Item 8.01   Other Events.
 
On or about April 2, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a joint venture with Somerset Village Sundance Crossings Investors LLC.  Contemporaneously therewith, the joint venture purchased the following multi-family properties:

 
·
Crossings of Bellevue – a 300 unit property located in Nashville, TN,

 
·
Village Green – a 172 unit property located in Little Rock, AR, and

 
·
Sundance – a 496 unit property located in Wichita, KS.

The aggregate consideration associated with the acquisition of the properties was approximately $54.3 million (including the assumption of approximately $35.3 million of three senior mortgages and a junior mortgage, the payment of approximately $15.2 million of cash, and a credit against the acquisition price of approximately $3.8 million in exchange for a portion of the equity interests in the venture that was issued to Somerset Village).  In addition, the venture funded approximately $3.1 million towards the payment of items such as third party acquisition costs, insurance and real estate tax escrows and reserves for renovations.  We contributed $17.7 million to the joint venture in exchange for an 80% equity interest therein and our joint venture partner contributed approximately $633,000 of cash and the $3.8 million credit for its 20% equity interest therein.
