PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

General

Resource Real Estate Investors 7, L.P., is a Delaware limited partnership which was formed on March 28, 2008 and commenced operations on June 16, 2008. We own in fee, operate and invest in multifamily residential rental properties, which we refer to as the Properties, located in Georgia, Maine, South Carolina and Texas. Historically, we also invested in interests in real estate mortgages and other debt instruments that are secured, directly or indirectly, by a multifamily residential rental property or an interest in an entity that directly owns such a property, or Real Estate Debt Investment. We currently do not own any interests in Real Estate Debt Investments.

Our general partner, Resource Capital Partners, Inc., or the General Partner, is in the business of sponsoring and managing real estate investment limited partnerships and tenant in common programs, or TICs. Our General Partner operates and manages our Real Estate Investments on our behalf, and is responsible for evaluating, managing, refinancing, and selling our Real Estate Investments on our behalf. Our General Partner is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc., or Resource America, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, financial fund and commercial finance management sectors.

Our goals are to generate regular cash distributions from our operations, gains from the potential appreciation in the value of our Properties, and cash for our partners’ distributions from the sale or refinancing of the Properties.

We will terminate on March 28, 2016, unless we are sooner dissolved or terminated. Our General Partner from time to time, in its discretion, may extend the term for up to an aggregate of two years. Our General Partner has complete and exclusive discretion in the management of our business.

Our Management

As we do not have any officers, directors or employees, we rely solely on the officers and employees of our General Partner and its affiliates for the management of our Real Estate Investments. Our General Partner and its affiliates, Resource Real Estate Management, LLC and Resource Real Estate, Inc., also conduct business activities of their own in which we have no economic interest. Employees of our General Partner and its affiliates who provide us with services are not required to work full-time on our affairs. These employees devote significant time to the affairs of our General Partner and its affiliates and are compensated by our General Partner and its affiliates for the services rendered to them. There may be significant conflicts between us and our General Partner and its affiliates regarding the availability of those employees to manage us and our Real Estate Investments.

Real Estate Manager

Resource Real Estate Management, LLC, or Resource Real Estate Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of our General Partner, manages or supervises the management of our Real Estate Investments under a real estate management agreement with us or our subsidiary holding legal title to a particular Real Estate Investment. Resource Real Estate Management is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed in 2005 for the purpose of managing the real estate investments of our General Partner and its affiliates either for their own account or for other real estate programs. In October of 2007, Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., d/b/a Resource Residential, a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, was formed to manage residential real estate investments for Resource Real Estate Management. For a discussion of the management fees payable under these arrangements, see Item 13.

Resource Real Estate, Inc., or Resource Real Estate, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, is the parent company of our General Partner and an affiliate of Resource Real Estate Management.

Distribution Allocations

Distributable cash, which includes both distributable cash from operations as well as from capital transactions, will be distributed as described below.

Distributable cash from operations will be distributed in the following order of priority:

●

first, 100% to the limited partners until they have each received distributions from us, including distributions of distributable cash from capital transactions, equal to their respective preferred return of 8.25% if they subscribed for their units on or before December 31, 2007 or 8% if they subscribed for their units after December 31, 2007, which we refer to as their Preferred Return; and

●

thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.

Distributable cash from capital transactions, which includes cash received from the sale or refinancing of a Property, or the sale or repayment in full of all outstanding principal and interest due and owing to us on a Real Estate Debt Investment, will be distributed in the following order of priority:

●

first, 100% to our limited partners until they have each received distributions from us, including distributions of distributable cash from operations, equal to their respective Preferred Return;

●

second, 100% to our limited partners until their respective adjusted capital contribution has been reduced to zero; and

●

thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.

An adjusted capital contribution is the amount originally paid for the limited partnership interest, less previous distributions of distributable cash from capital transactions.

Redemption of Units

We are permitted, in our General Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time, and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For example, if our General Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and foreseeable operating expenses, a unitholder’s request may be declined. In addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year, subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits interests. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our General Partner’s sole discretion. We will also determine the redemption price based on provisions set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement. To the extent the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General Partner. If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the same terms as we would have redeemed the units. As of the date of this report, 5,000 units have been redeemed.

Sale of Units

From June 16, 2008 through August 31, 2009, we privately sold our limited partnership interest units at $10.00 per unit to accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. We sold a total of 3,274,655 units, including 180,768 units to our General Partner, for total proceeds, before commissions, fees and expenses, of approximately $32.5 million. We refer to these sales as the Offering. Resource Securities, Inc. (formerly Chadwick Securities, Inc.), an affiliate of our General Partner, served as the dealer-manager in the Offering.

Available Information

We file annual, quarterly and current reports with the Sec. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on March 28, 2008 and commenced operations on June 16, 2008. Through wholly owned subsidiaries, we own in fee, operate and invest in multifamily residential rental properties located in Georgia, Maine, South Carolina and Texas which we refer to as our Properties. We also may invest in interests in real estate mortgages and other debt instruments that are secured, directly or indirectly, by a multifamily residential rental property or an interest in an entity that directly owns such a property. As of December 31, 2012, we did not own any Real Estate Debt Investments.

As of December 31, 2012, we own six multifamily residential rental Properties through our 100% owned subsidiaries, as follows:

Results of Operations

We generate our income from the net revenues we receive from our Properties. We also may, in the future, generate funds from the sale or refinancing of our Properties. Because we acquired our Properties in 2008 and 2012, we do not expect that we will sell or refinance our Properties during the next year. Should economic conditions in the areas in which our Properties are located deteriorate, we could experience lower occupancy, lower rental revenues and higher operating costs, all of which could harm our operations and financial condition, reduce the value of our Properties and limit our ability to make distributions to our limited partners.

Our operating results and cash flows from our Properties are affected by four principal factors:

●

occupancy and rental rates,

●

property operating expenses,

●

interest rates on the related financing, and

●

capital expenditures.

The amount of rental revenues from our Properties depends upon their occupancy rates and concessions granted. We seek to maximize our occupancy rates through aggressive property-level programs, including, in particular, our Lease Rent Optimizer, or LRO, program which includes rent concessions and a substantial capital improvements program. Under our LRO program, we seek to price our rents for apartment units on a daily basis, based upon inventory in the marketplace and competitors’ pricing. As a result of these programs, our Properties have reached a stable average occupancy rate, with fluctuations being consistent with the normal course of business, and we have, in some instances, been able to increase their rental rates.

We seek to control operating expenses through our General Partner’s automated purchase order system that compares actual to budgeted expenses and requires management approval of variances, and through the use of third-party service providers to seek best available pricing.

With the exception of one mortgage note, our existing financing is at fixed rates of interest and, accordingly, our interest cost has remained relatively stable during the period of our ownership of the Properties. Based upon current economic conditions and their effect on interest rates, and because our existing financing extends through periods ranging from 2015 to 2019, we expect that our financing costs will remain relatively stable during substantially all of the expected term of these notes. However, should interest rates change materially, the interest component of our variable rate financing, which is based upon the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 323 basis points, and is capped at 7%, could change.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per unit data):

Weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding		3,270			3,270

Net loss per weighted average limited partner unit	$	(0.68	)	$	(0.35	)

Revenues

We attribute the $2.6 million increase in revenues principally to $2.1 million in revenues from the Village property for the ten months of the year since we acquired it, as well as the increase in the average effective rent per square foot at the Properties and the stabilization of the average occupancy rates at the Properties. Occupancy rates have varied within our expected range. We were able to increase rents as a result of stable occupancy and strong market demand.

Expenses

We attribute the $3.2 million increase in expenses principally to:

●

a $1.6 million increase in operating expenses due primarily to $1.2 million of operating expenses incurred on the Village along with increases of $91,000 in insurance expense and $140,000 in real estate tax expense;

●

a $157,000 increase in management fees due primarily to the additional $102,000 of management fees for the Village along with an increase in rental income as a result of an increase in average effective rent per square foot at the Properties;

●

a $527,000 increase in general and administrative expenses due primarily to the purchase of the Village, including a $353,000 increase in transaction costs , $58,000 increase in professional fees and a $43,000 increase in costs on Woodland Village; and

●

a $952,000 increase in depreciation and amortization due to the impact of recent capital expenditures, including $558,000 related to amortization of identifiable intangible assets and additional depreciation at the Village.

Other expenses

We attribute the $484,000 increase in other expenses primarily to the $325,000 of additional interest expense related to the debt incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the Village. In addition, we incurred a $198,000 loss on of a parcel of land at Cape Cod taken by eminent domain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2012			2011
Provided by operating activities (1)	$	1,936		$	1,379
Used in investing activities		(4,165	)		(893	)
Used in financing activities		(2,301	)		(2,072	)
Net decrease in cash	$	(4,530	)	$	(1,586	)

(1)	Including changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Our liquidity needs consist principally of funds used to pay the Properties’ debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and monthly distributions to the limited partners. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations, to control property operating expenses and, with respect to capital expenditures, the use of cash reserves established when the Properties were purchased. The ability to generate cash from operations will depend on the occupancy rates, rates charged to tenants compared with competing Properties in the area and the ability of tenants to pay rent. Occupancy rates can fluctuate based on changes in local market conditions where the Properties are located such as: excessive building resulting in an oversupply of similar properties, deterioration of surrounding areas, a decrease in market rates or local economic conditions including unemployment rates. The rental rates charged to tenants compared to competing properties can be impacted by a lack of perceived safety, convenience and attractiveness of a property.

Under our capital improvements program, we expect to spend approximately $6.4 million in the next four years for property improvements intended to increase the Properties’ appeal to tenants. As we implement planned improvements to our Properties, we seek to maintain our occupancy rates and, potentially to, increase our rental rates and our cash flow from operating activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, our capital expenditures primarily included pool repairs and parking lot paving at a few of the Properties, clubhouse renovations at one property and foundation repairs at another property. The following table sets forth the capital expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2012 and estimated future capital expenditures, which are discretionary in nature (in thousands):

Subsidiary	Capital Expenditures		Future Discretionary Capital Expenditures
Tamarlane	$	114	$	636
Bent Oaks		71		953
Cape Cod		135		1,135
Woodhollow		152		923
Hills		392		1,233
Village		787		1,567
Total	$	1,651	$	6,447

Our capital expenditures were $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. We have planned a series of future major capital projects for our Properties, including further landscaping, parking lot paving, signage upgrades, upgrades to exterior structures, replacing the HVAC condensing units and replacing water heaters. We review future expenditures periodically and adjust them based on both operating results and local market conditions. If market conditions improve and there is an acceptable return on the additional expenditures, we will consider restoring a previously contemplated interior upgrade program. We cannot assure you that we will complete projects currently planned or that we will not change our plans in response to changes in market conditions.

In connection with the acquisitions of our Properties, we incurred $50.8 million of total mortgage financing. For information regarding mortgage financing with respect to each Property, see Note 5 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired the Village for $11.5 million. In connection with this purchase, we obtained a $9.6 million first mortgage. Although the acquisition has reduced our liquidity by approximately $3.1 million and thereby reduced the amount available for our capital improvements program, we believe that we have retained sufficient liquidity to fund that program in the future and that the acquisition should increase our cash flow from operations going forward.

This purchase completes our asset acquisition plans. The remaining offering proceeds have been reserved for estimated future capital expenditures as noted above.

Our payables to related parties consist of investment management fees due to our General Partner, payable monthly, equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds, net of any limited partnership interest owned by the General Partner. The General Partner must subordinate up to 100% of its annual investment management fee to the receipt by the limited partners of their Preferred Return.

Redemption of Units

We are permitted, in our General Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time, and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For a discussion of redemptions, see Item 1 “Business – Redemptions of Units.” Through December 31, 2012, a total of 5,000 units have been redeemed at an average redemption price of $9.34 for an aggregate redemption cost of $46,710. No units were redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Legal Proceedings

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and cost and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to certain accrued liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Property Acquisitions. We allocated the purchase price of acquired properties to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the average remaining term of the respective lease on a straight line basis.

Impairment. We review the carrying value of each Property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If we determine that an asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, we will record an impairment charge to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. We have not recognized any impairments of our Properties for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue Recognition. We derive our revenue primarily from rental of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of generally one year or less. We recognize rent as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Additionally, any incentives included in the lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.

Included within rental income are other income amounts such as utility reimbursements, late fees, parking fees, pet fees and lease application fees which are recognized when earned.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent obligations, other than guarantees by the General Partner of certain limited standard expectations to the non-recourse nature of the mortgage notes which are secured by the Properties.

Recent Accounting Standards

Newly-Adopted Accounting Principles

The adoption of the following standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, amended the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012.

Comprehensive Income (Loss). In June 2011, the FASB eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The accounting standard now requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income (loss) and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income (loss), the components of other comprehensive income (loss), and the total of comprehensive income (loss). This guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

Resource Real Estate Investors 7, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resource Real Estate Investors 7, L.P. (a Delaware partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Resource Real Estate Investors 7, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and comprehensive loss and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Resource Real Estate Investors 7, L.P. (“R-7” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership which owns and operates multifamily residential rental properties located in Georgia, Maine, Texas and South Carolina (referred to as the “Properties”). The Partnership also may invest in interests in real estate mortgages and other debt instruments that are secured, directly or indirectly, by multifamily residential rental properties although the Partnership had no such investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Partnership was formed on March 28, 2008 and commenced operations on June 16, 2008. The General Partner, Resource Capital Partners, Inc. (“RCP”, the “General Partner”, or “GP”), is in the business of sponsoring and managing real estate investment limited partnerships and tenant in common programs. RCP contributed $1,000 in cash as its minimum capital contribution to the Partnership. In addition, RCP holds a 5.5% limited partnership interest in the Partnership at both December 31, 2012 and 2011. RCP is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”), a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management sectors.

The Partnership will continue until March 28, 2016, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Agreement”). The GP has the right to extend the Partnership term for one or more periods to a maximum of two years in the aggregate following the initial termination date.

The Agreement provides that income is allocated as follows: first, to the Limited Partners (“LPs”) and the GP (collectively, the “Partners”) in proportion to and to the extent of the deficit balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts; second, to the Partners in proportion to the allocations of Distributable Cash (as defined in the Agreement); and third, 100% to the LPs. All losses are allocated as follows: first, 100% to the LPs until the LPs have been allocated losses equal to the excess, if any, of their aggregate capital account balances over the aggregate Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Agreement); second, to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of their respective remaining positive capital account balances, if any; and third, 100% to the LPs.

Distributable cash from operations, payable monthly, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs until the LP’s have received their Preferred Return (as defined in the Agreement); and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.

Distributable cash from capital transactions, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs until the LPs have received their Preferred Return; second, 100% to the LPs until their Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Agreement) have been reduced to zero; and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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. The Partnership estimates the allowance for uncollectible receivables and loan losses and adjusts the balance quarterly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising

The Partnership expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in rental operating expenses, totaled $122,000 and $119,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to obtain financing have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective yield method.

Income Taxes

Income taxes or credits resulting from earnings or losses are payable by or accrue to the benefit of the partners; accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in these consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in those states in which the Partnership has significant business operations. The Partnership is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities. The Partnership may be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state/local income tax examinations for years 2009 through 2012.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is primarily derived from the rental of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of generally one year or less. The Partnership recognizes revenue in the period that rent is earned, which is on a monthly basis. The Partnership recognizes rent as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Additionally, any incentives included in the lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.

Included within rental income are other income amounts such as utility reimbursements, late fees, parking fees, pet fees and lease application fees which are recognized when earned.

The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases is approximately $5.0 million and $6,000 for the years ending 2013 and 2014, respectively, and none thereafter.

Long-Lived Assets

The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. The Partnership impaired assets due to a wind storm in 2011. Insurance proceeds covered the majority of the impairments. As a result, there was no impairment loss recorded for either of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

RESOURCE REAL ESTATE INVESTORS 7, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2012

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)

Rental Properties

Rental properties are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Buildings and improvements and personal property are depreciated for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the average remaining term of the respective leases on a straight-line basis. For income tax reporting purposes, the Partnership uses the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Useful lives used for calculating depreciation for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

	Buildings and improvements	5 - 27.5 years
	Personal property	3 - 15 years

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Partnership to concentration of credit risk, consist of periodic temporary deposits of cash. At December 31, 2012, the Partnership had $4.8 million of deposits at various banks of which $3.5 million was over the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. No losses have been experienced on such deposits.

Tenant Receivables

Tenant receivables are stated at 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 Partnership determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Partnership’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Partnership, the condition of the general economy and the industry as whole. The Partnership writes off receivables when they become uncollectible. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there was $995 and $7, respectively, in allowances for uncollectible receivables.

Redemptions

The LPs may request redemption of their units at any time. The Partnership has no obligation to redeem any units and will do so only at the GP’s discretion. If the Partnership redeems units, the redemption price is generally the amount of the initial investment less all distributions from the Partnership to the LP, and less all organization and offering expenses charged to the LP.

Recent Issued Financial Accounting Standards

Newly-Adopted Accounting Principles

The adoption of the following standards did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance became effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2012.

Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of each property and other market data, as well as information obtained about each property as a result of due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership acquired the Village, a multifamily residential apartment complex in Columbia, South Carolina, which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

NOTE 6 – MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE – (Continued)

The mortgage notes payable are with recourse only to the Properties securing them subject to certain limited standard exceptions, as defined in the mortgage notes, which the GP has guaranteed by executing a guarantee with respect to each property. These exceptions are referred to as “carveouts”. In general, carveouts relate to damages suffered by the lender for a subsidiary’s failure to pay rents, insurance or condemnation proceeds to the lender, to pay water, sewer and other public assessments or charges, 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 GP to guarantee payment of audit costs, lender’s enforcement of its rights under the loan documents and payment of the loan if the subsidiary voluntarily files for bankruptcy or seeks reorganization, or if a related party of the subsidiary does so with respect to the subsidiary.

NOTE 7 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Partnership has ongoing relationships with several related entities.

RCP is entitled to receive an annual investment management fee, payable monthly, equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds, net of any LP interest owned by RCP. During the term of the Partnership, RCP must subordinate up to 100% of its annual investment management fee to the receipt by the LPs of their Preferred Return. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, investment management fees due to RCP totaled $1.2 million and $894,000 respectively.

A wholly owned subsidiary of RCP, Resource Real Estate Management, LLC (“RREML”) is entitled to receive property and debt management fees. RREML engaged Resource Real Estate Management, Inc (“RREMI”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RAI, to manage the Partnership’s Properties. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, property management fees due totaled $81,000 and $78,000 respectively.

RCP and RREMI advance funds for ordinary operating expenses on behalf of the Properties, which are repaid within a few days. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, advances due totaled $38,000 and $15,000, respectively.

The Partnership is obligated to pay fees and reimbursements of expenses to related parties. These activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	For the Years Ended
	December 31,
	2012		2011
RCP:
Investment management fees	$	321	$	287

RREML:
Property management fees	$	518	$	395

NOTE 8–FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In analyzing the fair value of its financial instruments disclosed or accounted for on a fair value basis, the Partnership 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 Partnership 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 financial instruments. The fair value of cash, tenant receivables, accounts payables approximate their carrying values due to their short term 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 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 or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset.

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 and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

NOTE 8–FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Partnership’s financial instruments:

●

Mortgage notes payable. Rates currently available to the Partnership for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

The estimated fair value measurements of the mortgage notes payable are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying and fair values of the Partnership’s financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 9 - INSURANCE CLAIM

On April 4, 2011, a wind storm damaged one unit at Hills which was covered by insurance. The Partnership reduced the net carrying value of buildings and improvements for Hills by $54,000, and established a receivable for the expected net insurance proceeds of $12,000 (of which $9,000 was received in 2011 and $3,000 is uncollectible). Accordingly, approximately $45,000 was recorded during 2011 as a casualty loss.

NOTE 10 – IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Identifiable intangible assets consisted of acquired in-place leases totaling $2.4 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $2.4 million and $1.8 million.

NOTE 11 – SALE OF LAND

On May 1, 2012, the Partnership sold 1.4 acres of land to the City of San Antonio, Texas generating a loss of $198,000.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events and determined that no events have occurred which would require an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner, including its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our General Partner, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our General Partner assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, the General Partner used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our General Partner concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act, which exempted smaller reporting companies from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We do not have any officers, directors or employees. Rather, our General Partner manages our activities and supervises our Real Estate Investments using its affiliates under the provisions of our Limited Partnership Agreement which governs its conduct. Officers of our General Partner and its affiliates may spend a substantial amount of time managing its business and affairs and may face a conflict regarding the allocation of their time between our business and affairs and their other business interests.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Because we do not directly employ any persons, we rely on a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by Resource America that applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer of our General Partner, as well as to persons performing services for us generally. You may obtain a copy of this code of ethics by a request to our General Partner, Resource Capital Partners, at One Crescent Drive, Suite 203, Navy Yard Corporate Center, Philadelphia, PA 19112.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Neither we nor our General Partner’s Board of Directors has a standing audit committee; our General Partner’s entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. Our General Partner’s Board of Directors does not currently have any member who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost related to retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive for a small entity such as ours, and that it would reduce amounts otherwise distributable to our LPs.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, requires the directors and executive officers of our General Partner, our General Partner, and holders greater than 10% of our limited partnership interests to file reports with the SEC. SEC regulations require us to identify anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent fiscal year. Based on our review of these reports, we believe that the filing requirements for all of these reporting persons were complied with during 2012.

ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We have no directors or officers and we do not directly employ any persons to manage or operate our business. Our affairs are managed by our General Partner and its affiliates. As compensation for its services, we pay our General Partner various fees as set forth in Item 13.

The following table sets forth the number and percentage of our limited partnership interests owned by beneficial owners of 5% or more of our limited partnership interests as well as the beneficial ownership of our General Partner, and its officer and directors, as of April 1, 2013.

ITEM 13.	CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
	AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

We pay our General Partner and its affiliates the following fees for their services.

Property Management Fees

We pay Resource Real Estate Management, an affiliate of our General Partner, a monthly property management fee in an amount equal to 5% of our gross cash receipts from the operation of our Properties. This fee is for Resource Real Estate Management’s services in managing the Properties or obtaining and supervising subcontractor Property managers, which may be affiliates of Resource Real Estate Management or independent third-parties. Resource Real Estate Management is permitted to manage the Properties through a property management affiliate or subcontract the management of the Properties out to unaffiliated third-party subcontractors. If Resource Real Estate Management subcontracts the management of the Properties, then it will pay all management fees payable to the subcontractor managers of our Properties. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Resource Real Estate Management earned $518,000 in real estate property management fees.

Deferral of Real Estate Management Fees

We pay Resource Real Estate Management or its affiliates the real estate management fees for our Real Estate Investments from our operating revenues and our General Partner may, in its discretion, from time to time defer payment of all or any portion of such fees related to our Real Estate Investments, and accrue the same, if it deems our operating revenues are insufficient to pay such fees and still satisfy our investment objectives. We will pay any deferred fees to Resource Real Estate Management when our General Partner deems our operating revenues are sufficient to make such payment. As of December 31, 2012, no fees had been deferred.

Investment Management Fees

We pay our General Partner or its affiliates an annual investment management fee payable from our revenues in an amount equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds from the offering that have been, and continue to be, deployed in Real Estate Investments. The investment management fee is for our General Partner’s professional services rendered in our administration, including, but not limited to, the preparation and distribution of our required quarterly and annual reports to our limited partners. Since the annual investment management fee is for our General Partner’s professional services, it is in addition to the reimbursements we pay our General Partner for certain administrative expenses that it and its affiliates incur on our behalf as described below in “– Reimbursement of Administrative Expenses and Direct Costs.” Up to 100% of our General Partner’s annual investment management fee is subordinated to our limited partners’ receipt of their Preferred Return. Our General Partner is entitled at any time to an additional share of our cash distributions to recoup any investment management fees or distributions that were previously subordinated to the extent that our cash distributions to our limited partners exceeded their Preferred Return. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our General Partner earned $321,000 in investment management fees, the payment of which was deferred under the subordination clause of the Partnership Agreement. The payment of the fees earned in the prior years have been deferred as well.

Property Financing Fee for Refinancing a Property

We pay our General Partner or its affiliates a property financing fee equal to 0.5% of the face amount of any refinancing we obtain for our interest in the Properties. This fee is for our General Partner’s or its affiliates’ services in obtaining the financing and negotiating its terms. The property financing fee for refinancing will not be paid for Real Estate Debt Investments. There were no refinancings of the Properties during the year ended December 31, 2012, accordingly, no fees were paid.

Cash Distributions to Our General Partner

Our General Partner will receive distributions from us from the following sources:

●

distributable cash from operations;

●

distributable cash from capital transactions; and

●

cash distributions to the partners upon our liquidation.

Cash distributions from our operations will be first paid to our limited partners until they have received distributions totaling their Preferred Return and thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.

Cash distributions from capital transactions, which include cash we receive from the sale or refinancing of a Property or the sale or repayment in full of all outstanding principal and interest due and owing to us on a Real Estate Debt Investment, are distributed in the following order:

●

first, 100% to our limited partners until they receive distributions, including distributions of distributable cash from operations, totaling their Preferred Return;

●

second, 100% to our limited partners until their respective adjusted capital contributions (amount originally paid for a limited partnership interest less previous distributions of distributable cash from capital transactions) have been reduced to zero; and

●

thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.

When we dissolve and liquidate, we will distribute the liquidation proceeds in the following order of priority:

●

first, to the payment of our creditors in the order of priority provided by law, except obligations to partners or their affiliates;

●

next, to establish any reserve that our General Partner (or any other person effecting the winding up) determines is reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liability or obligation;

●

next, to the payment of all unpaid fees (other than our General Partner’s right to reimbursement of any previous fees subordinated to distributions to our limited partners) and other obligations owed by us to our General Partner and its affiliates (other than expense reimbursements), such as loans to us, in proportion to, and to the extent of, the unpaid fees, advances and other obligations to our General Partner and its affiliates under the Partnership Agreement;

●

next, to the payment of all expense reimbursements (other than our General Partner’s right to reimbursement of any previous subordination distributions to our limited partners) to which our General Partner or its affiliates may be entitled under the Partnership Agreement;

●

next, to the partners in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive balances of their capital accounts;

●

next, 100% to our limited partners until they have received their respective Preferred Returns;

●

next, to our General Partner as reimbursement for any previous subordination distributions to our limited partners, if any; and

●

thereafter, 80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General Partner.

There were no distributions to the General Partner as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Director Independence

Because we are not listed on any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, we have elected to use the NASDAQ National Stock Market’s definition of “independent director” in evaluating whether any of our General Partner’s directors are independent. Under this definition, the board of directors of our General Partner has determined that our General Partner does not have any independent directors, nor are we required to have any.

Parent Entities

See Item 1, “Business – General”
