     During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which  the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of properties which the General Partners determine
     to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
     be  paid  in  the following manner:  (i) first, 99%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until  the
     Limited  Partners  receive an amount  equal  to:  (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 6%
     of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
     but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
     from  Net  Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the Limited  Partners
     receive  an  amount equal to 14% of their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contribution  per annum, cumulative but not  compounded,  to
     the  extent not previously distributed; (iii) next,  to  the
     General  Partners  until  cumulative  distributions  to  the
     General  Partners under Items (ii) and (iii)  equal  15%  of
     cumulative  distributions to all Partners under  Items  (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing  or  other  disposition  of  property,  will  be
     allocated  first  in the same ratio in  which,  and  to  the
     extent,  Net  Cash Flow is distributed to the  Partners  for
     such year.  Any additional profits will be allocated 90%  to
     the  Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.   In
     the  event  no Net Cash Flow is distributed to  the  Limited
     Partners,  90%  of each item of income, gain or  credit  for
     each  respective  year  shall be allocated  to  the  Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be  allocated  to
     the  General Partners.  Net losses from operations  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the  General
     Partners.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other  disposition  of property  will  be  allocated  in
     accordance  with the Partnership Agreement as  follows:  (i)
     first,  to  those  Partners with deficit balances  in  their
     capital  accounts  in an amount equal to  the  sum  of  such
     deficit  balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited  Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
     in  the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of
     the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an
     amount  equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  allocated; (iii) third, to the General  Partners
     until  cumulative allocations to the General Partners  equal
     15%  of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining balance  will
     be  allocated  85% to the Limited Partners and  15%  to  the
     General  Partners.   Losses will be  allocated  98%  to  the
     Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.

     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the Partnership
     or  withdrawal  by  a General Partner, the General  Partners
     will  contribute to the Partnership an amount equal  to  the
     lesser of the deficit balances in their capital accounts  or
     1%  of total Limited Partners' and General Partners' capital
     contributions.

(3)  INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE -

     In  November 2000, the Partnership sold 9,576 square feet of
     land  from  the  Fuddruckers' property in  Omaha,  Nebraska,
     pursuant to a Right-Of-Way Agreement with the City of  Omaha
     Public  Works.   The Partnership received  net  proceeds  of
     $216,593,  which  resulted  in  a  gain  of  $168,838.   The
     original  cost  of  the  parcel of land  was  $47,755.   The
     Partnership believed the City of Omaha undervalued the  land
     and  negotiated  to receive additional proceeds.   In  March
     2002,  the City of Omaha approved a settlement and paid  the
     Partnership  additional  gross proceeds  of  $69,795,  which
     resulted in a net gain of $59,273.

     Due  to  the  redevelopment of the  roads  adjacent  to  the
     Fuddruckers' property and proceeds received from the city of
     Omaha   for   easements  during  such   redevelopment,   the
     Partnership  agreed  to  a temporary  modification  of  rent
     payments through March 31, 2002.  For the three months ended
     March  31,  2002 and the year ended December 31,  2001,  the
     modification resulted in a reduction of base rent of  $6,410
     and $43,002, respectively.  Due to the permanent changes  to
     the  property  and the proceeds received from  the  city  of
     Omaha, the Partnership may consider a long-term modification
     of the Lease.

     In  August  2000,  Renaissant Development Corp.  (RDC),  the
     lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Victoria, Texas filed
     for reorganization.  RDC closed the restaurant, rejected the
     Lease  and  returned  possession  of  the  property  to  the
     Partnership.   For the period from January 1,  2002  through
     July  2,  2002,  and the year ended December 31,  2001,  the
     Partnership  did not collect scheduled rent of  $82,477  and
     $142,687, respectively.  These amounts were not accrued  for
     financial  reporting purposes.  The Partnership  listed  the
     property for sale or lease.  While the property was  vacant,
     the  Partnership was responsible for real estate  taxes  and
     other costs required to maintain the property.

     In  April 2002, the Partnership received an offer to buy the
     restaurant for $725,000 from an unrelated third  party.   In
     the  first quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for  real
     estate impairment of $106,745 was recognized, which was  the
     difference  between  the book value at  March  31,  2002  of
     $776,745  and the estimated net sales proceeds of  $670,000.
     The  charge  was recorded against the cost of the  land  and
     building.   On  July  3,  2002, the  sale  closed  with  the
     Partnership  receiving net sale proceeds of $673,665,  which
     resulted in a net gain of $3,665.

     In  July 2002, the Partnership entered into an agreement  to
     sell  the Creative Years daycare center for $230,000 to  the
     lessee.   The sale is subject to numerous contingencies  and
     may  not  be  completed.  In the fourth quarter of  2002,  a
     charge  to operations for real estate impairment of  $63,177
     was  recognized, which was the difference between book value
     at  December 31, 2002 of $288,177 and the estimated net sale
     proceeds  of $225,000.  The charge was recorded against  the
     cost of the land and building.

 (3) INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE - (Continued)

     On  December  31, 2002, the Lease term for the Grand  Rapids
     Teachers   Credit   Union  in  Wyoming,  Michigan   expired.
     Originally,  the lessee planned to move out of the  building
     and  relocate to a new building in the area.  On a month-to-
     month basis, the lessee rented a portion of the property for
     $1,250  per  month while their new building was constructed.
     The  Partnership listed the property for sale with  a  local
     real  estate broker.  Subsequently, the Credit Union decided
     to  purchase the property for $400,000.  On March 28,  2003,
     the  sale  closed  with the Partnership receiving  net  sale
     proceeds  of  $399,184, which resulted  in  a  net  gain  of
     $41,624.   At  the  time  of  sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated   depreciation  was   $626,240   and   $268,680,
     respectively.   At  December  31,  2002,  the  property  was
     classified as Real Estate Held for Sale.

     In  February 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to  sell the two JEMCARE daycare centers in Arlington, Texas
     to the lessee for $175,000 for the property on Arkansas Lane
     and  $325,000  for the property on Matlock Avenue.   In  the
     fourth  quarter  of  2002, a charge to operations  for  real
     estate  impairment  of  $114,648  was  recognized  for   the
     property on Arkansas Lane, which was the difference  between
     book  value  at  December  31,  2002  of  $282,648  and  the
     estimated  net  sale  proceeds of  $168,000.   A  charge  to
     operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $131,740  was
     recognized for the property located on Matlock Avenue, which
     was  the difference between book value at December 31,  2002
     of $449,740 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $318,000.
     The  charges were recorded against the cost of the land  and
     building.   On  March  7, 2003, the  sale  closed  with  the
     Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $172,822 for  the
     property on Arkansas Lane, which resulted in a net  gain  of
     $5,935.    At  the  time  of  sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated   depreciation  was   $335,827   and   $168,940,
     respectively.   The Partnership received  $321,970  for  the
     property on Matlock Avenue, which resulted in a net gain  of
     $5,212.    At  the  time  of  sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated   depreciation  was   $471,902   and   $155,144,
     respectively.

     During  the  first  three  months  of  2003  and  2002,  the
     Partnership  distributed $539,156 and $114,940 of  net  sale
     proceeds   to  the  Limited  and  General  Partners,   which
     represented  a  return of capital of $40.45  and  $8.58  per
     Limited  Partnership Unit, respectively.  The remaining  net
     sale  proceeds  will be distributed to the Partners  in  the
     future.

(5)  DEFERRED INCOME -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurant  in  Omaha,  Nebraska  and  assumed   the   lease
     obligations  from  the  original lessee.   As  part  of  the
     agreement,  the Partnership amended the Lease to reduce  the
     base  rent from $167,699 to $145,081.  The Partnership could
     receive  additional  rent in the  future  if  10%  of  gross
     receipts  from  the  property  exceed  the  base  rent.   In
     consideration  for the lease assumption and  amendment,  the
     Partnership  received a lump sum payment from  the  original
     lessee of $159,539.  The lump sum payment will be recognized
     as  income  over  the  remainder of the  Lease  term,  which
     expires  on  November  30,  2007, using  the  straight  line
     method.

     Through   March  31,  2003  and  December  31,   2002,   the
     Partnership  had  recognized $104,055 and  $101,082  of  the
     payment  as  income.   At  March  31,  2003,  the  remaining
     deferred  income  of  $3,091 was  prepaid  rent  related  to
     certain other Partnership properties.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward  looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  federal
securities  laws  which  represent management's  expectations  or
beliefs  concerning future events, including statements regarding
anticipated  application of cash, expected  returns  from  rental
income,  growth  in revenue, taxation levels, the sufficiency  of
cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other
matters.  These, and other forward looking statements made by the
Partnership,  must be evaluated in the context  of  a  number  of
factors that may affect the Partnership's financial condition and
results of operations, including the following:

       - Market  and  economic conditions which affect the  value
          of  the  properties the Partnership owns and  the  cash
          from rental income such properties generate;

       - the  federal  income tax consequences of rental  income,
          deductions,  gain  on  sales and other  items  and  the
          affects of these consequences for the Partners;

       - resolution  by  the General Partners of  conflicts  with
          which they may be confronted;

       - the   success  of  the  General  Partners  of   locating
          properties with favorable risk return characteristics;

       - the effect of tenant defaults; and

       - the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
          properties owned by the Partnership operate.







ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

The Application of Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that  may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues  and
expenses,  and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets   and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on  an  ongoing
basis,  including  those related to the carrying  value  of  real
estate  and  the  allocation  by AEI  Fund  Management,  Inc.  of
expenses  to  the  Partnership as opposed  to  other  funds  they
manage.

        The Partnership purchases properties and records them  in
the  financial  statements  at the lower  of  cost  or  estimated
realizable   value.   The  Partnership  initially   records   the
properties  at cost (including capitalized acquisition expenses).
The Partnership is required to periodically evaluate the carrying
value  of properties to determine whether their realizable  value
has  declined.   For  properties the Partnership  will  hold  and
operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by
comparing the property's probability-weighted cash flows  to  its
current carrying value.  For properties held for sale, management
determines  whether  impairment has  occurred  by  comparing  the
property's estimated fair value less cost to sell to its  current
carrying  value.   If  the carrying value  is  greater  than  the
realizable  value, an impairment loss is recorded to  reduce  the
carrying value of the property to its realizable value.  A change
in  these assumptions or analysis could cause material changes in
the carrying value of the properties.

       AEI Fund Management Inc. allocates expenses to each of the
funds  they manage primarily on the basis of the number of  hours
devoted  by  their employees to each fund's affairs.   They  also
allocate  some  expenses at the end of each month  that  are  not
directly related to a fund's operations based upon the number  of
investors  in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative  to
other  funds  they  manage.   The  Partnership  reimburses  these
expenses  subject  to  detailed  limitations  contained  in   the
Partnership Agreement.

         Management   of  the  Partnership  has   discussed   the
development  and selection of the above accounting estimates  and
the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them
with the managing partner of the Partnership.

Results of Operations

        For  the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $129,174  and  $105,984,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $1,434 and $3,578, respectively.   In  2003,
rental  income was higher than in 2002 mainly as a  result  of  a
percentage  rent  payment received on one property  in  2003  and
temporary  rent  modifications on two properties  reduced  rental
income in 2002.

        In  August 2000, Renaissant Development Corp. (RDC),  the
lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Victoria, Texas filed  for
reorganization.   RDC closed the restaurant, rejected  the  Lease
and  returned possession of the property to the Partnership.  For
the  period  from January 1, 2002 through July 2, 2002,  and  the
year  ended  December 31, 2001, the Partnership did  not  collect
scheduled  rent  of  $82,477 and $142,687,  respectively.   These
amounts  were not accrued for financial reporting purposes.   The
Partnership  listed the property for sale or  lease.   While  the
property  was  vacant, the Partnership was responsible  for  real
estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        In  April 2002, the Partnership received an offer to  buy
the  restaurant for $725,000 from an unrelated third  party.   In
the first quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate
impairment  of $106,745 was recognized, which was the  difference
between  the  book  value at March 31, 2002 of $776,745  and  the
estimated  net  sales  proceeds  of  $670,000.   The  charge  was
recorded against the cost of the land and building.  On  July  3,
2002,  the  sale closed with the Partnership receiving  net  sale
proceeds of $673,665, which resulted in a net gain of $3,665.

       In July 2002, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
sell  the  Creative  Years daycare center  for  $230,000  to  the
lessee.   The sale is subject to numerous contingencies  and  may
not  be  completed.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, a  charge  to
operations  for real estate impairment of $63,177 was recognized,
which was the difference between book value at December 31,  2002
of $288,177 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $225,000.  The
charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building.

        On December 31, 2002, the Lease term for the Grand Rapids

On March 28, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving
net  sale proceeds of $399,184, which resulted in a net  gain  of
$41,624.   At  the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation   was  $626,240  and  $268,680,  respectively.    At
December  31,  2002, the property was classified as  Real  Estate
Held for Sale.

         In  February  2003,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  to sell the two JEMCARE daycare centers in  Arlington,
Texas  to  the lessee for $175,000 for the property  on  Arkansas
Lane  and  $325,000 for the property on Matlock Avenue.   In  the
fourth  quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for  real  estate
impairment  of  $114,648  was  recognized  for  the  property  on
Arkansas  Lane, which was the difference between  book  value  at
December 31, 2002 of $282,648 and the estimated net sale proceeds
of  $168,000.  A charge to operations for real estate  impairment
of  $131,740 was recognized for the property located  on  Matlock
Avenue,  which was the difference between book value at  December
31,  2002  of  $449,740 and the estimated net  sale  proceeds  of
$318,000.  The charges were recorded against the cost of the land
and  building.   On  March  7, 2003, the  sale  closed  with  the
Partnership  receiving  net sale proceeds  of  $172,822  for  the
property  on  Arkansas Lane, which resulted  in  a  net  gain  of
$5,935.   At  the time of sale, the cost and related  accumulated
depreciation  was  $335,827  and  $168,940,  respectively.    The
Partnership received $321,970 for the property on Matlock Avenue,
which resulted in a net gain of $5,212.  At the time of sale, the
cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  was  $471,902  and
$155,144, respectively.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated  parties of $29,015 and $56,594, respectively.   These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $12,252 and $24,158, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   Leases  may contain rent increases,  based  on  the
increase  in  the  Consumer Price Index over a specified  period,
which  will result in an increase in rental income over the  term
of  the  leases.   In addition, leases may contain  rent  clauses
which  entitle  the  Partnership to receive  additional  rent  in
future  years  if gross receipts for the property exceed  certain
specified  amounts.  Increases in sales volumes of  the  tenants,
due to inflation and real sales growth, may result in an increase
in rental income over the term of the leases.  Inflation also may
cause the real estate to appreciate in value.  However, inflation
and  changing prices may have an adverse impact on the  operating
margins  of  the  properties' tenants, which could  impair  their
ability  to  pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net  Cash  Flow
available for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2003,  the
Partnership's  cash balances increased $839,418 as  a  result  of
cash  generated  from the sale of property, which  was  partially
offset  by distributions paid to the Partners in excess  of  cash
generated  from  operating  activities.   Net  Cash  provided  by
operating  activities increased from $(7,896) in 2002 to  $65,914
in  2003  mainly  as  a result of an increase  in  income  and  a
decrease in Partnership administration expenses in 2003.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the
Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real  estate  of
$893,976 and $59,273, respectively.

        In  November 2000, the Partnership sold 9,576 square feet
of  land  from  the  Fuddruckers' property  in  Omaha,  Nebraska,
pursuant  to  a  Right-Of-Way Agreement with the  City  of  Omaha
Public Works.  The Partnership received net proceeds of $216,593,
which  resulted in a gain of $168,838.  The original cost of  the
parcel of land was $47,755.  The Partnership believed the City of
Omaha  undervalued the land and negotiated to receive  additional
proceeds.  In March 2002, the City of Omaha approved a settlement
and  paid  the Partnership additional gross proceeds of  $69,795,
which resulted in a net gain of $59,273.

        Due  to  the redevelopment of the roads adjacent  to  the
Fuddruckers'  property and proceeds received  from  the  city  of
Omaha  for  easements during such redevelopment, the  Partnership
agreed to a temporary modification of rent payments through March
31, 2002.  For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year
ended December 31, 2001, the modification resulted in a reduction
of  base  rent of $6,410 and $43,002, respectively.  Due  to  the
permanent changes to the property and the proceeds received  from
the  city  of  Omaha,  the Partnership may consider  a  long-term
modification of the Lease.

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.

        During  the  first  three months of 2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership  distributed  $539,156  and  $114,940  of  net   sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which represented a
return  of  capital  of $40.45 and $8.58 per Limited  Partnership
Unit,  respectively.   The remaining net sale  proceeds  will  be
distributed to the Partners in the future.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited  Partners
who  have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in  any  year  more than 5%  of  the  number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During  2002, eight Limited Partners redeemed a total  of
69.67  Partnership  Units  for $10,137  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
174  Limited  Partners  redeemed 1,735.15 Partnership  Units  for
$1,115,407.   The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining  Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash  generated from property sales, should be adequate  to
fund   continuing   distributions  and  meet  other   Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

       (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

        Under  the  supervision  and with  the  participation  of
management, including its President and Chief Financial  Officer,
the  Managing  General Partner of the Partnership  evaluated  the
effectiveness  of  the  design and operation  of  its  disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule [13a-14(c)/15d-14(c)]
under  the Exchange Act) related to the Partnership as of a  date
(the  "Evaluation Date") within 90 days prior to the filing  date
of  this  report.  Based upon that evaluation, the President  and
Chief Financial Officer of the Managing General Partner concluded
that,  as  of  the Evaluation Date, the disclosure  controls  and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to the  material
information  relating to the Partnership required to be  included
in periodic SEC filings.

       (b)  Changes in internal controls

         There   were   no  significant  changes  made   in   the
Partnership's internal controls during the period covered by this
report or, to the Managing General Partner's knowledge, in  other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent
to the date of their evaluation.
