definitive Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, jointly

the meaning assigned to such term in the Transaction Statement or in the
Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A of the Partnership filed by the
Partnership with the SEC on December 14, 1999 (the "Proxy Statement").

        This Final Amendment is being filed with the SEC pursuant to the
requirements of Rule 13e-3(d)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, to
reflect the results of the transactions contemplated by the Master
Agreement with respect to the Partnership. Except as expressly set forth in
this Final Amendment, all information in the Transaction Statement remains
unchanged.

ITEM 6.  SOURCE AND AMOUNTS OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following
information:

               On January 31, 2000, a subsidiary of the Purchaser entered
        into a loan agreement (the "Commercial Loan Agreement") with
        General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") pursuant to which
        GECC has agreed to lend to such subsidiary up to an aggregate
        amount of approximately $109,185,728 to partially finance the
        acquisition of the McNeil Partnerships and to provide a working
        capital and leasing facility with respect to certain commercial
        properties owned by the McNeil Partnerships. The foregoing
        description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
        Commercial Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)
        hereto and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

               On January 31, 2000, subsidiaries of the Purchaser entered
        into a loan agreement, made as of January 1, 2000 (the "Multifamily
        Loan Agreement") with Amresco Capital, L.P. ("Amresco") pursuant to
        which Amresco has agreed to lend to such subsidiaries up to an
        aggregate amount of approximately $195,783,261 to partially finance
        the acquisition of the McNeil Partnerships. The foregoing
        description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
        Multifamily Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit (a)(2)
        hereto and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

ITEM 16.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

        Item 16 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following
information.

               The transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement,
        including the merger of a separate newly formed subsidiary of the
        Purchaser with and into the Partnership (the "Merger"), were approved by
        the limited partners of the Partnership on January 21, 2000. Such
        transactions were consummated with respect to the Partnership on
        February 15, 2000, and the Merger became effective on such date upon
        the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
        State of California. As a result of the Merger, each limited partner
        unit in the Partnership has been converted into the right to receive
        $0.26 in cash. In addition, a special cash distribution of approximately
        $0.0212 per unit was declared as of February 15, 2000, payable to
        limited partners holding limited partner units immediately prior to the
        effective time of the Merger. As a result of and following the Merger,
        all the issued and outstanding limited partner units in the Partnership
        are directly or indirectly beneficially owned by the Purchaser.
        Accordingly, the Partnership has filed a Certification and Notice of
        Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the SEC.
