Item 1.   Change in Control of Registrant

          On August 17, 1995, Insignia Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Insignia"), IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("IFGP"), Insignia NPI L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Insignia LLC"), Riverside Drive L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company ("Riverside") and certain other affiliates (collectively, the
"Buyer") entered into a certain Partnership Units Purchase Agreement,
the NPI Inc. Stock Purchase Agreement and certain related agreements
(the "Purchase Agreements") with National Property Investors, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("NPI Inc."), DeForest Ventures I L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Ventures I"), DeForest Ventures II L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Ventures II"), QAL Associates, a Georgia
general partnership ("QAL"), QALA II Associates, a Georgia general
partnership ("QALA II"), and certain affiliates (collectively, "NPI"). 
The Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements
occurred on January 19 and 22, 1996 (the "Closing").  At the Closing,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements, the
Buyer acquired (a) all of the units of limited partnership interest in
14 public real estate limited partnerships held by NPI (the "public
partnerships"), including the Registrant, (b) all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of NPI Inc., which in turn controls, directly
or indirectly, the general partner of the public partnerships, including
the Registrant, and (c) all of the common stock and the general and
limited partnership interests of two affiliates of NPI which provide
real estate management services.  The aggregate purchase price payable
at the Closing was approximately $116,000,000, subject to certain
purchase price adjustments as provided for in the Purchase Agreements,
including a reduction for payments by Buyer of any amounts borrowed by
Ventures I and Ventures II from PaineWebber Real Estate Securities, Inc.
("PaineWebber"), which remained unpaid on the date of the Closing.  In
connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreements, an affiliate
of Insignia entered into a participation agreement with PaineWebber
pursuant to which it agreed to purchase from PaineWebber a subordinated
participation in the senior financing provided by PaineWebber to
Ventures I and Ventures II for an aggregate purchase price equal to
$16,239,296.

          Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreements, IFGP acquired 100% of the common stock of NPI Inc. for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 from Michael L. Ashner, Martin
Lifton, Arthur N. Queler and certain of their respective family members
and AP-NPI II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.  NPI Inc. owns all
of the outstanding common stock of NPI Equity Investments II, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("NPI Equity"), which controls Fox Realty Investors
("FRI"), a California general partnership, and Fox Capital Management
Corporation, a California corporation ("FCMC").  FRI and FCMC are the
general partners of the Registrant.  Upon the Closing, the officers and
directors of NPI Inc., NPI Equity and FCMC resigned and Insignia caused
new officers and directors of each of those entities to be elected.

          Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreements, Riverside purchased from Ventures I, QAL and QALA II
26,615.0543 units of limited partnership interest of the Registrant,
constituting approximately 41.11 % of the units outstanding, for an
aggregate purchase price of $6,204,700.

          The funds used in making the purchase were drawn under a
revolving credit facility established by a syndicate of lenders for the
benefit of Insignia, with First Union National Bank of South Carolina as
Administrative Agent and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. as Syndication
Agent and from a short term loan from Northfork Bank.
