 
we fail to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, our lenders could foreclose on the properties and other collateral securing 
such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to us. As of December 31, 2010, substantially all of the properties that we owned or 
controlled were encumbered by debt. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of debt that we may incur, and we have significant 
amounts of debt outstanding. Payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties or pay 
distributions required to be paid in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. 

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect 
our liquidity.  

Our ability to obtain financing and the cost of such financing depends on the overall condition of the United States credit markets and, to an 
important extent, on the level of involvement of certain government sponsored entities, specifically, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or 
Freddie Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, in secondary credit markets. In recent years, the United States credit 
markets (outside of multi-family) experienced significant liquidity disruptions, which caused the spreads on debt financings to widen considerably and 
made obtaining financing, both non-recourse property debt and corporate borrowings, such as our term loan or revolving credit facility, more difficult.  

During 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA, placed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into, and they currently remain under, 
conservatorship. In February 2011, the Obama Administration presented Congress with a set of proposals regarding the Federal government’s future 
role in the housing finance market, each of which included the winding down of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac’s and Fannie Mae’s future 
relationship with the Federal government and their future role in the financial markets is uncertain. Any significant reduction in Freddie Mac’s or 
Fannie Mae’s level of involvement in the secondary credit markets may adversely affect our ability to obtain non-recourse property debt financing. 
Additionally, further or prolonged disruptions in the credit markets may also affect our ability to renew our credit facility with similar commitments or 
the cost of financing when it matures in May 2014 (inclusive of a one year extension option). 

If our ability to obtain financing is adversely affected, we may be unable to satisfy scheduled maturities on existing financing through other 

sources of liquidity, which could result in lender foreclosure on the properties securing such debt and loss of income and asset value, each of which 
would adversely affect our liquidity.

Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense and reduce our profitability.  

As of December 31, 2010, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $470.3 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding and 

$57.0 million of variable rate preferred stock outstanding. Of the total debt subject to variable interest rates, floating rate tax-exempt bond financing was 
approximately $374.4 million. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets 
Association Municipal Swap Index, or SIFMA, rate, which since 1989 has averaged 75% of the 30-day LIBOR rate. If this historical relationship 
continues, we estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points (75 basis points for tax-exempt interest rates) with constant credit risk 
spreads would result in net income and net income attributable to Aimco common stockholders being reduced (or the amounts of net loss and net loss 
attributable to Aimco common stockholders being increased) by $3.9 million on an annual basis. 

At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $450.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable, a portion of which 

bear interest at variable rates indexed to LIBOR-based rates, and which may mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate 
indebtedness and preferred stock discussed above. 

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may adversely affect our liquidity, limit our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures 
or adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.  

Our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on our properties depends on, among other things, our ability to generate net operating 
income in excess of required debt payments. If we are unable to fund capital expenditures on our properties, we may not be able to preserve the 
competitiveness of our properties, which could adversely affect our net operating income. 

Our ability to make payments to our investors depends on our ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and 

capital expenditure requirements. Our net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond our control, 
including: 

•   the general economic climate; 

•   an inflationary environment in which the costs to operate and maintain our properties increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase 

rents which we can only do upon renewal of existing leases or at the inception of new leases; 

•   competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; 

•   local conditions, such as loss of jobs, unemployment rates or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment 

occupancy or rental rates; 

•   changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; 

•   changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and 

•   changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. 

Covenant restrictions may limit our ability to make payments to our investors.  

Some of our debt and other securities contain covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors unless 

certain financial tests or other criteria are satisfied. Our credit facility provides, among other things, that we may make distributions to our investors 
during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount that does not exceed the greater of 95% of our Funds From Operations for such 
period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain our REIT status. Our outstanding classes of 
preferred stock prohibit the payment of dividends on our Common Stock if we fail to pay the dividends to which the holders of the preferred stock are 
entitled.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate.  

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and cannot always be sold quickly. REIT tax rules also restrict our ability to sell properties. Thus, 

we may not be able to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other market conditions. Our ability to dispose of assets in 
the future will depend on prevailing economic and market conditions, including the cost and availability of financing. This could have a material 
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. 

Competition could limit our ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.  

Our apartment properties compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments, condominiums and single-
family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in 
a particular area could adversely affect our ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates. Recent challenges in the credit and 
housing markets have increased housing inventory that competes with our apartment properties. 

Our subsidiaries may be prohibited from making distributions and other payments to us.  

All of our properties are owned, and all of our operations are conducted, by the Aimco Operating Partnership and our other subsidiaries. As a 

result, we depend on distributions and other payments from the Aimco Operating Partnership and our other subsidiaries in order to satisfy our 
financial obligations and make payments to our investors. The ability of our subsidiaries to make such distributions and other payments depends on 
their earnings and cash flows and may be subject to statutory or contractual limitations. As an equity investor in our subsidiaries, our right to receive 
assets upon their liquidation or reorganization will be effectively subordinated to the claims of their creditors. To the extent that we are recognized as a 
creditor of such subsidiaries, our claims may still be subordinate to any security interest in or other lien on their assets and to any of their debt or other 
obligations that are senior to our claims. 

Redevelopment and construction risks could affect our profitability.  

We intend to continue to redevelop certain of our properties. These activities are subject to the following risks: 

•   we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third party 

permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of opportunities; 

•   we may incur costs that exceed our original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs, such as litigation; 

•   we may be unable to complete construction and lease up of a property on schedule, resulting in increased construction and financing costs 

and a decrease in expected rental revenues; 

•   occupancy rates and rents at a property may fail to meet our expectations for a number of reasons, including changes in market and economic 

conditions beyond our control and the development by competitors of competing communities; 

•   we may be unable to obtain financing with favorable terms, or at all, for the proposed development of a property, which may cause us to delay 

or abandon an opportunity; 

•   we may abandon opportunities that we have already begun to explore for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions 

or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, we may fail to recover expenses already incurred in exploring those 
opportunities; 

•   we may incur liabilities to third parties during the redevelopment process, for example, in connection with resident lease terminations, or 

managing existing improvements on the site prior to resident lease terminations; and 

10

•   loss of a key member of a project team could adversely affect our ability to deliver redevelopment projects on time and within our budget. 

We are insured for certain risks, and the cost of insurance, increased claims activity or losses resulting from casualty events may affect our 
operating results and financial condition.  

We are insured for a portion of our consolidated properties’ exposure to casualty losses resulting from fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood 

and other perils, which insurance is subject to deductibles and self-insurance retention. We recognize casualty losses or gains based on the net book 
value of the affected property and the amount of any related insurance proceeds. In many instances, the actual cost to repair or replace the property 
may exceed its net book value and any insurance proceeds. We also insure certain unconsolidated properties for a portion of their exposure to such 
losses. With respect to our consolidated properties, we recognize the uninsured portion of losses as part of casualty losses in the periods in which 
they are incurred. In addition, we are self-insured for a portion of our exposure to third-party claims related to our employee health insurance plans, 
workers’ compensation coverage and general liability exposure. With respect to our insurance obligations to unconsolidated properties and our 
exposure to claims of third parties, we establish reserves at levels that reflect our known and estimated losses. The ultimate cost of losses and the 
impact of unforeseen events may vary materially from recorded reserves, and variances may adversely affect our operating results and financial 
condition. We purchase insurance to reduce our exposure to losses and limit our financial losses on large individual risks. The availability and cost of 
insurance are determined by market conditions outside our control. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain and maintain insurance at 
the same levels and on the same terms as we do today. If we are not able to obtain or maintain insurance in amounts we consider appropriate for our 
business, or if the cost of obtaining such insurance increases materially, we may have to retain a larger portion of the potential loss associated with 
our exposures to risks. 

Natural disasters and severe weather may affect our operating results and financial condition.  

Natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes may result in significant damage to our properties. The extent of our casualty losses 

and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected 
area. When we have geographic concentration of exposures, a single catastrophe (such as an earthquake) or destructive weather event (such as a 
hurricane) affecting a region may have a significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot accurately predict 
natural disasters or severe weather, or the number and type of such events that will affect us. As a result, our operating and financial results may vary 
significantly from one period to the next. Although we anticipate and plan for losses, there can be no assurance that our financial results will not be 
adversely affected by our exposure to losses arising from natural disasters or severe weather in the future that exceed our previous experience and 
assumptions. 

We depend on our senior management.  

Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, including Terry Considine, our chief executive officer. We have a 
succession planning and talent development process that is designed to identify potential replacements and develop our team members to provide 
depth in the organization and a bench of talent on which to draw. However, there are no assurances that we would be able to find qualified 
replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services were no longer available. The loss of services of one or more 
members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do 
not currently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our employees.  

If we are not successful in our acquisition of properties, our results of operations could be adversely affected.  

The selective acquisition of properties is a component of our strategy. However, we may not be able to complete transactions successfully in the 

future. Although we seek to acquire properties when such acquisitions increase our property net operating income, Funds From Operations or Net 
Asset Value, such transactions may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations. In particular, following acquisition, the value and operational  

11 

 
 
Table of Contents

performance of a property may be diminished if obsolescence or neighborhood changes occur before we are able to redevelop or sell the property.  

We may be subject to litigation associated with partnership transactions that could increase our expenses and prevent completion of beneficial 
transactions.  

We have engaged in, and intend to continue to engage in, the selective acquisition of interests in partnerships controlled by us that own 

apartment properties. In some cases, we have acquired the general partner of a partnership and then made an offer to acquire the limited partners’ 
interests in the partnership. In these transactions, we may be subject to litigation based on claims that we, as the general partner, have breached our 
fiduciary duty to our limited partners or that the transaction violates the relevant partnership agreement or state law. Although we intend to comply 
with our fiduciary obligations and the relevant partnership agreements, we may incur additional costs in connection with the defense or settlement of 
this type of litigation. In some cases, this type of litigation may adversely affect our desire to proceed with, or our ability to complete, a particular 
transaction. Any litigation of this type could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.  

Government housing regulations may limit the opportunities at some of our properties and failure to comply with resident qualification 
requirements may result in financial penalties and/or loss of benefits, such as rental revenues paid by government agencies. Additionally, the 
government may cease to operate government housing programs which would result in a loss of benefits.  

We own consolidated and unconsolidated equity interests in certain properties and manage other properties that benefit from governmental 

programs intended to provide housing to people with low or moderate incomes. These programs, which are usually administered by the 
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, or state housing finance agencies, typically provide one or more of the following: 
mortgage insurance; favorable financing terms; tax-credit equity; or rental assistance payments to the property owners. As a condition of the receipt 
of assistance under these programs, the properties must comply with various requirements, which typically limit rents to pre-approved amounts and 
limit our choice of residents to those with incomes at or below certain levels. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in financial penalties 
or loss of benefits. We are usually required to obtain the approval of HUD in order to acquire or dispose of a significant interest in or manage a HUD-
assisted property. We may not always receive such approval. 

Additionally, there is no guarantee that the government will continue to operate these programs. Any cessation of these government housing 

programs may result in our loss of the benefits we receive under these programs, including rental subsidies. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, for continuing 
operations, our rental revenues include $131.4 million, $126.9 million and $119.5 million, respectively, of subsidies from government agencies. Of the 
2010 subsidy amounts, approximately 10.7% related to properties subject to housing assistance contracts that expire in 2011, which we anticipate 
renewing, and the remainder related to properties subject to housing assistance contracts that expire after 2011 and have a weighted average term of 
10.8 years. Any loss of these benefits may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. 

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in our incurrence of unanticipated expenses.  

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal 
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first 
occupied after March 13, 1991, to comply with design and construction requirements for disabled access. For those projects receiving Federal funds, 
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also has requirements regarding disabled access. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require 
modifications to our properties, or affect renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an 
award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital 
expenditures. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, we may incur unanticipated expenses 
to comply with the ADA, the FHAA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in connection with the ongoing operation or redevelopment of our properties.

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.  

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, 

of certain potentially hazardous materials present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based 
fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible 
for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect 
occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with 
investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection 
therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability 
or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of these materials through a licensed disposal or 
treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose 
liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation 
and management of properties, we could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties 
we acquire or manage in the future. 

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.  

Although we are proactively engaged in managing moisture intrusion and preventing the presence of mold at our properties, it is not unusual for 
mold to be present at some units within the portfolio. We have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training, and include a detailed 
moisture intrusion and mold assessment during acquisition due diligence. We believe these measures will manage mold exposure at our properties and 
will minimize the effects that mold may have on our residents. To date, we have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold 
exposure or to abate mold conditions. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage claims arising from the presence of mold and for 
personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change, we can make no assurance that 
liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of 
operations. 

We may fail to qualify as a REIT.  

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to our stockholders in computing our taxable income, and we 

will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. This would substantially reduce our 
funds available for distribution to our investors. Unless entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, we also would be disqualified from 
taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. In addition, our failure to qualify as a REIT 
would place us in default under our primary credit facilities. 

We believe that we operate, and have always operated, in a manner that enables us to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT for 
Federal income tax purposes. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, investment, organizational, 
distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of 
the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we do not obtain independent 
appraisals. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to manage successfully the 
composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Moreover, the proper classification of an instrument as debt or equity for Federal income 
tax purposes may be uncertain in some circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT qualification requirements. Accordingly, there 
can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not contend that our interests in subsidiaries or other issuers constitutes a 
violation of the REIT requirements. Moreover, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, or 
our Board of Directors may determine to revoke our REIT status. 

13

REIT distribution requirements limit our available cash.  

As a REIT, we are subject to annual distribution requirements, which generally limit the amount of cash we retain for other business purposes, 
including amounts to fund our growth. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital 
gain, in order for our distributed earnings not to be subject to corporate income tax. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply 
with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could 
require us to sell assets or borrow funds on a short-term or long-term basis to meet the 90% distribution requirement of the Code.  

Limits on ownership of shares in our charter may result in the loss of economic and voting rights by purchasers that violate those limits.  

Our charter limits ownership of our Common Stock by any single stockholder (applying certain “beneficial ownership” rules under the Federal 
securities laws) to 8.7% (or up to 9.8% upon a waiver from our Board of Directors) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or 15% in the case of 
certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. Our charter also limits ownership of our Common Stock and preferred 
stock by any single stockholder to 8.7% of the value of the outstanding Common Stock and preferred stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension 
trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. The charter also prohibits anyone from buying shares of our capital stock if the purchase 
would result in us losing our REIT status. This could happen if a transaction results in fewer than 100 persons owning all of our shares of capital stock 
or results in five or fewer persons (applying certain attribution rules of the Code) owning 50% or more of the value of all of our shares of capital stock. 
If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit or in violation of the ownership requirements of the Code for REITs:  

•   the transfer will be considered null and void; 

•   we will not reflect the transaction on our books; 

•   we may institute legal action to enjoin the transaction; 

•   we may demand repayment of any dividends received by the affected person on those shares; 

•   we may redeem the shares; 

•   the affected person will not have any voting rights for those shares; and 

•   the shares (and all voting and dividend rights of the shares) will be held in trust for the benefit of one or more charitable organizations 

designated by us. 

We may purchase the shares of capital stock held in trust at a price equal to the lesser of the price paid by the transferee of the shares or the 
then current market price. If the trust transfers any of the shares of capital stock, the affected person will receive the lesser of the price paid for the 
shares or the then current market price. An individual who acquires shares of capital stock that violate the above rules bears the risk that the 
individual: 

•   may lose control over the power to dispose of such shares; 

•   may not recognize profit from the sale of such shares if the market price of the shares increases; 

•   may be required to recognize a loss from the sale of such shares if the market price decreases; and 

•   may be required to repay to us any distributions received from us as a result of his or her ownership of the shares. 

Our charter may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.  

The 8.7% ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of delaying or precluding acquisition of control of us by a third party without the 
consent of our Board of Directors. Our charter authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 510,587,500 shares of capital stock. As of December 31, 
2010, 422,157,736 shares were classified as Common Stock, of which 117,642,872 were outstanding, and 88,429,764 shares were classified as preferred 
stock, 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

of which 24,900,114 were outstanding. Under our charter, our Board of Directors has the authority to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares 
of capital stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers restrictions, limitations as to dividends, 
qualifications or terms or conditions of redemptions as our Board of Directors may determine. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital 
stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best 
interests. 

The Maryland General Corporation Law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.  

As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various Maryland laws that may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and 
increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if an acquisition would be in our stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General 
Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland Business Combination Act, restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between us and 
any person who acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of shares of our stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without our 
Board of Directors’ prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such 
voting power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 662/3% of the votes entitled to 
be cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. The Maryland General Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland 
Control Share Acquisition Act, provides generally that a person who acquires shares of our capital stock representing 10% or more of the voting 
power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote. Additionally, the 
Maryland General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that the board of directors has broad discretion in adopting stockholders’ rights 
plans and has the sole power to fix the record date, time and place for special meetings of the stockholders. To date, we have not adopted a 
shareholders’ rights plan. In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that corporations that:  

•   have at least three directors who are not officers or employees of the entity or related to an acquiring person; and 

•   has a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 

may elect in their charter or bylaws or by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to all or part of a special subtitle that provides that:  

•   the corporation will have a staggered board of directors; 

•   any director may be removed only for cause and by the vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors 

generally, even if a lesser proportion is provided in the charter or bylaws; 

•   the number of directors may only be set by the board of directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws; 

•   vacancies may only be filled by the remaining directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws; and 

•   the secretary of the corporation may call a special meeting of stockholders at the request of stockholders only on the written request of the 
stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, even if the procedure is contrary to the 
charter or bylaws. 

To date, we have not made any of the elections described above.

At December 31, 2010, we owned an equity interest in and consolidated 399 properties containing 89,875 apartment units, which we refer to as 

“consolidated properties.” These consolidated properties contain, on average, 225 apartment units, with the largest property containing 2,113 
apartment units. These properties offer residents a range of amenities, including swimming pools, clubhouses, spas, fitness centers, dog parks and 
open spaces. Many of the apartment units offer features such as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, washer and dryer connections, cable television, balconies 
and patios. Additional information on our consolidated properties is contained in “Schedule III — Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” in this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K. At December 31, 2010, we held an equity interest in and did not consolidate 48 properties containing 5,637 apartment 
units, which we refer to as “unconsolidated properties.” In addition, we provided property management services for 20 properties containing 2,373 
apartment units, and asset management services for 301 properties containing 24,809 apartment units. In certain cases, we may indirectly own generally 
less than one percent of the economic interest in such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund. 

Substantially all of our consolidated properties are encumbered by property debt. At December 31, 2010, our consolidated properties were 
encumbered by aggregate property debt totaling $5,457.8 million having an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 5.52%. Such property debt was 
collateralized by 388 properties with a combined net book value of $6,443.9 million. Included in the 388 properties, we had a total of 16 property loans 
on 13 properties, with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $294.8 million, that were each collateralized by property and cross-collateralized 
with certain (but not all) other property loans within this group of property loans (see Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for 
additional information about our property debt).

Our Board of Directors determines and declares our dividends. In making a dividend determination, the Board of Directors considers a variety of 

factors, including: REIT distribution requirements; current market conditions; liquidity needs and other uses of cash, such as for deleveraging and 
accretive investment activities. In February 2011, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on our Class A Common Stock for 
the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Our Board of Directors anticipates similar per share quarterly dividends for the remainder of 2011. However, the 
Board of Directors may adjust the dividend amount or the frequency with which the dividend is paid based on then prevailing facts and circumstances.  

On February 22, 2011, the closing price of our Common Stock was $24.24 per share, as reported on the NYSE, and there were 118,131,892 shares 
of Common Stock outstanding, held by 2,943 stockholders of record. The number of holders does not include individuals or entities who beneficially 
own shares but whose shares are held of record by a broker or clearing agency, but does include each such broker or clearing agency as one 
recordholder. 

As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to holders of common stock at least 90% of our “real estate investment trust taxable income,” 

which, as defined by the Code and United States Department of Treasury regulations, is generally equivalent to net taxable ordinary income.  

From time to time, we may issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for common and preferred OP Units tendered to the Aimco Operating 

Partnership for redemption in accordance with the terms and provisions of the agreement of limited partnership of the Aimco Operating Partnership. 
Such shares are issued based on an exchange ratio of one share for each common OP Unit or the applicable conversion ratio for preferred OP Units. 
The shares are generally issued in exchange for OP Units in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we did not issue any shares of Common Stock in 
exchange for common OP Units or preferred OP Units. 

Our Board of Directors has, from time to time, authorized us to repurchase shares of our outstanding capital stock. There were no repurchases of 

our equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, we were authorized to repurchase approximately 19.3 million 
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. 

Dividend Payments  

Our Credit Agreement includes customary covenants, including a restriction on dividends and other restricted payments, but permits dividends 

during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of

Performance Graph  

The following graph compares cumulative total returns for our Common Stock, the MSCI US REIT Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Total 
Return Index (the “S&P 500”). The MSCI US REIT Index is published by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc., a provider of equity indices. The 
indices are weighted for all companies that fit the definitional criteria of the particular index and are calculated to exclude companies as they are 
acquired and add them to the index calculation as they become publicly traded companies. All companies of the definitional criteria in existence at the 
point in time presented are included in the index calculations. The graph assumes the investment of $100 in our Common Stock and in each index on 
December 31, 2005, and that all dividends paid have been reinvested. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future 
performance.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Executive Overview  

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and 

attractive returns to our stockholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective is to: 

•   own and operate a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily class “B/B+” assets with properties concentrated in the 20 largest markets in the 
United States (as measured by total apartment value, which is the estimated total market value of apartment properties in a particular market); 

•   improve our portfolio by selling assets with lower projected returns and reinvesting those proceeds through the purchase of new assets or 

additional investment in existing assets in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment; and 

•   provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity. 

Our owned real estate portfolio includes 219 conventional properties with 68,972 units and 228 affordable properties with 26,540 units. Our 
conventional and affordable properties comprise 88% and 12%, respectively, of our total property Net Asset Value. For the three months ended 
December 31, 2010, our conventional portfolio monthly rents averaged $1,052 and provided 62% operating margins. These average rents increased 
from $1,042 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Notwithstanding the economic challenges of the last several years, our diversified portfolio 
of conventional and affordable properties generated improved property operating results from 2007 to 2010. From 2007 to 2010, the net operating 
income of our same store properties and total real estate operations increased by 1.2% and 5.8%, respectively. 

We continue to work toward simplifying our business, including de-emphasizing transaction-based activity fees and, as a result, reducing the 
cost of personnel involved in those activities. Revenues from transactional activities decreased from $68.2 million during 2008 to $7.9 million during 
2010, and during 2010 transactional activities generated approximately 3.0% of our Pro forma Funds From Operations (defined below). Additionally, we 
have reduced our offsite costs by $16.8 million. Our 2010, 2009 and 2008 results are discussed in the Results of Operations section below.  

We upgrade the quality of our portfolio through the sale of assets with lower projected returns, which are often in markets less desirable than 

our target markets, and reinvest these proceeds through the purchase of new assets or additional investment in existing assets in our portfolio, 
through increased ownership or redevelopment. We prefer the redevelopment of select properties in our existing portfolio to ground-up development, 
as we believe it provides superior risk adjusted returns with lower volatility. 

Our leverage strategy focuses on increasing financial returns while minimizing risk. At December 31, 2010, approximately 86% of our leverage 

consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt and 13% consisted of perpetual preferred equity, a combination 
which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk. At December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding corporate level debt. Our leverage strategy limits 
refunding risk on our property-level debt. At December 31, 2010, the weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 7.8 years, with 2% of 
our debt maturing in 2011, less than 9% maturing in 2012, and on average approximately 7% maturing in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Long duration, 
fixed-rate liabilities provide a hedge against increases in interest rates and inflation. Approximately 91% of our property-level debt is fixed-rate. Of the 
$104.9 million of property debt maturing during 2011, we completed the refinance of $79.4 million in February 2011, and we are focusing on refinancing 
our property debt maturing during 2012 through 2015 to extend maturities and lock in current low interest rates.

During 2010, we repaid the remaining $90.0 million on our term loan. We also expanded our credit facility from $180.0 million to $300.0 million, 

providing additional liquidity for short-term or unexpected cash requirements. As of December 31, 2010, we had the capacity to borrow $260.3 million 
pursuant to our credit facility (after giving effect to $39.7 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit). The revolving credit facility matures May 1, 
2013, and may be extended for an additional year, subject to certain conditions. 

The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Net 

Asset Value; Pro forma Funds From Operations, which is Funds From Operations excluding operating real estate impairment losses and preferred 
equity redemption related amounts; Adjusted Funds From Operations, which is Pro forma Funds From Operations less spending for Capital 
Replacements; property net operating income, which is rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real 
estate taxes; proportionate property net operating income, which reflects our share of property net operating income of our consolidated and 
unconsolidated properties; same store property operating results; Free Cash Flow, which is net operating income less spending for Capital 
Replacements; Free Cash Flow internal rate of return; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. Funds From Operations 
is defined and further described in the section captioned “Funds From Operations.” The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that 
affect our financial condition and operating performance are: household formations; rates of job growth; single-family and multifamily housing starts; 
interest rates; and availability and cost of financing. 

Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our properties, the supply and demand for apartments influences our operating 
results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our properties and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and 
dispose of our apartment properties affect our operating results. Our cost of capital is affected by the conditions in the capital and credit markets and 
the terms that we negotiate for our equity and debt financings. 

Highlights of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, are summarized below: 

•   Average daily occupancy for our Conventional Same Store properties increased 200 basis points, from 94.1% in 2009 to 96.1% in 2010. 

•   Conventional Same Store revenues and expenses for 2010, decreased by 0.2% and 1.0%, respectively, as compared to 2009, resulting in a 0.2% 

increase in net operating income. 

•   Total Same Store revenues and expenses for 2010 increased by 0.2% and decreased by 0.8%, respectively, as compared to 2009, resulting in a 

0.8% increase in net operating income. 

•   Net operating income for our real estate portfolio (continuing operations) increased 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared 

to 2009. 

•   Property sales declined in 2010 as compared to 2009, as property sales completed through July 2010 allowed us to fully repay the remainder of 

our term debt. 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the 

accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 8. 

Results of Operations  

Overview  

2010 compared to 2009  

We reported net loss attributable to Aimco of $71.7 million and net loss attributable to Aimco common stockholders of $125.3 million for the year 

ended December 31, 2010, compared to net loss attributable to Aimco of $64.3 million and net loss attributable to Aimco common stockholders of 
$114.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, increases of $7.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively. These increases in net loss were 
principally due to the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail below: 

•   a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to a decrease in gains on dispositions of real estate due to fewer 

property sales in 2010 as compared to 2009; and 

22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

•   a decrease in asset management and tax credit revenues, primarily due to decreased amortization of deferred tax credit income and a de-

emphasis on transaction-based fees. 

The effects of these items on our operating results were partially offset by: 

•   an increase in net operating income of our properties included in continuing operations, reflecting improved operations; 

•   a decrease in provisions for losses on notes receivable, primarily due to the impairment during 2009 of our interest in Casden Properties; and 

•   a decrease in earnings allocated to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, primarily due to their share of the 

decrease in gains on disposition of consolidated real estate properties as discussed above. 

2009 compared to 2008  

We reported net loss attributable to Aimco of $64.3 million and net loss attributable to Aimco common stockholders of $114.8 million for the year 

ended December 31, 2009, compared to net income attributable to Aimco of $412.0 million and net income attributable to Aimco common stockholders 
of $351.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, decreases of $476.3 million and $466.1 million, respectively. These decreases in net income were 
principally due to the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail below: 

•   a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to a decrease in gains on dispositions of real estate due to fewer 

property sales in 2009 as compared to 2008; 

•   a decrease in gain on dispositions of unconsolidated real estate and other, primarily due to a large gain on the sale of an interest in an 

unconsolidated real estate partnership in 2008; 

•   an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, primarily related to completed redevelopments and capital additions placed in service 

for partial periods during 2008 or 2009; and 

•   a decrease in asset management and tax credit revenues, primarily due to a reduction in promote income, which is income earned in 

connection with the disposition of properties owned by our consolidated joint ventures. 

The effects of these items on our operating results were partially offset by: 

•   a decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily related to reductions in personnel and related expenses from our organizational 

restructuring activities during 2008 and 2009; 

•   impairment losses on real estate development assets in 2008, for which no similar impairments were recognized in 2009; and 

•   a decrease in earnings allocable to noncontrolling interests, primarily due to a decrease in the noncontrolling interests’ share of the decrease 

in gains on sales discussed above. 

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

Real Estate Operations  

Our real estate portfolio is comprised of two business components: conventional real estate operations and affordable real estate operations, 
which also represent our two reportable segments. Our conventional real estate portfolio consists of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the 
resident and includes 219 properties with 68,972 units. Our affordable real estate portfolio consists of 228 properties with 26,540 units, with rents that 
are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency. Our conventional and affordable properties contributed 87% and 13%, respectively, of 
proportionate property net operating income amounts during the year ended December 31, 2010. 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we consolidate certain properties in 

which we hold an insignificant economic interest and in some cases we do not consolidate other properties in which we have a significant economic 
interest. Due to the diversity of our economic ownership interests in our properties, our chief operating decision maker emphasizes proportionate 
property net 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. Accordingly, the results of operations of our conventional and affordable segments 
discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis. 

We do not include property management revenues and expenses or casualty related amounts in our assessment of segment performance. 
Accordingly, these items are not allocated to our segment results discussed below. The effects of these items on our real estate operations results are 
discussed below on a consolidated basis, that is, before adjustments for noncontrolling interests or our interest in unconsolidated real estate 
partnerships. 

The tables and discussions below reflect the proportionate results of our conventional and affordable segments and the consolidated results 
related to our real estate operations not allocated to segments for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands). The tables and 
discussions below exclude the results of operations for properties included in discontinued operations as of December 31, 2010. Refer to Note 17 in the 
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion regarding our reporting segments, including a reconciliation of these proportionate 
amounts to consolidated rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses. 

Conventional Real Estate Operations  

Our conventional segment consists of conventional properties we classify as same store, redevelopment and other conventional properties. 
Same store properties are properties we manage and that have reached and maintained a stabilized level of occupancy during the current and prior year 
comparable period. Redevelopment properties are those in which a substantial number of available units have been vacated for major renovations or 
have not been stabilized in occupancy for at least one year as of the earliest period presented, or for which other significant non-unit renovations are 
underway or have been complete for less than one year. Other conventional properties may include conventional properties that have significant rent 
control restrictions, acquisition properties, university housing properties and properties that are not multifamily, such as commercial properties or 
fitness centers. Our definitions of same store and redevelopment properties may result in these populations differing for the purpose of comparing 
2010 to 2009 results and 2009 to 2008 results.

Conventional same store net operating income increased by $0.9 million. This increase was attributable to a $2.4 million decrease in expense 
primarily due to a reduction during 2010 of previously estimated real estate tax obligations resulting from successful appeals settled during the period, 
and decreases in marketing expenses and unit turn costs, partially offset by increases in contract services, insurance and administrative costs. This 
decrease in expense was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in revenue, primarily due to lower average rent (approximately $34 per unit). The 
decrease in average rent was partially offset by a 200 basis point increase in average physical occupancy and higher utility reimbursement and 
miscellaneous income. Rental rates on new leases transacted during the year ended December 31, 2010, were 2.3% lower than expiring lease rates and 
renewal rates were 1.5% higher than expiring lease rates. 

The net operating income of our conventional redevelopment properties increased by $7.1 million, primarily due to a $5.8 million increase in 
revenue resulting from higher average physical occupancy and an increase in utility reimbursement and miscellaneous income, and a $1.3 million 
reduction in expense primarily related to marketing expenses, partially offset by higher insurance. 

Our other conventional net operating income increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to increases in both revenue and expense of approximately 

2.0%.

Our conventional same store net operating income decreased $16.3 million, or 4.3%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $15.4 million 

decrease in revenue, primarily due to a 2.5% decline in rental rates and a 90 basis point decrease in occupancy, partially offset by an increase in utility 
reimbursements and miscellaneous income. The decrease was also attributable to a $0.9 million increase in expense, primarily due to higher insurance 
and personnel costs, partially offset by lower administrative costs. 

Conventional redevelopment net operating income increased by $10.6 million, primarily due to an $11.5 million increase in revenue. Revenue 

increased due to more units in service at these properties during 2009 and an increase in utility reimbursements and miscellaneous income. This 
increase in revenue was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in expense, primarily related to higher real estate taxes, partially offset by lower 
administrative costs.

Our affordable segment proportionate property net operating income increased $4.8 million, or 7.7%, during the year ended December 31, 2009, as 

compared to 2008. Affordable same store net operating income increased $4.3 million, primarily due to increased revenue. Affordable same store 
revenue increased by $4.4 million, primarily due to higher average rent ($29 per unit), partially offset by lower average physical occupancy (56 basis 
points). The net operating income of our other affordable properties increased by $0.5 million, primarily due to an increase in revenues due to higher 
average rent ($43 per unit), partially offset by lower average occupancy. The increase in revenues was partially offset by an increase in expenses.  

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations  

Real estate operations net operating income amounts not attributed to our conventional or affordable segments include property management 
revenues and expenses and casualty losses, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our conventional or affordable segments 
for purposes of evaluating segment performance (see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009, property management revenues decreased by $2.2 million, from $5.1 million to 

$2.9 million, primarily due to the elimination of revenues related to properties consolidated during 2010 in connection with our adoption of revised 
accounting guidance regarding consolidation of variable interest entities (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8). For the year 
ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009, expenses not allocated to our conventional or affordable segments, including property management 
expenses and casualty losses, decreased by $3.2 million. Property management expenses decreased by $3.0 million, from $51.2 million to $48.2 million, 
primarily due to reductions in personnel and related costs attributed to our restructuring activities and casualty losses decreased by $0.2 million, from 
$9.8 million to $9.6 million. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 2008, property management revenues decreased by $1.3 million, from $6.4 million to 
$5.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in the number of managed properties due to asset sales. For the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 
2008, expenses not allocated to our conventional or affordable segments decreased by $16.5 million. Property management expenses decreased by 
$16.6 million, from $67.8 million to $51.2 million, primarily due to reductions in personnel and related costs attributed to our restructuring activities, and 
casualty losses increased by $0.1 million. 

Asset Management and Tax Credit Revenues  

We perform activities and services for consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, including portfolio strategy, capital allocation, 
joint ventures, tax credit syndication, acquisitions, dispositions and other transaction activities. These activities are conducted in part by our taxable 
subsidiaries, and the related net operating income may be subject to income taxes. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, asset management and tax credit revenues decreased 

$14.3 million. This decrease is attributable to an $8.7 million decrease in income related to our affordable housing tax credit syndication business. 
Approximately $3.8 million of this decrease is due to the delivery of historic credits during 2009 for which no comparable credits were delivered during 
2010, and the remainder of the decrease is primarily due to a reduction in amortization of deferred tax credit income. Asset management and tax credit 
revenues also decreased due to a $2.0 million decrease in current asset management fees due to the elimination of fees on newly consolidated 
properties, for which the benefit of these fees is now included in noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, a $1.9 million 
decrease in disposition and other fees we earn in connection with transactional activities, and a $1.7 million decrease in promote income, which is 
income earned in connection with the disposition of properties owned by our consolidated joint ventures. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, asset management and tax credit revenues decreased 

$49.0 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $42.8 million decrease in promote income due to fewer sales of joint venture assets in 2009, a 
$7.6 million decrease in other general partner transactional fees, and a $2.2 million decrease in asset management fees, partially offset by a $3.6 million 
increase in revenues related to our affordable housing tax credit syndication business, including syndication fees and other revenue earned in 
connection with these arrangements.

Investment Management Expenses  

Investment management expenses consist primarily of the costs of personnel that perform asset management and tax credit activities. For the 
year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, investment management expenses decreased $1.3 million. This decrease 
is primarily due to a $4.3 million reduction in personnel and related costs from our organizational restructurings, partially offset by a $3.0 million net 
increase in expenses, primarily related to our write off of previously deferred costs related to tax credit projects we recently abandoned.  

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, investment management expenses decreased $9.0 million, 
primarily due to reductions in personnel and related costs from our organizational restructurings (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in 
Item 8) and a reduction in transaction costs, which in 2008 include the retrospective application of SFAS 141(R). 

Depreciation and Amortization  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization decreased $1.6 million, or 

0.4%. This decrease was primarily due to depreciation adjustments recognized in 2009 to reduce the carrying amount of certain properties. This 
decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation primarily related to properties we consolidated during 2010 based on our adoption of 
revised accounting guidance regarding consolidation of variable interest entities (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8) and 
completed redevelopments and other capital projects recently placed in service. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, depreciation and amortization increased $51.2 million, or 

13.6%. This increase primarily consists of depreciation related to properties acquired during the latter part of 2008, completed redevelopments and 
other capital projects placed in service in the latter part of 2009. 

Provision for Impairment Losses on Real Estate Development Assets  

In connection with the preparation of our 2008 annual financial statements, we assessed the recoverability of our investment in our Lincoln Place 

property, located in Venice, California. Based upon the decline in land values in Southern California during 2008 and the expected timing of our 
redevelopment efforts, we determined that the total carrying amount of the property was no longer probable of full recovery and, accordingly, during 
the three months ended December 31, 2008, recognized an impairment loss of $85.4 million ($55.6 million net of tax). 

Similarly, we assessed the recoverability of our investment in Pacific Bay Vistas (formerly Treetops), a vacant property located in San Bruno, 

California, and determined that the carrying amount of the property was no longer probable of full recovery and, accordingly, we recognized an 
impairment loss of $5.7 million for this property during the three months ended December 31, 2008. 

The impairments discussed above totaled $91.1 million and are included in provisions for impairment losses on real estate development assets in 
our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in Item 8. We recognized no similar impairments on real estate 
development assets during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. 

General and Administrative Expenses  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses decreased 
$3.3 million, or 5.8%. This decrease is primarily attributable to net reductions in personnel and related expenses, partially offset by an increase in 
information technology outsourcing costs. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses decreased 
$23.7 million, or 29.5%. This decrease is primarily attributable to reductions in personnel and related expenses associated with our organizational 
restructurings (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8), pursuant to which we eliminated approximately 400, or 36%, of our offsite 
positions between December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009. 

28 

 
Table of Contents

As a result of our restructuring activities, our general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues has decreased from 6.8% in 

2008, to 5.0% in 2009 and 4.7% in 2010. 

Other Expenses, Net  

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

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, other expenses, net decreased by $5.0 million. During 

2009, we settled certain litigation matters resulting in a net expense in our operations, and in 2010 we settled certain litigation matters that resulted in a 
net gain in our operations. The effect of the expense in 2009 and gain in 2010 resulted in a $14.8 million decrease in other expenses, net from 2009 to 
2010. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the cost of our insurance (net of a reduction in the number of properties insured from 2009 to 
2010). 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, other expenses, net decreased by $6.8 million. The 
decrease is primarily attributable to a $5.4 million write-off during 2008 of certain communications hardware and capitalized costs in 2008, and a 
$5.3 million reduction in expenses of our self insurance activities, including a decrease in casualty losses on less than wholly owned properties from 
2008 to 2009. These decreases are partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in costs related to certain litigation matters.  

Restructuring Costs  

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized restructuring costs of $11.2 million, as compared to $22.8 million in the year ended 

December 31, 2008, related to our organizational restructurings, which are further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized no similar restructuring costs. 

Interest Income  

Interest income consists primarily of interest on notes receivable from non-affiliates and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, interest on 

cash and restricted cash accounts, and accretion of discounts on certain notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Transactions 
that result in accretion may occur infrequently and thus accretion income may vary from period to period. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, interest income increased $2.0 million, or 22.4%. Interest 
income increased during 2010 primarily due to an increase of accretion income related to a change in timing and amount of collection for certain of our 
discounted notes, including several notes that were repaid in advance of their maturity dates. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, interest income decreased $10.5 million, or 53.5%. Interest 
income decreased by $8.7 million due to lower interest rates on notes receivable, cash and restricted cash balances and lower average balances and by 
$4.1 million due to a decrease in accretion income related to our note receivable from Casden Properties LLC for which we ceased accretion following 
impairment of the note in 2008. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in accretion income related to other notes during the 
year ended December 31, 2008, resulting from a change in the timing and amount of collection. 

Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable  

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized net provisions for losses on notes receivable of $0.9 million, 
$21.5 million and $17.6 million, respectively. The provisions for losses on notes receivable for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, primarily 
consist of impairments related to our investment in Casden Properties LLC, which are discussed further below. 

As further discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we have an investment in Casden Properties LLC, an entity 

organized to acquire, re-entitle and develop land parcels in Southern California.  

29 

 
Table of Contents

Based upon the profit allocation agreement, we account for this investment as a note receivable. In connection with the preparation of our 2008 annual 
financial statements and as a result of a decline in land values in Southern California, we determined our recorded investment amount was not fully 
recoverable, and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $16.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax) during the three months ended December 31, 2008. 
In connection with the preparation of our 2009 annual financial statements and as a result of continued declines in land values in Southern California, 
we determined our then recorded investment amount was not fully recoverable, and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $20.7 million 
($12.4 million net of tax) during the three months ended December 31, 2009. 

In addition to the impairments related to Casden Properties LLC discussed above, we recognized provisions for losses on notes receivable 

totaling $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

Interest Expense  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, interest expense, which includes the amortization of 
deferred financing costs, increased by less than $0.1 million. Property related interest expense increased by $7.6 million, due to a $3.3 million increase 
related to properties newly consolidated in 2010 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of our adoption of 
ASU 2009-17) and an increase related to properties refinanced with higher average outstanding balances, partially offset by lower average rates. The 
increase in property related interest expense was substantially offset by a $7.6 million decrease in corporate interest expense, primarily due to a 
decrease in the average outstanding balance on our term loan, which we repaid during July 2010. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 0.3%. Property 
related interest expense increased by $20.5 million, primarily due to a $14.2 million decrease in capitalized interest due to a reduction in redevelopment 
during 2009, and an increase of $5.1 million related to properties refinanced with higher average rates, partially offset by lower average outstanding 
balances during 2009. The increase in property related interest expense was offset by a $19.4 million decrease in corporate interest expense, primarily 
due to lower average outstanding balances and lower average rates during 2009. 

Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships  

Equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate partnerships includes our share of net losses of our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, and 

may include impairment losses, gains or losses on the disposition of real estate assets or depreciation expense which generally exceeds the net 
operating income recognized by such unconsolidated partnerships. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate 

partnerships increased $11.7 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, certain of our consolidated investment partnerships, including 
those we consolidated in 2010 in connection with our adoption of ASU 2009-17, reduced by $9.8 million their investment balances related to 
unconsolidated low income housing tax credit partnerships based on a reduction in the remaining tax credits to be delivered. This increase in equity in 
losses was in addition to an increase in equity in losses from real estate operations due to an increase in the number of unconsolidated partnerships, 
resulting from our consolidation during 2010 of additional investment partnerships that hold investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. 
These losses had an insignificant effect on net loss attributable to Aimco during 2010 as substantially all of the results of these consolidated 
investment partnerships are attributed to the noncontrolling interests in these entities. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate 

partnerships increased $6.7 million. The increase in our equity in losses from 2008 to 2009 was primarily due to our sale in late 2008 of an interest in an 
unconsolidated real estate partnership that generated $3.0 million of equity in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2008, and our sale during 
2009 of our interest in an unconsolidated group purchasing organization which resulted in a decrease of equity in earnings of approximately 
$1.2 million.

Gain on Dispositions of Unconsolidated Real Estate and Other  

Gain on dispositions of unconsolidated real estate and other includes gains on disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate 

partnerships, gains on dispositions of land and other non-depreciable assets and certain costs related to asset disposal activities. Changes in the level 
of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of disposition activity from period to period. Additionally, gains on properties sold 
are determined on an individual property basis or in the aggregate for a group of properties that are sold in a single transaction, and are not 
comparable period to period. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, gain on dispositions of unconsolidated real estate and 
other decreased $10.9 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to $8.6 million of additional proceeds received in 2009 related to our disposition 
during 2008 of an interest in an unconsolidated real estate partnership and a $4.0 million gain from the disposition of our interest in a group purchasing 
organization during 2009. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, gain on dispositions of unconsolidated real estate and 

other decreased $75.8 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to a net gain of $98.4 million on our disposition in 2008 of interests in two 
unconsolidated real estate partnerships. This decrease was partially offset by $18.7 million of gains on the disposition of interests in unconsolidated 
partnerships during 2009. Gains recognized in 2009 consist of $8.6 million related to our receipt in 2009 of additional proceeds related to our disposition 
during 2008 of one of the partnership interests discussed above (see Note 3 to the consolidated financials statements in Item 8), $4.0 million from the 
disposition of our interest in a group purchasing organization (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8), and $6.1 million from our 
disposition in 2009 of interests in several unconsolidated real estate partnerships. 

Income Tax Benefit  

Certain of our operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management are conducted through 

taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and, as such, is subject to 
United States Federal corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents and 
investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. We also use TRS entities to hold investments in certain properties. Income taxes related 
to the results of continuing operations of our TRS entities are included in income tax benefit in our consolidated statements of operations.  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, income tax benefit increased by $0.9 million, from 
$17.5 million to $18.4 million. This increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to increased losses of our TRS entities, and was substantially offset 
by the $8.1 million tax benefit we recognized in 2009 related to the impairment of our investment in Casden Properties, LLC, for which no similar benefit 
was recognized in 2010. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, income tax benefit decreased by $39.1 million. This 
decrease was primarily attributed to $36.1 million of income tax benefit recognized in 2008 related to the impairments of our Lincoln Place property and 
our investment in Casden Properties LLC, both of which are owned through TRS entities, partially offset by $8.1 million of income tax benefit 
recognized in 2009 related to the impairment of our investment in Casden Properties LLC. The decrease in tax benefit from 2008 to 2009 related to these 
impairment losses was in addition to a decrease in tax benefit primarily due to larger losses by our TRS entities during 2008 as compared to 2009, 
including restructuring costs incurred in 2008 and a reduction in personnel and other costs in 2009 as a result of the organizational restructurings.  

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net  

The results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are generally required to be 
classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include 
all property-related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, property-specific 
interest 

31 

 
Table of Contents

expense and debt extinguishment gains and losses to the extent there is secured debt on the property. In addition, any impairment losses on assets 
held for sale and the net gain or loss on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported in discontinued operations.  

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, income from discontinued operations totaled $76.3 million and $156.8 million, respectively. The 
$80.5 million decrease in income from discontinued operations was principally due to a $129.9 million decrease in gain on dispositions of real estate, net 
of income taxes, primarily attributable to fewer properties sold in 2010 as compared to 2009, partially offset by a $21.0 million decrease in operating loss 
(inclusive of a $41.9 million decrease in real estate impairment losses) and a $34.9 million decrease in interest expense.  

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, income from discontinued operations totaled $156.8 million and $744.9 million, respectively. 
The $588.1 million decrease in income from discontinued operations was principally due to a $541.1 million decrease in gain on dispositions of real 
estate, net of income taxes, primarily attributable to fewer properties sold in 2009 as compared to 2008, and a $112.8 million decrease in operating 
income (inclusive of a $27.1 million increase in real estate impairment losses), partially offset by a $59.8 million decrease in interest expense and a 
$44.9 million increase in income tax benefit for 2009. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold 51 consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $401.4 million and net proceeds of 

$118.4 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $86.1 million (which is net of $8.8 million of related income taxes). During the year ended 
December 31, 2009, we sold 89 consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $1.3 billion and net proceeds of $432.7 million, resulting in a net gain on 
sale of approximately $216.0 million (which is net of $5.8 million of related income taxes). During the year ended December 31, 2008, we sold 151 
consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $2.4 billion and net proceeds of $1.1 billion, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $757.1 million 
(which is net of $43.1 million of related income taxes). 

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, income from discontinued operations includes the operating results of the properties sold 

during the year ended December 31, 2010. 

Changes in the level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our disposition activity from period to period. 
Additionally, gains on properties sold are determined on an individual property basis or in the aggregate for a group of properties that are sold in a 
single transaction, and are not comparable period to period (see Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on 
discontinued operations). 

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships  

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships reflects the non-Aimco partners’, or noncontrolling partners’, share of 

operating results of consolidated real estate partnerships, as well as the noncontrolling partners’ share of property management fees, interest on notes 
and other amounts that we charge to such partnerships. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we adopted the 
provisions of SFAS 160, which are now codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, or FASB ASC, 
Topic 810, effective January 1, 2009. Prior to our adoption of SFAS 160, we generally did not recognize a benefit for the noncontrolling interest 
partners’ share of partnership losses for partnerships that have deficit noncontrolling interest balances and we generally recognized a charge to our 
earnings for distributions paid to noncontrolling partners for partnerships that had deficit noncontrolling interest balances. Under the updated 
provisions of FASB ASC Topic 810, we are required to attribute losses to noncontrolling interests even if such attribution would result in a deficit 
noncontrolling interest balance and we are no longer required to recognize a charge to our earnings for distributions paid to noncontrolling partners 
for partnerships that have deficit noncontrolling interest balances. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we allocated net losses of $13.3 million to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships 

as compared to net income of $22.5 million allocated to these noncontrolling interests during the year ended December 31, 2009, a variance of 
$35.8 million. This change was substantially 

32 

 
Table of Contents

attributed to a decrease in the noncontrolling interest partners’ share of income from discontinued operations, which decreased primarily due to a 
reduction in gains on the dispositions of real estate from 2009 to 2010. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, net earnings attributed to noncontrolling interests in 

consolidated real estate partnerships decreased by $133.2 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of $108.7 million related to the 
noncontrolling interest partners’ share of gains on dispositions of real estate, due primarily to fewer sales in 2009 as compared to 2008, $5.5 million of 
losses allocated to noncontrolling interests in 2009 that we would not have allocated to the noncontrolling interest partners in 2008 because to do so 
would have resulted in deficits in their noncontrolling interest balances, and approximately $3.8 million related to deficit distribution charges 
recognized as a reduction to our earnings in 2008, for which we did not recognize similar charges in 2009 based on the change in accounting discussed 
above. These decreases are in addition to the noncontrolling interest partners’ share of increased losses of our consolidated real estate partnerships in 
2009 as compared to 2008. 

Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership  

Noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership consist of common partnership units and preferred OP Units held by limited partners in 

the Aimco Operating Partnership other than Aimco. We allocate the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss to the holders of common 
partnership units based on the weighted average number of common partnership units (including those held by Aimco) outstanding during the period. 
Holders of the preferred OP Units participate in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss only to the extent of their preferred distributions.  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, the effect on our earnings of income or loss attributable 
to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership changed by $1.5 million. This change is primarily attributable to the $1.8 million excess 
of the carrying amount over the consideration paid in our repurchase of certain preferred OP Units during 2010, which is reflected as a reduction of 
income allocated to preferred noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, the effect on our earnings of income or loss attributable 

to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership changed by $62.3 million. This change is attributable to a decrease of $50.8 million 
related to the noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s share of income from discontinued operations (net of noncontrolling 
interests in consolidated real estate partnerships), due primarily to larger gains on sales in 2008 relative to 2009 and $11.5 million in deficit distribution 
charges recognized during 2008 due to distributions in excess of the positive balance in noncontrolling interest. These changes were also affected by a 
decrease in the noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s effective ownership interest from 2008 to 2009.  

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 following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated 
financial statements. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the 
carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, we 
make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest 
charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to 
the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. 

From time to time, we have non-revenue producing properties that we hold for future redevelopment. We assess the recoverability of the 

carrying amount of these redevelopment properties by comparing our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows based on the expected service 
potential of the redevelopment property upon 

33 

 
Table of Contents

completion to the carrying amount. In certain instances, we use a probability-weighted approach to determine our estimate of undiscounted future 
cash flows when alternative courses of action are under consideration. As discussed in Provision for Impairment Losses on Real Estate Development 
Assets within the preceding discussion of our Results of Operations, during 2008 we recognized impairment losses on our Lincoln Place and Pacific 
Bay Vistas properties of $85.4 million ($55.6 million net of tax) and $5.7 million, respectively. 

Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our 

real estate investments. These factors include: 

•   the general economic climate; 

•   competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; 

•   local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental 

rates; 

•   changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; 

•   increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; 

•   changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and 

•   changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. 

Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate and investments in 
unconsolidated real estate partnerships. During 2011, we expect to market for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term 
investment strategy. For any properties that are sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale during 2011, the reduction in the estimated 
holding period for these assets may result in additional impairment losses. 

In addition to the impairments of Lincoln Place and Pacific Bay Vistas discussed above, based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived 

assets, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded impairment losses of $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to 
properties classified as held for use, and during the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded no additional impairments related to properties held for 
use. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized impairment losses of $12.7 million, $54.5 million and $27.4 million, 
respectively, for properties included in discontinued operations, primarily due to reductions in the estimated holding periods for assets sold during 
these periods. 

Notes Receivable and Interest Income Recognition  

Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships and from non-affiliates represent our two portfolio segments, as defined in FASB 
Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, that we 
use to evaluate for potential loan loss. Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of notes receivable from 
partnerships in which we are the general partner but do not consolidate the partnership. These loans are typically due on demand, have no stated 
maturity date and may not require current payments of principal or interest. Notes receivable from non-affiliates have stated maturity dates and may 
require current payments of principal and interest. Repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value 
of the underlying real estate properties and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders, which are generally senior to our claims. Our notes receivable 
consist of two classes: loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes;” and loans 
extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”  

We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual 

of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of 
interest. We record income on such nonaccrual 

34 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts 
are recognized as income. 

We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and 

reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has closed or entered into certain pending 
transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such 
instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, 
equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other 
discounted notes using the cost recovery method. 

Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable  

We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow 

projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual 
terms of the note. We update our cash flow projections of the borrowers annually, and more frequently for certain loans depending on facts and 
circumstances. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the 
contractual terms of the loan. Factors that affect this assessment include the fair value of the partnership’s real estate, pending transactions to 
refinance the partnership’s senior obligations or sell the partnership’s real estate, and market conditions (current and forecasted) related to a particular 
asset. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary 
source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by 
discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate.  

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we recorded net provisions for losses on notes receivable of $0.9 million, $21.5 million 

and $17.6 million, respectively. As discussed in Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable within the preceding discussion of our Results of 
Operations, provisions for losses on notes receivable in 2009 and 2008 include impairment losses of $20.7 million ($12.4 million net of tax) and 
$16.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax), respectively, on our investment in Casden Properties LLC, which we account for as a note receivable. We will 
continue to evaluate the collectibility of these notes, and we will adjust related allowances in the future due to changes in market conditions and other 
factors. 

Capitalized Costs  

We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital additions activities, including redevelopment and 
construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components. Included in these capitalized costs are 
payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital additions activities at 
the property level. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including payroll, at the area operations and corporate 
levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and 
construction projects are in progress. We charge to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital additions activities, including ordinary 
repairs, maintenance, resident turnover costs and general and administrative expenses (see Capital Additions and Related Depreciation in Note 2 to 
the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). 

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $11.6 million, $9.8 million and 

$25.7 million of interest costs, respectively, and $25.3 million, $40.0 million and $78.1 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively. The 
reductions from 2008 to 2010 are primarily due to a reduced level of redevelopment activities. 

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 

35 

 
Table of Contents

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 Board of Governors of 
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, 
excluding gains from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint 
ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO for all 
periods presented in accordance with the guidance set forth by NAREIT’s April 1, 2002, White Paper, which we refer to as the White Paper. We 
calculate FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted) by subtracting 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. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as 
determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash 
available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, there can be 
no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other REITs. 

In addition to FFO, we compute an alternate measure of FFO, which we refer to as Pro forma FFO and which is FFO attributable to Aimco 

common stockholders (diluted), excluding operating real estate impairments and preferred equity redemption related amounts (adjusted for 
noncontrolling interests). Both operating real estate impairment losses and preferred equity redemption related amounts are items that periodically 
affect our operating results. We exclude operating real estate impairment losses, net of related income tax benefits and noncontrolling interests, from 
our calculation of Pro forma FFO because we believe the inclusion of such losses in FFO is inconsistent with the treatment of gains on the disposition 
of operating real estate, which are not included in FFO. We exclude preferred equity redemption related amounts (gains or losses) from our calculation 
of Pro forma FFO because such amounts are not representative of our operating results. Similar to FFO, we believe Pro forma FFO 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 depreciating assets such as machinery, computers or other 
personal property. Not all REITs present an alternate measure of FFO similar to our Pro forma FFO measure and there can be no assurance our basis for 
calculating Pro forma FFO is comparable to those of other REITs that do provide such a measure.

(3)  Prior to our adoption of the provisions of SFAS 160, which are codified in FASB ASC Topic 810 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial 

statements in Item 8), we recognized deficit distributions to noncontrolling partners as charges in our statement of operations when cash was 
distributed to a noncontrolling partner in a consolidated partnership in excess of the positive balance in such partner’s noncontrolling interest 
balance. We recorded these charges for GAAP purposes even though there was no economic effect or cost. Deficit distributions to 
noncontrolling partners occurred when the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeded its depreciated net book value because the underlying 
real estate had appreciated or maintained its value. As a result, the recognition of expense for deficit distributions to noncontrolling partners 
represented, in substance, either (a) our recognition of depreciation previously allocated to the noncontrolling partner or (b) a payment related to 
the noncontrolling partner’s share of real estate appreciation. Based on White Paper guidance that requires real estate depreciation and gains to 
be excluded from FFO, we added back deficit distributions and subtracted related recoveries in our reconciliation of net income to FFO.

required to recognize such charges in our statement of operations.

(6)  On October 1, 2003, NAREIT clarified its definition of FFO to include operating real estate impairment losses, which previously had been added 

back to calculate FFO. Although Aimco’s presentation conforms with the NAREIT definition, Aimco considers such approach to be inconsistent 
with the treatment of gains on dispositions of operating real estate, which are not included in FFO.

(7)  In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s July 31, 2003 interpretation of the Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42, Aimco 
includes preferred stock redemption related amounts in FFO. As a result, FFO for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 includes 
redemption discounts, net of issuance costs, of $0.3 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which we exclude from our calculation of 
Pro forma FFO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

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 property sales, proceeds from refinancings of existing property loans, borrowings under new property loans and 
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. 

Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding property debt, capital 

expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to noncontrolling interest partners and acquisitions of, and investments in, 
properties. 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 demands, we have 
additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from property sales and refinancings, to help us meet our short-term liquidity 
demands. We may use our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our 
long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, primarily secured, the issuance of 
equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations. 

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, many lenders have reentered the 
market, and the CMBS market is showing signs of recovery. However, any adverse changes in the lending environment could negatively affect our 
liquidity. We believe we mitigate this exposure through our continued focus on reducing our short and intermediate term maturity risk, by refinancing 
such loans with long-dated, fixed-rate property loans. If property financing options become unavailable for our debt needs, we may consider 
alternative sources of liquidity, such as reductions in certain capital spending or proceeds from asset dispositions. 

As further discussed in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, we are subject to interest rate risk associated with 

certain variable rate liabilities and preferred stock. At December 31, 2010, we estimate that a 1.0% increase in 30-day LIBOR with constant credit risk 
spreads would reduce our net income (or increase our net loss) attributable to Aimco common stockholders by approximately $3.9 million on an annual 
basis. The effect of an increase in 30-day LIBOR may be mitigated by the effect of our variable rate assets.  

38 

 
Table of Contents

As further discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we use total rate of return swaps as a financing product to 
lower our cost of borrowing through conversion of fixed-rate debt to variable-rates. The cost of financing through these arrangements is generally 
lower than the fixed rate on the debt. As of December 31, 2010, we had total rate of return swap positions with two financial institutions with notional 
amounts totaling $277.3 million. Swaps with notional amounts of $248.1 million and $29.2 million had maturity dates in May 2012 and October 2012, 
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received net cash receipts of $20.9 million under the total return swaps, which positively 
affected our liquidity. To the extent interest rates increase above the fixed rates on the underlying borrowings, our obligations under the total return 
swaps will negatively affect our liquidity. 

During 2010, we refinanced certain of the underlying borrowings subject to total rate of return swaps with long-dated, fixed-rate property debt, 

and we expect to do the same with certain of the underlying borrowings in 2011. The average effective interest rate associated with our borrowings 
subject to the total rate of return swaps was 1.6% at December 31, 2010. To the extent we are successful in refinancing additional of the borrowings 
subject to the total rate of return swaps during 2011, we anticipate the interest cost associated with these borrowings will increase, which would 
negatively affect our liquidity. 

We periodically evaluate counterparty credit risk associated with these arrangements. In the event a counterparty were to default under these 

arrangements, loss of the net interest benefit we generally receive under these arrangements, which is equal to the difference between the fixed rate we 
receive and the variable rate we pay, may adversely affect our liquidity. However, at the current time, we have concluded we do not have material 
exposure. 

The total rate of return swaps require specified loan-to-value ratios. In the event the values of the real estate properties serving as collateral 
under these agreements decline or if we sell properties in the collateral pool with low loan-to-value ratios, certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have 
an obligation to pay down the debt or provide additional collateral pursuant to the swap agreements, which may adversely affect our cash flows. The 
obligation to provide collateral is limited to these subsidiaries and is non-recourse to us. At December 31, 2010, these subsidiaries were not required to 
provide cash collateral based on the loan-to-value ratios of the real estate properties serving as collateral under these agreements.  

See Derivative Financial Instruments in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding these 

arrangements, including the current swap maturity dates and disclosures regarding fair value measurements. 

As of December 31, 2010, we had the capacity to borrow $260.3 million pursuant to our $300.0 million revolving credit facility (after giving effect 

to $39.7 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit). 

At December 31, 2010, we had $111.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $30.1 million from December 31, 2009. At December 31, 

2010, we had $201.4 million of restricted cash, a decrease of $17.3 million from December 31, 2009. Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves and 
escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital additions, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted 
cash are held by partnerships that are not presented on a consolidated basis. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, 
investing and financing activities, which are presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 8. 

Operating Activities  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net cash provided by operating activities of $257.5 million was primarily related to operating income 

from our consolidated properties, which is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of 
properties, in excess of payments of operating accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including amounts related to our organizational restructuring. 
Cash provided by operating activities increased $23.7 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to decreases in interest 
paid and other working capital expenditures, including payments related to our restructuring accruals, in 2010 as compared to 2009, partially offset by a 
decrease in property net operating income, primarily due to property sales during 2009 and 2010.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net cash provided by investing activities of $86.4 million consisted primarily of proceeds from 

disposition of real estate and partnership interests, partially offset by capital expenditures. 

Although we hold all of our properties for investment, we sell properties when they do not meet our investment criteria or are located in areas 

that we believe do not justify our continued investment when compared to alternative uses for our capital. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 
we sold 51 consolidated properties. These properties were sold for an aggregate sales price of $402.5 million, generating proceeds totaling 
$387.9 million after the payment of transaction costs and debt prepayment penalties. The $387.9 million is inclusive of debt assumed by buyers. Net 
cash proceeds from property sales were used primarily to repay or pay down property debt and for other corporate purposes.  

Capital expenditures totaled $178.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, and consisted primarily of Capital Improvements and Capital 

Replacements, and to a lesser extent included spending for redevelopment projects and casualties. In 2011, we expect to increase our redevelopment 
spending on conventional properties from approximately $30.0 million in 2010 to approximately $50.0 million to $75.0 million. We generally fund capital 
additions with cash provided by operating activities, working capital and property sales. 

Financing Activities  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in financing activities of $313.8 million was primarily attributed to debt principal payments, 
dividends paid to common and preferred stockholders, distributions to noncontrolling interests and our redemption and repurchase of preferred stock. 
Proceeds from property loans and our issuance of preferred stock partially offset the cash outflows. 

Property Debt  

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had $5.5 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, in consolidated property debt outstanding, which included 
$240.0 million at December 31, 2009, of property debt classified within liabilities related to assets held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 
2010, we refinanced or closed property loans on 23 properties generating $449.4 million of proceeds from borrowings with a weighted average interest 
rate of 5.42%. Our share of the net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was 
$138.9 million. We used these total net proceeds for capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. We intend to continue to refinance property 
debt primarily as a means of extending current and near term maturities and to finance certain capital projects. 

Credit Facility  

We have an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended, with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to 

as the Credit Agreement. During 2010, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the revolving commitments from 
$180.0 million to $300.0 million, extend the maturity from May 2012 to May 2014 (both inclusive of a one year extension option) and reduce the LIBOR 
floor on the facility’s base interest rate from 2.00% to 1.50%. During 2010, we also repaid in full the remaining $90.0 million term loan that was 
outstanding as of December 31, 2009. 

As of December 31, 2010, the Credit Agreement consisted of $300.0 million of revolving loan commitments. Borrowings under the revolving 
credit facility bear interest based on a pricing grid determined by leverage (either at LIBOR plus 4.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.50% or, at our option, a 
base rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 3.00%). The revolving credit facility matures May 1, 2013, and may be extended for an additional year, 
subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 35.0 basis point fee on the total revolving commitments. 

At December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving credit 

facility at December 31, 2010, was $260.3 million (after giving effect to $39.7 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit issued under the revolving 
credit facility). The proceeds of revolving loans are generally used to fund working capital and for other corporate purposes.  

40 

 
Table of Contents

Our Credit Agreement requires us to satisfy covenant ratios of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization to debt service 

and earnings to fixed charges of 1.40:1 and 1.20:1, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as calculated based on the provisions 
in our Credit Agreement, we had a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization to debt service of 1.57:1 and a ratio of 
earnings to fixed charges of 1.33:1. We expect to remain in compliance with these covenants during 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the covenant 
ratios of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization to debt service and earnings to fixed charges required by our Credit 
Agreement will increase to 1.50:1 and 1.30:1, respectively. 

Equity Transactions  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid cash dividends or distributions totaling $53.4 million, $46.7 million and $10.1 million to 

preferred stockholders, common stockholders and noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership, respectively.  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold 4,000,000 shares of our 7.75% Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock for net proceeds of 
$96.1 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and transaction expenses of $3.3 million), and we sold 600,000 shares of our 
Common Stock pursuant to an At-The-Market, or ATM, offering program we initiated during 2010, generating $14.4 million of net proceeds. Aimco 
used the proceeds from the Common Stock issuance primarily to fund the acquisition of noncontrolling limited partnership interests for certain 
consolidated real estate partnerships. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we repurchased 20 shares, or $10.0 million in liquidation preference, of CRA Preferred Stock for 
$7.0 million, and primarily using the proceeds from our issuance of preferred stock discussed above, we redeemed the 4,040,000 outstanding shares of 
our 9.375% Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock for $101.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $2.2 million. 

Pursuant to the ATM offering program discussed above, we may issue up to 6.4 million additional shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, 

we and the Aimco Operating Partnership have a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of debt and equity securities by Aimco and 
debt securities by the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid cash distributions of $44.5 million to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate 

partnerships, primarily related to property sales during 2010 and late 2009. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired the remaining noncontrolling limited partnership interests in two consolidated 
partnerships, in which our affiliates serve as general partner, for total consideration of $19.9 million. This consideration consisted of $12.5 million in 
cash, $6.9 million in common OP Units and $0.5 million of other consideration.

(3)  Inclusive of leased space that has been abandoned as part of our organizational restructuring in 2008.
(4)  Represents a commitment to fund $3.8 million in second mortgage loans on certain properties in West Harlem, New York City.

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, at December 31, 2010, we had $679.5 million (liquidation value) of perpetual preferred 

stock outstanding with annual dividend yields ranging from 1.5% (variable) to 8.0%, and $82.6 million (liquidation value) of redeemable preferred units 
of the Aimco Operating Partnership outstanding with annual distribution yields ranging from 1.8% to 8.8%, or equal to the dividends paid on Common 
Stock based on the conversion terms. As further discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we have a potential obligation 
to repurchase $20.0 million in liquidation preference our Series A Community Reinvestment Act Preferred Stock over the next two years for 
$14.0 million. 

As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we have notes receivable collateralized by second mortgages on 
certain properties in West Harlem in New York City. In certain circumstances, the obligor under these notes has the ability to put properties to us, 
which would result in a cash payment of approximately $30.6 million and the assumption of approximately $118.6 million in property debt. The obligor’s 
right to exercise the put is dependent upon the achievement of specified operating performance thresholds. 

Additionally, we may enter into commitments to purchase goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those 

commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.  

Future Capital Needs  

In addition to the items set forth in “Contractual Obligations” above, we expect to fund any future acquisitions, redevelopment projects, Capital 
Improvements and Capital Replacements principally with proceeds from property sales (including tax-free exchange proceeds), short-term borrowings, 
debt and equity financing (including tax credit equity) and operating cash flows. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  

We own general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, in which our total ownership interests typically range 

from less than 1% to 50% and in some instances may exceed 50%. There are no lines of credit, side agreements, or any other derivative financial 
instruments related to or between our unconsolidated real estate partnerships and us and no material exposure to financial guarantees. Accordingly, 
our maximum risk of loss related to these unconsolidated real estate partnerships is limited to the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in the 
unconsolidated real estate partnerships and any outstanding notes or accounts receivable as reported in our consolidated financial statements (see 
Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information about our investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships).  

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

Our primary market risk exposure relates to changes in base interest rates, credit risk spreads and availability of credit. We are not subject to any 

other material market rate or price risks. We use predominantly long-term, fixed-rate non-recourse property debt in order to avoid the refunding and 
repricing risks of short-term borrowings. We use short-term debt financing and working capital primarily to fund short-term uses and acquisitions and 
generally expect to refinance such borrowings with cash from operating activities, property sales proceeds, long-term debt or equity financings. We 
use total rate-of-return swaps to obtain the benefit of variable rates on certain of our fixed rate debt instruments. We make limited use of other 
derivative financial instruments and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes. 

42 

 
Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2010, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $470.3 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding and 

$57.0 million of variable rate preferred stock outstanding. Of the total debt subject to variable interest rates, floating rate tax-exempt bond financing was 
approximately $374.4 million. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets 
Association Municipal Swap Index, or SIFMA, rate, which since 1989 has averaged 75% of the 30-day LIBOR rate. If this historical relationship 
continues, we estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points (75 basis points for tax-exempt interest rates) with constant credit risk 
spreads would result in net income and net income attributable to Aimco common stockholders being reduced (or the amounts of net loss and net loss 
attributable to Aimco common stockholders being increased) by $3.9 million on an annual basis. 

At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $450.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable, a portion of which 

bear interest at variable rates indexed to LIBOR-based rates, and which may mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate 
indebtedness and preferred stock discussed above. 

We estimate the fair value for our debt instruments using present value techniques that include income and market valuation approaches with 
market rates for debt with the same or similar terms. Present value calculations vary depending on the assumptions used, including the discount rate 
and estimates of future cash flows. In many cases, the fair value estimates may not be realizable in immediate settlement of the instruments. The 
estimated aggregate fair value of our consolidated debt (including amounts reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately 
$5.6 billion and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The combined carrying value of our consolidated debt (including amounts 
reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately $5.5 billion and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. See 
Note 6 and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further details on our consolidated debt. Refer to Derivative Financial 
Instruments in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion regarding certain of our fixed rate debt that is subject to 
total rate of return swap instruments. If market rates for our fixed-rate debt were higher by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the 
estimated fair value of our debt discussed above would have decreased from $5.6 billion to $5.3 billion. If market rates for our debt discussed above 
were lower by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt would have increased from $5.6 billion 
to $6.0 billion.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial 

reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal 
executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: 

•   pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets; 

•   provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our 
management and directors; and 

•   provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could 

have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that 
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, 

management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework.  

Based on their assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.  

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 
during the fourth quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

Stockholders and Board of Directors Apartment Investment and Management Company  

We have audited Apartment Investment and Management Company’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of 

December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial 
reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report 
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 
based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting 
was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s 
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could 
have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 

evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the 
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based 

on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated 

balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated February 24, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

Stockholders and Board of Directors Apartment Investment and Management Company  

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apartment Investment and Management Company (the “Company”) as of 

December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying Index to Financial Statements. These 
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material 
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the 

Company at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial 
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the 
information set forth therein. 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2010 the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting 
Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable 
Interest Entities, and during 2009 adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated 
Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810).  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 24, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion 
thereon.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2010  

NOTE 1 — Organization  

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to 
our stockholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective is to: 

•   own and operate a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily class “B/B+” assets with properties concentrated in the 20 largest markets in the 
United States (as measured by total apartment value, which is the estimated total market value of apartment properties in a particular market); 

•   improve our portfolio by selling assets with lower projected returns and reinvesting those proceeds through the purchase of new assets or 

additional investment in existing assets in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment; and 

•   provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity. 

As of December 31, 2010, we: 

•   owned an equity interest in 219 conventional real estate properties with 68,972 units; 

•   owned an equity interest in 228 affordable real estate properties with 26,540 units; and 

•   provided services for or managed 27,182 units in 321 properties, primarily pursuant to long-term asset management agreements. In certain 
cases, we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the operations of such properties through a syndication or other fund. 

Of these properties, we consolidated 217 conventional properties with 67,668 units and 182 affordable properties with 22,207 units. These 
conventional and affordable properties generated 87% and 13%, respectively, of our proportionate property net operating income (as defined in 
Note 17) during the year ended December 31, 2010. Any reference to the number of properties or units is unaudited. 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO 
Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2010, we held an interest of approximately 93% in the 
common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all 
of our 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, high performance partnership units and partnership preferred units, 
which we refer to as common OP Units, High Performance Units and preferred OP Units, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 117,642,872 shares of our 
Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 8,470,013 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding for a 
combined total of 126,112,885 shares of Common Stock, common partnership units and equivalents outstanding. 

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their 

consolidated entities, collectively. 

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

Principles of Consolidation  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated 
entities. We consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, we consolidate real estate partnerships and 
other entities that are not variable 

F-8  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

interest entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority voting interest in the entity or are otherwise able to control the entity. 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 the accompanying balance sheets 

as noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated into the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held 
by third parties are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. The assets of 
consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by us generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Aimco Operating 
Partnership. 

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and 

“partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company.  

Variable Interest Entities  

We consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with 

one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without 
additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an 
entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected 
residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of 
the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  

Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by 

Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, or ASU 2009-17, on a prospective basis. ASU 2009-17, which modified the guidance in FASB 
ASC Topic 810, introduced a more qualitative approach to evaluating VIEs for consolidation and requires a company to perform an analysis to 
determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the 
entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to 
absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has the power to direct the 
activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance, ASU 2009-17 requires a company to assess whether it has an implicit financial 
responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed, requires continuous reassessment of primary beneficiary status rather than periodic, event-
driven assessments as previously required, and incorporates expanded disclosure requirements. 

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 VIEs 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 the 
business activities of us and 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. 

As a result of our adoption of ASU 2009-17, we concluded we are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 49 previously 
unconsolidated partnerships. Those partnerships own, or control other entities that own, 31 apartment properties. Our direct and indirect interests in 
the profits and losses of those partnerships range from less than 1% to 35%, and average approximately 7%. We applied the practicability exception 
for initial measurement of consolidated VIEs to partnerships that own 13 properties and accordingly recognized the consolidated assets, liabilities and 
noncontrolling interests at fair value effective January 1, 2010 (refer to the Fair Value Measurements section for further information regarding certain of 
the fair value amounts recognized upon consolidation). We deconsolidated partnerships that own ten apartment properties in which we hold an 
average interest of approximately 55%. The initial consolidation and deconsolidation of these partnerships resulted

In periods prior to 2009, when consolidated real estate partnerships made cash distributions to partners in excess of the carrying amount of the 

noncontrolling interest, we generally recorded a charge to earnings equal to the amount of such excess distribution, even though there was no 
economic effect or cost. Also prior to 2009, we allocated the noncontrolling partners’ share of partnership losses to noncontrolling partners to the 
extent of the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. Consolidation of a partnership does not ordinarily result in a change to the net amount of 
partnership income or loss that is recognized using the equity method. However, prior to 2009, when a partnership had a deficit in equity, accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, may have required the controlling partner that consolidates the partnership to 
recognize any losses that would otherwise be allocated to noncontrolling partners, in addition to the controlling partner’s share of losses. Certain of 
the partnerships that we consolidated in accordance with ASU 2009-17 had deficits in equity that resulted from losses or deficit distributions during 
prior periods when we accounted for our investment using the equity method. We would have been required to recognize the noncontrolling partners’ 
share of those losses had we consolidated those partnerships in those periods prior to 2009. In accordance with our prospective transition method for 
the adoption of ASU 2009-17 related to our consolidation of previously unconsolidated partnerships, we recorded a $30.7 million charge to our equity, 
the majority of which was attributed to the cumulative amount of additional losses that we would have recognized had we applied ASU 2009-17 in 
periods prior to 2009. Substantially all of those losses were attributable to real estate depreciation expense.

Our equity in the results of operations of the partnerships and related properties we deconsolidated in connection with our adoption of ASU 

2009-17 is included in equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated real estate partnerships in our consolidated statements of operations for the year 
ended December 31, 2010. The amounts related to these entities are not significant. 

As of December 31, 2010, we were the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, approximately 137 VIEs, which owned 96 apartment 

properties with 14,054 units. Real estate with a carrying value of $867.1 million collateralized $654.3 million of debt of those VIEs. Any significant 
amounts of assets and liabilities related to our consolidated VIEs are identified parenthetically on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance 
sheets. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit. 

As of December 31, 2010, we also held variable interests in 276 VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Those VIEs consist primarily 

of partnerships that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 329 apartment properties with 20,570 units. We are 
involved with those VIEs as an equity holder, lender, management agent, or through other contractual relationships. The majority of our investments 
in unconsolidated VIEs, or approximately $48.9 million at December 31, 2010, are held through consolidated investment partnerships that are VIEs and 
in which we generally hold a 1% or less general partner or equivalent interest. Accordingly, substantially all of the investment balances related to 
these unconsolidated VIEs are attributed to the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated investment partnerships that hold the investments in 
these unconsolidated VIEs. Our maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these VIEs is generally limited to our equity interest in the 
consolidated investment partnerships, which is insignificant. The remainder of our investment in unconsolidated VIEs, or approximately $5.5 million at 
December 31, 2010, is held through consolidated investment partnerships that are VIEs and in which we hold substantially all of the economic 
interests. Our maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these VIEs is limited to our $5.5 million recorded investment in such entities.  

In addition to our investments in unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, at December 31, 2010, we had in aggregate $101.7 million of receivables 
from unconsolidated VIEs and we had a contractual obligation to advance funds to certain unconsolidated VIEs totaling $3.8 million. Our maximum risk 
of loss associated with our lending and management activities related to these unconsolidated VIEs is limited to these amounts. We may be subject to 
additional losses to the extent of any receivables relating to future provision of services to these entities or financial support that we voluntarily 
provide.

Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related Depreciation and Amortization  

We adopted the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations — a replacement of 

FASB Statement No. 141, or SFAS 141(R), which are codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, effective January 1, 2009. These provisions apply to all 
transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those effected without the transfer of consideration, for 
example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights. These provisions require the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize 
the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establish the acquisition-date fair 
value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and require expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs.  

We believe most operating real estate assets meet SFAS 141(R)’s revised definition of a business. Accordingly, in connection with our 2009 

adoption of SFAS 141(R), we retroactively adjusted our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, to expense $3.5 million of 
transaction costs incurred prior to December 31, 2008. This retroactive adjustment is reflected in investment management expenses in our 
accompanying consolidated statements of operations and reduced basic and diluted earnings per share amounts by $0.04 for the year ended 
December 31, 2008. 

Effective January 1, 2009, we recognize at fair value the acquisition of properties or interests in partnerships that own properties if the 

transaction results in consolidation and we expense as incurred most related transaction costs. We allocate the cost of acquired properties to tangible 
assets and identified intangible assets based on their fair values. We determine the fair value of tangible assets, such as land, building, furniture, 
fixtures and equipment, generally using internal valuation techniques that consider comparable market transactions, discounted cash flow techniques, 
replacement costs and other available information. We determine the fair value of identified intangible assets (or liabilities), which typically relate to in-
place leases, using internal valuation techniques that consider the terms of the in-place leases, current market data for comparable leases, and our 
experience in leasing similar properties. The intangible assets or liabilities related to in-place leases are comprised of:  

1.   The value of the above- and below-market leases in-place. An asset or liability is recognized based on the difference between (a) the 

contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place 
leases, measured over the period, including estimated lease renewals for below-market leases, that the leases are expected to remain in effect. 

2.   The estimated unamortized portion of avoided leasing commissions and other costs that ordinarily would be incurred to acquire the in-place 

leases. 

3.   The value associated with vacant units during the absorption period (estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods 

based on current market demand and stabilized occupancy levels). 

The values of the above- and below-market leases are amortized to rental revenue over the expected remaining terms of the associated leases. 
Other intangible assets related to in-place leases are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the expected remaining terms of the associated 
leases. Amortization is adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any early lease terminations that were not anticipated in determining amortization periods.  

Depreciation for all tangible real estate assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Acquired buildings 

and improvements are depreciated over a composite life of 14 to 52 years, based on the age, condition and other physical characteristics of the 
property. As discussed under Impairment of Long Lived Assets below, we may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or 
demolished prior to the end of their useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment associated with acquired properties are depreciated over five years.  

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets includes below-market lease amounts totaling $27.9 million 

and $31.8 million, respectively, which are net of accumulated amortization of $24.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively. During the years ended 
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we included amortization of below-market leases of $3.9 million, $4.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in rental 
and other property revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2010, our below-market

leases had a weighted average amortization period of 7.0 years and estimated aggregate amortization for each of the five succeeding years as follows 
(in millions):

We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital additions activities, including redevelopment and 
construction projects, other tangible property improvements, and replacements of existing property components. Included in these capitalized costs 
are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital additions activities 
at the property level. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including payroll, at the area operations and 
corporate levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which 
redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. We charge to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital expenditure activities, 
including ordinary repairs, maintenance, resident turnover costs and general and administrative expenses. 

We depreciate capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related component or improvement, which is 
generally five, 15 or 30 years. All capitalized site payroll and indirect costs are allocated proportionately, based on direct costs, among capital projects 
and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of such projects. 

Certain homogeneous items that are purchased in bulk on a recurring basis, such as carpeting and appliances, are depreciated using group 
methods that reflect the average estimated useful life of the items in each group. Except in the case of property casualties, where the net book value of 
lost property is written off in the determination of casualty gains or losses, we generally do not recognize any loss in connection with the replacement 
of an existing property component because normal replacements are considered in determining the estimated useful lives used in connection with our 
composite and group depreciation methods. 

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $11.6 million, $9.8 million and 

$25.7 million of interest costs, respectively, and $25.3 million, $40.0 million and $78.1 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively.  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the 
carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, we 
make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest 
charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent 
the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. 

In connection with the preparation of our 2008 annual financial statements, we assessed the recoverability of our investment in our Lincoln Place 

property, located in Venice, California. Based upon the declines in land values in Southern California during 2008 and the expected timing of our 
redevelopment efforts, we determined that the total carrying amount of the property was no longer probable of full recovery and, accordingly, during 
the three months ended December 31, 2008, recognized an impairment loss of $85.4 million ($55.6 million net of tax). 

Similarly, we assessed the recoverability of our investment in Pacific Bay Vistas (formerly Treetops), a vacant property located in San Bruno, 

California, and determined that the carrying amount of the property was no longer probable of full recovery and, accordingly, we recognized an 
impairment loss of $5.7 million for this property during the three months ended December 31, 2008. 

In addition to the impairments of Lincoln Place and Pacific Bay Vistas, based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, for the years 

ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded real estate impairment 

F-13  

 
  
Table of Contents

losses of $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to properties classified as held for use. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded 
no similar impairment losses related to properties classified as held for use. 

We report impairment losses or recoveries related to properties sold or classified as held for sale in discontinued operations.  

Our tests of recoverability address real estate assets that do not currently meet all conditions to be classified as held for sale, but are expected to 

be disposed of prior to the end of their estimated useful lives. If an impairment loss is not required to be recorded, the recognition of depreciation is 
adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that 
the real estate is expected to be held and used. We also may adjust depreciation prospectively to reduce to zero the carrying amount of buildings that 
we plan to demolish in connection with a redevelopment project. These depreciation adjustments, after adjustments for noncontrolling interests, 
decreased net income available to Aimco common stockholders by $0.2 million, $18.3 million and $10.7 million, and resulted in decreases in basic and 
diluted earnings per share of less than $0.01, $0.16 and $0.12, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

Cash Equivalents  

We classify highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. 

Restricted Cash  

Restricted cash includes capital replacement reserves, completion repair reserves, bond sinking fund amounts and tax and insurance escrow 

accounts held by lenders. 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

Accounts receivable are generally comprised of amounts receivable from residents, amounts receivable from non-affiliated real estate 
partnerships for which we provide property management and other services and other miscellaneous receivables from non-affiliated entities. We 
evaluate collectibility of accounts receivable from residents and establish an allowance, after the application of security deposits and other anticipated 
recoveries, for accounts greater than 30 days past due for current residents and all receivables due from former residents. Accounts receivable from 
residents are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.1 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 
respectively. 

We evaluate collectibility of accounts receivable from non-affiliated entities and establish an allowance for amounts that are considered to be 
uncollectible. Accounts receivable relating to non-affiliated entities are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.0 million 
and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts from Affiliates  

Accounts receivable from affiliates are generally comprised of receivables related to property management and other services provided to 
unconsolidated real estate partnerships in which we have an ownership interest. We evaluate collectibility of accounts receivable balances from 
affiliates on a periodic basis, and establish an allowance for the amounts deemed to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable from affiliates are stated net 
of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.5 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  

Deferred Costs  

We defer lender fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining new financing and amortize the amounts over the terms of the related loan 

agreements. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense. 

We defer leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts and amortize the costs over the 

terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization.

Notes Receivable from Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships and Non-Affiliates and Related Interest Income and Provision for Losses  

Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships and from non-affiliates represent our two portfolio segments, as defined in FASB 
Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, that we 
use to evaluate for potential loan loss. Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of notes receivable from 
partnerships in which we are the general partner but do not consolidate the partnership. These loans are typically due on demand, have no stated 
maturity date and may not require current payments of principal or interest. Notes receivable from non-affiliates have stated maturity dates and may 
require current payments of principal and interest. Repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value 
of the underlying real estate properties and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders, which are generally senior to our claims. Our notes receivable 
consist of two classes: loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes;” and loans 
extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”  

We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual 

of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of 
interest. We record income on such nonaccrual loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded 
amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts are recognized as income. 

We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and 

reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has closed or entered into certain pending 
transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such 
instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, 
equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other 
discounted notes using the cost recovery method. 

We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow 

projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual 
terms of the note. We update our cash flow projections of the borrowers annually, and more frequently for certain loans depending on facts and 
circumstances. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the 
contractual terms of the loan. Factors that affect this assessment include the fair value of the partnership’s real estate, pending transactions to 
refinance the partnership’s senior obligations or sell the partnership’s real estate, and market conditions (current and forecasted) related to a particular 
asset. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary 
source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by 
discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate. See Note 5 for further discussion of our notes receivable.  

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships  

We own general and limited partner interests in partnerships that either directly, or through interests in other real estate partnerships, own 
apartment properties. We generally account for investments in real estate partnerships that we do not consolidate under the equity method. Under the 
equity method, our share of the earnings or losses of the entity for the periods being presented is included in equity in earnings (losses) from 
unconsolidated real estate partnerships, inclusive of our share of impairments and property disposition gains recognized by and related to such 
entities. Certain investments in real estate partnerships that were acquired in business combinations were determined to have insignificant value at the 
acquisition date and are accounted for under the cost method. Any distributions received from such partnerships are recognized as income when 
received. 

The excess of the cost of the acquired partnership interests over the historical carrying amount of partners’ equity or deficit is ascribed generally 

to the fair values of land and buildings owned by the partnerships. We 

F-15  

 
Table of Contents

amortize the excess cost related to the buildings over the estimated useful lives of the buildings. Such amortization is recorded as a component of 
equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate partnerships. See Note 4 for further discussion of Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate 
Partnerships. 

Intangible Assets  

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, other assets included goodwill associated with our reportable segments of $67.1 million and $71.8 million, 
respectively. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill that compares the fair value of reporting units with their carrying amounts, including 
goodwill. We determined that our goodwill was not impaired in 2010, 2009 or 2008. 

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we allocated $4.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of goodwill related to our reportable 

segments (conventional and affordable real estate operations) to the carrying amounts of the properties sold or classified as held for sale. The 
amounts of goodwill allocated to these properties were based on the relative fair values of the properties sold or classified as held for sale and the 
retained portions of the reporting units to which the goodwill as allocated. During 2008, we did not allocate any goodwill to properties sold or 
classified as held for sale as real estate properties were not considered businesses under then applicable GAAP. 

Other assets also includes intangible assets for purchased management contracts with finite lives that we amortize on a straight-line basis over 

terms ranging from five to 20 years and intangible assets for in-place leases as discussed under Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related 
Depreciation and Amortization.  

Capitalized Software Costs  

Purchased software and other costs related to software developed for internal use are capitalized during the application development stage and 

are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally five years. We write-off the costs of software 
development projects when it is no longer probable that the software will be completed and placed in service. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 
2009 and 2008, we capitalized software development costs totaling $8.7 million, $5.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 
2009, other assets included $28.1 million and $29.7 million of net capitalized software, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 
2008, we recognized amortization of capitalized software of $10.2 million, $11.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation 
and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations. 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we reassessed our approach to communication technology needs at our properties, which resulted in 
the discontinuation of an infrastructure project and a $5.4 million write-off of related hardware and capitalized internal and consulting costs included in 
other assets. The write-off, which is net of sales proceeds, is included in other expenses, net. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we 
additionally recorded a $1.6 million write-off of certain software and hardware assets that are no longer consistent with our information technology 
strategy. This write-off is included in depreciation and amortization. There were no similar write-offs during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.  

Noncontrolling Interests  

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests 
in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS 160, which are codified in FASB ASC Topic 810. These provisions 
clarified that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity, which should be reported as equity in the 
parent’s consolidated financial statements. These provisions require disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statements of operations, of the 
amounts of consolidated net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests, eliminating 
the past practice of reporting amounts of income attributable to noncontrolling interests as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. 
These provisions also require us to attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling 
interest balance within our equity accounts, and in some instances, recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  

F-16  

 
Table of Contents

In connection with our retrospective application of these provisions, we reclassified into our consolidated equity accounts the historical 
balances related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and the portion of noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating 
Partnership related to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common OP Units and High Performance Units. At December 31, 2008, the carrying amount 
of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships was $380.7 million and the carrying amount for noncontrolling interests in Aimco 
Operating Partnership attributable to common OP Units and High Performance Units was zero, due to cash distributions in excess of the positive 
balances related to those noncontrolling interests. 

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships  

We report the unaffiliated partners’ interests in our consolidated real estate partnerships as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate 

partnerships. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships represent the noncontrolling partners’ share of the underlying net 
assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships. Prior to 2009, when these consolidated real estate partnerships made cash distributions to partners 
in excess of the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest, we generally recorded a charge equal to the amount of such excess distribution, even 
though there was no economic effect or cost. These charges are reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 2008, within noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. Also prior to 2009, we allocated the noncontrolling 
partners’ share of partnership losses to noncontrolling partners to the extent of the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. We generally 
recorded a charge when the noncontrolling partners’ share of partnership losses exceeds the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest, even 
though there is no economic effect or cost. These charges are reported in the consolidated statements of operations within noncontrolling interests in 
consolidated real estate partnerships. We did not record charges for distributions or losses in certain limited instances where the noncontrolling 
partner had a legal obligation and financial capacity to contribute additional capital to the partnership. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we 
recorded charges for partnership losses resulting from depreciation of approximately $9.0 million that were not allocated to noncontrolling partners 
because the losses exceeded the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. 

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of equity interests held by limited partners in consolidated real 

estate partnerships that have finite lives. The terms of the related partnership agreements generally require the partnership to be liquidated following 
the sale of the partnership’s real estate. As the general partner in these partnerships, we ordinarily control the execution of real estate sales and other 
events that could lead to the liquidation, redemption or other settlement of noncontrolling interests. The aggregate carrying amount of noncontrolling 
interests in consolidated real estate partnerships is approximately $291.5 million at December 31, 2010. The aggregate fair value of these interests varies 
based on the fair value of the real estate owned by the partnerships. Based on the number of classes of finite-life noncontrolling interests, the number 
of properties in which there is direct or indirect noncontrolling ownership, complexities in determining the allocation of liquidation proceeds among 
partners and other factors, we believe it is impracticable to determine the total required payments to the noncontrolling interests in an assumed 
liquidation at December 31, 2010. As a result of real estate depreciation that is recognized in our financial statements and appreciation in the fair value 
of real estate that is not recognized in our financial statements, we believe that the aggregate fair value of our noncontrolling interests exceeds their 
aggregate carrying amount. As a result of our ability to control real estate sales and other events that require payment of noncontrolling interests and 
our expectation that proceeds from real estate sales will be sufficient to liquidate related noncontrolling interests, we anticipate that the eventual 
liquidation of these noncontrolling interests will not have an adverse impact on our financial condition. 

Changes in our ownership interest in consolidated real estate partnerships generally consist of our purchase of an additional interest in or the 

sale of our entire interest in a consolidated real estate partnership. The effect on our equity of our purchase of additional interests in consolidated real 
estate partnerships during the year ended December 31, 2010 is shown in the consolidated statement of equity and further discussed in Note 3. Our 
purchase of additional interests in consolidated real estate partnerships had no significant effect on our equity during the years ended December 31, 
2009 and 2008. The effect on our equity of sales of our entire interest in consolidated real estate partnerships is reflected in our consolidated financial 
statements as sales of real estate and accordingly the 

F-17  

 
Table of Contents

effect on our equity is reflected as gains on disposition of real estate, less the amounts of such gains attributable to noncontrolling interests, within 
consolidated net (loss) income attributable to Aimco common stockholders. 

Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership  

Noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership consist of common OP Units, High Performance Units and preferred OP Units held by 

limited partners in the Aimco Operating Partnership other than Aimco. We allocate the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss to the holders of 
common OP Units and High Performance Units based on the weighted average number of common partnership units (including those held by us) and 
High Performance Units outstanding during the period. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the holders of common OP Units and equivalents had a weighted 
average ownership interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership of was approximately 7%, 7% and 10%, respectively. Holders of the preferred OP Units 
participate in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss only to the extent of their preferred distributions. See Note 10 for further information 
regarding noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

Revenue Recognition  

Our properties have operating leases with apartment residents with terms averaging 12 months. We recognize rental revenue related to these 

leases, net of any concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We recognize revenues from property management, asset 
management, syndication and other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable. 

Advertising Costs  

We generally expense all advertising costs as incurred to property operating expense. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, for 

both continuing and discontinued operations, total advertising expense was $14.2 million, $21.7 million and $31.8 million, respectively.  

Insurance  

We believe that our insurance coverages insure our properties adequately against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, 
tornado, flood, and other perils. In addition, we have insurance coverage for substantial portions of our property, workers’ compensation, health, and 
general liability exposures. Losses are accrued based upon our estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured losses incurred using certain actuarial 
assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on our experience. 

Stock-Based Compensation  

We recognize all stock-based employee compensation, including grants of employee stock options, in the consolidated financial statements 

based on the grant date fair value and recognize compensation cost, which is net of estimates for expected forfeitures, ratably over the awards’ 
requisite service period. See Note 12 for further discussion of our stock-based compensation.  

Tax Credit Arrangements  

We sponsor certain partnerships that own and operate apartment properties that qualify for tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, and for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, subsidized rents 
under HUD’s Section 8 program. These partnerships acquire, develop and operate qualifying affordable housing properties and are structured to 
provide for the pass-through of tax credits and deductions to their partners. The tax credits are generally realized ratably over the first ten years of the 
tax credit arrangement and are subject to the partnership’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations for a period of 15 years. Typically, we are 
the general partner with a legal ownership interest of one percent or less. We market limited partner interests of at least 99 percent to unaffiliated 
institutional investors (which we refer to as tax credit investors or investors) and receive a syndication fee from each investor upon such investor’s 
admission to the partnership. At inception, each investor agrees to fund capital contributions to the partnerships. We agree to perform various 
services for the partnerships in exchange for fees over the expected 

F-18  

 
Table of Contents

duration of the tax credit service period. The related partnership agreements generally require adjustment of each tax credit investor’s required capital 
contributions if actual tax benefits to such investor differ from projected amounts. 

We have determined that the partnerships in these arrangements are variable interest entities and, where we are general partner, we are generally 

the primary beneficiary that is required to consolidate the partnerships. When the contractual arrangements obligate us to deliver tax benefits to the 
investors, and entitle us through fee arrangements to receive substantially all available cash flow from the partnerships, we account for these 
partnerships as wholly owned subsidiaries. Capital contributions received by the partnerships from tax credit investors represent, in substance, 
consideration that we receive in exchange for our obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to the investors, and the receipts are 
recognized as revenue in our consolidated financial statements when our obligation to the investors is relieved upon delivery of the expected tax 
benefits. 

In summary, our accounting treatment recognizes the income or loss generated by the underlying real estate based on our economic interest in 

the partnerships. Proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax credits are recognized as revenue proportionately as the tax benefits are 
delivered to the tax credit investors and our obligation is relieved. Syndication fees and related costs are recognized in income upon completion of the 
syndication effort. We recognize syndication fees in amounts determined based on a market rate analysis of fees for comparable services, which 
generally fell within a range of 10% to 15% of investor contributions during the periods presented. Other direct and incremental costs incurred in 
structuring these arrangements are deferred and amortized over the expected duration of the arrangement in proportion to the recognition of related 
income. Investor contributions in excess of recognized revenue are reported as deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets.  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net $1.0 million reduction of syndication fees due to our determination that certain 
syndication fees receivable were uncollectible. We recognized no syndication fee income during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the year 
ended December 31, 2008, we recognized syndication fee income of $3.4 million. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we 
recognized revenue associated with the delivery of tax benefits of $28.9 million, $36.6 million and $29.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 
2009, $114.7 million and $148.1 million, respectively, of investor contributions in excess of the recognized revenue were included in deferred income in 
our consolidated balance sheets. 

Discontinued Operations  

We classify certain properties and related assets and liabilities as held for sale when they meet certain criteria. The operating results of such 

properties as well as those properties sold during the periods presented are included in discontinued operations in both current periods and all 
comparable periods presented. Depreciation is not recorded on properties once they have been classified as held for sale; however, depreciation 
expense recorded prior to classification as held for sale is included in discontinued operations. The net gain on sale and any impairment losses are 
presented in discontinued operations when recognized. See Note 13 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.  

Derivative Financial Instruments  

We primarily use long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse debt to avoid, among other things, risk related to fluctuating interest 
rates. For our variable rate debt, we are sometimes required by our lenders to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest 
rate swap or cap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on 
variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate cap agreements effectively limit our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the 
underlying variable interest rate. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are reflected as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and periodic 
changes in fair value are included in interest expense or equity, as appropriate. The interest rate caps are not material to our financial position or results 
of operations. 

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $52.3 million, and recorded fair values of 
$2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, reflected in accrued liabilities and other in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2010, these 
interest rate swaps had a weighted average term of 10.1 years. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and  

F-19  

 
Table of Contents

recognize any changes in their fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity to the extent of their 
effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of these instruments and the related amounts of such changes that were reflected as an adjustment of 
accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity and as an adjustment of earnings (ineffectiveness) are discussed in the foregoing Fair Value 
Measurements section. 

If the forward rates at December 31, 2010 remain constant, we estimate that during the next twelve months, we would reclassify into earnings 
approximately $1.6 million of the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss. If market interest rates increase above the 3.43% weighted 
average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps we will benefit from net cash payments due to us from our counterparty to the interest rate swaps.  

We have entered into total rate of return swaps on various fixed-rate secured tax-exempt bonds payable and fixed-rate notes payable to convert 

these borrowings from a fixed rate to a variable rate and provide an efficient financing product to lower our cost of borrowing. In exchange for our 
receipt of a fixed rate generally equal to the underlying borrowing’s interest rate, the total rate of return swaps require that we pay a variable rate, 
equivalent to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index, or SIFMA, rate for tax-exempt bonds payable and the 
30-day LIBOR rate for notes payable, plus a risk spread. These swaps generally have a second or third lien on the property collateralized by the related 
borrowings and the obligations under certain of these swaps are cross-collateralized with certain of the other swaps with a particular counterparty. The 
underlying borrowings are generally callable at our option, with no prepayment penalty, with 30 days advance notice, and the swaps generally have a 
term of less than five years. The total rate of return swaps have a contractually defined termination value generally equal to the difference between the 
fair value and the counterparty’s purchased value of the underlying borrowings, which may require payment by us or to us for such difference. 
Accordingly, we believe fluctuations in the fair value of the borrowings from the inception of the hedging relationship generally will be offset by a 
corresponding fluctuation in the fair value of the total rate of return swaps. 

We designate total rate of return swaps as hedges of the risk of overall changes in the fair value of the underlying borrowings. At each reporting 
period, we estimate the fair value of these borrowings and the total rate of return swaps and recognize any changes therein as an adjustment of interest 
expense. We evaluate the effectiveness of these fair value hedges at the end of each reporting period and recognize an adjustment of interest expense 
as a result of any ineffectiveness. 

Borrowings payable subject to total rate of return swaps with aggregate outstanding principal balances of $276.9 million and $352.7 million at 

December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are reflected as variable rate borrowings in Note 6. Due to changes in the estimated fair values of these debt 
instruments and the corresponding total rate of return swaps, we increased the carrying amount of property loans payable by $4.8 million and 
$5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and reduced the carrying amount of property loans payable by $20.1 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2008, with offsetting adjustments to the swap values in accrued liabilities, resulting in no net effect on net income. 
Refer to the foregoing Fair Value Measurements section for further discussion of fair value measurements related to these arrangements. During 2010, 
2009 and 2008, we determined these hedges were fully effective and accordingly we made no adjustments to interest expense for ineffectiveness.

At December 31, 2010, the weighted average fixed receive rate under the total return swaps was 6.8% and the weighted average variable pay rate 
was 1.6%, based on the applicable SIFMA and 30-day LIBOR rates effective as of that date. Further information related to our total return swaps as of

Beginning in 2008, we applied the FASB’s revised accounting provisions related to fair value measurements, which are codified in FASB ASC 

Topic 820. These revised provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value 
estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted 
prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s 
own data. We adopted the revised fair value measurement provisions that apply to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements of financial 
assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2008, and the provisions that apply to the remaining fair value measurements effective January 1, 2009, and at 
those times determined no transition adjustments were required. 

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and 

includes three levels defined as follows: 

Level 1 —  
Level 2 —  

   Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets 

Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument 

Level 3 —  

   Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value 

measurement. 

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for our significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or 
nonrecurring basis. Although some of the valuation methodologies use observable market inputs in limited instances, the majority of inputs we use are 
unobservable and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. 

Real Estate  

From time to time, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount of a property exceeds the 
estimated fair value, for properties classified as held for use, or the estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs, for properties classified as 
held for sale. Additionally, we are generally required to initially measure real estate recognized in connection with our consolidation of real estate 
partnerships at fair value.

We estimate the fair value of real estate using income and market valuation techniques using information such as broker estimates, 

purchase prices for recent transactions on comparable assets and net operating income capitalization analyses using observable and 
unobservable inputs such as capitalization rates, asset quality grading, geographic location analysis, and local supply and demand 
observations. For certain properties classified as held for sale, we may also recognize the impairment loss based on the contract sale price, which 
we believe is representative of fair value, less estimated selling costs. 

Notes Receivable  

We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow 

projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the 
contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in 
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the real 
estate, which represents the primary source of loan repayment. The fair value of real estate is estimated through income and market valuation 
approaches using information such as broker estimates, purchase prices for recent transactions on comparable assets and net operating income 
capitalization analyses using observable and unobservable inputs such as capitalization rates, asset quality grading, geographic location 
analysis, and local supply and demand observations. 

Interest Rate Swaps  

We recognized interest rate swaps at their estimated fair value. 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. 

Total Rate of Return Swaps  

Our total rate of return swaps have contractually-defined termination values generally equal to the difference between the fair value and 
the counterparty’s purchased value of the underlying borrowings. Upon termination, we are required to pay the counterparty the difference if 
the fair value is less than the purchased value, and the counterparty is required to pay us the difference if the fair value is greater than the 
purchased value. The underlying borrowings are generally callable, at our option, at face value prior to maturity and with no prepayment penalty. 
Due to our control of the call features in the underlying borrowings, we believe the inherent value of any differential between the fixed and 
variable cash payments due under the swaps would be significantly discounted by a market participant willing to purchase or assume any rights 
and obligations under these contracts. 

The swaps are generally cross-collateralized with other swap contracts with the same counterparty and do not allow transfer or 
assignment, thus there is no alternate or secondary market for these instruments. Accordingly, our assumptions about the fair value that a 
willing market participant would assign in valuing these instruments are based on a hypothetical market in which the highest and best use of 
these contracts is in-use in combination with the related borrowings, similar to how we use the contracts. Based on these assumptions, we 
believe the termination value, or exit value, of the swaps approximates the fair value that would be assigned by a willing market participant. We 
calculate the termination value using a market approach by reference to estimates of the fair value of the underlying borrowings, which are 
discussed below, and an evaluation of potential changes in the credit quality of the counterparties to these arrangements. We compare our 
estimates of the fair value of the swaps and related borrowings to the valuations provided by the counterparties on a quarterly basis.  

Non-recourse Property Debt  

We recognize changes in the fair value of the non-recourse property debt subject to total rate of return swaps discussed above, which we 

have designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, we are generally required 

F-22  

 
Table of Contents

to initially measure non-recourse property debt recognized in connection with our consolidation of real estate partnerships at fair value.  

We estimate the fair value of debt instruments using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to 
observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, collateral quality and loan-to-value ratios on similarly encumbered 
assets within our portfolio. These borrowings are collateralized and non-recourse to us; therefore, we believe changes in our credit rating will not 
materially affect a market participant’s estimate of the borrowings’ fair value.  

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair 
values. Furthermore, although we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different 
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities could result in a different estimate of fair value at the 
reporting date. 

The table below presents amounts at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (and the changes in fair value between such dates) for significant items 
measured in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands). Certain of these fair value measurements are based on 
significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. When a determination is made to classify a fair value measurement 
within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value 
measurement. However, Level 3 fair value measurements typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable 
components that can be validated to observable external sources; accordingly, the changes in fair value in the table below are due in part to 
observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

(1)  During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we reduced the aggregate carrying amounts of $74.2 million and $473.9 million, respectively, 
for real estate assets classified as held for sale to their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. These impairment losses recognized 
generally resulted from a reduction in the estimated holding period for these assets. In periods prior to their classification as held for sale, we 
evaluated the recoverability of their carrying amounts based on an analysis of the undiscounted cash flows over the then anticipated holding 
period.

(2)  In connection with our adoption of ASU 2009-17 (see preceding discussion of Variable Interest Entities) and reconsideration events during the 

year ended December 31, 2010, we consolidated 17 partnerships at fair value. With the exception of such partnerships’ investments in real estate 
properties and related non-recourse property debt obligations, we determined the carrying amounts of the related assets and liabilities 
approximated their fair values. The difference between our recorded investments in such partnerships and the fair value of the assets and liabilities 
recognized in consolidation, resulted in an adjustment of consolidated equity (allocated between Aimco and noncontrolling interests) for those 
partnerships consolidated in connection with our adoption of ASU 2009-17. For the partnerships we consolidated at fair value due to 
reconsideration events during the year ended December 31, 2010, the difference between our recorded investments in such partnerships and the 
fair value of the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests recognized upon consolidation resulted in our recognition of a gain, which is 
included in gain on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 2010. We recognized no similar gain as a result of our consolidation of partnerships during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Disclosures Regarding Fair Value of Financial Instruments  

We believe that the aggregate fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term secured debt approximates their 

aggregate carrying value at December 31, 2010, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. We estimate fair value for 
our notes receivable and debt instruments as discussed in the preceding Fair Value Measurements section The estimated aggregate fair value of our 
notes receivable was approximately $126.0 million and $126.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as compared to carrying amounts of 
$137.6 million and $139.6 million, respectively. See Note 5 for further information on notes receivable. The estimated aggregate fair value of our 
consolidated debt (including amounts reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately $5.6 billion and $5.7 billion at 
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as compared to the carrying amounts of $5.5 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. See Note 6 and Note 7 for 
further details on our consolidated debt. Refer to Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion regarding certain of our fixed rate debt that 
is subject to total rate of return swap instruments. 

Income Taxes  

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intend to continue to 

operate in such a manner. Our current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the 
Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned 
assets and categories of income. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will generally not be subject to United States Federal corporate income tax on 
our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and 
stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation. 

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to United States Federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on our 

undistributed income. We also will be required to pay a 100% tax on any net income on non-arms length transactions between us and a TRS (described 
below) and on any net income from sales of property that was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course. We and our stockholders 
may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or our stockholders 
reside. In addition, we could also be subject to the alternative minimum tax, or AMT, on our items of tax preference. The state and local tax laws may 
not conform to the United States Federal income tax treatment. Any taxes imposed on us reduce our operating cash flow and net income.  

F-24  

 
Table of Contents

Certain of our operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management, are conducted through 

taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subsidiaries of the Aimco Operating Partnership, and each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a C-
corporation that has not elected REIT status and as such is subject to United States Federal corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate our 
ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents and investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. We also use TRS 
entities to hold investments in certain properties. 

For our TRS entities, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for Federal income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to 
be in effect when the differences reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance when we determine based on available 
evidence that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. We recognize the tax consequences associated with intercompany transfers 
between the REIT and TRS entities when the related assets are sold to third parties, impaired or otherwise disposed of for financial reporting purposes.  

In March 2008, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service that it intended to examine the 2006 Federal tax return for the Aimco Operating 

Partnership. During June 2008, the IRS issued AIMCO-GP, Inc., the general and tax matters partner of the Aimco Operating Partnership, a summary 
report including the IRS’s proposed adjustments to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2006 Federal tax return. In addition, in May 2009, we were 
notified by the IRS that it intended to examine the 2007 Federal tax return for the Aimco Operating Partnership. During November 2009, the IRS issued 
AIMCO-GP, Inc. a summary report including the IRS’s proposed adjustments to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2007 Federal tax return. The matter 
is currently pending administratively before IRS Appeals and the IRS has made no determination. We do not expect the 2006 or 2007 proposed 
adjustments to have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations. 

Concentration of Credit Risk  

Financial instruments that potentially could subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of notes receivable and total 

rate of return swaps. Approximately $89.3 million of our notes receivable, or 1.2% of the carrying amount of our total assets, at December 31, 2010, are 
collateralized by 84 buildings with 1,596 residential units in the West Harlem area of New York City. There are no other significant concentrations of 
credit risk with respect to our notes receivable due to the large number of partnerships that are borrowers under the notes and the geographic 
diversification of the properties that serve as the primary source of repayment of the notes. 

At December 31, 2010, we had total rate of return swap positions with two financial institutions totaling $277.3 million. We periodically evaluate 

counterparty credit risk associated with these arrangements. At the current time, we have concluded we do not have material exposure. In the event 
either counterparty were to default under these arrangements, loss of the net interest benefit we generally receive under these arrangements, which is 
equal to the difference between the fixed rate we receive and the variable rate we pay, may adversely impact our results of operations and operating 
cash flows. 

Comprehensive Income or Loss  

As discussed in the Derivative Financial Instruments section, we recognize changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges as changes in 
accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, before the effects of noncontrolling interests, 
our consolidated comprehensive loss totaled $90.7 million and $43.4 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, our consolidated 
comprehensive income totaled $624.9 million. 

Earnings per Share  

We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents, participating 

securities and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period (see Note 14).

Use of Estimates  

The preparation of our 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.  

Reclassifications and Adjustments  

Certain items included in the 2009 and 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including 

adjustments for discontinued operations. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we reduced the investment and noncontrolling interest balances for certain of our consolidated 

partnerships by $38.7 million related to excess amounts allocated to the investments upon our consolidation of such partnerships.  

NOTE 3 —  Real Estate and Partnership Acquisitions and Other Significant Transactions 

Real Estate Acquisitions  

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we did not acquire any significant real estate properties. 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we acquired three conventional properties with a total of 470 units, located in San Jose, California, 
Brighton, Massachusetts and Seattle, Washington. The aggregate purchase price of $111.5 million, excluding transaction costs, was funded using 
$39.0 million in proceeds from property loans, $41.9 million in tax-free exchange proceeds (provided by 2008 real estate dispositions) and the remainder 
in cash. 

Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Partnership Interests  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired the remaining noncontrolling limited partnership interests in two consolidated 
partnerships, in which our affiliates serve as general partner, for total consideration of $19.9 million. This consideration consisted of $12.5 million in 
cash, $6.9 million in common OP Units and $0.5 million of other consideration. We also acquired for $1.8 million additional noncontrolling interests in a 
consolidated partnership for $1.2 million in cash and other consideration. We recognized the $27.4 million excess of the consideration paid over the 
carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests acquired as an adjustment of additional paid-in capital within Aimco equity. During the years ended 
December 31, 2009 and 2008, we did not acquire any significant noncontrolling limited partnership interests. 

Disposition of Unconsolidated Real Estate and Other  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $10.7 million in net gains on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other. These 

gains were primarily related to sales of investments held by partnerships we consolidated in accordance with our adoption of ASU 2009-17 (see 
Note 2) and in which we generally hold a nominal general partner interest. Accordingly, these gains were primarily attributed to the noncontrolling 
interests in these partnerships. 

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized $21.6 million in net gains on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other. Gains 
recognized in 2009 primarily consist of $8.6 million related to our receipt in 2009 of additional proceeds related to our disposition during 2008 of one of 
the partnership interests (discussed below), $4.0 million from the disposition of our interest in a group purchasing organization (discussed below), 
$5.5 million from our disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships and $3.5 million of net gains related to various other 
transactions. 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $97.4 million in net gains on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other, which 

primarily consisted of a $98.4 million gain recognized on the disposal of our interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships that owned two 
properties with 671 units.

Sale of Interest in Group Purchasing Organization  

During 2009, we sold our interest in an unconsolidated group purchasing organization to an unrelated entity for $5.9 million, resulting in the 

recognition of a gain on sale of $4.0 million, which is included in gain on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other in our consolidated 
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. This gain was partially offset by a $1.0 million provision for income tax. We also had a 
note receivable from another principal in the group purchasing organization, which was collateralized by its equity interest in the entity. In connection 
with the sale of our interest, we reevaluated collectibility of the note receivable and reversed $1.4 million of previously recognized impairment losses, 
which is reflected in provision for losses on notes receivable, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received payment of the remaining outstanding $1.6 million balance on the note.  

Casualty Loss Related to Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Ike  

During 2008, Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Ike caused severe damage to certain of our properties located primarily in Florida and Texas, 

respectively. We incurred total losses of approximately $33.9 million, including property damage replacement costs and clean-up costs. After 
consideration of estimated third party insurance proceeds and the noncontrolling interest partners’ share of losses for consolidated real estate 
partnerships, the net effect of these casualties on net income available to Aimco common stockholders was a loss of approximately $5.0 million.  

Restructuring Costs  

In connection with 2008 property sales and an expected reduction in redevelopment and transactional activities, during the three months ended 
December 31, 2008, we initiated an organizational restructuring program that included reductions in workforce and related costs, reductions in leased 
corporate facilities and abandonment of certain redevelopment projects and business pursuits. This restructuring effort resulted in a restructuring 
charge of $22.8 million, which consisted of: severance costs of $12.9 million; unrecoverable lease obligations of $6.4 million related to space that we will 
no longer use; and the write-off of deferred transaction costs totaling $3.5 million associated with certain acquisitions and redevelopment 
opportunities that we will no longer pursue. We completed the workforce reductions by March 31, 2009. 

During 2009, in connection with continued repositioning of our portfolio, we completed additional organizational restructuring activities that 
included reductions in workforce and related costs and the abandonment of additional leased corporate facilities and redevelopment projects. Our 2009 
restructuring activities resulted in a restructuring charge of $11.2 million, which consisted of severance costs and personnel related costs of 
$7.0 million; unrecoverable lease obligations of $2.6 million related to space that we will no longer use; the write-off of deferred costs totaling $0.9 
million associated with certain redevelopment opportunities that we will no longer pursue; and $0.7 million in other costs.  

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the remaining accruals associated with these restructuring activities were $4.7 million and $6.9 million, 

respectively, for estimated unrecoverable lease obligations, which will be paid over the remaining terms of the affected leases, and at December 31, 
2009, we had $4.7 million accrued for severance and personnel related costs, which were paid during the first quarter of 2010.  

NOTE 4 — 

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships 

We owned general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships owning approximately 173, 77 and 85 properties at 

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We acquired these interests through various transactions, including large portfolio acquisitions and 
offers to individual limited partners. Our total ownership interests in these unconsolidated real estate partnerships typically ranges from less than 1% 
to 50% and in some instances may exceed 50%.

The increase in the number of partnerships we account for using the equity method and the related selected combined financial information for 
such partnerships is primarily attributed to our adoption of ASU 2009-17 (see Note 2), pursuant to which we consolidated 18 investment partnerships 
that hold investments in other unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Prior to our consolidation of these investment partnerships, we had no 
recognized basis in the investment partnerships’ investments in the unconsolidated real estate partnerships and accounted for our indirect interests in 
these partnerships using the cost method. We generally hold a nominal general partnership interest in these investment partnerships and substantially 
all of the assets and liabilities of these investment partnerships are attributed to the noncontrolling interests in such entities.  

As a result of our acquisition of interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships at a cost in excess of the historical carrying amount of the 

partnerships’ net assets and our consolidation of investment partnerships and their investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships at fair 
values that may exceed the historical carrying amount of the unconsolidated partnerships’ net assets, our aggregate investment in unconsolidated 
partnerships at December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $59.3 million and $105.3 million, respectively, exceeds our share of the underlying historical partners’ 
deficit of the partnerships by approximately $63.0 million and $109.5 million, respectively.

respectively, in notes that were secured by interests in real estate or interests in real estate partnerships. We earn interest on these secured notes 
receivable at an annual interest rate of 12.0%. 

Included in the notes receivable from non-affiliates at December 31, 2010 and 2009, are $103.9 million and $102.2 million, respectively, in notes

partnerships. We earn interest on these secured notes receivable at various annual interest rates ranging between 3.5% and 12.0% and averaging 
4.1%. 

Notes receivable from non-affiliates at December 31, 2010 and 2009, include notes receivable totaling $89.3 million and $87.4 million, respectively, 

from certain entities (the “borrowers”) that are wholly owned by a single individual. We originated these notes in November 2006 pursuant to a loan 
agreement that provides for total funding of approximately $110.0 million, including $16.4 million for property improvements and an interest reserve, of 
which $3.8 million had not been funded as of December 31, 2010. The notes mature in November 2016, bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%, are partially 
guaranteed by the owner of the borrowers, and are collateralized by second mortgages on 84 buildings containing 1,596 residential units and 43 
commercial spaces in West Harlem, New York City. In conjunction with the loan agreement, we entered into a purchase option and put agreement with 
the borrowers under which we may purchase some or all of the buildings and, subject to achieving specified increases in rental income, the borrowers 
may require us to purchase the buildings (see Note 8). We determined that the stated interest rate on the notes on the date the loan was originated was 
a below-market interest rate and recorded a $19.4 million discount to reflect the estimated fair value of the notes based on an estimated market interest 
rate of LIBOR plus 4.0%. The discount was determined to be attributable to our real estate purchase option, which we recorded separately in other 
assets. Accretion of this discount, which is included in interest income in our consolidated statements of operations, totaled $0.9 million in 2010, 
$0.9 million in 2009 and $0.7 million in 2008. The value of the purchase option asset will be included in the cost of properties acquired pursuant to the 
option or otherwise be charged to expense. We determined that the borrowers are VIEs and, based on qualitative and quantitative analysis, determined 
that the individual who owns the borrowers and partially guarantees the notes is the primary beneficiary. 

As part of the March 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc., we invested $50.0 million for a 20% passive interest in Casden Properties LLC, 
an entity organized to acquire, re-entitle and develop land parcels in Southern California. Based upon the profit allocation agreement, we account for 
this investment as a note receivable from a non-affiliate and through 2008 were amortizing the discounted value of the investment to the $50.0 million 
previously estimated to be collectible, through the initial dissolution date of the entity. As a result of a declines in land values in Southern California, 
we determined our recorded investment amount was not fully recoverable, and accordingly recognized impairment losses of $20.7 million ($12.4 million 
net of tax) during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and $16.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax) during the three months ended December 31, 
2008. 

The activity in the allowance for loan losses related to our notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships and non-affiliates, in

In addition to the provisions shown above, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we wrote off $0.5 million of receivables that were not

The remaining $27.0 million of our par value notes receivable at December 31, 2010, is estimated to be collectible and, therefore, interest income 
on these par value notes is recognized as earned. Of our total par value notes outstanding at December 31, 2010, notes with balances of $17.5 million 
have stated maturity dates and the remainder have no stated maturity date and are governed by the terms of the partnership agreements pursuant to 
which the loans were extended. At December 31, 2010, none of the par value notes with stated maturity dates were past due. The information in the 
table above regarding our discounted notes excludes the impairment related to our investment in Casden Properties LLC. No interest income has been 
recognized on our investment in Casden Properties LLC following the initial impairment recognized during 2008. 

In addition to the interest income recognized on impaired loans shown above, we recognized interest income, including accretion, of $7.7 million, 

$5.8 million and $9.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to our remaining notes receivable.  

NOTE 6 —  Non-Recourse Property Tax-Exempt Bond Financings, Non-Recourse Property Loans Payable and Other Borrowings 

We finance our properties primarily using long-dated, fixed-rate debt that is collateralized by the underlying real estate properties and is non-
recourse to us. The following table summarizes our property tax-exempt bond financings related to properties classified as held for use at December 31, 
2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Fixed rate property tax-exempt bonds payable mature at various dates through January 2050. Variable rate property tax-exempt bonds payable 

mature at various dates through July 2033. Principal and interest on these bonds are generally payable in semi-annual installments with balloon 
payments due at maturity. Certain of our property tax-exempt bonds at December 31, 2010, are remarketed periodically by a remarketing agent to 
maintain a variable yield. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket the bonds, then the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. We believe that 
the likelihood of this occurring is remote. At December 31, 2010, our property tax-exempt bond financings related to properties classified as held for use 
were secured by 38 properties with a combined net book value of $722.0 million. At December 31, 2010, property tax-exempt bonds payable with a 
weighted average fixed rate of 6.7% have been converted to a weighted average variable rate of 1.6% using total rate of return swaps that

Fixed rate property notes payable mature at various dates through December 2049. Variable rate property notes payable mature at various dates 

through November 2030. Principal and interest are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at 
maturity. At December 31, 2010, our property notes payable related to properties classified as held for use were secured by 350 properties with a 
combined net book value of $5,721.9 million. In connection with our 2010 adoption of ASU 2009-17(see Note 2), we consolidated and deconsolidated 
various partnerships, which resulted in a net increase in property loans payable of approximately $61.2 million as compared to 2009. The remainder of 
the increase in property loans payable during the year is primarily due to refinancing activities. At December 31, 2010, property loans payable with a 
weighted average fixed rate of 7.5% have been converted to a weighted average variable rate of 1.6% using total rate of return swaps that mature 
during 2012, which is the same year the notes payable mature. These property loans payable are presented above as variable rate debt at their carrying 
amounts, or fair value, of $28.7 million. See Note 2 for further discussion of our total rate of return swap arrangements.  

At December 31, 2009, we had a secured revolving credit facility with a major life company that provided for borrowings of up to $200.0 million. 

During 2010, the credit facility was modified to reduce allowed borrowings to the then outstanding borrowings and to remove the option for new loans 
under the facility. During 2010, we also exercised an option to extend the maturity date to October 2011 for a nominal fee. At December 31, 2010, 
outstanding borrowings of $13.6 million related to properties classified as held for use are included in 2012 maturities below based on a remaining one-
year extension option for nominal cost. 

Our consolidated debt instruments generally contain covenants common to the type of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants 

establishing minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial 
covenants pertaining to our consolidated debt instruments. 

Other borrowings totaled $47.0 million and $53.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We classify within other borrowings notes 

payable that do not have a collateral interest in real estate properties but for which real estate serves as the primary source of repayment. These 
borrowings are generally non-recourse to us. At December 31, 2010, other borrowings includes $38.5 million in fixed rate obligations with interest rates 
ranging from 4.5% to 10.0% and $8.5 million in variable rate obligations bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1.75%. The maturity dates for other 
borrowings range from 2011 to 2014, although certain amounts are due upon occurrence of specified events, such as property sales.

NOTE 7 —  Credit Agreement and Term Loan 

We have an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended, with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to 

as the Credit Agreement. In addition to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and an Aimco subsidiary are also borrowers under the Credit 
Agreement. 

As of December 31, 2010, the Credit Agreement consisted of $300.0 million of revolving loan commitments (an increase of $120.0 million from the 

revolving commitments at December 31, 2009). As of December 31, 2009, the Credit Agreement consisted of aggregate commitments of $270.0 million, 
consisting of the $90.0 million outstanding balance on our term loan and $180.0 million of revolving commitments. During 2010, we repaid in full the 
remaining balance on the term loan. 

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on a pricing grid determined by leverage (either at LIBOR plus 4.25% with a 
LIBOR floor of 1.50% or, at our option, a base rate equal to the Prime rate plus a spread of 3.00%). The revolving credit facility matures May 1, 2013, 
and may be extended for an additional year, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 35.0 basis point fee on the total revolving 
commitments. As of December 31, 2010, we had the capacity to borrow $260.3 million pursuant to our credit facility (after giving effect to $39.7 million 
outstanding for undrawn letters of credit). 

The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the maintenance of specified ratios with respect to total indebtedness 

to gross asset value, total secured indebtedness to gross asset value, aggregate recourse indebtedness to gross asset value, variable rate debt to total 
indebtedness, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage; the maintenance of a minimum adjusted tangible net worth; and limitations regarding 
the amount of cross-collateralized debt. The Credit Agreement includes other customary covenants, including a restriction on distributions and other 
restricted payments, but permits distributions during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of our funds from 
operations for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain our REIT status. We were in 
compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2010. 

The lenders under the Credit Agreement may accelerate any outstanding loans if, among other things: we fail to make payments when due 

(subject to applicable grace periods); material defaults occur under other debt agreements; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events occur; material 
judgments are entered against us; we fail to comply with certain covenants, such as the requirement to deliver financial information or the requirement 
to provide notices regarding material events (subject to applicable grace periods in some cases); indebtedness is incurred in violation of the 
covenants; or prohibited liens arise.

NOTE 8 —  Commitments and Contingencies 

Commitments  

We did not have any significant commitments related to our redevelopment activities at December 31, 2010. We enter into certain commitments 
for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those commitments generally have terms of one year 
or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures. 

As discussed in Note 5, we have committed to fund an additional $3.8 million in loans on certain properties in West Harlem in New York City. In 

certain circumstances, the obligor under these notes has the ability to put properties to us, which would result in a cash payment of approximately 
$30.6 million and the assumption of approximately $118.6 million in property debt. The ability to exercise the put is dependent upon the achievement of 
specified thresholds by the current owner of the properties. 

As discussed in Note 11, we have a potential obligation to repurchase $20.0 million in liquidation preference of our Series A Community 

Reinvestment Act Preferred Stock for $14.0 million. 

Tax Credit Arrangements  

We are required to manage certain consolidated real estate partnerships in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions 

that apply to our 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 and require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are 
reported as deferred income in our consolidated balance sheet, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining 
compliance periods for our tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to 15 years. We do not anticipate that any material 
refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements. 

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 and our role as general partner in certain 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. 

Environmental  

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, 

of certain potentially hazardous materials present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based 
fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible 
for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect 
occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with 
investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection 
therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury,  

F-33  

 
Table of Contents

disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of these materials through a 
licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws. 
These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with 
the ownership, operation and management of properties, we could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our 
properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future. 

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 property 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 December 31, 2010, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Operating Leases  

We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment. In addition, we sublease certain of our office space to 

tenants under non-cancelable subleases. Approximate minimum annual rentals under operating leases and approximate minimum payments to be 
received under annual subleases are as follows (in thousands):

Substantially all of the office space subject to the operating leases described above is for the use of our corporate offices and area operations. 

Rent expense recognized totaled $6.6 million, $7.7 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 
Sublease receipts that offset rent expense totaled approximately $1.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 
and 2008, respectively. 

As discussed in Note 3, during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we commenced restructuring activities pursuant to which we 

vacated certain leased office space for which we remain obligated. In connection with the restructurings, we accrued amounts representing the 
estimated fair value of certain lease obligations related to space we are no longer using, reduced by estimated sublease amounts. At December 31, 
2010, approximately $4.7 million related to the above operating lease obligations was included in accrued liabilities related to these estimates.  

Additionally, during January 2011, we provided notice of our intent to terminate one of the leases included in the table above effective March 31, 

2012, and we paid the required lease termination payment of approximately $1.3 million. Obligations shown in the table above reflect our revised 
obligations following the lease buyout.

At December 31, 2010, we increased the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets by $1.8 million for certain state net operating losses as 
well as certain low income housing credits based on a determination that it was more likely than not that such assets will not be realized prior to their 
expiration.

We do not anticipate any material changes in existing unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months. Because the statute of limitations has 
not yet elapsed, our Federal income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2007, and subsequent years and certain of our State income tax returns 
for the year ended December 31, 2005, and subsequent years are currently subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other tax 
authorities. Approximately $3.3 million of the unrecognized tax benefit, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As discussed in Note 2, the IRS 
has issued us summary reports including its proposed adjustments to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2007 and 2006 Federal tax returns. We do not 
expect the proposed adjustments to have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations. Our policy 
is to include interest and penalties related to income taxes in income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations.

In accordance with the accounting requirements for stock-based compensation, we may recognize tax benefits in connection with the exercise of 

stock options by employees of our taxable subsidiaries and the vesting of restricted stock awards. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 
2009, we had no excess tax benefits from employee stock option exercises and vested restricted stock awards. 

Significant components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes are as follows and are classified within income tax benefit in continuing

Income taxes paid totaled approximately $1.9 million, $4.6 million and $13.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 

respectively. 

At December 31, 2010, we had net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of approximately $73.7 million for income tax purposes that expire in 

years 2027 to 2030. Subject to certain separate return limitations, we may use these NOLs to offset all or a portion of taxable income generated by our 
taxable REIT subsidiaries. We generated approximately $9.8 million of NOLs during the year ended December 31, 2010, as a result of losses from our 
taxable REIT subsidiaries. The deductibility of intercompany interest expense with our taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to certain intercompany 
limitations based upon taxable income as required under Section 163(j) of the Code. As of December 31, 2010, interest carryovers of approximately 
$23.7 million, limited by Section 163(j) of the Code, are available against U.S. Federal tax without expiration. The deferred tax asset related to these 
interest carryovers is approximately $9.2 million. Additionally, our low-income housing and rehabilitation tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 
2010, were approximately $7.7 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2012 to 2029. The net deferred tax asset related to these credits is 
approximately $6.0 million. 

For income tax purposes, dividends paid to holders of Common Stock primarily consist of ordinary income, return of capital, capital gains, 
qualified dividends and unrecaptured Section 1250 gains, or a combination thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, dividends

(3)  On December 18, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $2.08 per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, that 

was paid on January 29, 2009, to stockholders of record on December 29, 2008. A portion of the special dividend represented an early payment of 
the regular quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share that would otherwise have been paid in February 2009. Pursuant to certain provisions in the 
Code, this dividend was deemed paid by us and received by our stockholders in 2008.

Transactions Involving Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership 

In December 2008, October 2008, July 2008, and December 2007, the Aimco Operating Partnership declared special distributions payable on 

January 29, 2009, December 1, 2008, August 29, 2008 and January 30, 2008, respectively, to holders of record of common OP Units and High 
Performance Units on December 29, 2008, October 27, 2008, July 28, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The special distributions were paid on 
common OP Units and High Performance Units in the amounts listed below. The Aimco Operating Partnership distributed to Aimco common OP Units 
equal to the number of shares we issued pursuant to our corresponding special dividends (discussed in Note 11) in addition to approximately $0.60 per 
unit in cash. Holders of common OP Units other than Aimco and holders of High Performance Units received the distributions entirely in cash.

Various classes of preferred OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership are outstanding. Preferred OP Units entitle the holders thereof to a 

preference with respect to distributions or upon liquidation. Depending on the terms of each class, these preferred OP Units are convertible into 
common OP Units or redeemable for cash, or at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Common Stock, and are paid distributions varying from 
1.8% to 8.8% per annum per unit, or equal to the dividends paid on Common Stock based on the conversion terms. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 
a total of 3.1 million preferred OP Units were outstanding with redemption values of $82.6 million and $85.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010 
and 2009, these preferred OP Units were redeemable into approximately 3.2 million and 5.2 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, or cash at the 
Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, and were included in temporary equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

The effects on our equity of changes in our ownership interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership are reflected in our consolidated statement of 

equity as redemptions of Aimco Operating Partnership units for Common Stock and repurchases of common OP Units. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we purchased approximately 68,700 preferred OP Units from the holder in exchange for cash and other 

consideration, and during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 14,800 and 68,200 preferred OP Units, respectively, were 
tendered for redemption in exchange for

cash. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no preferred OP Units were tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Common 
Stock. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the redeemable preferred 
OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. 

Common OP Units  

The holders of the common OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid to 

holders of Common Stock, and may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Common Stock.  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired the noncontrolling limited partnership interests in certain of our consolidated real estate 

partnerships in exchange for cash and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s issuance of approximately 276,000 common OP Units. We completed no 
similar acquisitions of noncontrolling interests during 2009 or 2008. 

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 168,300 and 64,000 common OP Units, respectively, were redeemed in 
exchange for cash, and approximately 519,000 common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock in 2009. No common 
OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock in 2010. 

High Performance Units  

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Aimco Operating Partnership had outstanding 2,339,950 and 2,344,719, respectively, of high performance 
partnership units, or HPUs. The holders of HPUs are generally restricted from transferring these units except upon a change of control in the Aimco 
Operating Partnership. The holders of HPUs receive the same amount of distributions that are paid to holders of an equivalent number of the Aimco 
Operating Partnership’s outstanding common OP Units.

(3)  For the period from the date of original issuance through March 31, 2015, the dividend rate is a variable rate per annum equal to the Three-Month 

LIBOR Rate (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the Series A Community Reinvestment Act Perpetual Preferred Stock, or CRA 
Preferred Stock) plus 1.25%, calculated as of the beginning of each quarterly dividend period. The rate at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 1.54%. 
Upon liquidation, holders of the CRA Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of $500,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accumulated, 
accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared. The CRA Preferred Stock ranks prior to our Common Stock and on the same 
level as our outstanding shares of preferred stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up. The CRA Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to June 30, 2011, except in limited circumstances related to REIT 
qualification. On and after June 30, 2011, the CRA Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash, in whole or from time to time in part, at our option, at a 
price per share equal to the liquidation preference, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.

(4)  In June 2009, we entered into an agreement to repurchase $36.0 million in liquidation preference of our CRA Preferred Stock at a 30% discount to 
the liquidation preference. Pursuant to this agreement, in May 2010 and June 2009, we repurchased 20 shares and 12 shares, or $10.0 million and 
$6.0 million in liquidation preference, respectively, of CRA Preferred Stock for $7.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The holder of the CRA 
Preferred Stock may require us to repurchase an additional 40 shares, or $20.0 million in liquidation preference, of CRA Preferred Stock over the 
next two years, for $14.0 million. If required, these additional repurchases will be for up to $10.0 million in liquidation preference in May 2011 and 
2012. Based on the holder’s ability to require us to repurchase shares of CRA Preferred Stock pursuant to this agreement, $20.0 million and 
$30.0 million in liquidation preference of CRA Preferred Stock, or the maximum redemption value of such preferred stock, is classified within 
temporary equity in our consolidation balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On September 7, 2010, we issued 4,000,000 shares of our 7.75% Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class U 

Preferred Stock, in an underwritten public offering for a price per share of $24.09 (reflecting a price to the public of $24.86 per share, less an 
underwriting discount and commissions of $0.77 per share). The offering generated net proceeds of $96.1 million (after deducting underwriting 
discounts and commissions and transaction expenses). We recorded issuance costs of $3.3 million, consisting primarily of underwriting commissions, 
as an adjustment of additional paid-in capital within Aimco equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  

On October 7, 2010, using the net proceeds from the issuance of Class U Preferred Stock supplemented by corporate funds, we redeemed all of 
the 4,050,000 outstanding shares of our 9.375% Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, inclusive of 10,000 shares held by a consolidated subsidiary that 
are eliminated in consolidation. This redemption was for cash at a price equal to $25.00 per share, or $101.3 million in aggregate ($101.0 million net of 
eliminations), plus accumulated and unpaid dividends of $2.2 million. In connection with the redemption, we reflected $4.3 million of issuance costs 
previously recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital as an increase in net income attributable to preferred stockholders for purposes of 
calculating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010. 

In connection with our May 2010 and June 2009 CRA Preferred Stock repurchase discussed above, we reflected the $3.0 million and $1.8 million 
excess of the carrying value over the repurchase price, offset by $0.2 million of issuance costs previously recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in 
capital, as a reduction of net income attributable to preferred stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  

During 2008, we repurchased 54 shares, or $27.0 million in liquidation preference, of our CRA Preferred Stock for cash totaling $24.8 million. We 

reflected the $2.2 million excess of the carrying value over the repurchase price, offset by $0.7 million of issuance costs previously recorded as a 
reduction of additional paid-in capital, as a reduction of net income attributable to preferred stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.  

All classes of preferred stock are pari passu with each other and are senior to our Common Stock. The holders of each class of preferred stock 

are generally not entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders. Dividends on all shares of preferred stock are subject to declaration by our 
Board of Directors. All of the above outstanding 

F-40  

 
Table of Contents

classes of preferred stock have a liquidation preference per share of $25, with the exception of the CRA Preferred Stock, which has a liquidation 
preference per share of $500,000. 

The dividends paid on each class of preferred stock classified as equity in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in

Common Stock  

In December 2008, October 2008, July 2008 and December 2007, in connection with the Aimco Operating Partnership’s special distributions 

discussed in Note 10, our Board of Directors declared corresponding special dividends payable on January 29, 2009, December 1, 2008, August 29, 
2008 and January 30, 2008, respectively, to holders of record of our Common Stock on December 29, 2008, October 27, 2008, July 28, 2008 and 
December 31, 2007, respectively. A portion of the special dividends in the amounts of $0.60 per share represents payment of the regular dividend for 
the quarters ended December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008, June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and the remaining amount per share 
represents an additional dividend associated with taxable gains from property dispositions. Portions of the special dividends were paid through the 
issuance of shares of Common Stock. The table below summarizes information regarding these special dividends.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold 600,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to an At-The-Market, or ATM, offering 

program we initiated during 2010, generating $14.4 million of net proceeds. 

During 2008 and prior years, from time to time, we issued shares of Common Stock to certain non-executive officers who purchased the shares at 
market prices. In exchange for the shares purchased, the officers executed notes payable. These notes, which are 25% recourse to the borrowers, have 
a 10-year maturity and bear interest either at a fixed rate of 6% annually or a floating rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.85%, which is subject to an 
annual interest rate cap of typically 7.25%. Total payments in 2010 and 2009 on all notes from officers were $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In 
2010 and 2009, we reacquired approximately 9,000 and 94,000 shares of Common Stock from officers in exchange for the cancellation of related notes 
totaling $0.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. 

As further discussed in Note 12, during 2010, 2009 and 2008, we issued shares of restricted Common Stock to certain officers, employees and 

independent directors. 

Registration Statements  

Pursuant to the ATM offering program discussed above, we may issue up to 6.4 million additional shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, 

we and the Aimco Operating Partnership have a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of debt and equity securities by Aimco and 
debt securities by the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

NOTE 12 — 

Share-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans 

Stock Award and Incentive Plan  

We have a stock award and incentive plan to attract and retain officers, key employees and independent directors. Our plan reserves for 
issuance a maximum of 4.1 million shares, which may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, or 
other types of awards as authorized under our

plan. Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of our plan, the number of shares reserved for issuance has been adjusted to reflect the special dividends 
discussed in Note 11. At December 31, 2010 there were approximately 1.3 million shares available to be granted under our plan. Our plan is administered 
by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. In the case of stock options, the exercise price of the options 
granted may not be less than the fair market value of Common Stock at the date of grant. The term of the options is generally ten years from the date of 
grant. The options typically vest over a period of one to four or five years from the date of grant. We generally issue new shares upon exercise of 
options. Restricted stock awards typically vest over a period of three to five years. 

Refer to Note 2 for discussion of our accounting policy related to stock-based compensation.  

We estimated the fair value of our options using a Black-Scholes closed-form valuation model using the assumptions set forth in the table 
below. The expected term of the options was based on historical option exercises and post-vesting terminations. Expected volatility reflects the 
historical volatility of our Common Stock during the historical period commensurate with the expected term of the options that ended on the date of 
grant. The expected dividend yield reflects expectations regarding cash dividend amounts per share paid on our Common Stock during the expected 
term of the option and the risk-free interest rate reflects the annualized yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a term equal to the expected 
term of the option. The weighted average fair value of options and our valuation assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 
were as follows:

(1)  In connection with the special dividends discussed in Note 11, effective on the record date of each dividend, the number of options and exercise 

prices of all outstanding awards were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable plans based on the market price of our 
stock on the ex-dividend dates of the related special dividends. The adjustment to the number of outstanding options is reflected in the table 
separate from the other activity during the periods at the weighted average exercise price for those outstanding options. The exercise prices for 
options granted, exercised and forfeited in the table above reflect the actual exercise prices at the time of the related activity. The number and 
weighted average exercise price for options outstanding and exercisable at the end of year reflect the adjustments for the applicable special 
dividends. The adjustment of the awards pursuant to the special dividends is considered a modification of the awards, but did not result in a

change in the fair value of any awards and therefore did not result in a change in total compensation to be recognized over the remaining term of 
the awards.

The intrinsic value of a stock option represents the amount by which the current price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the 

option. Options outstanding at December 31, 2010, had an aggregate intrinsic value of $12.8 million and a weighted average remaining contractual term 
of 3.8 years. Options exercisable at December 31, 2010, had an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.4 million and a weighted average remaining contractual 
term of 3.1 years. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, was $2.9 million and less than 
$0.1 million, respectively. We may realize tax benefits in connection with the exercise of options by employees of our taxable subsidiaries. During the 
year ended December 31, 2010, we did not recognize any significant tax benefits related to options exercised during the year, and during the year ended 
December 31, 2009, as no stock options were exercised we realized no related tax benefits.

(1)  This represents shares of restricted stock issued to holders of restricted stock pursuant to the special dividends discussed in Note 11. The 

weighted average grant-date fair value for these shares represents the price of our stock on the determination date for each dividend. The 
issuance of the additional shares of restricted stock resulted in no incremental compensation expense.

The aggregate fair value of shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $4.4 million, $3.1 million and 

$16.5 million, respectively. 

Total compensation cost recognized for restricted stock and stock option awards was $8.1 million, $8.0 million and $17.6 million for the years 

ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, were capitalized. At 
December 31, 2010, total unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $7.8 million. We expect to recognize this compensation over a weighted 
average period of approximately 1.7 years. 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan  

Under the terms of our employee stock purchase plan, eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions up to 15% of their base 

compensation to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a five percent discount from its fair value on the last day of the calendar quarter during 
which payroll deductions are made. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, 5,662, 20,076 and 8,926 shares were purchased under this plan at an average price of $20.92, 
$8.82 and $23.86, respectively. No compensation cost is recognized in connection with this plan. Shares of Common Stock purchased under the 
employee stock purchase plan are treated as issued and outstanding on the date of purchase and dividends paid on such shares are recognized as a 
reduction of equity when such dividends are declared.

401(k) Plan  

We provide a 401(k) defined-contribution employee savings plan. Employees who have completed 30 days of service and are age 18 or older are 

eligible to participate. For the period from January 1, 2009 through January 29, 2009, and during the year ended December 31, 2008, our matching 
contributions were made in the following manner: (1) a 100% match on the first 3% of the participant’s compensation; and (2) a 50% match on the next 
2% of the participant’s compensation. On December 31, 2008, we suspended employer matching contributions effective January 29, 2009. We may 
reinstate employer matching contributions at any time. We incurred costs in connection with this plan of less than $0.1 million in 2010, $0.6 million in 
2009 and $5.2 million in 2008. 

NOTE 13 —  Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale 

We report as discontinued operations real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity and have been sold or meet the 
criteria to be classified as held for sale. We include all results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, in a separate component 
of income on the consolidated statements of operations under the heading “income from discontinued operations, net.” This treatment resulted in the 
retrospective adjustment of the 2009 and 2008 statements of operations and the 2009 balance sheet. 

We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. At the end of each 
reporting period, we evaluate whether such properties meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, including whether such properties are expected 
to be sold within 12 months. Additionally, certain properties that do not meet all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date 
may nevertheless be sold and included in discontinued operations in the subsequent 12 months; thus the number of properties that may be sold 
during the subsequent 12 months could exceed the number classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2010, we had no properties classified as held for 
sale and at December 31, 2009, after adjustments to classify as held for sale properties that were sold during 2010, we had 51 properties with an 
aggregate of 8,189 units classified as held for sale. Amounts classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of 
December 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands): 

Real estate, net

Assets held for sale

Gain on dispositions of real estate is reported net of incremental direct costs incurred in connection with the transactions, including any 

prepayment penalties incurred upon repayment of property loans collateralized by the properties being sold. Such prepayment penalties totaled 
$4.5 million, $29.0 million and $64.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We classify interest expense related to 
property debt within discontinued operations when the related real estate asset is sold or classified as held for sale. As discussed in Note 2, during the 
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we allocated $4.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of goodwill related to our real estate segment to the 
carrying amounts of the properties sold or classified as held for sale during the applicable periods. Of these amounts, $4.1 million and $8.7 million, 
respectively, were reflected as a reduction of gain on dispositions of real estate and $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were reflected as an 
adjustment of impairment losses.

NOTE 14 — 

Earnings per Share 

We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, participating securities, common stock 

equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted 
earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands, except per share data):

Income from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests 
Income from discontinued operations attributable to Aimco common stockholders 

Net (loss) income 
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests 
Income attributable to preferred stockholders 
Income attributable to participating securities

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the common share equivalents that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods 

totaled 7.2 million, 8.9 million and 9.2 million, respectively. These securities, representing stock options, have been excluded from the earnings per 
share computations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  

Participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted stock and shares purchased pursuant to officer loans, receive dividends similar to 
shares of Common Stock and totaled 0.6 million, 0.5 million and 1.0 million at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effect of participating 
securities is reflected in basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented above using the two-class method of allocating

distributed and undistributed earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the adjustment to compensation expense recognized 
related to cumulative dividends on forfeited shares of restricted stock exceeded the amount of dividends declared related to participating securities. 
Accordingly, distributed earnings attributed to participating securities during 2010 and 2009 were reduced to zero for purposes of calculating earnings 
per share using the two-class method.  

As discussed in Note 10, 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. During the periods presented, no 
common share equivalents related to these preferred OP units have been included in earnings per share computations because their effect was 
antidilutive.

NOTE 16 — 

Transactions with Affiliates 

We earn revenue from affiliated real estate partnerships. These revenues include fees for property management services, partnership and asset 
management services, risk management services and transactional services such as refinancing, construction supervisory and disposition (including 
promote income, which is income earned in connection with the disposition of properties owned by certain of our consolidated joint ventures). In 
addition, we are reimbursed for our costs in connection with the management of the unconsolidated real estate partnerships. These fees and 
reimbursements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 totaled $10.6 million, $18.5 million and $72.5 million, respectively. The total 
accounts receivable due from affiliates was $8.4 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.5 million, at December 31, 2010, and $23.7 million, 
net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.9 million, at December 31, 2009. 

Additionally, we earn interest income on notes from real estate partnerships in which we are the general partner and hold either par value or 
discounted notes. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we did not recognize a significant amount of interest income on par value 
notes from unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Accretion income recognized on discounted notes from affiliated real estate partnerships totaled 
$0.8 million, $0.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See Note 5 for additional information on 
notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships. 

NOTE 17 — 

Business Segments 

We have two reportable segments: conventional real estate operations and affordable real estate operations. Our conventional real estate 
operations consist of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and included 219 properties with 68,972 units as of December 31, 2010. Our 
affordable real estate operations consisted of 228 properties with 26,540 units as of December 31, 2010, with rents that are generally paid, in whole or 
part, by a government agency. 

Our chief operating decision maker uses various generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance and financial 
condition of the business, including: Net Asset Value, which is the estimated fair value of our assets, net of liabilities and preferred equity; Pro forma 
Funds From Operations, which is Funds From Operations excluding operating real estate impairment losses and preferred equity redemption related 
amounts; Adjusted Funds From Operations, which is Pro forma Funds From Operations less spending for Capital Replacements; property net 
operating income, which is rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes; proportionate 
property net operating income, which reflects our share of property net operating income of our consolidated and unconsolidated properties; same 
store property operating results; Free Cash Flow, which is net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; Free Cash Flow internal rate 
of return; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. Our chief operating decision maker emphasizes proportionate 
property net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. 

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we revised certain of the reports our chief operating decision maker uses to assess the 

performance of our business to include additional information about proportionate operating results of our segments. Based on the change in our 
measure of segment performance, we have recast the presentation of our segment results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, to be 
consistent with the current presentation.

properties, which are excluded from our measurement of segment performance but included in the related consolidated amounts, and our share of 
the results of operations of our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which are included in our measurement of segment performance but 
excluded from the related consolidated amounts.

(2)  Our chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of our conventional and affordable real estate operations using, among other 
measures, proportionate property net operating income, which excludes depreciation and amortization, provision for operating real estate 
impairment losses, property management revenues (which are included in rental and other property revenues) and property management expenses 
and casualty gains and losses (which are included in property operating expenses). Accordingly, we do not allocate these amounts to our 
segments.
