Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

       On  June  16, 1999, the Partnership, AEI Real  Estate
Fund  XVI  Limited Partnership, sold its 40% interest  in  a
Fuddruckers  restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri to  Elizabeth
Cockrum,  who  is not affiliated with the Partnership.   The
remaining  interest  was sold by AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XV
Limited  Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.   The
total cash sales price was $1,900,000.

      The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately
$760,000 for its interest in the property, which resulted in
a net gain of approximately $175,000.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (a) A  limited number of proforma adjustments
             are  required to illustrate the effects of  the
             transaction  on  the balance sheet  and  income
             statement.      The     following     narrative
             description  is  furnished  in  lieu   of   the
             proforma statements:

             Assuming  the Partnership had sold the property
             on   January   1,   1998,   the   Partnership's
             Investments  in  Real Estate  would  have  been
             reduced  by  $601,198 and  its  Current  Assets
             (cash)  would  have increased by  $760,000  and
             Partner's  Capital  would  have  increased   by
             $158,802.

             The  Total  Income  for the  Partnership  would
             have decreased from $1,057,876 to $965,712  for
             the  year  ended  December 31,  1998  and  from
             $261,922  to  $238,881 for three  months  ended
             March  31,  1999  if  the Partnership  had  not
             owned the property during the periods.

             Depreciation  Expense would have  decreased  by
             $11,317  and $2,511 for the year ended December
             31,  1998 and the three months ended March  31,
             1999, respectively.

             Partnership    Administration   and    Property
             Management  Expense  would  have  decreased  by
             $1,741  and  $134 for the year  ended  December
             31,  1998 and the three months ended March  31,
             1999, respectively.

             The  net  effect of these proforma  adjustments
             would  have caused Net Income to decrease  from
             $351,608  to  $272,502  and  from  $147,068  to
             $126,672,  which  would have  resulted  in  Net
             Income   of   $19.49  and  $9.22  per   Limited
             Partnership  Unit  outstanding  for  the   year
             ended  December 31, 1998 and the  three  months
             ended March 31, 1999, respectively.
