PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

The registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI 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").

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, 1997, 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 1997 was 95%; the Villa averaged approximately 83%. For 1996,
occupancy at Players Club North averaged 94%, while the Villa was 92%. Occupancy
during 1995 averaged 96% at Players Club North and 96% at the Villa. The Villa
accounted for approximately 51% of total Partnership revenue generated during
1997. Players Club generated approximately 49% of total Partnership revenue
during the same year. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Villa
generated 55% and 54% of total Partnership revenue, and Players Club accounted
for 45% and 46% of total Partnership revenue, respectively.

The business of the Partnership is not seasonal. The Partnership, as of
December 31, 1997, 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, 1997 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 maintain sufficient cash to enable it to
not only fund current operations, but also to provide for future capital
improvements. The Partnership made distributions totaling $250,000 or $3.08 per
limited partnership unit during 1997. Management hopes to continue making
distributions in the coming year once the capital improvement work scheduled at
the properties is either completed or the full costs may be measured.

The Partnership has successfully refinanced both of the residential
complexes fully owned by the Partnership. The result was additional cash
provided by the new financing in excess of $1 million and significantly lower
interest rates resulting in an increase in monthly principal and interest
payment of only $2,300. Management feels that with the additional financing
proceeds, it will be able to continue to complete the capital improvements
necessary at the properties. Escrow accounts were set up as part of the new
mortgages; these accounts are to be used to cover the costs of the planned
improvements, but because releases of escrowed funds are typically not
immediate, for cash flow purposes the cash from operations is being used to pay
for the improvements. Management believes that when all work is done at the
properties, potential tenants will find them more attractive, thus resulting in
increased occupancy and a return to positive cash flow from operations.

The General Partners continue their efforts to locate a buyer for the
Lakeview property (the Partnership owns 16.22% of the Lakeview property), which
once again struggled with cash flow shortages during the current year. It is
felt that the sale of the property is in the best interests of both joint
venturers. The General Partners of the other joint venturer in this deal
continue to fund the property's shortfalls in cash flow, although are under no
obligation to do so. If this support does not continue, the venture may have to
go into default on the mortgage, at which point the property may be lost in a
foreclosure.

Foxhunt Apartments came under contract for sale during July 1996. The
sale was subject to a number of contingencies and was cancelable at any time by
the buyer. During 1997, the contract for sale was canceled by the buyer. The
General Partners of the joint venturers feel, however, that the sale of this
property is in the best interest of their respective limited partners, so
management continues to look for potential buyers through heavy marketing in
trade journals, newspapers, etc.

The partnership has conducted a review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be effected by the "year 2000 issue" and has
substantially developed an implementation plan to resolve such issues. The year
2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer programs that
have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities. Management has confirmed with its
software providers that all software currently in use is either "2000 compliant"
or will be with little adaptation and at no significant cost.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Cont.)


Results of Operations:

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership incurred a net
loss of $674,316 or $8.32 per limited partnership unit. This is a large increase
from the year ended December 31, 1996 when the loss totaled $222,082 or $2.74
per limited partnership unit. For the year ended December 31, 1995 losses
incurred totaled $770,855 or $9.51 per limited partnership unit.

Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled
$1,652,233, consisting of rental income of $1,531,418 and other income, which
includes interest, laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of
$120,815. The decrease in rental revenue from that of the previous years of 1996
and 1995 when it totaled $1,552,571 and $1,597,470, respectively, can be
attributed to an increase in vacancies, concessions and bad debts at The Villas.
Net rental income from Players Club increased from that of the previous year by
approximately $64,000 or 9%. Occupancy at Players Club remained relatively
constant throughout the year; the average occupancy for the year ended December
31, 1997 was 95%, a slight increase over that of the prior year. Players Club
continues to take advantage of the strong rental markets in which they are
located and are clearly benefiting from on-site personnel changes (as mentioned
in previous Management Discussions) made by management during 1997. The staff
continue to be attracting tenants through current leasing and marketing
strategies, as well as successfully retaining current tenants. Occupancy levels
at The Villas unfortunately decreased rather significantly during the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to those of the previous two years; for 1997,
occupancy at this complex averaged only 83%, while it was 92 % for 1996 and 96%
for 1995. In order to increase occupancy in the coming year, management intends
to continue offering attractive incentive programs (e.g., free rent, reduced
rent, etc.) to potential tenants for signed leases. Although this may be
successful in increasing occupancies, it is also likely in the short-term to
decrease revenues. There was also approximately an 8% decrease in other income
during the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to that earned in 1996. This
decrease is attributable to a decrease in laundry income at both The Villas and
Players Club and a decrease in interest income earned by The Villas due to a
decrease in the cash which the property held in the bank as a result of capital
improvement and maintenance work being done at the property.

Partnership expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled
$2,284,176, a substantial increase over the expenses of the year ended December
31, 1996 of $1,854,988, yet a 5% decrease from those of 1995 which were
$2,412,220. The largest increase in expenses may be seen in property operations
costs. Management has been performing a considerable amount of capital
improvements and repair work at the properties in this partnership due to
properties' age. Roof repairs were necessary at The Villas, while both complexes
have been doing significant interior and exterior painting and appliance and
carpet replacement. Payroll and related expenses likewise increased at both
complexes; more repair and maintenance work is being performed by on-site
employees as opposed to by outside contractors in order to keep costs under
control. Other operations expenses which increased include utility costs at both
complexes and slight increases were seen in insurance expense and real estate
taxes at The Villas. Management is continually looking for new ways to save on
expenses at the properties; as an example, utility costs are "regularly"
measured, and cost-savings ideas are implemented wherever possible and
practical. Insurance costs are also reviewed regularly, as are real estate taxes
with appeals being filed as deemed practical.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Cont.)

Results of Operations (Cont.):

A large increase in amortization expense was the result of new
financing obtained during the year on both The Villas and Players Club. The new
financing led to the write-off of the majority of the previously capitalized
mortgage acquisition costs. The write-off of such costs amounted to
approximately $208,665.

Administrative expenses totaled $344,466 for the year ended December
31, 1997, which continues the decrease noted in these expenses between the
previous two years when administrative expenses totaled $373,953 and $385,701,
respectively. A portion of the decrease is the result of a decrease in
management fees due to the decline in income at The Villas. Also contributing to
the decrease was lower legal costs associated with evictions and a decrease in
advertising costs, both of which were attributable to Players Club. Interest
expense increased by just over $107,000 when comparing 1997 to 1996, while the
increase from 1995 to 1997 was only $15,000. The increase between the current
year and the previous one was the result of the increase in the principal
balances on the mortgages at both The Villas and Players Club resulting from the
refinancings that took place on both of these mortgages during 1997.

Management has plans in the coming year to continue making 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.

The Foxhunt Joint Venture had net income of $41,576 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to losses of $129,030 and $270,419 for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The income is representative of
the increased rental revenue generated by this property, as well as a sizable
decrease in property operations expenses. In accordance with the joint venture
agreement, 11.5% of the income is allocated to the Partnership and 88.5% is
allocated to the other joint venturer. Accordingly, $4,781 of the 1997 income is
allocated to the Partnership and $36,795 is allocated to the other joint venture
partner; $114,988 of the 1996 loss was allocable to the other joint venturer,
while for the year 1995, $239,321 was allocable to the other venturer.

The Lakeview Village Joint Venture generated a net loss of $290,713 for
the year ended December 31, 1997. This loss continues to reflect the significant
obstacles this property has had over the past several years. Vacancies and
delinquencies remain the property's two biggest obstacles in 1997 as they were
in 1996; both items result in critical cash flow shortages for the property. The
loss for 1996 and 1995 was $222,600 and $262,797, 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 1997,
$47,154 of the loss is allocated to the Partnership and $243,559 is allocated to
the other joint venture partner; for 1996, $36,106 of the loss was allocated to
the Partnership and $186,494 of the loss was allocable to the other joint
venturer, while for the year 1995, $42,625 of the loss was allocated to the
Partnership and $220,172 was allocable to the other venturer.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the tax basis loss for the
Partnership was $656,602 or $8.10 per limited partnership unit compared to a tax
loss of $136,486 or $1.68 per unit for the year ended December 31, 1996 and a
tax loss of $707,299 or $8.73 per limited partnership unit for the year ended
December 31, 1995. 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, 1997 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, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also
include the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of
the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and the 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, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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.

REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VI B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


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,
1997, 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.

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) Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit:

The 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 $273,671, $269,181 and
$240,077 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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) Mortgage Costs:

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

(f) 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.

(g) Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:

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

(h) Accrued Rent Receivable:

Due to the nature of these accounts, rents receivable are fully
reserved for as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.

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 $2,703,147 at December 31, 1997 provides
for monthly principal and interest payments of $20,824, bearing interest at
8.48%. The note matures June 2027. The mortgage is secured by the assets of
Players Club Apartment complex. The mortgage payable of $2,273,368 outstanding
at December 31, 1996 was refinanced during 1997 into the mortgage described
above. No significant gain or loss on the refinancing occurred.

The Villa

A mortgage with a balance of $2,642,493 at December 31, 1997 provides
for monthly principal and interest payments of $19,864 bearing interest at
8.30%. The note matures June 2027. The mortgage is secured by the assets of The
Villa Apartment complex. The mortgage payable of $1,951,738 outstanding at

No significant gain or loss on the refinancing occurred.

The aggregate maturities of the mortgages for each of the next five

----------

==========


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 value of the mortgages payable
on Players Club and The Villa approximate their carrying values as the mortgages
were obtained in 1997.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(Continued)

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 B (RPILP-VI
B). 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
B contributed $390,000 to buy out the wraparound promissory note on the
property, while RPILP-II contributed the property net of the first mortgage.

On April 1, 1992, RPILP-II returned RPILP-VI B'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 B. The allocated net loss of
the Joint Venture has been included in the statements of operation of the
Partnership.

At December 31, 1997, 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 then ended.

Management had determined that a sale of the property was 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
agreement was subsequently canceled in 1997, and no additional agreements were
signed and effective as of December 31, 1997.

At December 31, 1997, substantial doubt exists as to whether RPILP-II
will continue as a going concern, due to cash flow difficulties, recurring
losses and a partners deficiency.

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 approximated $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 Partners' estimate of the fair market value of the apartment complex and
other net assets at the date of inception.

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 had determined that a sale of the property was 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
agreement was subsequently canceled in 1997, and no additional agreements were
signed and effective as of December 31, 1997.

At December 31, 1997, substantial doubt exists as to whether RPILP-IV
will continue as a going concern, due to cash flow difficulties, recurring
losses and a partners deficiency.

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.
