BUSINESS

General
Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership which was formed on July 26, 2007 and commenced operations on October 1, 2007. We own in fee, operate and invest in multifamily residential rental properties, which we refer to as the Properties, located in both Maine and Texas. We also invest in subordinated notes secured by multifamily residential rental properties located in California, Alabama and Nevada, which we refer to as Real Estate Debt Investments. We refer to the Properties and Real Estate Debt Investments collectively as Real Estate Investments.
Our general partner, Resource Capital Partners, Inc., or the General Partner, is in the business of sponsoring and managing real estate investment limited partnerships and tenant in common programs, or TICs. Our General Partner operates and manages our Real Estate Investments on our behalf, and is responsible for evaluating, obtaining financing and refinancing for, and selling our Real Estate Investments on our behalf. Our General Partner is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc., or Resource America, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management sectors.
Our goals are to generate regular cash distributions from our operations, gains from the potential appreciation in the value of our Properties, and cash for our partners’ distributions from the sale or refinancing of the Properties or the sale or repayment in full of our Real Estate Debt Investments.
We will terminate on July 30, 2015, unless we are sooner dissolved or terminated. Our General Partner from time to time, in its discretion, may extend the term for up to an aggregate of two years. Our General Partner will have complete and exclusive discretion in the management of our business.
Our Management
As we do not have any officers, directors or employees, we rely solely on the officers and employees of our General Partner and its affiliates for the management of our Real Estate Investments. Our General Partner and its affiliates, Resource Real Estate Management, LLC and Resource Real Estate, Inc., also conduct business activities of their own in which we will have no economic interest. Employees of our General Partner and its affiliates who provide us with services are not required to work full-time on our affairs. These employees devote significant time to the affairs of our General Partner and its affiliates and are compensated by our General Partner and its affiliates for the services rendered to them. There may be significant conflicts between us and our General Partner and its affiliates regarding the availability of those employees to manage us and our Real Estate Investments.
Real Estate Manager
Resource Real Estate Management, LLC, or Resource Real Estate Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of our General Partner, manages or supervises the management of our Real Estate Investments under a real estate management agreement with us or the entity owning legal title to the Real Estate Investment in which we are participating. Resource Real Estate Management is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed in 2005 for the purpose of managing the real estate investments of our General Partner and its affiliates either for their own account or for other real estate programs. In October of 2007, Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., d/b/a Resource Residential, a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, was formed to manage the real estate investments of Resource Real Estate Management.
Resource Real Estate, Inc., or Resource Real Estate, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, is the parent company of our General Partner and an affiliate of Resource Real Estate Management, which will also manage our Real Estate Investments.
Distribution Allocations
Distributable cash, which includes both distributable cash from operations as well as from capital transactions, will be distributed as described below.
Distributable cash from operations will be distributed in the following order of priority:
|
●
|
first, 100% to the limited partners until they have each received distributions from us, including distributions of distributable cash from capital transactions, equal to their respective preferred return of 8.25% if they subscribed for their units on or before December 31, 2007 or 8% if they subscribed for their units after December 31, 2007, which we refer to as their Preferred Return; and
|
|
●
|
thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.
|
Distributable cash from capital transactions, which includes cash received from the sale or refinancing of a Property, or the sale or repayment in full of all outstanding principal and interest due and owing to us on a Real Estate Debt Investment, will be distributed in the following order of priority:
|
●
|
first, 100% to our limited partners until they have each received distributions from us, including distributions of distributable cash from operations, equal to their respective Preferred Return;
|
|
●
|
second, 100% to our limited partners until their respective adjusted capital contribution has been reduced to zero; and
|
|
●
|
thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.
|
An adjusted capital contribution is the amount originally paid for the limited partnership interest, less previous distributions of distributable cash from capital transactions.
Redemption of Units
We are permitted, in our General Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time, and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For example, if our General Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and foreseeable operating expenses, a unitholder’s request may be declined. In addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year, subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits interests. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our General Partner’s sole discretion. We will also determine the redemption price based on provisions set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement. To the extent the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General Partner. If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the same terms as we would have redeemed the units. As of the date of this report 3,000 units have been redeemed.
Sale of Units
From October 1, 2007 through May 19, 2008, we privately sold our limited partnership units at $10.00 per unit to accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. We sold a total of 3,713,492 units, including 204,678 units to our General Partner, for total proceeds, before commission, fees and expenses, of approximately $36.8 million. We refer to these sales herein as the Offering. Chadwick Securities, Inc., an affiliate of our General Partner, served as the dealer-manager in the Offering.

Results of Operations
We generate our income from the net revenues we receive from our Properties. We also may, in the future, generate funds from the sale or refinancing of our Properties or the sale or repayment of our Real Estate Debt Investments. Because we acquired our Real Estate Investments in late 2007 and early 2008, we do not expect that we will sell or refinance our Properties during at least the next year. Should economic conditions in the areas in which our Properties are located deteriorate, we could experience lower occupancy, lower rental revenues and higher operating costs, all of which could harm our operations and financial condition, reduce the value of our Properties and limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our limited partners.
Our Real Estate Debt Investments have not been generating revenue as a result of borrower defaults. In 2009, all three of our Real Estate Debt Investments were materially adversely affected by economic conditions in the United States and became delinquent. The senior lenders on the Properties formally declared their loans to be in default. The senior lenders on all three notes informed us that, because of borrowers’ defaults, the post default payment terms of the intercreditor agreements between the senior lenders and us had become effective. Pursuant to these agreements, the senior lenders must be repaid in full before we receive any current or accrued interest or principal. Based on management’s analysis, we placed all three loans on non-accrual status and reserved the entire balance. Once we place a loan on non-accrual, we recognize revenue only as cash is received. We have established an allowance for loan losses of approximately $2.6 million to fully reserve all three loans.
Our operating results and cash flows from our Properties are affected by four principal factors:
|
●
|
occupancy and rental rates,
|
|
●
|
property operating expenses,
|
|
●
|
interest rates on the related financing, and
|
|
●
|
capital expenditures.
|
The amount of rental revenues from our Properties depends upon their occupancy rates and concessions granted. We seek to maximize our occupancy rates through aggressive property-level programs, including, in particular, our lease assurance program and our Lease Rent Optimizer, or LRO, program which includes rent concessions and a substantial capital improvements program. Under our lease assurance program, we are marketing our apartment units to current and potential tenants who are worried about incurring substantial lease breakage penalties if they lose their jobs. The program allows tenants who sign new or renewal leases to terminate their leases without penalty within 45 days after they provide proof of an involuntary job loss. Under our LRO program, we seek to price our rents for apartment units on a daily basis, based upon inventory in the marketplace and competitors’ pricing. As a result of these programs, our Properties experienced an overall increase in the average occupancy rate during the year ended December 31, 2010 of approximately 2.8%, with an average occupancy rate of 93.72% as compared to an average occupancy rate during the same period in 2009 of 90.92%.
We seek to control operating expenses through our General Partner’s automated purchase order system that compares actual to budgeted expenses and requires management approval of variances, and through the use of third-party service providers to seek best available pricing.
Our existing financing is at fixed rates of interest and, accordingly, our interest cost has remained stable during the period of our ownership of the Properties. Because our existing financing extends through periods ranging from 2015 to 2018, we expect that our financing costs will remain stable during substantially all of our expected term.
Under our capital improvements program, more particularly described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we expect to spend approximately $4.9 million in the next four to six years for property improvements intended to increase the Properties’ appeal to tenants. As we implement planned improvements to our Properties, we seek to cause our occupancy rates and, potentially, rental rates and our cash flow from operating activities to increase.

Revenues – Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
We attribute the $136,000 increase in revenues principally to the increase in average occupancy rate at the Properties and the increase in the average effective rent per square foot at the Properties. This increase was partially offset by reduced interest income from the loans held for investment as a result of the loans being in default.
Expenses – Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
We attribute the $3.3 million decrease in expenses principally to the following:
|
●
|
a $2.6 million decrease in provision for loan losses; the loans were fully reserved for at December 31, 2009.
|
|
●
|
a $649,000 decrease in rental operating expenses reflecting the following:
|
|
–
|
reduced real estate tax expense of $129,000 at three properties due to the successful appeal of their tax assessments,
|
|
–
|
reduced turnover expenses of $112,000 for the Villas and Park Hill due to stabilizing occupancy rates;
|
|
–
|
reduced marketing expense of $88,000 for Villas and Park Hill due to the fact that occupancy rates stabilized so there was less marketing efforts; and
|
|
–
|
reduced payroll and temporary help expense of $120,000 due to the completion of successful leasing efforts at Park Hill and decreased electricity expense of $104,000 at Memorial Towers (as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); and
|
|
●
|
a $95,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses due to insurance proceeds received from a loss that occurred two years ago at Memorial Towers.
|
These decrease were partially offset by:
|
●
|
a $85,000 increase in depreciation and amortization due to an increase in the amount of personal property at the Properties.

Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and to control property operating expenses. The ability to generate cash from operations will depend on the occupancy rates, rates charged to tenants compared with competing properties in the area and the ability of tenants to pay rent. Occupancy rates can fluctuate based on changes in local market conditions where the Properties are located such as: excessive building resulting in an oversupply of similar properties, deterioration of surrounding areas, a decrease in market rates or local economic conditions including unemployment rates. The rental rates charged to tenants compared to competing properties can be impacted by a lack of perceived safety, convenience and attractiveness of a property.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, two of our Properties incurred one-time expenses, which we do not expect to reoccur in the future. At Park Hill, during late 2008 and early 2009, we experienced a decline in occupancy because a large number of residents worked for a government subcontractor whose contracts were cancelled; as a result, many residents terminated their leases and vacated the premises. The high volume of move-outs focused our efforts to quickly re-lease the property and increase occupancy. Park Hill’s average occupancy for the current year was 92.4% as compared to 87.8% in 2009. At Memorial Towers in 2009, we had a major pipe replacement project which caused the electricity usage at the property to increase which in turn increased our electricity expense. The project has been completed and the expense has since decreased.
The following table sets forth the capital expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 and estimated future capital expenditures which are discretionary in nature (in thousands):

Funding for future discretionary capital expenditures over the remaining life of the Partnership will come from both the cash reserves established when the Properties were purchased and future operating cash flows. Although our capital expenditures were nominal ($579,000) during the year ended December 31, 2010, we have planned a series of major capital projects for our Properties, such as repairs and renovations on the HVAC systems, parking improvements, and foundation work. We review future expenditures periodically and adjust them based on both operating results and local market conditions. We cannot assure you that we will complete projects currently planned or that we will not change our plans in response to changes in market conditions.
Our restricted cash represents escrow deposits with lenders to be used to pay real estate taxes, insurance and capital improvements.
Redemption of Units
We are permitted, in our General Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time, and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For example, if our General Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and foreseeable operating expenses, a unitholder’s request may be declined. In addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year, subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits interests. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our General Partner’s sole discretion. We will also determine the redemption price based on provisions set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement. To the extent the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General Partner. If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the same terms as we would have redeemed the units. As of the date of these financial statements 3,000 units have been redeemed.
Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and cost and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to certain accrued liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
Property Acquisitions. We allocated the purchase price of acquired properties to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values. We amortize the value of in-place leases over twelve months on a straight line basis.
Impairment. We review the carrying value of each Property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If we determine that an asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, we will record an impairment charge to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. We have not recognized any impairments of our Properties for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Loans held for Investment. We consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on market price, if available, the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs, or the present value of estimated cash flows.
We consider general and local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, casualty losses and other factors that may affect the underlying value of real estate when considering whether our Real Estate Debt Investments are impaired. The value of our Real Estate Debt Investments may also be affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations and liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Income from a property will be reduced if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space cannot be rented on favorable terms. In addition, we continuously monitor collections and payments from our borrowers and maintain an allowance for estimated losses based upon our historical experience and knowledge of specific borrower collection issues.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a $2.6 million provision for loan losses, fully reserving against our Real Estate Debt Investments. This provision is included on the consolidated statements of operations. See “– Results of Operations” for a discussion of this provision. At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million.
Revenue Recognition. We derive our revenue primarily from the rental of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of approximately twelve months. We recognize revenue in the period that rent is earned, which is on a monthly basis.
We recognize rent as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases with varying rental payments. We also recognize any incentives included in the lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent obligations, other than guarantees by the General Partner of certain limited standard expectations to the non-recourse nature of the mortgage notes which are secured by the Properties.
Recent Accounting Standards
Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. Adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events. In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance which removes the requirement to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective upon issuance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P. (a Delaware partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P. (“R-6” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership which owns and operates multifamily residential rental properties located in Maine and Texas (referred to as the "Properties"). The Partnership also has invested in subordinated notes secured by multifamily residential properties located in California, Alabama and Nevada. The Partnership was formed on July 26, 2007 and commenced operations on October 1, 2007. The Partnership was capitalized by an offering of partnership units which was closed on May 19, 2008. The General Partner, Resource Capital Partners, Inc. (“RCP” or “the GP”), is in the business of sponsoring and managing real estate investment limited partnership and tenant in common programs. RCP contributed $1,000 in cash as its minimum capital contribution to the Partnership. In addition, RCP holds a 5.0% limited partnership interest in the Partnership at both December 31, 2010 and 2009. RCP is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”), a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management sectors.
The Partnership will continue until July 30, 2015, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Agreement”). The GP has the right to extend the Partnership term for two one-year periods following the initial termination date, provided that all such extensions may not exceed two years in the aggregate.
The Agreement provides that income is allocated as follows: first, to the partners in proportion to and to the extent of the deficit balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts; second, to the partners in proportion to the allocations of Distributable Cash (as defined in the Agreement); and third, 100% to the limited partners (“LPs”). All losses are allocated as follows: first, 100% to the LPs until the LPs have been allocated losses equal to the excess, if any, of their aggregate capital account balances over the aggregate Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Agreement); second, to the partners in proportion to and to the extent of their respective remaining positive capital account balances, if any; and third, 100% to the LPs.
Distributable cash from operations, payable monthly, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs until the LPs have received their Preferred Return (as defined in the Agreement); and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.
Distributable cash from capital transactions, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs until the LPs have received their Preferred Return; second, 100% to the LP’s until their Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Agreement) have been reduced to zero; and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)
Principles of Consolidation – (Continued)
The Partnership owns a 100% interest in RRE Funding II, LLC (“Funding”), which owns three subordinated notes with a combined face value of $2.9 million and a carrying amount of $0.
All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnership estimates the allowance for uncollectible receivables and loan losses and adjusts the balance quarterly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership paid approximately $2.4 million in cash for interest.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred to obtain financing have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective yield method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes or credits resulting from earnings or losses are payable by or accrue to the benefit of the partners; accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in these consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and by the taxing authorities in those states in which the Partnership has significant business operations. The Partnership is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities. The Partnership may be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state/local income tax examinations for years 2007 through 2010.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is primarily derived from the rental of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of approximately twelve months. The Partnership recognizes revenue in the period that rent is earned, which is on a monthly basis.
Rents are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases with varying rental payments. Any incentives included in the lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases is approximately $4.0 million and $15,000 for the years ending 2011 and 2012, respectively, and none thereafter.
Loans Held for Investment, Net
The Partnership recognizes revenue from the loans it holds for investment as interest income using the effective yield method.
The initial investment made in a purchased loan includes the amount paid to the seller plus any fees. The initial investment frequently differs from the related loan’s principal amount at the date of purchase. This difference is recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the loan.
The Partnership initially records its loans at their purchase price, and subsequently accounts for them based on their outstanding principal plus or minus any unamortized premiums or discounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
Loans Held for Investment, Net – (Continued)
Interest income on loans includes interest at stated rates adjusted for amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into income using the effective yield method. When the Partnership purchases a loan or pool of loans at a discount, it evaluates whether all or a portion of the discount represents accretable yield. If a loan with a premium or discount is prepaid, the Partnership immediately recognizes the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase to interest income.
The Partnership considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on market price, if available, the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs, or the present value of estimated cash flows.
The Partnership considers general and local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, casualty losses and other factors that may affect the value of loans and real estate securing those loans. The value of loans and the related real estate may also be affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations and liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Income from a property that supports a loan’s debt service requirements will be reduced if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space cannot be rented on favorable terms. The Partnership continuously monitors collections and payments from its borrowers and maintains an allowance for estimated losses based upon its historical experience and its knowledge of specific borrower collection issues. An impaired real estate loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Partnership is pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan will be placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (1) management believes that contractual debt service payments will not be met; (2) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; or (3) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment. While on non-accrual status, the Partnership recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received. If the timing and amount of expected future cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated for a loan, and collection is not probable, the cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method, any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.6 million which is included in the consolidated statements of operations. At each of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million.
Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. There was no impairment loss recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Rental Properties
Rental properties are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Buildings and improvements and personal property are depreciated for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The value of in place leases is amortized over twelve months on a straight line basis. For income tax reporting purposes, the Partnership uses the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Useful lives used for calculating depreciation for financial reporting purposes are as follows:
Buildings and improvements
|
5 - 27.5 years
|
||
Personal property
|
3 - 15 years
|
Advertising
The Partnership expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in rental operating expenses, totaled $123,000 and $207,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Partnership to concentration of credit risk, consist of periodic temporary deposits of cash. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership had $2.7 million of deposits at various banks of which $831,000 was over the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. No losses have been experienced on such deposits.
Tenant Receivables
The majority of the Partnership’s receivables are due from tenants. Tenant receivables are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from tenants net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables. Payment terms vary and receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Partnership determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Partnership’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Partnership, the condition of the general economy and the industry as whole. The Partnership writes off receivables when they become uncollectible. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no allowance for uncollectible receivables.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses - In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events. In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance which removes the requirement to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective upon issuance.
Reclassification
Bad debt expense was reclassified from General and administrative expense to Operating expense in the 2009 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2010 presentation.

All loans are subordinate to first mortgage holders with payment terms of interest only through maturity. In 2009, the first mortgage holders informed the Partnership that the post default payment terms of the intercreditor agreements had become effective due to the continued default by the borrowers. Pursuant to these agreements, the first mortgage holders must be repaid in full before the Partnership may recover any current or accrued interest or principal. Based on management’s analysis, the Partnership placed all three loans on non-accrual status, discontinued the amortization and accretion of the discount and direct loan fees and costs and provided a specific allowance for each loan during 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the three subordinated loans owned by the Partnership were fully reserved. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for loan losses was approximately $2.6 million.

NOTE 8 – DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
|
●
|
Loans held for investment, net. The fair value of the loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
|
|
●
|
Mortgage notes payable. Rates currently available to the Partnership for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Disclosure Controls
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner, including its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. 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.
Our General Partner assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, the general partner used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our General Partner concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
|
|
AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|
We pay our General Partner and its affiliates the following fees for their services.
Property Management Fees
We pay Resource Real Estate Management, an affiliate of our General Partner, a monthly property management fee in an amount equal to 5% of our gross cash receipts from the operation of our Properties. This fee is for Resource Real Estate Management’s services in managing the Properties or obtaining and supervising subcontractor Property managers, which may be affiliates of Resource Real Estate Management or independent third-parties. Resource Real Estate Management is permitted to manage the Properties through a property management affiliate or subcontract the management of the Properties out to unaffiliated third-party subcontractors. If Resource Real Estate Management subcontracts the management of the Properties, then it will pay all management fees payable to the subcontractor managers of our Properties. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Resource Real Estate Management earned $391,000 and $376,000, respectively, in real estate property management fees.
Real Estate Debt Management Fees
We also pay Resource Real Estate Management a monthly real estate debt management fee equal to 0.167% (2% per annum) of the gross offering proceeds that have been, and continue to be, deployed in Real Estate Debt Investments. This fee is for Resource Real Estate Management’s services in monitoring the performance of our Real Estate Debt Investments, including:
|
●
|
the collection of amounts owed to us;
|
|
●
|
reviewing on an as-needed basis the underlying multifamily residential rental properties serving, directly or indirectly, as collateral for the Real Estate Debt Investments and the owners of those properties, and the markets in general, to identify any potential problem loans; and
|
|
●
|
determining whether or when to sell a Real Estate Debt Investment.
|
Resource Real Estate Management earned $59,000 in real estate debt management fees during each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Deferral of Real Estate Management Fees
We pay Resource Real Estate Management or its affiliates the real estate management fees for our Real Estate Investments from our operating revenues and our General Partner may, in its discretion, from time to time defer payment of all or any portion of such fees related to our Real Estate Investments, and accrue the same, if it deems our operating revenues are insufficient to pay such fees and still satisfy our investment objectives. We will pay any deferred fees to Resource Real Estate Management when our General Partner deems our operating revenues are sufficient to make such payment. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no fees had been deferred.
Investment Management Fees
We pay our General Partner or its affiliates an annual investment management fee payable from our revenues in an amount equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds from the offering that have been, and continue to be, deployed in Real Estate Investments. The investment management fee is for our General Partner’s professional services rendered in our administration, including, but not limited to, the preparation and distribution of our required quarterly and annual reports to our limited partners. Since the annual investment management fee is for our General Partner’s professional services, it is in addition to the reimbursements we pay our General Partner for certain administrative expenses that it and its affiliates incur on our behalf as described below in “– Reimbursement of Administrative Expenses and Direct Costs.” Up to 100% of our General Partner’s annual investment management fee is subordinated to our limited partners’ receipt of their Preferred Return. Our General Partner is entitled at any time to an additional share of our cash distributions to recoup any investment management fees or distributions that were previously subordinated to the extent that our cash distributions to our limited partners exceeded their Preferred Return. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our General Partner earned $339,000 and $349,000, respectively, in investment management fees, the payment of which was deferred under the subordination clause of the Partnership Agreement.
Property Financing Fee for Refinancing a Property
We pay our General Partner or its affiliates a property financing fee equal to 0.5% of the face amount of any refinancing we obtain for our interest in the Properties. This fee is for our General Partner’s or its affiliates’ services in obtaining the financing and negotiating its terms. The property financing fee for refinancing will not be paid for Real Estate Debt Investments. There were no refinancings of the Properties during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and, accordingly, no fees were paid.
Cash Distributions to Our General Partner
Our General Partner will receive distributions from us from the following sources:
|
●
|
distributable cash from operations;
|
|
●
|
distributable cash from capital transactions; and
|
|
●
|
cash distributions to the partners upon our liquidation.
|
Cash distributions from our operations will be first paid to our limited partners until they have received distributions totaling their Preferred Return and thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.
Cash distributions from capital transactions, which include cash we receive from the sale or refinancing of a Property or the sale or repayment in full of all outstanding principal and interest due and owing to us on a Real Estate Debt Investment, are distributed in the following order:
|
●
|
first, 100% to our limited partners until they receive distributions totaling their Preferred Return;
|
|
●
|
second, 100% to our limited partners until their respective adjusted capital contributions have been reduced to zero; and
|
|
●
|
thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.
|
When we dissolve and liquidate, we will distribute the liquidation proceeds in the following order of priority:
|
●
|
first, to the payment of our creditors in the order of priority provided by law, except obligations to partners or their affiliates;
|
|
●
|
next, to establish any reserve that our General Partner (or any other person effecting the winding up) determines is reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liability or obligation;
|
|
●
|
next, to the payment of all unpaid fees (other than our General Partner’s right to reimbursement of any previous subordination distributions to our limited partners) and other obligations owed by us to our General Partner and its affiliates (other than expense reimbursements), such as loans to us, in proportion to, and to the extent of, the unpaid fees, advances and other obligations to our General Partner and its affiliates under the Partnership Agreement;
|
|
●
|
next, to the payment of all expense reimbursements (other than our General Partner’s right to reimbursement of any previous subordination distributions to our limited partners) to which our General Partner or its affiliates may be entitled under the Partnership Agreement;
|
|
●
|
next, to the partners in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive balances of their capital accounts;
|
|
●
|
next, 100% to our limited partners until they have received their respective Preferred Returns;
|
|
●
|
next, to our General Partner as reimbursement for any previous subordination distributions to our limited partners, if any; and
|
|
●
|
thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.
|
Conflicts of Interest
Our General Partner is subject to various conflicts of interest and, since our General Partner controls our management, these conflicts will not be resolved through arms-length negotiations. However, some provisions of our Partnership Agreement are designed to protect our limited partners’ interests in conflict of interest matters, such as provisions which:
|
●
|
limit the actions our General Partner and its affiliates may take in managing us and our Real Estate Investments;
|
|
●
|
limit the compensation and fees payable to them; and
|
|
●
|
limit the expenses for which they will receive reimbursement.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Agreement does not directly address every potential conflict of interest that may arise. In those matters, our General Partner must exercise its judgment consistent with its fiduciary duties and there are no established conflict of interest resolution standards or procedures. Therefore, these conflicts may be resolved in the best interest of our General Partner. Some of these potential conflicts are discussed below.
In addition, our General Partner depends on its indirect parent company, Resource America, for management and administrative functions and financing for capital expenditures. Neither our Partnership Agreement nor any other agreement requires Resource America to pursue a future business strategy that favors us. Resource America’s directors and officers have a fiduciary duty to make decisions in the best interests of the stockholders of Resource America. Because our General Partner is allowed to take into account the interests of other parties such as Resource America in resolving its conflicts of interest, this has the effect of limiting our limited partners’ ability to take action against our General Partner and its affiliates.
The Compensation Payable to our General Partner and its Affiliates Is Not the Result of Arms’ Length Negotiations
Our General Partner and its affiliates receive compensation in connection with our operation and liquidation as described above. Although our General Partner believes that the compensation is reasonable, the compensation was not determined by arm’s length negotiation.
Monitoring Compliance With Agreements By Affiliates
Our General Partner must monitor and enforce the compliance of its affiliate, Resource Real Estate Management, in the management of our Real Estate Investments under the real estate management agreement and its own compliance with our Partnership Agreement.
Our General Partner and its Affiliates Engage in Activities That May Compete With Our Activities
Our General Partner and its affiliates are not prohibited from investing in, acquiring, operating or selling real estate investments, including multifamily residential rental properties or interests in debt instruments secured, directly or indirectly, by such properties, either on their own behalf or on behalf of private or public partnerships or other entities that they, or others, including their affiliates, have formed or may form in the future. Our General Partner and its affiliates also may own, control and/or manage real estate investments, including properties or interests in debt instruments secured, directly or indirectly, by such Properties, in which we have no interest and in the same general areas where we acquire our real estate investments.
Accordingly, our real estate investments may compete for tenants with those owned by our General Partner or its affiliates, including their affiliated investment programs. Also, real estate investments owned or controlled by our General Partner or its affiliates, or which secure debt investments owned by our General Partner or its affiliates in which we have no interest, may be enhanced by our purchase of a real estate investment in the same general area. Our General Partner also may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to recommendations to our limited partners to sell a Real Estate Investment if it or its affiliates own other real estate investments in the same area or which secure debt investments owned by our General Partner or its affiliates that they also want to sell. In this regard, Resource Capital Corp., or RCC, is a publicly-traded real estate specialty finance company that qualifies as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. RCC is externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., an affiliate of our General Partner. Since RCC’s targeted investments include, but are not limited to, B notes and mezzanine debt, which may be secured, directly or indirectly, by multifamily residential rental properties, RCC may compete with us with respect to our Real Estate Investments.
Actions Taken by Our General Partner May Affect the Amount of Cash Available for Distribution to Our Limited Partners and the Compensation of Our General Partner
The amount of cash we have available for distribution to our limited partners is affected by our General Partner’s decisions regarding various matters, including:
|
●
|
whether our General Partner will, in its discretion, defer and accrue any portion or all of the real estate management fees payable by us to Resource Real Estate Management or its affiliates with respect to our Properties under the circumstances described above;
|
|
●
|
the amount and timing of our Real Estate Investment purchases and sales;
|
|
●
|
the amount and timing of our cash expenditures;
|
|
●
|
the amount and terms of financing we obtain with respect to our Properties; and
|
|
●
|
the creation, reduction or increase of our reserves, including possible reserves for future capital expenditures for capital improvements or replacements related to the Properties that will be included in the purchase price of the Properties and, thus, increase certain fees payable to our General Partner.
|
Under applicable state limited partnership laws, our General Partner will be liable for our obligations to the extent that they exceed our assets. As a result, our General Partner has the right to cause us to establish and maintain reserves (which are in addition to any capital reserves related to our Properties) in the amounts our General Partner believes are necessary to meet our obligations and contingent liabilities. Because our General Partner may be exposed to liability to our creditors if our reserves are insufficient to pay our obligations and contingent liabilities, our General Partner may have a conflict of interest in allocating our cash flow between distributions to our limited partners and establishing reserves. To the extent that our General Partner increases the amount of our cash reserves, the amount of cash available for distributions to our limited partners will be deferred and may decrease.
We May Engage in Transactions with Our General Partner and Its Affiliates
As described above, we enter into transactions with our General Partner and its affiliates. Also, our General Partner currently relies on contributions from its indirect parent company, Resource America, to meet its ongoing obligations. In addition, under the Partnership Agreement, when our General Partner or any affiliate provides us with goods or services that are not otherwise provided for in the Partnership Agreement, which is not anticipated by the General Partner, their fees must be competitive with the fees charged by unaffiliated third-parties in the same geographic area engaged in similar businesses.
Although no loans may be made by us to our General Partner or its affiliates, our General Partner and its affiliates may loan or advance funds to us, which is not anticipated by our General Partner, provided that the rate of interest and other amounts that would be charged to us (without reference to the loaning General Partner’s or affiliate’s financial abilities or guarantees) do not exceed those that would be charged by unrelated lending institutions on a comparable loan for the same purpose in the same geographic area and the other terms of the loan are no less favorable to us than those that could be obtained from those unrelated lending institutions.
We Have not Retained Separate Counsel or Other Professionals
The legal counsel that represents our General Partner also represents us. None of the agreements and arrangements between us and our General Partner and its affiliates were negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The attorneys, accountants and other experts who perform services for us also perform services for our General Partner, its affiliates and other partnerships or ventures that our General Partner or its affiliates may sponsor. However, should a dispute arise between us and our General Partner, we will retain separate legal counsel to represent us in the matter. Also, if counsel advises our General Partner that counsel reasonably believes its representation of us will be adversely affected by its responsibilities to our General Partner, then our General Partner will cause our investors to retain separate counsel.
We Do Not Have Any Employees and Will Rely on the Employees of Our General Partner and its Affiliates
We do not have any officers or employees and will rely solely on officers and employees of our General Partner and its affiliates to manage our business. Our General Partner and its affiliates also will conduct business activities of their own in which we will have no economic interest.
Employees of our General Partner and its affiliates who provide services to us are not required to work full-time on our affairs. These employees will devote significant time to the affairs of our General Partner and its affiliates and will be compensated by our General Partner and its affiliates for the services rendered to them. Therefore, there may be significant conflicts between us and our General Partner and its affiliates regarding the availability of those employees to manage us and our Real Estate Investments.
Our General Partner Invested in Us as a Limited Partner
Our General Partner has purchased units as a limited partner in an amount equal to 5% of our gross offering proceeds at the close of our offering. That percentage interest has since increased as a result of redemption by limited partners. One officer of the General Partner also purchased 967 units. The subscription price of the General Partner and its officer for their units was reduced by 10%. Even though they paid a reduced price for their units, they will generally share in our income, losses and cash distributions on the same basis as the other limited partners, and they will generally have the same voting rights. This will dilute the voting rights of our limited partners. However, units owned by our General Partner and its officer will be excluded from any vote on removing our General Partner as our general partner. Also, their rate of return on their investment in us will be greater than the rate of return received by our limited partners because of the discounted subscription price our General Partner and its officer paid.
Conflicts Regarding Redemption of Units
Limited partners may present their units to us for redemption at any time. This creates the following conflicts of interest between us and our limited partners:
|
●
|
We have no obligation to redeem the units at any time, and we may decline to redeem the units for any reason. For example, if our General Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and foreseeable operating expenses, we may decline the redemption request. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our General Partner’s sole discretion. In addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year, subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits interests.
|
|
●
|
We will also determine the redemption price based on provisions set forth in the Partnership Agreement. To the extent the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General Partner.
|
If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the same terms as we would have redeemed the units.
Because we are not listed on any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, we have elected to use the NASDAQ National Stock Market’s definition of “independent director” in evaluating whether any of our General Partner’s directors are independent. Under this definition, the board of directors of our General Partner has determined that our General Partner does not have any independent directors, nor are we required to have any.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
|
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by our independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP for the period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 for professional services rendered was $193,000 and $128,000, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. We did not incur any audit related fees from Grant Thornton LLP during 2010 and 2009.
Tax Fees. We did not incur any fees for tax services from Grant Thornton LLP during 2010 and 2009.
All Other Fees. We did not incur any other fees from Grant Thornton LLP during 2010 and 2009.
Procedures for Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor. As a limited partnership, we do not have an audit committee. Our General Partner’s Board of Directors, acting as a committee of the whole, reviews and approves in advance any audit and any permissible non-audit engagement or relationship between us and our independent auditors.
