1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The   accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  should  be  read   in
  conjunction  with  the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report.  These  statements
  have  been  prepared in accordance with the instructions to the  Securities
  and   Exchange  Commission  Form  10-Q  and  do  not  include  all  of  the
  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
  principles for complete financial statements.

  In  the  opinion  of  the general partner, all adjustments  (consisting  of
  normal  recurring  accruals) considered necessary for a  fair  presentation
  have  been  included.  The results of operations for the six  months  ended
  June  30, 1996 and 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
  may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

  For  purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
  highly  liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less  at  the
  time  of purchase to be cash equivalent.  The Partnership paid interest  of
  $321   and  $234  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,
  respectively.


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

INTRODUCTION

LIF  (the  "Partnership")  is a California limited  partnership.   Operations
commenced in November 1985.

The Partnership currently has an investment in Landsing Private Fund-21 ("LPF-
21")  which  owns  one  multi-family rental property, Prince  Creek  Partners
("PCP")  which  owns  two  residential rental properties,  and  Cattle  Creek
Development  Partners  ("CCDP") which owns two retail rental  properties  and
Alpine  Center  Partners which has one retail building  under  redevelopment.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's investments are presented
on a consolidated basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As  of  June  30,  1996, the Partnership's consolidated cash balance  totaled
$391,000.   Cash not required for current operations is placed  in  federally
insured  financial instruments and money market funds which can be liquidated
as  needed.   It  is  the Partnership's intention to maintain  adequate  cash
reserves for its operations.

During the first half of 1996, the Partnership experienced a net decrease  in
cash  of  $264,000.   As  of June 30, 1996, cash totaled  $391,000  versus  a
balance  of  $655,000  at December 31, 1995 for a net decrease  of  $264,000.
This decrease in cash reserves was a result of payments on notes payable  and
the  new  investment in Alpine Center Partners.  The General Partner  expects
Partnership operations to remain stable for the remainder of the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's operating results for the first six months of 1996 are down
slightly compared to that of 1995.  Revenues have decreased 4% as compared to
1995.  This is the result of one property sale and the re-leasing required at
Valley  View  Business Center after its renovation.  Additionally,  operating
expenses have increased 8%.  Interest expense has increased 34% from 1996  to
1995 as a result of the refinancing of the Whistler Point mortgage.  Revenues
have  decreased  primarily due to increased competition in the  Boise,  Idaho
luxury apartments market.

PROPERTY STATUS

During  the second quarter, the residential property owned by Thompson  Creek
Partners  was  sold for $182,500.00 resulting in a net gain of  $6,000.   The
three  residential properties owned by PCP were placed on the  market  during
the  second quarter.  One property sold, resulting in a net gain of  $29,000,
while  the other two properties are under contract and are projected to close
in  the  third  quarter.  There are outstanding contingencies on  both  these
contracts and there can be no assurance that they will close.


The two properties owned by CCDP are expected to be sold or refinanced during
the third quarter.

During  the second quarter, the Partnership made a short term loan to  Alpine
Center  Partners which is in the process of expanding and renovating a retail
building.

OCCUPANCY

As  of  June  30, 1996 the Whistler Point Luxury Apartments were 91%  leased.
Occupancy is expected to remain at this level through the remainder of  1996.
Occupancies  for  the  CCDP properties, 701 Cooper and Valley  View  Business
Center, were 100% and 75% respectively.

INFLATION

The effects of inflation on the Partnership's operations have been no greater
than  the  effect  on  the  economy  as  a  whole.   Because  of  competitive
conditions,  market  rate  rents may increase or decrease  disproportionately
with inflation while property operating costs continue to follow inflationary
trends.   Inflationary conditions are not expected to have a major impact  on
the Partnership during 1996.
                                      

                        PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
                                      
                                      
All  items  in Part II have been omitted since they are inapplicable  or  the
answer is negative.
