Item 2.01.  Completion of Asset Acquisition.

On October 31, 2011 Hartman Richardson Heights Properties LLC (the “Joint Venture”), a Texas limited liability company owned by Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. (the “Company”) and Hartman Short Term Income Properties XIX, Inc. (“Hartman XIX”), distributed a note receivable by the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX to Hartman XIX.  The outstanding amount of the note receivable was $9,750,000.  The source of the proceeds loaned by the Joint Venture to Hartman XIX was loan proceeds to the Joint Venture from a bank secured by a mortgage on the Richardson Heights property.  The note receivable distributed by the Joint Venture has been recorded as a capital distribution.  Following the distribution of the note receivable from Hartman XIX, the capital account of Hartman XIX, exclusive of any allocations of partnership loss, was $16,500.  On October 31, 2011 the Company paid Hartman XIX $16,500 to complete its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interest in the Joint Venture.

Hartman XIX is a REIT that is managed by affiliates of the Company’s advisor and real property manager.

On December 28, 2010 the Joint Venture acquired the Richardson Heights property for $19,150,000.  The Company initially acquired a 10% interest in the Joint Venture for $1,915,000 cash.  On April 19, 2011 the Board of Directors of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the Company’s officers to consider a series of related transactions to acquire up to all of the limited liability company interest of Hartman XIX in the Joint Venture.

On April 20, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 15% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $2,872,500 cash. On May 27, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 4% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $766,000 cash.  On June 30, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 2% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $383,000 cash.  On July 20, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 4% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $766,000 cash.  On August 12, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 7% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $1,340,500 cash.  On September 13, 2011 the Company acquired an additional 7% limited liability company interest in the Joint Venture from Hartman XIX for $1,340,500 cash.  The source of the cash used to acquire the additional interest in the Joint Venture was proceeds from the current public offering of the Company’s common shares.

For purposes of determining the value of the transaction between the parties, the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Hartman XIX determined that the acquisition price for the property is the fair value of the property and the total value of the limited liability company.
