Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     As reported in Item 2.03 of this Current Report,  on September 18, 2006 the
Registrant's AMREP Southwest Inc.  subsidiary entered into a Loan Agreement with
and delivered its related  Promissory Note (Revolving Line of Credit) to Compass
Bank. A copy of the Loan Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 and a copy of the
Promissory  Note is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K,

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial  Obligation or an Obligation under an
            Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On September 18, 2006, the  Registrant's  AMREP  Southwest Inc.  subsidiary
(the  "Borrower")  entered into a Loan  Agreement with and delivered its related
Promissory  Note  (Revolving Line of Credit) to Compass Bank (said Agreement and
Note,  collectively,  the "Credit  Facility").  The Credit Facility provides the
Borrower until September 17, 2008 with a $25 million unsecured revolving line of
credit.  Up to $5 million of the  revolving  credit is available to the Borrower
for letters of credit. The Borrower has yet to draw on the revolving credit.

     Under the Credit Facility,  letters of credit bear a fee at the annual rate
of 0.95% of face amount,  and revolving  borrowings  bear annual interest at the
Borrower's  option at (i) a  fluctuating  rate per annum of 1.00% below the Wall
Street  Journal  prime rate as in effect from time to time,  or (ii) LIBOR for a
borrowing period selected by Borrower of one, two or three months,  adjusted for
regulatory reserve requirements, plus 1.65% if the outstanding principal balance
of the Note is less  than $10  million  or  1.50% if the  outstanding  principal
balance is $10  million or above.  An  additional  fee of 0.25% per annum on the
unused  portion of the revolving  credit is also payable for any quarter  during
which  outstanding  borrowings  and  letters  of  credit  average  less than $10
million.

     The Credit Facility  contains a number of restrictive  covenants  including
one requiring the Borrower to maintain a minimum tangible net worth.

     Under the Credit  Facility it is an event of default if the Borrower  fails
to make the  payments  required  of it or  otherwise  to fulfill  the  covenants
applicable to it. In the case of events of default which are  unremedied  within
allowable  grace  periods,   the  lender  may  terminate  its  revolving  credit
commitment and require immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings.

     A copy of the Credit  Agreement  is included as Exhibit  10.1 and a copy of
the related  Promissory  Note is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K, and such Exhibits are incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference
and any  description  of the Credit  Facility in this Item 2.03 is  qualified by
such reference.
