                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
                         MARCH 31, 1996
                                
                           (Unaudited)
                                

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.

(2)  Organization -
  
     AEI  Real  Estate Fund XVI Limited Partnership (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by AEI Fund Management XVI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing General
     Partner   of  the  Partnership.   Robert  P.  Johnson,   the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.  An affiliate
     of   AFM,   AEI   Fund   Management,  Inc.,   performs   the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on  February  6,  1987  when  minimum
     subscriptions    of   2,000   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($2,000,000)  were  accepted.   The  Partnership's  offering
     terminated on November 6, 1987 when the maximum subscription
     limit of 15,000 Limited Partnership Units ($15,000,000)  was
     reached.
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $15,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.  During the  operation
     of the Partnership, 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.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)
  
     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's 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  the  Partnership's
     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  Partnership
     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 the Partnership's 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  May, 1990, Flagship, Inc. (Flagship), the lessee of  the
     J.T.  McCord's  properties, filed for reorganization,  after
     occupying  the properties for approximately five years.   In
     March,   1993,   the  Partnership,  along  with   affiliated
     Partnerships which also own J.T. McCord's properties,  filed
     its  own plan of reorganization (the "Plan") with the Court.
     That  Plan  provided for an assignee of the Partnerships  (a
     replacement  tenant) to purchase the assets of Flagship  and
     operate  the restaurants with financial assistance from  the
     Partnerships.   This  Plan  was  expected   to   allow   the
     Partnerships  to  avoid  closing  these  properties,   allow
     operations  to  continue uninterrupted,  and  avoid  further
     costly litigation with Flagship and its creditors.  The Plan
     was  confirmed by the Court and the creditors April 16, 1993
     and became effective July 20, 1993.
     
     To  entice  the  assignee, WIM, Inc. (WIM)  to  operate  the
     restaurants  and  enter  into  the  Lease  Agreements,   the
     Partnership  provided funds to renovate the restaurants  and
     paid  for  operating expenses.  The Partnership's  share  of
     renovation  and  operating expenses during this  period  was
     $755,773  which was expensed in the fourth quarter of  1994.
     However,   WIM  was  not  able  to  operate  the  properties
     profitably  and  was  unable  to  make  rental  payments  as
     provided  in  the Lease Agreements.  To reduce expenses  and
     minimize  the losses produced by these properties, the  Waco
     restaurant was closed and listed for sale or lease  and  the
     Partnership  amended  the  agreements  for  the  Irving  and
     Mesquite locations to provide for WIM to make annual  rental
     payments  of  the  greater  of  $60,000  or  5.5%  of  sales
     beginning   October  1,  1994.   In  December,   1995,   the
     Partnership took possession of the properties after WIM  was
     unable  to  perform  under the terms  of  the  Leases.   The
     properties  are currently listed for sale or  lease.   While
     the  properties are being re-leased or sold, the Partnership
     is  responsible  for the real estate taxes and  other  costs
     required to maintain the properties.
     
     As  part  of  the  Plan, the Partnerships, which  own  these
     properties,  were responsible for an annual payment  to  the
     Creditors Trust of approximately $110,000 for the next  five
     years.   The  Partnership's share of the annual payment  was
     $69,702.   In  1994,  the Partnership expensed  $302,652  to
     record  this liability and administrative costs  related  to
     the bankruptcy.
     
     In  1995, the Partnership negotiated a settlement, with  the
     trustee,  for a lump sum payment of the minimum  amount  due
     over  the  remaining  term of the Plan for  release  of  the
     Partnership and WIM from any other financial obligations and
     reporting  requirements to the trustee.  The  settlement  of
     $215,442 was completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)
     
     In June 1995, the Partnership re-leased the Waco property to
     Tex-Mex  Cocina  of Waco, L.C.  The Lease  Agreement  has  a
     primary  term  of  eighteen months  with  an  annual  rental
     payment  of  $29,752.  The Partnership  could  also  receive
     additional  rent if gross receipts from the property  exceed
     certain  specified  amounts.   The  Lease  contains  renewal
     options  which  may extend the lease term an  additional  10
     years.  The property is now operated as a Zapata's Cantina &
     Cafe.
     
     In  March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant  in
     Columbia,  South Carolina, exercised an option in the  Lease
     Agreement  to purchase the property.  On July 28, 1995,  the
     sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds
     of  $990,453  which resulted in a net gain of $437,915.   At
     the   time   of  sale,  the  cost  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation  of  the  property was $723,823  and  $171,285,
     respectively.
     
     On  October 25, 1995, the Partnership sold two of the  Jiffy
     Lube  Auto  Care  Centers  to the lessee.   The  Partnership
     recognized net sale proceeds of $322,443 for the Jiffy  Lube
     in  Garland, Texas, which resulted in a net gain of $80,500.
     At  the  time  of  sale,  the cost and  related  accumulated
     depreciation  of  the  property was  $301,884  and  $59,941,
     respectively.  The Partnership recognized net sale  proceeds
     of  $161,218  for  the  Jiffy Lube in Dallas,  Texas,  which
     resulted in a net gain of $35,705.  At the time of sale, the
     cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property
     was $154,781 and $29,268.
     
     In  July  1995,  the  lessee of the Super  8  Motel  in  Hot
     Springs,   Arkansas,  exercised  an  option  in  the   Lease
     Agreement to purchase the property.  On March 29, 1996,  the
     sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds
     of  $665,691 which resulted in a net gain of $217,323.   The
     Partnership recognized $18,534 of this gain in 1995  due  to
     nonrefundable deposits received from the purchaser.  At  the
     time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of the property was $583,653 and $135,284, respectively.
     
     In  January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
     Indiana  was  destroyed  by  a fire.   The  Partnership  has
     reached   a  preliminary  agreement  with  the  tenant   and
     insurance company which calls for termination of the  Lease,
     demolition of the building and payment to the Partnership of
     $407,282 for the building and equipment and $49,688 for lost
     rent.   The property will not be rebuilt and the Partnership
     will  list  the land for sale.  The Partnership's  cost  and
     related   accumulated  depreciation  in  the  building   and
     equipment  at  March  31,  1996 was $496,967  and  $178,282,
     respectively.   The settlement resulted in  a  net  gain  of
     $88,207.  The Partnership's cost of the land is $253,747.
     
     In the first quarter of 1996 and the fourth quarter of 1995,
     the  Partnership distributed $210,000 and $79,774 of the net
     sale  proceeds  to  the Partners as part  of  their  regular
     quarterly  distributions and to pay for  the  redemption  of
     Partnership Units.  The distributions represented  a  return
     of capital of $14.89 and $5.65 per Limited Partnership Unit,
     respectively.   The majority of the remaining  net  proceeds
     will be reinvested in additional properties.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In November, 1995, the Partnership entered into an Agreement
     to  purchase  an  Applebee's restaurant in Victoria,  Texas.
     The  property was acquired on March 22, 1996 for $1,328,416.
     The property is leased to Renaissant Development Corporation
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual rental payments of approximately $151,000.
     
     The  Partnership  owns a 30.8078% interest  in  the  Sizzler
     restaurant  in  Cincinnati, Ohio.   In  January,  1994,  the
     Partnership closed the restaurant and listed it for sale  or
     lease.   While the property is being re-leased or sold,  the
     Partnership  is  responsible for the real estate  taxes  and
     other  costs required to maintain the properties.   No  rent
     was received in 1996 or 1995 from the property.

(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  The payable to AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.

(5)  Deferred Income -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska,  and
     assumed the lease obligations from the original lessee.   As
     part of the agreement, the Partnership amended the Leases to
     reduce  the base rent from $109,033 to $92,164 for  the  St.
     Louis  property  and  $167,699 to  $145,081  for  the  Omaha
     property.  The Partnership could receive additional rent  in
     the  future  if  10% of gross receipts from  the  properties
     exceed  the  base  rent.   In consideration  for  the  lease
     assumption  and amendment, the Partnership received  a  lump
     sum  payment from the original lessee of $299,723.  The lump
     sum  payment will be recognized as income over the remainder
     of  the  Lease  terms  which expire  January  31,  2008  and
     November  30, 2007, using the straight line method.   As  of
     March  31,  1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership  had
     recognized  $38,871 and $33,318 of this payment  as  income.
     At  March 31, 1996, the remaining deferred income of $10,127
     was  prepaid  rent  related  to  certain  other  Partnership
     properties.
     


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-term
lease  agreements on the Partnership's properties.  It  increased
in the first quarter of 1996 by $17,503 over the first quarter of
1995  due primarily to rental income received from the re-leasing
of the property in Waco, Texas, additional rent received from the
lessee  of  the  Matlock  Jem Care,  and  a  lump  sum  insurance
settlement  for  rent on the Cheddar's property in  Indianapolis,
Indiana due to a fire.  These increases were partially offset  by
no recognition of rent in 1996 on the J.T. McCord's properties in
Irving,  Texas and Mesquite, Texas.  Investment income  increased
by  $11,453 in the first quarter of 1996 over the same period  in
1995  due to proceeds from property sales made in 1995 which were
invested in interest earning instruments.

        The  Partnership acquired lease guarantee insurance  from
United  Guaranty  Commercial Insurance Company of  Iowa  for  the
Columbia  Applebee's, the Houston, Texas child care  center,  and
one  of  the  Arlington, Texas child care centers.  The  policies
insure  approximately 80% of the annual payments for  periods  of
ten  years  for the child care centers and a twelve month  period
(over  seven years) for the other properties.  The rent guarantee
begins  thirty  days after the occurrence of all  the  following:
(1)  the lessee is at least thirty days in default in the payment
of  rent; (2) the lessee has been removed from the property;  (3)
the  property has been listed for rent with a real estate  broker
and  "For Rent" signs have been posted on the property;  and  (4)
certain other minor conditions.  Once these conditions have  been
satisfied, the Partnership will receive lease insurance  payments
until either the property is re-leased or the policy expires.  On
May 5, 1995, the Applebee's policy expired.

       In May, 1990, Flagship, Inc. (Flagship), the lessee of the
J.T.   McCord's  properties,  filed  for  reorganization,   after
occupying the properties for approximately five years.  In March,
1993,  the Partnership, along with affiliated Partnerships  which
also  own  J.T.  McCord's  properties,  filed  its  own  plan  of
reorganization (the "Plan") with the Court.  That  Plan  provided
for  an  assignee of the Partnerships (a replacement  tenant)  to
purchase the assets of Flagship and operate the restaurants  with
financial  assistance  from  the  Partnerships.   This  Plan  was
expected  to  allow  the  Partnerships  to  avoid  closing  these
properties, allow operations to continue uninterrupted, and avoid
further  costly litigation with Flagship and its creditors.   The
Plan  was confirmed by the Court and the creditors April 16, 1993
and became effective July 20, 1993.

        To  entice WIM to operate the restaurants and enter  into
the  Lease Agreements, the Partnership provided funds to renovate
the   restaurants   and   paid  for  operating   expenses.    The
Partnership's  share of renovation and operating expenses  during
this  period  was  $755,773, which was  expensed  in  the  fourth
quarter  of  1994.   However, WIM was not  able  to  operate  the
properties  profitably and was unable to make rental payments  as
provided  in  the  Lease  Agreements.   To  reduce  expenses  and
minimize  the  losses  produced by  these  properties,  the  Waco
restaurant  was  closed  and listed for sale  or  lease  and  the
Partnership  amended the agreements for the Irving  and  Mesquite
locations  to provide for WIM to make annual rental  payments  of
the  greater  of  $60,000 or 5.5% of sales beginning  October  1,
1994.  In December, 1995, the Partnership took possession of  the
properties after WIM was unable to perform under the terms of the
Leases.   The properties are currently listed for sale or  lease.
While the properties are being re-leased or sold, the Partnership
is responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required
to maintain the properties.

        As  part  of the Plan, the Partnerships, which own  these
properties,  were  responsible  for  an  annual  payment  to  the
Creditors  Trust  of approximately $110,000  for  the  next  five
years.   The  Partnership's  share  of  the  annual  payment  was
$69,702.   In 1994, the Partnership expensed $302,652  to  record
this   liability   and  administrative  costs  related   to   the
bankruptcy.


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

       In 1995, the Partnership negotiated a settlement, with the
trustee,  for a lump sum payment of the minimum amount  due  over
the remaining term of the Plan for release of the Partnership and
WIM   from   any   other  financial  obligations  and   reporting
requirements  to  the trustee.  The settlement  of  $215,442  was
completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

        In June 1995, the Partnership re-leased the Waco property
to  Tex-Mex  Cocina  of  Waco, L.C.  The Lease  Agreement  has  a
primary term of eighteen months with an annual rental payment  of
$29,752.  The Partnership could also receive additional  rent  if
gross   receipts  from  the  property  exceed  certain  specified
amounts.  The Lease contains renewal options which may extend the
lease  term an additional 10 years.  The property is now operated
as a Zapata's Cantina & Cafe.

       In June, 1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
franchisor,   acquired   the  operations   of   the   Fuddruckers
restaurants  in  St.  Louis, Missouri and  Omaha,  Nebraska,  and
assumed the lease obligations from the original lessee.  As  part
of  the  agreement, the Partnership amended the Leases to  reduce
the base rent from $109,033 to $92,164 for the St. Louis property
and $167,699 to $145,081 for the Omaha property.  The Partnership
could  receive  additional rent in the future  if  10%  of  gross
receipts   from  the  properties  exceed  the  base   rent.    In
consideration  for  the  lease  assumption  and  amendment,   the
Partnership received a lump sum payment from the original  lessee
of  $299,723.  The lump sum payment will be recognized as  income
over  the  remainder of the Lease terms which expire January  31,
2008  and  November  30,  2007, using the straight  line  method.
Fuddruckers, Inc. is owned by DAKA International, which has a net
worth  in  excess of $64 million, making it a much higher  credit
lessee than the original lessee.

       In March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in
Columbia,  South  Carolina, exercised  an  option  in  the  Lease
Agreement to purchase the property.  On July 28, 1995,  the  sale
closed  with  the  Partnership receiving  net  sale  proceeds  of
$990,453  which resulted in a net gain of $437,915.  At the  time
of  sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation  of  the
property was $723,823 and $171,285, respectively.

        In  July  1995, the lessee of the Super 8  Motel  in  Hot
Springs, Arkansas, exercised an option in the Lease Agreement  to
purchase  the property.  On March 29, 1996, the sale closed  with
the  Partnership  receiving net sale proceeds of  $665,691  which
resulted  in a net gain of $217,323.  The Partnership  recognized
$18,534  of  this  gain  in  1995 due to  nonrefundable  deposits
received  from the purchaser.  At the time of sale, the cost  and
related accumulated depreciation of the property was $583,653 and
$135,284, respectively.

       On October 25, 1995, the Partnership sold two of the Jiffy
Lube Auto Care Centers to the lessee.  The Partnership recognized
net  sale  proceeds of $322,443 for the Jiffy  Lube  in  Garland,
Texas,  which resulted in a net gain of $80,500.  At the time  of
sale,  the  cost  and  related accumulated  depreciation  of  the
property was $301,884 and $59,941, respectively.  The Partnership
recognized  net sale proceeds of $161,218 for the Jiffy  Lube  in
Dallas, Texas, which resulted in a net gain of $35,705.   At  the
time  of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  of
the property was $154,781 and $29,268.

        In  November,  1995,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  to  purchase  an Applebee's  restaurant  in  Victoria,
Texas.   The  property  was  acquired  on  March  22,  1996   for
$1,328,416.   The  property is leased to  Renaissant  Development
Corporation  under a Lease Agreement with a primary  term  of  20
years and annual rental payments of approximately $151,000.


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

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The  Partnership
has reached a preliminary agreement with the tenant and insurance
company  which calls for termination of the Lease, demolition  of
the  building and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for  the
building  and equipment and $49,688 for lost rent.  The  property
will  not  be rebuilt and the Partnership will list the land  for
sale.    The   Partnership's   cost   and   related   accumulated
depreciation in the building and equipment at March31,  1996  was
$496,967 and $178,282, respectively.  The settlement resulted  in
a  net  gain of $88,207.  The Partnership's cost of the  land  is
$253,747.

        The  Partnership owns a 30.8078% interest in the  Sizzler
restaurant   in   Cincinnati,  Ohio.   In  January,   1994,   the
Partnership  closed  the restaurant and listed  it  for  sale  or
lease.   While  the  property is being  re-leased  or  sold,  the
Partnership  is responsible for the real estate taxes  and  other
costs  required to maintain the properties.  No rent was received
in 1996 or 1995 from the property.

        During  the  first  three months of 1996  and  1995,  the
Partnership  incurred  Partnership  administration  and  property
management expenses from unrelated parties of $43,411 and $5,346,
respectively.   The  increase in these  expenses  in  1996,  when
compared  to the same period in 1995, is due to costs related  to
the  vacant  J.T.  McCord's properties.  The  administration  and
property  management expenses represent direct payments to  third
parties  for legal and filing fees, direct administrative  costs,
outside  audit  and accounting costs, interest, taxes,  insurance
and   other   property  costs.   The  Partnership  administration
expenses  incurred from affiliates include costs associated  with
the  management  of  the  properties,  processing  distributions,
reporting   requirements  and  correspondence  to   the   Limited
Partners.

        In  the  first quarter of 1996 and the fourth quarter  of
1995, the Partnership distributed $210,000 and $79,774 of the net
sale proceeds, from the sales discussed above, to the Partners as
part of their regular quarterly distributions and to pay for  the
redemption of Partnership Units.  The distributions represented a
return  of  capital  of $14.89 and $5.65 per Limited  Partnership
Unit,  respectively.  The majority of the remaining net  proceeds
will be reinvested in additional properties.

        As  of March 31, 1996, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution  rate  was  5.6%,  based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the  Partnership  Agreement.  As a result, 99%  of  distributions
were  allocated  to  Limited  Partners  and  1%  to  the  General
Partners.

        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 total number  of  Units
outstanding  at  the  beginning of the  year  and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair  the
capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During 1995, twelve Limited Partners redeemed a total  of
118   Partnership  Units  for  $79,774  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using  proceeds  from  the  Applebee's sale,  which  reduced  the
Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contribution.  In prior years,
a total of sixty-five Limited Partners redeemed 774.3 Partnership
Units  for  $635,881.   The redemptions  increase  the  remaining
Limited Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.


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

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations. It is expected that increases in sales volumes of the
tenants,  due to inflation and real sales growth, will result  in
an  increase  in  rental  income over the  term  of  the  leases.
Inflation  also  may  cause  the  Partnership's  real  estate  to
appreciate in value.  However, inflation and changing prices  may
also  have  an  adverse impact on the operating  margins  of  the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay  rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.
