Part I, Item 2 .  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents
of $1,502,094, which were invested in unaffiliated money market
funds, relatively unchanged from the balance at December 31, 1995.
The Partnership also maintains a restricted cash balance,
which totaled $388,935 at June 30, 1996, representing escrows for
insurance, real estate taxes, and property replacements and
repairs, required under the terms of the current mortgage loans.
Pursuant to the terms of the loans, as costs are incurred for
property improvements or when real estate taxes and insurance are
due, reimbursements are made from the escrow accounts maintained
by the lender to the Partnership.  The Partnership expects
sufficient cash to be generated from operations to meet its
current operating expenses and debt service requirements.

The General Partners continue to perform various improvements at
the properties.  These improvements include landscaping work at
Tierra Catalina and roof repairs at Las Colinas as well as
interior repairs at both properties.  The improvements are
currently underway and are expected to be finished by the end of
the year.

The General Partners declared a cash distribution of $2.00 per
Unit for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 which will be paid to
investors on or about August 15, 1996.  The level of future
distributions will be evaluated on a quarterly basis and will
depend on the Partnership's operating results and future cash
needs.

Given favorable market conditions in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area the
General Partners have engaged a commercial real estate broker to
market Ridge Park for sale.  There can be no assurances that a
sale will be completed or that any particular price for the
property will be obtained.  In the event that a sale is not
consummated, the Partnership will continue to hold the property
as an investment.

Results of Operations
Partnership operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996, resulted in net losses of $7,352 and $64,497,
respectively, compared with net losses of $108,397 and $121,602,
respectively, for the same periods in 1995.  The decrease in net
loss is due primarily to a decrease in property operating
expenses, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization
expense, partially offset by a decrease in rental income
resulting from the sale of Kingston Village and Cedar Bay Village
in July 1995.  Net cash provided by operating activities was
$411,702 for the six months ended June 30,1996, compared to
$626,496, for the same period in 1995.  The decreases in net cash
provided by operating activities from the 1995 to 1996 period is
primarily due to the decrease in the release of restricted cash
to property operations, and the sale of Kingston Village and
Cedar Bay Village.

Rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
was $921,287 and $1,842,392, respectively, compared with
$1,203,702 and $2,432,492 for the same periods in 1995.  The
decreases reflect the sale of Kingston Village and Cedar Bay
Village and a decline in occupancy at Tierra Catalina, partially
offset by increases in rental income at Las Colinas and Ridge
Park as a result of increased rental rates.

Property operating expenses were lower for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995
due to the July 1995 sale of Kingston Village and Cedar Bay
Village.  The decreases for each period were partially offset by
increases in repairs and maintenance expenses at Las Colinas
primarily due to asphalt repairs.  Interest expense and
depreciation and amortization also declined primarily due to the
sale of the two properties.  During the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, average occupancy levels at each of the properties
were as follows:


          Property                  1996      1995
          Las Colinas I & II         96%       93%
          Ridge Park                 95%       96%
          Tierra Catalina            89%       93%
