Other Events.

On or about October 15, 2013, subsidiaries of our joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with White Oak Houston, LP., purchased three multi-family properties located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area with an aggregate of 564 units. The Joint Venture paid approximately $25.3 million for these properties (including the $22.6 million purchase price, approximately $1.2 million reserve for renovations and $1.5 million for, among other things, third party acquisition costs, insurance and real estate tax escrows), of which approximately $17.0 million was financed. We own 80% of the Joint Venture and contributed approximately $6.7 million of equity to the Joint Venture in connection with these purchases.
Three loans in aggregate principal amount of $17.0 million were used to finance these purchases-each loan has an interest rate of 4.9% per annum, is interest only until June 2015, amortizes on a 30 year amortization schedule thereafter, matures in November 2018, is secured by the acquired property, provides for customary events of default and is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary which owns our interest in the Joint Venture.
