     Item 5.  Other Events.

     On July 28, 1999,  Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation
(Registrant) purchased a 95,883 square foot warehouse facility in
Jacksonville, Florida from Regional Development Group, Inc., an unrelated
entity.  This warehouse facility is 100% net leased  to Federal Express
Corporation.   The purchase price was approximately $5,900,000.
Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation paid approximately
$200,000 in cash, used approximately $1,600,000 of its revolving line of
credit with Summit Bank and  assumed a mortgage of  approximately
$4,100,000.  This  mortgage  payable is at an interest rate of 6.92% and is
due December 1, 2016.  The property acquired is commercial  rental
property  and will continue to be used as such.

    	The following are the material factors to be considered in assessing
the property:

          *   Description  of Property - The property acquired is a 95,883
square foot warehouse facility located at 3736 Salisbury Road, Jacksonville,
Florida.

         	*   Occupancy Rate and Number of Tenants - The  commercial rental
property acquired was constructed in 1998.   Commencing May 30, 1998, the
property was 100% occupied under a 10-year net lease agreement with Federal
Express Corporation.  This  net lease agreement provides  that operating
expenses, including  property taxes, insurance,  landscaping,  utilities  and
repairs in the ordinary  course  of business, be borne by the tenant.

	         *   Principal  Business of Tenant - Federal Express Corporation
uses this property as a distribution facility.  Registrant  believes that
Federal Express Corporation will continue to use this property as such.

	         *   Principal  Provisions  of  Lease  -  The  following  are  the
principal provisions of the lease:

                    Term                     			Monthly Rent

               	5/31/98 - 5/31/03             		  $ 42,167
	               6/01/03 - 5/31/08	            		  $ 45,409

	    At the end of the lease term,  the tenant has two (5) year options to
renew at the greater of 90% of the previous year's rent or the prevailing
market rent.

     The Seller assigned the lease to Registrant.

         	*   Basis  of Acquired Property for Depreciation - The basis  for
depreciation   is   the   purchase   price   of   the   property.
Approximately  80%  of  the  purchase price  is  attributable  to building
and improvements,  which will be depreciated over a 39 year  life  on a
straight-line basis (Modified Accelerated Recovery System).  The residual is
attributable to land.

	         *   Anticipated  Capital Improvements - The Registrant  does  not
anticipate  any significant capital improvements during the  term of the
lease described above.

	         *   Insurance Coverage - Insurance on the property is paid for by
the tenant.   In the opinion of the Registrant,  this coverage is adequate.

	    Registrant knows of no other material factors relating to the
property acquired other that those discussed in this Form 8-K.

    	The following is pro forma  financial information.   The impact  of
the property  acquired to the financial statements of the  Registrant is as
follows:


     ADJUSTMENTS  TO  STATEMENT  OF  INCOME

	    Rental  and  Occupancy Charges - Increase of $528,000 based  upon
	    amortization of the total rental payments for scheduled  rent over
     the	remaining lease term.

	    Interest  Expense - Increase of $407,000 based upon a mortgage of
	    $4,100,000 at 6.92% interest and total monthly principal and
     interest	payments of $35,490, and a revolving line of credit balance
     increase	of $1,600,000 at prime (currently 8%).

	    Depreciation Expense - Increase of $121,000 based upon 80% of the
	    purchase  price being  attributed to building and  improvements, and
    	straight-line depreciation over a 39 year life.

	    Net  Income  - No change (rental and occupancy charges less interest
	    expense and depreciation expense).

	    The  effect  of  cash  made available by operations  will  be  an
increase	of $121,000 (net income plus depreciation).

     ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BALANCE SHEET AT DATE OF PURCHASE

	    Cash  and Cash Equivalents - Decrease of  $200,000,  the amount of
	    cash used for the purchase.

	    Land  and  Buildings,  Improvements and Equipment -  Increase  of
	    $5,900,000, based on the purchase price.

	    Notes  Payable -  Increase of  $1,600,000, the  amount  used on the
	    revolving line of credit.

    	Mortgage  Notes Payable - Increase of $4,100,000,  the amount  of
	    the mortgage on the acquired property.

	    Registrant  knows of no other financial statement item which would
be materially affected by the acquired property.
