Dear Mr. Kluck:
     Set forth below are the responses of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) to certain of the Commission’s comments in its letter dated September 9, 2011 regarding Amendment No. 4 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11. To expedite your review, we have attached hereto the changed pages to Amendment No. 4, marked to show the changes made in response to the Commission’s comments. We understand that the Commission may have additional comments after reviewing the changed pages and the responses set forth below.
     For your convenience, the Commission’s comments have been repeated herein in bold font, with the Company’s responses immediately following each of the Commission’s comments.
General
1.   We note your disclosure on the cover page of the prospectus and throughout the registration statement that you will only pay distributions from operating cash flow. Please clarify throughout the document whether this will be net operating cash flow under GAAP or if it means something else.
 
    In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the disclosure on the cover page of the prospectus and elsewhere in the prospectus where applicable to clarify that the operating cash flow from which distributions will be payable will be under GAAP.
