Item 8.01.  Other Events.

   On December 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the Company’s officers to take the necessary actions to enter into a joint venture agreement with Hartman Short Term Income Properties XIX, Inc. (“Hartman XIX”) to provide approximately 10% of the equity capital required to acquire, on an all cash basis, a retail shopping center with an expected total acquisition cost of approximately $19.15 million.  The acquisition of the joint venture interest by the Company is made contingent upon the following: (i) the sale of the minimum amount of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock required to release offering proceeds from the escrow account in accordance with the Company’s prospectus relating to its public offering; (ii) completion of satisfactory due diligence and appraisals regarding the property to be acquired by the joint venture; and (iii) the absence of a material adverse change to the property to be acquired by the joint venture prior to the acquisition date of the joint venture interest.

   On December 17, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors also authorized the payment of cash distributions to the Company’s shareholders, contingent upon the acquisition of the joint venture interest.  Distributions will (i) accrue daily to the Company’s shareholders of record as of the close of business each day commencing one day following the close of the acquisition of the joint venture interest and the property acquisition by the joint venture, (ii) be payable in cumulative amounts on or before the 20th day of each calendar month and (iii) be calculated at a rate of $0.001918 per share of common stock per day, a rate which, if paid each day over a 365-day period, is equivalent to a 7.0% annualized distribution rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share of common stock.
