Item 8.01   Other Events.

On or about October 4, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a joint venture with White Oak Houston, LP.  Contemporaneously therewith, the joint venture purchased a 798 unit multi-family property located at 6425 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX  77057, from Post Palms at West, LLC.  The joint venture paid approximately $37.2 million for the property (including the $32.8 million purchase price, approximately $2.9 million reserve for renovations and $1.5 million for, among other things,  third party acquisition costs, insurance and real estate tax escrows), of which approximately $24.1 million was financed.  We contributed approximately $10.5 million to the joint venture in exchange for an 80% equity interest therein.
 
The $24.1 million loan bears interest at the rate of 4.85% per annum, is interest only until May 2015, amortizes on a 30 year amortization schedule thereafter, matures in October 2018, is secured by the acquired property, provides for customary events of default and is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary.
