NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS	NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
	Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on June 3, 2009 to purchase a diversified portfolio of discounted U.S. commercial real estate and real estate-related assets in order to generate gains to stockholders from the potential appreciation in the value of the assets and to generate current income for stockholders by distributing cash flow from the Company’s investments. Resource Real Estate Opportunity Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”), a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, financial fund management and commercial finance sectors, manages the day-to-day operations of the Company.
	Through its private and public offerings, which concluded on December 13, 2013, the Company raised aggregate gross offering proceeds of $645.8 million from the issuance of 64,926,311 shares of common stock, including 276,056 shares purchased by the Advisor and 1,161,623 shares sold in the distribution reinvestment plan. During 2014, the Company sold 2,410,424 shares for $22.9 million pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company additionally sold 756,095 shares for $7.2 million pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. The Company's distribution reinvestment plan offering is ongoing.
	The Company has acquired, and intends to continue to acquire, real estate-related debt and equity that has been discounted due to the effects of economic events and high levels of leverage, as well as stabilized properties that may benefit from extensive renovations that may increase their long-term values.  The Company has a particular focus on acquiring and operating multifamily assets, and it has targeted, and intends to continue to target, this asset class while also acquiring interests in other types of commercial property assets consistent with its investment objectives.  The Company’s targeted portfolio consists of commercial real estate assets, principally (i) multifamily rental properties purchased as non-performing or distressed loans or as real estate that was foreclosed upon and sold by financial institutions and (ii) multifamily rental properties to which the Company can add value with a capital infusion (referred to as “value add properties”).  However, the Company is not limited in the types of real estate assets in which it may invest and, accordingly, it may invest in other real estate-related assets either directly or together with a co-investor or joint venture partner.
	The Company is organized and conducts its operations in a manner intended to allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company also operates its business in a manner intended to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
	The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's accounts and the accounts of the Company's majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” and accordingly consolidates entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Once it has been determined that the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, management performs a qualitative analysis to determine (i) if the Company has the power to direct the matters that most significantly impact the VIE's financial performance; and (ii) if the Company has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company's interest possesses both of these characteristics, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and would be required to consolidate the VIE. The Company will continually assess its involvement with VIEs and re-evaluate the requirement to consolidate them. Noncontrolling interests are presented and disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity (not as a liability or other item outside of stockholders' equity). Consolidated net income (loss) includes the noncontrolling interests’ share of income (loss). All changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as stockholders' equity transactions if the Company retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. The portions of these entities that the Company does not own are presented as noncontrolling interests as of the dates and for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries as follows:
Subsidiary		Ownership %	Apartment Complex	Number	Property Location
				of Units
Springhurst Housing Partners, LLC		70.00%	Champion Farms	264	Louisville, KY
Glenwood Housing Partners I, LLC		83.00%	Fieldstone	266	Woodlawn, OH
FPA/PRIP Conifer, LLC		42.50%	Conifer Place	420	Norcross, GA
DT Stone Ridge, LLC		77.70%	Stone Ridge	188	Columbia, SC
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company presents the assets and liabilities of any rental properties which have been sold, or otherwise qualify as
held for sale, separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Real estate assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Both the real estate and the corresponding liabilities are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent to classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded. At December 31, 2014, the Company had three rental properties included in assets held for sale. At March 31, 2015, there were no rental properties included in assets held for sale.
Rental Properties
The Company records acquired rental properties at fair value. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and depreciates using the straight line method.  The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class as follows:
Buildings	27.5 years
Building improvements	3.0 to 27.5 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of lease term or expected useful life
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for permanent impairment.  This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition.  The review also considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.
An impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of a property to be held and used.  For properties held for sale, the impairment loss would be the adjustment to fair value less the estimated cost to dispose of the asset.  There were no impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Loans Held for Investment, Net
The Company records acquired performing loans held for investment at cost and reviews them for potential impairment at each balance sheet date.  The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists.  The first condition is, if based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled-debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to a borrower in financial difficulty.  A TDR may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and/or guarantees made by the borrowers.
The amount of impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan to the present value of the expected cash flows or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral.  If a loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company records a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall.
Interest income from performing loans held for investment is recognized based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Fees related to any buy down of the interest rate are deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.  The initial investment made in a purchased performing loan includes the amount paid to the seller plus fees.  The initial investment frequently differs from the related loan’s principal amount at the date of the purchase.  The difference is recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the loan.  Closing costs related to the purchase of a performing loan held for investment are amortized over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment to interest income.
The Company may acquire real estate loans at a discount due to the credit quality of such loans and the respective borrowers under such loans.  Revenues from these loans are recorded under the effective interest method.  Under this method, an effective interest rate (“EIR”) is applied to the cost basis of the real estate loan held for investment.  The EIR that is calculated when the loan held for investment is acquired remains constant and is the basis for subsequent impairment testing and income recognition.  However, if the amount and timing of future cash collections are not reasonably estimable, the Company accounts for the real estate receivable on the cost recovery method.  Under the cost recovery method of accounting, no income is recognized until the basis of the loan held for investment has been fully recovered.
Preferred Equity Investment
The Company records preferred equity investments at cost and evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal at each balance sheet date. A preferred equity investment is considered impaired, when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to existing contractual terms. When an investment is impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value. Fees paid, net of expenses, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to interest and dividend income earned over the term of the agreement.
Dividend income is recognized based on the contractual terms of the preferred equity agreement.
Allocation of the Purchase Price of Acquired and Foreclosed Assets
The cost of rental properties acquired directly as fee interests and through foreclosing on a loan are allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their relative fair values.  The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and to identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including information obtained about each property as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  In addition, the Company may obtain independent appraisal reports. The information in the appraisal reports along with the aforementioned information available to the Company's management is used in allocating the purchase price. The independent appraisers have no involvement in management's allocation decisions other than providing market information.
In allocating the purchase price, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period.  Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses, to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease.  The Company amortizes any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
The Company measures the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if it were vacant.  Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis).  Factors to be considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant.  Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing relationships with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the average remaining term of the respective leases.  The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles associated with that tenant would be charged to expense in that period.
The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables.  The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net income.  Initial purchase price allocations are subject to change until all information is finalized, which is generally within one year of the acquisition date.
Goodwill
The Company records the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and includes amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents.  The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases are $46.9 million and $354,000 for the 12 month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and none thereafter. The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases for commercial rental properties and antenna rentals are $224,000, $185,000, $96,000, $4,000 and $0 for the 12 month periods ending March 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and thereafter, respectively.
Tenant Receivables
Tenant receivables are stated in the financial statements as 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 Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Company’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  The Company writes off receivables when they become uncollectible.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were allowances for uncollectible receivables of $31,785 and $57,300, respectively.
Income Taxes
To maintain its REIT qualification for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable net income (excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders as well as comply with other requirements, including certain asset, income and stock ownership tests.  As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which it fails its REIT qualification.  Accordingly, the Company’s failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distribution to its stockholders.
The dividends-paid deduction of a REIT for qualifying dividends to its stockholders is computed using the Company’s taxable income as opposed to net income reported on the financial statements.  Generally, taxable income differs from net income reported on the financial statements because the determination of taxable income is based on tax provisions and not financial accounting principles.
The Company may elect to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). In general, the Company’s TRSs may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.  A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no TRSs.
The Company evaluates the benefits from tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return. Only the largest amount of benefits from tax positions that will more likely than not be sustainable upon examination are recognized by the Company.  The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, nor interest and penalties, recorded in its consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate significant adjustments to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in other states in which the Company has significant business operations.  The Company is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted to common stock.  None of the 50,000 shares of convertible stock (discussed in Note 15) are included in the diluted earnings per share calculations, as the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issuable upon conversion of the convertible stock, if any, is indeterminable at March 31, 2015 and would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to the net loss for the period. For the purposes of calculating earnings per share, all common shares and per common share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of seven 1.5% stock distributions, two 0.75% stock distributions, one 0.585% stock distribution and two 0.5% stock distributions issued to stockholders. Common stock shares issued on the Consolidated Balance Sheets have also been adjusted retroactively for the effect of these 12 distributions.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior period financial statements are not material and did not affect net income (loss).
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)("ASU No. 2014-09"), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services.  ASU No. 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. FASB voted to propose a one year deferral to this guidance in April 2015. ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, including interim periods in 2017, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." Under the new guidance, an entity should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items" (“ASU No. 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-01 eliminate from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Although the amendment will eliminate the requirements for reporting entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. Upon adoption, the Company will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company entered into agreements to sell three rental properties, The Alcove, Cityside Crossing and The Redford, with a total net book value of $36.8 million. The Company confirmed the intent and ability to sell all three properties in their present condition and all three properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to December 31, 2014, at which time depreciation ceased. As such, the assets associated with these properties are separately classified and included as assets held for sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for discontinued operations, and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company completed the sales of The Alcove, Cityside Crossing and The Redford on January 26, 2015, February 27, 2015 and March 2, 2015, respectively (see Note 8).
	Loss on disposal of assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a $1.1 million and $1.6 million loss, respectively, on the disposal of assets due to the replacement of appliances at its rental properties in conjunction with unit upgrades.

	Preferred equity investment, net	3,467				3,462
		$	4,989			$	4,985
	Loans held for investment:
	On March 15, 2011, the Company purchased, at a discount, two non-performing promissory notes (the "Oberlin Note” and the "Heatherwood Note”) and two performing promissory notes (the "Peterson Note” and the "Trail Ridge Note”), collectively referred to as the “Notes”, each of which was secured by a first priority mortgage on multifamily rental apartment communities. The contract purchase price for the Notes was a total of $3.1 million, excluding closing costs. Both the Oberlin and Peterson Notes were resolved in prior years.
	On August 18, 2011, the Company was the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of the property collateralizing the Heatherwood Note. Possession of the Heatherwood Apartments was obtained in February 2012 and the property was subsequently sold in April 2013. On April 18, 2013, in connection with the sale of the Heatherwood Apartments, the Company originated an $800,000 mortgage loan (the "Heatherwood Sale Note") to the purchaser of the Heatherwood Apartments on the same date.
	The face value of the performing notes, the Heatherwood Sale Note and the Trail Ridge Note, as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.9 million. The performing notes were purchased net of discounts and the unamortized accretable discounts totaled $254,000 and $261,000 and unamortized loan origination costs of $13,000 and $13,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	Preferred equity investment:
	On November 12, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RRE Spring Hill Holdings, LLC, made a $3.5 million preferred equity investment in Spring Hill Investors Limited Partner, LLC (the “Investment Vehicle”) and became the Preferred Member. An unaffiliated limited liability company owns the common equity and acts as the managing member of the Investment Vehicle. The Company is obligated to fund up to an additional $1.5 million in increments of $150,000 as long as no triggering event has occurred. Examples of triggering events include loan defaults, failure of the managing member to make payments to Preferred Member, and unauthorized managing member interest transfers.
	The Investment Vehicle is the sole member of Spring Hill Investors GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Spring Hill Investors, LP, the owner of a 606-unit multifamily residential apartment community commonly known as Spring Hill Apartments (“Spring Hill”) and located in Dallas, Texas. The Company’s preferred equity investment will be predominately utilized for capital improvements and deferred maintenance projects.
	The Company is to be paid a dividend equal to 12% of the total amount invested, 7% of which must be paid monthly and the remaining accrues and is to be paid when the property cash flow allows for the repayment. The mandatory redemption date for the investment is the earliest of (i) April 2017, (ii) any earlier date that the mortgage loan secured by Spring Hill Apartments becomes due and payable as a result of the acceleration of the loan maturity date by the lender, or (iii) the date on which a defeasance is effected pursuant to the loan documents.
	The preferred equity balance is presented net of nonrefundable origination fees and net of origination expenses, of $33,000, which are being amortized over the term of the investment as an adjustment to interest and dividend income.

MEASUREMENT PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS	NOTE 7 - MEASUREMENT PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
	The Company obtains third party appraisals for all of its acquisitions. If the appraisals are not finalized in the period in which the property or interest was acquired, a measurement period adjustment is recorded. For the The Estates at Johns Creek (formerly known as Addison Place) acquisition, which was completed in the three months ended March 31, 2014, the measurement period adjustment was finalized during the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the Paladin acquisition, which was completed in the three months ended March 31, 2014, the measurement period adjustments were finalized during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

	The mortgage notes payable are recourse only with respect to the properties that secure the notes, subject to certain limited standard exceptions, as defined in each mortgage note. The Company has guaranteed the mortgage notes by executing a guarantee with respect to the properties.  These exceptions are referred to as “carveouts.”  In general, carveouts relate to damages suffered by the lender for a borrower’s failure to pay rents, insurance or condemnation proceeds to lender, failure to pay water, sewer and other public assessments or charges, failure to pay environmental compliance costs or to deliver books and records, in each case as required in the loan documents.  The exceptions also require the Company to guarantee payment of audit costs, lender’s enforcement of its rights under the loan documents and payment of the loan if the borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy or seeks reorganization, or if a related party of the borrower does so with respect to the subsidiary. The Company has also guaranteed the completion and payment of costs of completion of no less than $7.0 million of renovations to The Estates at Johns Creek by July 1, 2018.
	For the Fieldstone mortgage, beginning with the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2014, the property must maintain a certain level of debt service coverage. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants for the Fieldstone mortgage at March 31, 2015.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	NOTE 14 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company has ongoing relationships with several related parties.
	Relationship with RAI
	Substantially all of the receivables from related parties represents escrow funds held by RAI for self insurance. The Company's properties participate in insurance pools with other properties directly and indirectly managed by RAI for both property insurance and general liability. RAI holds the escrow funds related to the insurance pool on its books. The insurance pool covers losses up to $2.5 million for property losses and up to the first $25,000 per incident for general liability losses. Catastrophic insurance would cover property losses in excess of the insurance pool up to $85.0 million. Therefore, unforeseen or catastrophic losses in excess of the Company's insured limits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and operating results.
	Relationship with the Advisor
	In September 2009, the Company entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which the Advisor provides the Company with investment management, administrative and related services.  The Advisory Agreement was amended in January 2010 and further amended in January 2011 and March 2015.  The Advisory Agreement has a one-year term and renews for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon the approval of the conflicts committee of the Company's board of directors.  The Company renewed the Advisory Agreement for another year on September 15, 2014. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor receives fees and is reimbursed for its expenses as set forth below:
	Acquisition fees. The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee of 2.0% of the cost of investments acquired on behalf of the Company, plus any capital expenditure reserves allocated, or the amount funded by the Company to acquire loans, including acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments.
	Asset management fees. The Company pays the Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the higher of the cost or the independently appraised value of each asset, without deduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves.  The asset management fee is based only on the portion of the costs or value attributable to the Company’s investment in an asset if the Company does not own all or a majority of an asset and does not manage or control the asset.
	Disposition fees. The Advisor earns a disposition fee in connection with the sale of a property equal to the lesser of one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, or if none is paid, 2.75% of the contract sales price.
	Debt financing fees. The Advisor earns a debt financing fee equal to 0.5% of the amount available under any debt financing obtained for which it provided substantial services.
	Expense reimbursements. The Company also pays directly or reimburses the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates on behalf of the Company or in connection with the services provided to the Company in relation to its public offering, including its ongoing distribution reinvestment plan offering.  This includes all organization and offering costs of up to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds.
	Reimbursements also include expenses the Advisor incurs in connection with providing services to the Company, including the Company’s allocable share of costs for Advisor personnel and overhead, out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties or other real estate related debt investments, whether or not the Company ultimately acquires the investment.  However, the Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition or disposition fees.
	Relationship with Resource Real Estate Opportunity Manager
	Resource Real Estate Opportunity Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, manages the Company's real estate properties and real estate-related debt investments and coordinates the leasing of, and manages construction activities related to, some of the Company’s real estate properties pursuant to the terms of the management agreement with the Manager.
	Property management fees. The Manager earns 4.5% of the gross receipts from our properties, provided that for properties that are less than 75% occupied, the manager receives a minimum fee for the first 12 months of ownership, for performing certain property management and leasing activities.
	Construction management fees. The Manager earns a construction management fee of 5.0% of actual aggregate costs to construct improvements, or to repair, rehab or reconstruct a property.
	Debt servicing fees. The Manager earns a debt servicing fee of 2.75% on payments received from loans held by the Company for investment.
	Expense reimbursement. During the ordinary course of business, the Manager or other affiliates of RAI may pay certain shared operating expenses on behalf of the Company.
	Relationship with Other Related Parties
	The Company has also made payment for legal services to the law firm of Ledgewood P.C. (“Ledgewood”).  Until 1996, the Chairman of RAI was of counsel to Ledgewood.  In connection with the termination of his affiliation with Ledgewood and its redemption of his interest, the Chairman continues to receive certain payments from Ledgewood.  Until March 2006, a current executive of RAI was the managing member of Ledgewood.  This executive remained of counsel to Ledgewood through June 2007, at which time he became an Executive Vice President of RAI.  In connection with his separation, this executive was entitled to receive payments from Ledgewood through 2013.
	The Company utilizes the services of a printing company, Graphic Images, LLC (“Graphic Images”), whose principal owner is the father of RAI’s Chief Financial Officer.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 50,000 shares of $0.01 par value convertible stock outstanding of which the Advisor and affiliated persons own 49,063 shares and outside investors own 937 shares.  The convertible stock will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the occurrence of (a) the Company having paid distributions to common stockholders that in the aggregate equal 100% of the price at which the Company originally sold the shares plus an amount sufficient to produce a 10% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on the shares at that price; or (b) if the Company lists its common stock on a national securities exchange and, on the 31st trading day after listing, the Company’s value based on the average trading price of its common stock since the listing, plus prior distributions, combine to meet the same 10% return threshold.

Each of these two events is a “Triggering Event.”  Upon a Triggering Event, the Company's convertible stock will, unless its advisory agreement has been terminated or not renewed on account of a material breach by its Advisor, generally be converted into a number of shares of common stock equal to 1/50,000 of the quotient of:

•

(A) the lesser of

•

(B) the value of the Company divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock, in each case, as of the date of the event triggering the conversion.

Redemption of Securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company redeemed 158,170 of its common shares. The Company will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the 12 month period immediately prior to the effective date of redemption. The Company's board of directors will determine at least quarterly whether it has sufficient excess cash to repurchase shares. Generally, the cash available for redemptions will be limited to proceeds from the Company's distribution reinvestment plan plus, if the Company has positive operating cash flow from the previous fiscal year, 1% of all operating cash flow from the previous year. All redemption requests tendered were honored during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may suspend, terminate or amend the Company's share redemption program without stockholder approval upon 30 days' notice if it determines that such suspension, termination or amendment is in the Company's best interest. The Company's board may also reduce the number of shares purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund the Company's share redemption program are needed for other purposes. These limitations apply to all redemptions, including redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death, qualifying disability or confinement to a long-term care facility.

Distributions

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company paid aggregate distributions of $10.4 million, including $3.2 million of distributions paid in cash and $7.2 million of distributions reinvested in shares of common stock through the Company's distribution reinvestment plan, as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASURES AND DISCLOSURES	NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE MEASURES AND DISCLOSURES
	In analyzing the fair value of its investments accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The fair value of cash, tenant receivables and accounts payable, approximate their carrying value due to their short nature.  The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
	The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.  The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.  However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
	Rental properties obtained through a foreclosed note are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  The fair value of rental properties is usually estimated based on information obtained from a number of sources, including information obtained about each property as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
	Derivatives (interest rate caps) which are reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach with models that use, as their primary inputs, readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit and volatility factors. (Level 2)
	The following table presents information about the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as follows (in thousands):

	The fair value of the loans held for investment and preferred equity investments, net, was estimated using rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. (Level 3)
	The fair value of the mortgage notes payable was estimated using rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. (Level 3)
	The fair values of the two credit facilities equal the carrying amounts because the interest rate of each of the credit facilities is variable. (Level 3)

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

NOTE 17 - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

As a condition to certain of the Company’s financing facilities, from time to time the Company may be required to enter into certain derivative transactions as may be required by the lender. These transactions would generally be in line with the Company’s own risk management objectives and also served to protect the lender.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company entered into a total of six interest rate caps that were designated as cash flow hedges during 2013, 2014 and 2015. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year end December 31, 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows, indexed to USD-LIBOR, associated with existing variable-rate loan agreements. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's accounts and the accounts of the Company's majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” and accordingly consolidates entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Once it has been determined that the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, management performs a qualitative analysis to determine (i) if the Company has the power to direct the matters that most significantly impact the VIE's financial performance; and (ii) if the Company has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company's interest possesses both of these characteristics, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and would be required to consolidate the VIE. The Company will continually assess its involvement with VIEs and re-evaluate the requirement to consolidate them. Noncontrolling interests are presented and disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity (not as a liability or other item outside of stockholders' equity). Consolidated net income (loss) includes the noncontrolling interests’ share of income (loss). All changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as stockholders' equity transactions if the Company retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. The portions of these entities that the Company does not own are presented as noncontrolling interests as of the dates and for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
	Principles of Consolidation
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Assets Held for Sale	Assets Held for Sale
	The Company presents the assets and liabilities of any rental properties which have been sold, or otherwise qualify as
	held for sale, separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Real estate assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Both the real estate and the corresponding liabilities are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent to classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded.
Rental Properties	Rental Properties
	The Company records acquired rental properties at fair value. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and depreciates using the straight line method.  The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class as follows:
	Buildings	27.5 years
	Building improvements	3.0 to 27.5 years
	Tenant improvements	Shorter of lease term or expected useful life
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long Lived Assets
	When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for permanent impairment.  This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition.  The review also considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.
	An impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of a property to be held and used.  For properties held for sale, the impairment loss would be the adjustment to fair value less the estimated cost to dispose of the asset.
Loans Held for Investment, Net	Loans Held for Investment, Net
	The Company records acquired performing loans held for investment at cost and reviews them for potential impairment at each balance sheet date.  The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists.  The first condition is, if based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled-debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to a borrower in financial difficulty.  A TDR may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and/or guarantees made by the borrowers.
	The amount of impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan to the present value of the expected cash flows or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral.  If a loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company records a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall.
	Interest income from performing loans held for investment is recognized based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Fees related to any buy down of the interest rate are deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.  The initial investment made in a purchased performing loan includes the amount paid to the seller plus fees.  The initial investment frequently differs from the related loan’s principal amount at the date of the purchase.  The difference is recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the loan.  Closing costs related to the purchase of a performing loan held for investment are amortized over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment to interest income.
	The Company may acquire real estate loans at a discount due to the credit quality of such loans and the respective borrowers under such loans.  Revenues from these loans are recorded under the effective interest method.  Under this method, an effective interest rate (“EIR”) is applied to the cost basis of the real estate loan held for investment.  The EIR that is calculated when the loan held for investment is acquired remains constant and is the basis for subsequent impairment testing and income recognition.  However, if the amount and timing of future cash collections are not reasonably estimable, the Company accounts for the real estate receivable on the cost recovery method.  Under the cost recovery method of accounting, no income is recognized until the basis of the loan held for investment has been fully recovered.
Preferred Equity Investment	Preferred Equity Investment
	The Company records preferred equity investments at cost and evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal at each balance sheet date. A preferred equity investment is considered impaired, when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to existing contractual terms. When an investment is impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value. Fees paid, net of expenses, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to interest and dividend income earned over the term of the agreement.
	Dividend income is recognized based on the contractual terms of the preferred equity agreement.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired and Foreclosed Assets	Allocation of the Purchase Price of Acquired and Foreclosed Assets
	The cost of rental properties acquired directly as fee interests and through foreclosing on a loan are allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their relative fair values.  The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and to identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including information obtained about each property as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  In addition, the Company may obtain independent appraisal reports. The information in the appraisal reports along with the aforementioned information available to the Company's management is used in allocating the purchase price. The independent appraisers have no involvement in management's allocation decisions other than providing market information.
	In allocating the purchase price, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period.  Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses, to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
	The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease.  The Company amortizes any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
	The Company measures the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if it were vacant.  Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis).  Factors to be considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
	The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant.  Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing relationships with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
	The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the average remaining term of the respective leases.  The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles associated with that tenant would be charged to expense in that period.
	The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables.  The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net income.  Initial purchase price allocations are subject to change until all information is finalized, which is generally within one year of the acquisition date.
Goodwill	Goodwill
	The Company records the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and includes amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents.  The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
Tenant Receivables	Tenant Receivables
	Tenant receivables are stated in the financial statements as 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 Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Company’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  The Company writes off receivables when they become uncollectible.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	To maintain its REIT qualification for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable net income (excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders as well as comply with other requirements, including certain asset, income and stock ownership tests.  As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which it fails its REIT qualification.  Accordingly, the Company’s failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distribution to its stockholders.
	The dividends-paid deduction of a REIT for qualifying dividends to its stockholders is computed using the Company’s taxable income as opposed to net income reported on the financial statements.  Generally, taxable income differs from net income reported on the financial statements because the determination of taxable income is based on tax provisions and not financial accounting principles.
	The Company may elect to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). In general, the Company’s TRSs may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.  A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no TRSs.
	The Company evaluates the benefits from tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return. Only the largest amount of benefits from tax positions that will more likely than not be sustainable upon examination are recognized by the Company.  The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, nor interest and penalties, recorded in its consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate significant adjustments to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
	The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in other states in which the Company has significant business operations.  The Company is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted to common stock.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications
	Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior period financial statements are not material and did not affect net income (loss).
Adoption of New Accounting Standard	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)("ASU No. 2014-09"), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services.  ASU No. 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. FASB voted to propose a one year deferral to this guidance in April 2015. ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, including interim periods in 2017, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
	In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." Under the new guidance, an entity should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the new requirements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items" (“ASU No. 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-01 eliminate from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Although the amendment will eliminate the requirements for reporting entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. Upon adoption, the Company will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
