Notes to Portfolio of Investments
March 31, 2020 (unaudited)


1. Portfolio Valuation
Investment securities of RMR Real Estate Income Fund, (the "Fund"), are valued as of the close of trading at the latest sales price whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Securities traded primarily on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, are normally valued by the Fund at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, or NOCP, provided by Nasdaq each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the ‘‘inside’’ bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, Nasdaq will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer to the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., eastern time, that day. Some fixed income securities may be valued using values provided by a pricing service.
To the extent the Fund holds foreign securities in its portfolio, those are valued at the latest sales price reflected on the consolidated tape of the exchange that reflects the principal market for such securities whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Some foreign markets close before the close of customary trading sessions on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Often, events occur after the principal foreign exchange on which foreign securities trade has closed, but before the NYSE closes, that the Fund determines could affect the value of the foreign securities the Fund owns or cause their earlier trading prices to be unreliable as a basis for determining value. If these events are expected to affect the Fund’s net asset value, or NAV, the prices of such securities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund’s board of trustees.
Any of the Fund’s securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Fund at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund’s board of trustees.
Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. See Note 2 for a further description of fair value measurements.
Investments in open end mutual funds are valued at the closed NAV on valuation date.
2. Fair Value Measurements
The Fund reports the value of its securities at their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. When valuing portfolio securities, the Fund uses observable market data when possible and otherwise uses other significant observable or unobservable inputs for fair value measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions the Fund believes that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk; for example, the risk inherent in using a particular valuation technique to measure fair value and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three tier hierarchy of inputs used to value securities reported in these financial statements is summarized below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.    
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The Fund uses broker quotes, issuer company financial information and other market indicators to value the securities whose prices are not readily available. The types of inputs used to value a security may change as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.
When the S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 common stocks) fluctuates more than 0.75% from the previous day close, the Fund believes that the closing price of foreign securities on the principal foreign exchange on which they trade may no longer represent the fair value of those securities at the time the U.S. market closes, in which case, the Fund fair values those foreign securities. In such circumstances, the Fund reports holdings in foreign securities at their fair values as determined by an independent security pricing service. The service uses a multi-factor model that includes such information as the security’s local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depository receipts and futures, as applicable. The model generates an adjustment factor for each security that is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing events, resulting in the security’s reported fair value. The adjustment factor is applied to a security only if the minimum confidence interval is 75% or more. The types of inputs may change as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.

The Fund recognizes interperiod transfers between the input levels as of the end of the period. On March 31, 2020, a foreign security with a fair value of $1,713,402 was transferred to Level 3 from Level 1 and, as described above, valued at fair value as determined by an independent pricing service due to a more than 0.75% fluctuation of the S&P 500 Index from the previous day close. As of
March 31, 2020, there were no transfers of investments among Level 1 and Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used on March 31, 2020, in valuing the Fund's investments:

The $853,214 difference between the financial reporting cost basis and tax cost basis of the Fund's investments as of March 31, 2020 is due to the different treatment of wash sales of portfolio investments and non-taxable distributions received from portfolio investments for financial and tax reporting purposes.
COVID-19 Pandemic
An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as “COVID-19” was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. The current economic situation resulting from the unprecedented measures taken around the world to combat the spread of COVID-19 may continue to contribute to severe market disruptions, volatility and reduced economic activity. Furthermore, measures taken to battle COVID-19 may have long term negative effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economies and may cause further economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. It is difficult to predict how long the financial markets and economic activity will continue to be impacted by these events and the effects of these or similar events in the future on the U.S. economy and financial markets. These events could have had, and may continue to have, a significant negative impact on the Fund’s performance, net asset value, income, operating results and ability to pay distributions, as well as the performance, income, operating results and viability of issuers in which it invests.
Subsequent events
On April 16, 2020, shareholders approved a change in the Fund's business from a registered investment company to a commercial mortgage REIT and amended the Fund's fundamental investment policies and restrictions to permit the Fund to pursue its new business. Among other investment policy changes, the Fund's fundamental investment objectives of earning and paying a high level of current income to common shareholders, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, have been replaced with a non-fundamental primary objective to balance capital preservation with generating attractive risk adjusted returns. The Fund has begun the process of realigning its portfolio so that it is no longer an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a deregistration order. The Fund intends to sell its existing investments and transition its portfolio into commercial mortgages as opportunities within its new business mandate arise and subject to applicable compliance requirements and other business considerations.
