Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 14, 2013, Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the authorization by our board of directors of a cash distribution in the amount of $0.025 per share of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 29, 2013. We are filing this amended Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the approval by our board of directors, on March 8, 2013, of a change to the record date of such distribution. As March 29, 2013 is a bank holiday, our board of directors has authorized such distribution to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2013. We expect to pay this distribution on April 15, 2013. This distribution will be paid in cash or, for investors enrolled in our distribution reinvestment plan, reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock.
