The Trust's officers, Trustees and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the
Trust's Shares are required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Copies of those reports must also be furnished to the Trust. Based
solely on a review of the copies of reports and amendments thereto furnished to
the Trust, the Trust believes that during its 1999 fiscal year, no person who
was a Trustee, officer or greater than 10% beneficial owner of the Trust's
Shares failed to file on a timely basis any report required by Section 16(a),
except that the following individuals had late filings during fiscal 1999: Peter
D. Anzo (Form 5 for purchase of common units in the Operating Partnership); Phil
Greenblatt (Form 4 for purchase of preferred units in the Operating
Partnership); Henry Hirsch (Form 4 for purchase of preferred units in the

Trustees did not receive an annual retainer but did receive $250 for each

1999 No fees were paid to the Non-Employee Trustee after June 29, 1999.

(1) Beneficial share ownership is determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, a beneficial
owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly,
through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise
has or shares the power to vote such security or the power to dispose of
such security. The amounts set forth above as beneficially owned include
Shares owned, if any, by spouses and relatives living in the same home as
to which beneficial ownership may be disclaimed. For purposes of Rule
13d-3, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if such

such security within 60 days.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Trust is a party to certain management agreements with VIP Management, LLC,
("VIP"), an affiliate of Mr. Anzo and Ms. Reed, to provide management services
to the properties owned by the Trust. A total of $455,447 in management and data
processing fees was incurred by the Trust during 1999. In addition, during 1999
VIP provided a number of services to the Trust relating to administrative,
acquisition and capital and asset advisory services. Certain direct costs paid
on Vinings' behalf were reimbursed to VIP and VIP has charged Vinings for
certain overhead charges. Beginning August 1, 1999, the Trust also paid for its
pro-rata share of rent, administrative and other overhead charges, including the
reimbursement for a pro-rata portion of salaries and benefits for the officers
and other employees providing services to the Trust which totaled $265,280.
These payments to VIP represent greater than 5% of VIP's gross revenues for its
last full fiscal year. Mr. Anzo may be deemed to have an indirect material
interest in these transactions because he is a managing member of VIP and owns
95% of its membership interests. Ms. Reed may also be deemed to have an indirect
material interest in these transactions because she is also a managing member of
VIP and owns the remaining 5% of VIP's membership interests. The Trust expects
that VIP will continue to provide management, administrative, acquisition and
capital and asset advisory services to the Trust in the current fiscal year.
In connection with Vinings' acquisition of eight multifamily communities in
Mississippi on May 1, 1999, MFI Realty, Inc., ("MFI"), an affiliate of Mr. Anzo
and Ms. Reed, received an acquisition fee from Vinings totaling $167,103, which
represents greater than 5% of MFI's gross revenues for its last full fiscal
year. Mr. Anzo is an officer of MFI and may be deemed to have an indirect
material interest in this transaction as a result of his majority ownership
interest in the parent company that owns MFI. Ms. Reed is also an officer of MFI
and may be deemed to have an indirect material interest in this transaction as a
result of her minority ownership interest in the parent company that owns MFI.
The Trust does not expect to pay any additional fees to MFI in its current
fiscal year unless MFI presents the Trust with another acquisition opportunity.
On June 28, 1998 the Trust renewed its line of credit in the amount of
$2,000,000 for six months, which expired on December 28, 1998. The Trust did not
renew the line of credit at that time and the bank informally extended the due
date to February 4, 1999 with interest continuing to be paid monthly until the
Trust secured alternative financing. On February 4, 1999 Mr. Watts, who was a
Trustee at the time, purchased the line of credit from the bank and the Trust
paid interest to Mr. Watts monthly at the annual rate of 8.50% from such date
through April 27, 1999. At that time, the Trust obtained a new line of credit,
the entire proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness to
Mr. Watts.
The Trust believes that all of the above relationships and transactions are fair
and reasonable and are on terms at least as favorable to the Trust as those
which might have been obtained with unrelated third parties.
