                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2

         This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 10, 2001 (the "Schedule TO") by Equity Resources Lexington Fund Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, Equity Resources Group, Inc.,
a Massachusetts corporation, and Eggert Dagbjartsson, an individual (together,
the "Purchaser") to purchase 12,000 units (the "Units") of limited partnership
interests in Capital Realty Investors III Limited Partnership, a Maryland
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at $100.00 for each Unit, net to the
seller in cash, without interest, less the amount of any distributions declared
or paid from any source by the Partnership with respect to the Units after May
11, 2001 (without regard to the record date), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in
the Agreement of Sale, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time
(which together constitute the "Offer"), and less the $100.00 transfer fee
charged by the general partner of the Partnership. The information contained in
the Offer to Purchase is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms
used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Offer to Purchase.

         ITEMS 1 AND 8

         Items 1 and 8 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the
information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended as follows:

         ITEM 1--SUMMARY TERM SHEET

         The second paragraph of the fifteenth question of the Summary Term
Sheet is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "The Purchaser and its affiliates have purchased 953 Units in
                  the Partnership during the past twelve months at a price of
                  $40.00 per Unit. In addition, the Purchaser has entered into
                  binding and unconditional agreements prior to the public
                  announcement of the offer to purchase an aggregate of 45 units
                  in the Partnership at a purchase price of $60.00 per unit."
                  See "THE OFFER--Price Range of Units and Distributions."

         ITEM 8--INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY

         The second paragraph of Section 7A--"Price Range of Units and
Distributions" is amended in its entirety as follows:

                  "The Purchaser and its affiliates have purchased 953 Units in
                  the Partnership during the past twelve months at a price of
                  $40.00 per Unit. In addition, on April 20, 2001, prior to the
                  public announcement of the Offer, the Purchaser entered into a
                  binding and unconditional agreement to purchase from Loren D.
                  and Barbara C. Smith, Limited Partners, an aggregate of 10
                  Units at a purchase price of $60.00 per Unit. On April 23,
                  2001, prior to the public announcement of the Offer, the
                  Purchaser entered into a binding and unconditional agreement
                  to purchase from Merrill E. and Effie W. Parker, Limited
                  Partners, an aggregate of 10 Units at a purchase price of
                  $60.00 per unit. On May 3, 2001, prior to the public
                  announcement of the Offer, the Purchaser entered into a
                  binding and unconditional agreement to purchase from Ann
                  McQuade, a Limited Partner, 25 Units at a purchase price of
                  $60.00 per unit. These transactions were privately negotiated
                  purchases and sales. All of these transactions are currently
                  pending. Finally, notwithstanding the proposed $60.00 purchase
                  price agreed to by these Limited Partners and the Purchaser,
                  the Purchaser has agreed to pay these Limited Partners the
                  same price as the Offer Price, or $100.00 per unit."
