Exhibit 99.1

April 18, 2013

Dear Owens Mortgage Investment Fund Limited Partner:

A special meeting of limited partners of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership (“OMIF”) was held on April 16, 2013 to consider and act upon the proposal to convert OMIF to a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). We are pleased to announce that the proposal has been approved by OMIF’s limited partners. The final results of the votes on the proposal were as follows:

Votes Cast For	Votes Cast Against	Votes Abstained	Votes Not Cast
171,602,469	70,065,643	1,666,107	34,229,870

In the coming weeks, management of OMIF expects to meet again with representatives of the New York Stock Exchange to prepare for the completion of converting OMIF to a publicly-traded REIT.  There are also other items that will need to be addressed prior to completing the conversion and we intend to keep limited partners informed of material developments relating to this process.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who patiently considered the proposal.

Sincerely,

William C. Owens

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Owens Financial Group, Inc., the sole general partner of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund,

a California Limited Partnership
