PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS
- - ------- --------

The registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-IV B ("the
Partnership"), is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1987 pursuant to
an Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), under the revised Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The
Partnership's general partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the "Corporate
General Partner"), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph M. Jayson (the "Individual
General Partner"). During 1988, Realmark Properties-IV B Associates
("Associates") and RPI Investors-II, Inc. (formally the "Corporate General
Partner") were merged with Realmark Properties, Inc.

The Registrant commenced the public offering of its limited partnership
units, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on November 11, 1988. The first interim
closing took place on February 2, 1989, and the initial $2,134,300 of
contributed capital was released to the Partnership at which time it began
operations. The offering was concluded February 28, 1990 at which time the
Partnership had raised $7,862,510, before deducting sales commissions and
syndication costs.

The Partnership's primary business and its only industry segment is to own
and operate income-producing real property for the benefit of its limited
partners. Through December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned two apartment
complexes, totaling 336 units. In addition, the Partnership is a partner in the
Foxhunt Apartments Joint Venture owning 11.5% of a 250 unit apartment complex in
Kettering, Ohio, and in the Lakeview Apartments Joint Venture, owning 16.22% of
a 168 unit apartment complex in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In June 1991, the Partnership purchased the 144 unit Players Club North
Apartments, located in Lutz, Florida, and the Villa Apartments, a 192 unit
apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina. The average occupancy level at
Players Club in 1996 was 94%; the Villa averaged approximately 92%. For 1995,
occupancy at Players Club North averaged 96%, while the Villa was 96%. Occupancy
during 1994 averaged 97% at Players Club North and 91% at the Villa. The Villa
accounted for approximately 55% of total Partnership revenue generated during
1996. Players Club generated approximately 45% of total Partnership revenue
during the year. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Villa
generated 54% and 52% of total Partnership revenue, and Players Club accounted
for 46% and 48% of total Partnership revenue, respectively.

The business of the Partnership is not seasonal. The Partnership, as of
December 31, 1996, did not directly employ any persons in a full-time position.
All regular employees who rendered services on behalf of the Partnership through
December 31, 1996 were employees of the Corporate General Partner or its
affiliates.

The Partnership's investment objectives are to (1) provide a return of
capital plus capital gains from the sale of appreciated properties; (2) provide
partners with cash distributions until properties are sold; (3) preserve and
protect partners capital and; (4) achieve build-up of equity through the
reduction of mortgage loans.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- - ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- - --------------------------------

The Partnership continues to benefit from two fairly strong markets for
residential rental properties: Players Club in Lutz, Florida and The Villas in
Greenville, South Carolina. The Partnership had positive cash flow from
operations through the year ended December 31, 1996. Management is confident
that the properties in this Partnership will continue to prosper financially in
the coming year. Expenses are felt to be under control as they are continually
being reviewed and monitored closely. With occupancy levels increasing at the
end of 1996 and continuing into 1997, rental revenue is expected to increase
thus adding to the Partnership's positive cash flow.

The Partnership made distributions totaling $18,976 or $0.23 per limited
partnership unit during the year ended December 31, 1996; distributions in 1995
totaled $77,910 or $0.96 per limited partnership unit, exclusive of a payment
constituting a return of capital totaling $500,000; 1994 distributions totaled
$40,529 or $0.50 per limited partnership unit. A larger distribution was not
made during 1996 as management was utilizing all cash to fund necessary
improvements to the properties. Management anticipates making a distribution to
all partners during the first quarter of 1997.

Foxhunt Apartments came under contract for sale during July 1996. The sale
was subject to a number of contingencies and was cancelable by the purchaser.
The sales price negotiated is $7,400,000. Until such time as all of the buyer's
due diligence was performed, no closing date could be established. It appears as
of the date of this writing that the sale will not close. The General Partners
feel that the sale of this property is in the best interest of the joint
venturers, so management continues to look for potential buyers.

Also on July 16, 1996 a contract for the sale of Lakeview Village was
entered into on behalf of the joint venturers. The sales price negotiated is
$4,090,000. The contract is subject to a number of contingencies and is
cancelable by the purchaser. No firm closing date on the sale has been
established to date. The General Partners continue to aggressively seek other
buyers for this property since the sale is deemed to be in the best interests of
the joint venturers.



Results of Operations:
- - ----------------------

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership incurred a net loss
of $222,082 or $2.74 per limited partnership unit. This is a large decrease from
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 when losses incurred totaled $770,855
or $9.51 per limited partnership unit and $503,738 or $6.21 per limited
partnership unit, respectively.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- - ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations (Con't.):
- - -------------------------------

Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$1,683,954, consisting of rental income of $1,552,571 and other income, which
includes interest, laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of
$131,383. The decrease in rental revenue from that of the previous years,
although slight, may be attributed to a decrease in occupancy at Players Club
mostly during the third quarter of 1996. Occupancy at the Villas remained
relatively constant throughout the year. At December 31, 1996, both Players Club
and The Villas appear to be taking advantage of the strong rental markets in
which they are located as occupancy percentages are increasing as compared to
the previous quarter. Management has made various changes in personnel at
Players Club in hopes that new, more experienced staff will attract new tenants,
as well as retain current tenants, while bringing a new managing and leasing
strategy to the property. In order to increase occupancies during 1996,
management offered incentive programs throughout the year, which as of year-end,
appears to have been successful based on the increased occupancy noted at
Players Club. Although this was successful in increasing occupancies, it did
result in a short-term decrease in revenues. Rental revenues in the year ended
December 31, 1995 amounted to $1,597,470 and in the year ended December 31, 1994
totaled $1,501,718. There was also approximately a 12% increase in other income
during the year ended December 31, 1996. This can be attributed to increases in
both laundry income and termination fees collected.

Partnership expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$1,854,988, a substantial decrease over the expenses of the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994 which were $2,412,220 and $2,051,597, respectively. The
largest decrease in expenses may be seen in property operations costs.
Management closely monitored such costs throughout the year, especially focusing
on expenses related to payroll and associates costs, repairs and maintenance and
contracted services. Utility costs were also measured frequently, and
cost-savings ideas were implemented wherever possible and practical. The
Partnership has achieved a decrease in operations expenses of a remarkable
$492,244 as compared to the previous year and approximately $112,000 over the
1994 amount. Administrative expenses totaled $373,953 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which was a relatively small decrease over the 1995 amount of
$385,701, yet a more sizable decrease when compared to the 1994 expenses
totaling $527,691. The decrease in administrative expenses paid to affiliates is
the result of decreased accounting and portfolio management fees and investor
services and brokerage fees. The increase in other administrative costs is due
to several line items, including increased legal fees and more costly
advertising campaigns, undertaken to increase occupancies.

Management has plans in the coming year to make several capital
improvements to both The Villas and Players Club, including but not limited to
interior painting, replacement of carpets and appliances, and improvements to
landscaping. This work is necessary in order to continually increase rental
revenue(s) generated, but in order to keep costs under control, management has
successfully obtained large price discounts on paint, carpeting and appliances
through negotiations with large national companies, such as Whirlpool.

The Foxhunt Joint Venture had a net loss of $129,930 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This loss is a fairly significant decrease as compared to
that of 1995 which amounted to $270,419 and that of 1994 which was $169,905. In
accordance with the joint venture agreement, 11.5% of the loss is allocated to
the Partnership and 88.5% is allocated to the other joint venturer. Accordingly,
$14,942 of the 1996 loss is allocated to the Partnership and $114,988 is
allocated to the other joint venture partner; $239,321 of the 1995 loss was
allocable to the other joint venturer, while for the year 1994, $150,366 was
allocable to the other venturer.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- - ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations (Con't.):
- - -------------------------------

The Lakeview Village Joint Venture generated a net loss of $222,600 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. This loss, although less than the two previous
years, is still a fairly significant indication of the problems this property
has had over the past several years. Vacancies and delinquencies were the
property's two biggest downfalls in 1996, both of which resulted in significant
cash flow difficulties for the property. The loss for 1995 and 1994 was $262,797
and $315,948, respectively. In accordance with the joint venture agreement,
16.22% of the loss is allocated to the Partnership and 83.78% is allocated to
the other joint venturer. For 1996, $36,106 of the loss is allocated to the
Partnership and $186,494 is allocated to the other joint venture partner;
$220,172 of the 1995 loss was allocable to the other joint venturer, while for
the year 1994, $264,701 was allocable to the other venturer.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the tax basis loss for the
Partnership was $136,486 or $1.68 per limited partnership unit compared to a tax
loss of $707,299 or $8.73 per unit for the year ended December 31, 1995 and a
tax loss of $520,051 or $6.42 per limited partnership unit for the year ended
December 31, 1994. The Partnership agreement provides for the taxable income or
losses to be allocated 97% to the Limited Partners and 3% to the General
Partners, and in accordance with this and the Internal Revenue Code, the loss
for the year ended December 31, 1996 was allocated in this fashion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Partners
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI B:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Realmark Property Investors
Limited Partnership- VI B as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14. These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of
the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 the
General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Realmark Property Investors Limited
Partnership-VI B at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended

Also, in our opinion, such 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.

1. FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP:
---------------------------------------

Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI B (the
"Partnership"), a Delaware Limited Partnership, was formed on September 21,
1987, to invest in a diversified portfolio of income producing real estate
investments.

In November 1988, the Partnership commenced the public offering of
units of limited partnership interest. Other than matters relating to the
organization, it had no business activities and, accordingly, had not incurred
any expenses or earned any income until the first interim closing (minimum
closing) of the offering, which occurred on February 2, 1989. All items of
income and expense arose subsequent to this date. The offer terminated on
February 28, 1990 with gross offering proceeds of $7,862,510. As of December 31,
1996, 78,265.1 units of limited partnership interest were sold and outstanding.
The General Partners are Realmark Properties, Inc., the Corporate General
Partner, and Mr. Joseph M. Jayson, the Individual General Partner. Joseph M.
Jayson is the sole stockholder of J.M. Jayson & Company Inc. Realmark
Properties, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M.
Jayson & Company, Inc.

Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners and their
affiliates can receive compensation for services rendered and reimbursement for
expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership (See Note 7).

The Partnership agreement also provides that distribution of funds,
revenues, and costs and expenses arising from partnership activities, exclusive
of any sale or refinancing activities, are to be allocated 97% to the Limited
Partners and 3% to the General Partners.

Net income or loss and proceeds arising from a sale or refinancing
shall be distributed first to the limited partners in amounts equivalent to a 7%
return on the average of their adjusted capital contributions, second, to the
corporate general partner a 3% property disposition fee provided, however, that
such fees shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amounts necessary to pay
to Limited Partners whose subscriptions were accepted by January 31,1989, an
additional cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 2% of their
average adjusted capital contributions, and to Limited Partners whose
subscriptions were accepted between February 1, 1989 and June 30, 1989, an
additional cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 1% of their
average adjusted capital contributions commencing with the first fiscal quarter
following the termination of the offering of units; third, to the limited
Partners, an amount equal to their capital contributions, then an amount equal
to an additional 5% of the average of their adjusted capital contributions;
fourth, to all Partners, an amount equal to their respective positive capital
balances; and finally, in the ratio of 87% to the Limited Partners and 13% to
the General Partners.

(Continued)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------

(a) Use of Estimates:
-----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b) Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Unit:
------------------------------------------

The income (loss) per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the year.

(c) Cash:
----

For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes the following
items: cash on hand; cash in checking; and money market savings.

(d) Property and Depreciation:
-------------------------

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets, and totaled $269,181, $240,077 and
$239,699 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
estimated useful lives of the Partnership assets range from 5 to 25 years.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. The Accelerated Cost Recovery System
or Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System is used to calculate depreciation
expense for tax purposes.

(e) Property Acquisition Costs:
--------------------------

Acquisition fees are paid to the General Partner as properties are
specified, which generally occurs when a contract to purchase the property is
entered into. Acquisition fees are allocated to specific properties when actual
closing takes place. There were no capitalized acquisition fees at December 31,
1996.

(Continued)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Con't.):
---------------------------------------------------

(f) Mortgage Costs:
--------------

Mortgage costs incurred in obtaining property mortgage financing have been
deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective mortgages.

(g) Rental Income:
-------------

Rental Income is recognized on the straight line method over the terms of
the leases. The outstanding leases with respect to these residential rental
properties owned are for terms of no more than one year.

(h) Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
-----------------------------

The Partnership's investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is accounted
for on the equity method.

(i) Accrued Rent Receivable:
-----------------------

Due to the nature of accrued rent receivable, all such receivables are
fully reserved. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $313,192 and $213,343 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


3. ACQUISITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY:
------------------------------

In June 1991, the Partnership acquired a 192 unit apartment complex (The
Villa) located in Greenville, South Carolina for a purchase price of $3,100,000
which included $373,493 in acquisition fees.

In June 1991, the Partnership acquired a 144 unit apartment complex
(Players Club North) located in Lutz, Florida for a purchase price of $3,007,000
which included $190,737 in acquisition fees.

On September 27, 1991, the Partnership entered into a joint venture
agreement for the purpose of operating the Foxhunt Apartments, located in
Dayton, Ohio. See Footnote 6 for further discussion related to the Foxhunt Joint
Venture.

On September 30, 1992, the Partnership entered into a joint venture
agreement for the purpose of operating the Lakeview Village Apartment complex,
located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. See Footnote 6 for further discussion related
to the Lakeview Joint Venture.

4. MORTGAGES PAYABLE:
-----------------

The partnership has the following mortgages:

Players Club North
------------------

A mortgage with a balance of $2,273,368 and $2,289,944 at December 31,1996
and 1995, respectively, providing for monthly principal and interest payments of
$20,402, bearing interest at 10%. The note matures July 1998. The mortgage is
secured by the assets of Players Club Apartment complex.

The Villa
---------

A mortgage with a balance of $1,951,738 and $1,973,825 at December 31,1996
and 1995, respectively, providing for monthly principal and interest payments of
$17,998, bearing interest at 9.875%. The note matures August 1998. The mortgage
is secured by the assets of The Villa Apartment complex.

The aggregate maturities of the mortgages for each of the next two years
are as follows:

Year Amount
- - ---- ------
1997 $ 43,853
1998 4,181,253
-------------------
$ 4,225,106
===================


5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-----------------------------------

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value of certain financial instruments. The fair value of cash,
accounts receivable - affiliates, other assets, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and security deposits and prepaid rents approximate the carrying value
due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Management has estimated that the fair values of the mortgages payable of
the Villa and Players Club, which have carrying values of $1,951,738 and
$2,273,368, respectively, based on currently available rates for debt of similar
terms, is approximately $2,008,000 and $2,325,000, respectively.


6. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES:
------------------------------

On September 27, 1991, the Partnership entered into an agreement and formed
a joint venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-II
(RPILP-II), and Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI A (RPILP-VI
A). The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of operating the Foxhunt
Apartments, located in Dayton, Ohio and owned by RPILP-II. Under the terms of
the Joint Venture agreement, the Partnership contributed $1,041,568 and RPILP-VI
A contributed $390,000 to buy out the wraparound promissory note on the
property, while RPILP-II contributed the property net of the first mortgage.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
(Continued)


6. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES (Con't.):
---------------------------------------

On April 1, 1992, RPILP-II returned RPILP-VI A's entire capital
contribution and $580,000 of the capital originally invested by the Partnership.
The amended Joint Venture agreement now provides that any income, loss, gain,
cash flow, or sale proceeds be allocated 88.5% to RPILP-II and 11.5% to the
Partnership. Prior to the buyout, the allocations were 63.14% to RPILP-II,
26.82% to the Partnership and 10.04% to RPILP-VI A. The allocated net loss of
the Joint Venture has been included in the statements of operation of the
Partnership.

At December 31, 1996, instances of noncompliance related to Foxhunt's
section 223f Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mortgage have
been identified.

In July 1996, the Partnership entered into a plan to dispose of the
property, plant and equipment of the Foxhunt Joint Venture with a carrying
amount of $2,886,577 at December 31, 1996 and a net loss of $129,930 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.

Management has determined that a sale of the property is in the best
interests of the investors. As of December 31, 1996, an agreement, cancelable by
the buyer, was signed with an anticipated sales price of $7,400,000. The actual
date of closing on the sale of the property will depend on financing
availability, tax credit availability and other factors.

Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of (the
"Statement") requires that assets to be disposed of be recorded at the lower of
carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The Statement also requires
that such assets not be depreciated during the disposal period, as the assets
will be recovered through sale rather than through operations. In accordance
with this Statement, the long-lived assets of the joint venture are recorded at
the carrying amount which is the lower of carrying value or fair value less
costs to sell, and have not been depreciated during the disposal period.
Depreciation expense, not recorded during the disposal period, for the year
ended December 31, 1996 totaled approximately $93,000.

The following financial statements of the Joint Venture are presented on a
historical-cost basis. The equity ownership was determined based upon the cash
paid into the Joint Venture by the Partnership as a percentage of the General
Partner's estimate of the fair market value of the apartment complex and other
net assets at the date of inception.

6. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES (Con't.)
-------------------------------------

On September 30, 1992, the Partnership entered into a joint venture
agreement with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership IV (RPILP-IV),
for the purpose of operating the Lakeview Apartment complex, located in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and owned by RPILP-IV. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Partnership contributed $175,414, while RPILP-IV contributed the property
net of the outstanding mortgage.

At December 31, 1996, substantial doubt exists as to whether RPILP-IV will
continue as a going concern, due to cash flow difficulties, recurring losses and
a total partners deficiency of approximately $3.2 million.

The joint venture agreement provides that any income, loss, cash flow, or
sale proceeds be allocated 16.22% to the Partnership and 83.78% to RPILP-IV. The
allocated net loss of the joint venture has been included in the statements of
operations for the Partnership.

The equity ownership percentage was determined based upon the cash paid
into the Joint Venture by the Partnership as a percentage of the General
Partner's estimate of the fair market value of the apartment complex and other
net assets at the date of inception.

In July 1996, the Partnership entered into a plan to dispose of the
property, plant and equipment of the Lakeview Village Apartments with a carrying
amount of $2,507,241 at December 31, 1996 and a net loss of $222,600 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.

Management has determined that a sale of the property is in the best
interests of the investors. As of December 31, 1996, an agreement, cancelable by
the buyer, was signed with an anticipated sales price of $4,090,000. The actual
date of closing on the sale of the property will depend on financing
availability, tax credit availability and other factors.

Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of (the
"Statement") requires that assets to be disposed of be recorded at the lower of
carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Statement also requires
that such assets not be depreciated during the disposal period, as the assets
will be recovered through sale rather than through operations. In accordance
with this Statement, the long-lived assets of the Partnership are recorded at
the carrying amount which is the lower of carrying value or fair value less
costs to sell, and have not been depreciated during the disposal period.
Depreciation expense, not recorded during the disposal period, for the year
ended December 31, 1996 totaled approximately $85,000.
