The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the interim periods
presented.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the
Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for 
interim periods should not be considered as indicative of the results to be
expected for a full year.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995 financial statements to
conform to the presentation of 1996 results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Operations of the Partnership are centered on one apartment complex owned by the
Partnership (Las Cortes Apartments), collections on a mortgage note received
upon sale of one of the Partnership's properties, and protection of the
Partnership's mortgage interest in such property.

On January 15, 1995, the owners of Las Cortes Apartments (formerly known as
Lincoln Terrace Apartments) were required to make a mortgage balloon payment to
the Partnership in the amount of $10,153,932.24, plus $24,170.71 in accrued
legal expenses and out of pocket costs from previous defaults and a tax escrow
payment of $8,292.15.  No payment was received by the Partnership and a Notice
of Default was sent to the owners of the property on January 24, 1995.  On
March 7, 1995 the Partnership foreclosed on the mortgage and took title to the
property.

The Partnership's total revenues increased $333,835 or 137% for the three months
ending March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The
increase in rents and other tenant charges of $266,654 or 233% is due to the
collection of rental revenue at Las Cortes Apartments for the entire first
quarter, while the 1995 amount represents rental activity for a portion of
the month of March 1995, only.

Expenses of the Partnership increased $268,834 or 204% for the quarter ending
March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period of the prior year.  Increases in
certain accounts related to the operations at Las Cortes Apartments are due to
the 1996 amounts representing three months rental operations; whereas 1995
represents the month of March, 1995. 

The liquidity of the Partnership is dependent upon the timely receipt of income.
There are no other credit facilities currently in place and limited partners
have no obligation to provide additional funds in excess of their initial cash
contributions.  In order to protect the Partnership in the event of a reduction
in cash flow, management closely monitors the Partnership's cash position, and,
when necessary, will reserve adequate funds to continue to operate the
Partnership in the foreseeable future.  Funds so reserved are generally invested
in short-term investments.  The Partnership endeavors to maintain adequate
liquidity on a short-term basis as a result of its cash flow and reserve
policies; however, there can be no assurance of continued collections on the
existing mortgage note or the continued performance of the Partnership's rental
property.  Unanticipated collection problems on the existing note, or a decline
in the Partnership's rental property, could have a negative effect upon the
long-term liquidity of the Partnership.  Funds generated from operations and
collections on the wrap-around mortgage note have primarily been utilized to
meet debt service obligations and, when possible, distribute funds to the
Partners.  Funds in excess of Partnership reserves resulted in distributions
totaling $652,181 or $29.00 per partnership unit being paid during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996.
