AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1

OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

This Amendment No. 9 amends Amendment No. 8 (as filed on May 5, 2011, “Amendment No. 8”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D (as filed on March 22, 2002, the “Schedule 13D”) in relation to shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in Amendments Nos. 1 through 8, or the original Schedule 13D.

Items 3, 4, and 5 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 8, and the original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 3 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 8, and the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The aggregate amount of funds used in purchasing the shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned in Item 5 hereof was approximately $17.3 million.

The fifth paragraph of Item 3 of Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, and Amendment No. 7 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Upon filing the May 5, 2011 Amendment No. 8 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively owned 3,282,347 shares of Common Stock, or 9.56% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. At July 31, 2012, Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively owned 2,433,422 shares of Common Stock, or 7.09% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The decrease from 9.56% ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the May 5, 2011 filing to 7.09% at July 31, 2012 is attributable to the net effect of:

Issuer issued 5,881,552 (17%) new shares of Common Stock between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2012, and therefore, shares outstanding increased from 34,340,823 to 40,222,375 during such period.

Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively decreased their owned shares of Common Stock by 848,924 shares, from 3,282,347 shares at April 30, 2011 to 2,433,422 shares at July 31, 2012.

Page 8 of 11

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 4 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 8, and the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun had net disposals of 848,924 shares of Common Stock between April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2012. Their total ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was 7.09% at July 31, 2012, down from 9.56% at April 30, 2011.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Item 5 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 8, and the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

(a) As of July 31, 2012, Oakland owned 17,307 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.04% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Liberty Bell owned 46,543 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.12% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Cherokee owned 2,194,103 shares, or approximately 5.45% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Erie owned 91,503 shares, or approximately 0.23% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Apache owned 83,884 shares, or approximately 0.21% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and Matthew Moroun owned 83 shares, or approximately 0.0002% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. On a collective basis, as of July 31, 2012, the reporting persons beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 7.09% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The above ownership percentages are calculated based on the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (and excluding “Preferred Stock” outstanding) as reported by Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
