                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

(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  1995,  the  Partnership elected early  adoption  of  the
     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.   121,
     "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
     Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  This standard requires the
     Partnership to compare the carrying amount of its properties
     to  the estimated future cash flows expected to result  from
     the  property and its eventual disposition.  If the  sum  of
     the  expected  future cash flows is less than  the  carrying
     amount   of   the  property,  the  Statement  requires   the
     Partnership to recognize an impairment loss by the amount by
     which  the carrying amount of the property exceeds the  fair
     value  of the property.  Adoption of this Statement  is  not
     expected  to  have  a material effect on  the  Partnership's
     financial statements.
     
     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.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (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 two years 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  July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     sell  the  J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an  unrelated
     third   party.   In  September,  1996,  the  Agreement   was
     terminated by the purchaser.
     
     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  $665,692 which resulted in a net gain of $215,017.   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.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In  January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
     Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The Partnership reached an
     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 listed the land  for  sale.
     The  Partnership  recognized  net  disposition  proceeds  of
     $406,892  which resulted in a net gain of $88,207.   At  the
     time  of  disposition,  the  cost  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation  was $496,967 and $178,282, respectively.   The
     Partnership's cost of the land is $253,747.
     
     During the first nine months of 1996 and the year 1995,  the
     Partnership  distributed $602,376 and $730,214  of  the  net
     sale proceeds to the Limited and General 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 $42.28 and  $50.98  per
     Limited Partnership Unit, respectively.  The majority of the
     remaining  net  proceeds  will be reinvested  in  additional
     properties.
     
     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 $1,335,555.
     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.
     
     In  August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an  agreement
     to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia.  The
     purchase  price  will  be  approximately  $1,231,000.    The
     property  will  be  leased to Caribou Coffee  Company,  Inc.
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 18 years  and
     annual  rental  payments  of  approximately  $141,500.   The
     Partnership has incurred net costs of $12,948 related to the
     acquisition   of   the  property.   The  costs   have   been
     capitalized  and  will be allocated to  land,  building  and
     equipment.
     
     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

     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
     September  30,  1996 and December 31, 1995, the  Partnership
     had  recognized  $49,977  and $33,318  of  this  payment  as
     income.   At  September  30, 1996,  the  remaining  deferred
     income of $12,607 was prepaid rent related to certain  other
     Partnership properties.
     

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $738,838  and  $817,262,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $59,052 and $48,876, respectively.  In 1996,
rental  income  decreased  as  a result  of  the  property  sales
discussed below and no rental income was recognized for the  J.T.
McCord's  properties in Irving and Mesquite, Texas.  The decrease
in  rental income was partially offset by rental income  received
from  re-leasing  the  property in  Waco,  Texas,  rental  income
received  from the Applebee's in Victoria, Texas, rent  increases
on five properties and additional investment income earned on the
net proceeds from property sales.

       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.


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

        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.

       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  two  years 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  July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  sell  the  J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to  an  unrelated
third party.  In September, 1996, the Agreement was terminated by
the purchaser.

        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.

       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 $82 million at June 29, 1996, making it a much
higher credit lessee than the original lessee.

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

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
the  Partnership  paid  partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated parties of $157,633 and $172,654, 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 $113,049 and $40,213, 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
and  Sizzler property.  In addition, the 1995 amount was  reduced
by  $17,319  of  insurance  proceeds  received  as  a  result  of
vandalism to the Sizzler restaurant.

        As  of  September 30, 1996, the Partnership's  annualized
cash  distribution rate was 6.44%, 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.

        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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  nine months ended September  30,  1996,  the
Partnership's  cash  balances  decreased  $421,631.    Net   cash
provided by operating activities decreased from $539,114 in  1995
to  $505,281  in 1996 as a result of a decrease in rental  income
and  an increase in expenses in 1996.  The decrease was partially
offset  by  net timing differences in the collection of  payments
from the lessees and the payment of expenses by the Partnership.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from the sale of real estate.  In the nine months ended September
30,  1996, the Partnership generated cash flow from the  sale  of
real  estate, as discussed below, of $1,051,744.  During the same
period,  the  Partnership expended $1,333,690 to invest  in  real
properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership
reinvested the cash generated from the property sales.

       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.


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

        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  $665,692  which
resulted  in a net gain of $215,017.  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
reached an 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 listed the  land  for  sale.   The
Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of $406,892 which
resulted  in  a net gain of $88,207.  At the time of disposition,
the  cost  and related accumulated depreciation was $496,967  and
$178,282,  respectively.  The Partnership's cost of the  land  is
$253,747.

        During  the first nine months of 1996 and the year  1995,
the Partnership distributed $602,376 and $730,214 of the net sale
proceeds  to  the Limited and General 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  $42.28  and  $50.98 per  Limited  Partnership  Unit,
respectively.  The majority of the remaining net proceeds will be
reinvested in additional properties.

        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
$1,335,555.   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.

       In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  purchase  a  Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta,  Georgia.   The
purchase  price will be approximately $1,231,000.   The  property
will  be  leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc.  under  a  Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 18 years  and  annual  rental
payments of approximately $141,500.  The Partnership has incurred
net  costs of $12,948 related to the acquisition of the property.
The  costs have been capitalized and will be allocated  to  land,
building and equipment.

       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.   The  redemption payments generally are funded  with  cash
that  would  normally  be paid as part of the  regular  quarterly
distributions.    As   a   result,   total   distributions    and
distributions payable have fluctuated from year to  year  due  to
cash  used  to  fund redemption payments.  Effective  October  1,
1995, the Partnership's distribution rate was reduced from 7%  to
6%.   As a result, distributions during the first nine months  of
1995 were higher when compared to the same period in 1996.


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 total 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.

        On October 1, 1996, thirteen Limited Partners redeemed  a
total of 113 Partnership Units for $69,640 in accordance with the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
seventy-seven  Limited Partners redeemed 892.3 Partnership  Units
for  $715,655.   The  redemptions increase the remaining  Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.

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