Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Shelter  Properties  V (the  "Registrant")  owns a 99.99%  interest  in  Foxfire
Apartments V Limited  Partnership,  a South Carolina  limited  partnership  (the
"Partnership").  The Partnership owns Foxfire  Apartments,  a 266-unit apartment
complex  located  in  Atlanta,  Georgia  ("Foxfire").   On  May  12,  2005,  the
Partnership,   and  seven  other  partnerships  that  own  apartment   complexes
containing 1,554 units, collectively (the "Selling Partnerships"),  entered into
a Purchase and Sale Contract (the "Purchase  Agreement") with a third party, The
Bethany Group, LLC, a California  limited liability company (the "Purchaser") to
sell the eight apartment  complexes  owned by the  Partnerships to the Purchaser
for a total sales price of  $102,547,082,  of which  $10,445,347  represents the
sales price for Foxfire.  Each of the Selling  Partnerships  is affiliated  with
AIMCO  Properties,  L.P., an affiliate of the general partner of the Partnership
("AIMCO Properties").

The  following  is a  summary  of the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Purchase
Agreement,  which  summary is  qualified  in its  entirety by  reference  to the
Purchase  Agreement,  a copy of which will be filed with the  Registrant's  Form
10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005.

PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $102,547,082,  of which  $10,445,347
represents  the sales  price for  Foxfire,  subject  to certain  prorations  and
adjustments  at the  closing.  The  Purchaser  delivered  an initial  deposit of
$969,192, of which $98,721 is allocated to the Partnership.

CLOSING.  The expected  closing date for the  transaction  is June 30, 2005. The
Purchaser  has the right to extend the  closing  for up to  twenty-nine  days by
delivering written notice and delivering an additional  (non-refundable) payment
of  $969,192,  of which  $98,721  would be  allocated  to the  Partnership.  The
Purchaser  has the right to extend the closing an  additional  eighteen  days by
delivering written notice and delivering an additional  (non-refundable) payment
of $646,128,  of which  $65,814  would be allocated  to the  Partnership.  AIMCO
Properties,  in its capacity as representative of the Selling Partnerships,  has
the right to condition  the closing of Foxfire  upon,  among other  things,  the
closing  of the eight  other  properties.  Furthermore,  the  Purchaser  is also
contracting  to purchase four  additional  properties  from  affiliates of AIMCO
Properties pursuant to a separate purchase and sale agreement.  If the Purchaser
terminates,  or has the right to  terminate,  the  additional  purchase and sale
agreement,  the Selling  Partnerships  shall have the option to terminate  their
agreement as well. The closing is also subject to customary  closing  conditions
and deliveries.

COSTS AND FEES.  With  respect to  Foxfire,  the  Purchaser  will pay all of the
mortgage  taxes,  transfer  taxes,  and  recording  costs,  any premiums or fees
required  to be paid  with  respect  to the  title  policy  and one  half of the
customary  closing costs of the escrow agent.  The Partnership will pay the base
premium of the title policy and one-half of the  customary  closing costs of the
escrow agent. With respect to the other seven apartment complexes, the costs and
fees  to be  paid by the  Purchaser  and  respective  selling  partnership  vary
according to the state the apartment complex is located.

REPRESENTATIONS  AND WARRANTIES.  The  Partnerships  and the Purchaser each made
limited representations and warranties to the other.

RISK OF LOSS.  The risk of loss or damage to the eight  apartment  complexes  by
reason of any  insured or  uninsured  casualty  during the  period  through  and
including the closing date will be borne by the  Partnerships.  The Partnerships
must maintain all of their existing  insurance  coverage on the eight  apartment
complexes in full force and effect until the closing date.

ASSIGNMENT.  With  the  exception  of an  assignment  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Purchaser,  the Purchase  Agreement is not  assignable by the Purchaser  without
first obtaining the prior written approval of the Partnerships.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If the Purchaser  defaults in its obligations to deliver
when required any required  deposits,  the purchase price or any other specified
deliveries,  then,  immediately  and without notice or cure, the Purchaser shall
forfeit such deposits to the Partnerships,  and neither party shall be obligated
to proceed  with the  purchase and sale of the eight  apartment  complexes.  The
Partnerships expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional
damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.

If the  Partnerships,  prior to the closing,  default in their  representations,
warranties,  covenants,  or obligations then the Purchaser has the option of (i)
terminating  the Purchase  Agreement,  having  returned any deposits made by the
Purchaser, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct
and actual out-of-pocket  expenses and costs up to $45,000 per apartment complex
or (ii) seeking specific performance of the Partnerships'  obligation to deliver
the deed pursuant.
