On October 25, 2012, Reven Housing REIT, Inc.

The Agreement was assigned to the Company from Reven Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with the Company, on October 25, 2012, for $20,000, which is the amount of the deposit made by the assignor under the Agreement. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the seller, and the Company would be obligated to purchase the properties only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions.

The total contract purchase price for the nine properties is $629,736.39, excluding closing costs. The properties collectively encompass an aggregate of 12,989 rental square feet, with five properties each subject to a one-year lease with a tenant and the remaining four properties vacant as of the date of this report. Under the Agreement, the parties agreed that closing will occur in stages, with the five leased properties to occur in a first closing for $335,096 of the contract purchase price and the other four properties to remain subject to the terms of the Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisitions.

The Agreement and the amendments thereto are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
