Exhibit 1

                                      AIMCO

                             AIMCO Properties, L.P.

              is offering to purchase limited partnership units in

                 CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL INSTITUTIONAL PROPERTIES/3

                           FOR $39.00 PER UNIT IN CASH

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, we will accept
units validly tendered in response to our offer. Your partnership's agreement of
limited partnership prohibits the transfer of units that would cause 50% or more
of the total interest in capital and profits of your partnership to be
transferred within a 12-month period, when taken together with all other
transfers during such 12-month period. If units are validly tendered and not
withdrawn that would cause such a transfer, we will accept for payment and pay
for those units so tendered pro rata according to the number of units so
tendered, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional units.
See "The Offer -- Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units."

In addition, if units are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to
the expiration date and the purchase of all such units would result in there
being fewer than 320 unitholders, we will purchase only 99% of the total number
of units so tendered by each limited partner. See "The Offer -- Section 7.
Effects of the Offer".

Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at midnight, New York City
time, on June 6, 2002, unless we extend the deadline.

You will not pay any partnership transfer fees if you tender your units. You
will pay any other fees and costs, including any transfer taxes.

Our offer price will be reduced by the amount of any distributions subsequently
made by your partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.

         SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 4 OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR A
DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH OUR
OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

- -        We determined the offer price of $39.00 per unit without any
         arms-length negotiations. Accordingly, our offer price may not reflect
         the fair market value of your units.

- -        As described in more detail herein, certain legal actions have been
         filed alleging, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty by your
         partnership's general partner and certain of its affiliates. Although
         we cannot predict the outcome of these actions, including the nature,
         if any, of any final relief or settlement, a limited partner who
         tenders his units in the offer may not be able to participate in or
         benefit from any such later relief or settlement. Limited partners will
         be expected to assign any claims they have to the purchaser as a
         condition of tendering their units. There can be no assurance that a
         limited partner would not realize greater value for his units by
         holding on to his units at this time and waiting for any such relief or
         settlement in the future. We advise you to consult legal counsel if you
         have any questions. See "The Offer - Section 13. Certain Information
         Concerning Your Partnership."

                           (Continued from prior page)

- -        Your partnership's general partner and the residential property manager
         are subsidiaries of ours, and the general partner therefore has
         substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer.

- -        We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and, therefore,
         there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low
         price and your desire to sell your units at a high price.

- -        Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates
         continuing to receive management fees from your partnership. Such fees
         would not be payable if your partnership were liquidated.

- -        It is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price.

- -        For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future
         distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a
         sale or refinancing of property owned by your partnership.

- -        The general partner makes no recommendation as to whether you should
         tender your units.

- -        We and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units of your
         partnership. As a result, we and our affiliates control most voting
         decisions with respect to your partnership, including but not limited
         to the removal of the general partner, most amendments to the
         partnership agreement, and the sale of all or substantially all of your
         partnership's assets.

Effects of the Offer".

Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at midnight, New York City

                               SUMMARY TERM SHEET

         This summary term sheet highlights the most material information
regarding our offer, but it does not describe all of the details thereof. We
urge you to read this entire offer to purchase, which contains the full details
of our offer. We have also included in the summary term sheet references to the
sections of this offer to purchase where a more complete discussion may be
found.

- -        THE OFFER. Subject to the terms hereof, we are offering to acquire
         limited partnership units of Consolidated Capital Institutional
         Properties/3, your partnership, for $39.00 per unit in cash. See "The
         Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration",
         "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer" and "The Offer --
         Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer -- Determination of
         Offer Price."

- -        FACTORS IN DETERMINING THE OFFER PRICE. In determining the offer price
         per unit we principally considered:

         -        The per unit liquidation value of your partnership, which we
                  calculated to be $39.00, based on the pro forma operating
                  results of your partnership for the quarter ended March 31,
                  2002, as capitalized using the direct capitalization method
                  and using a capitalization rate of 9.66% with respect to Cedar
                  Rim Apartments, 10.80% with respect to Lake Villa (Hidden
                  Cove) Apartments, 9.89% with respect to Lamplighter Park,
                  11.84% with respect to Park Capital, 11.51% with respect to
                  Sandpiper, 11.52% with respect to Tamarac Village Apartments,
                  and 11.58% with respect to Williamsburg Manor Apartments.

         -        Prices at which units have recently sold to the extent such
                  information is available to us.

         -        The absence of a trading market for the units. See "The Offer
                  -- Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer --
                  Comparison of Offer Price to Alternative Consideration."

- -        PRORATIONS. If more units than can be purchased under the partnership
         agreement are tendered and not withdrawn, we will accept for payment
         and pay for those units so tendered, which do not violate the terms of
         your partnership agreement, pro rata according to the number of units
         so tendered, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of
         fractional units. See "The Offer -- Section 2. Acceptance for Payment
         and Payment for Units." In addition, if the purchase of all validly
         tendered units would result in there being fewer than 320 holders of
         units, we will purchase only 99% of the total number of units so
         tendered by each holder. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the
         Offer; Expiration Date; Proration" and "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects
         of the Offer."

- -        EXPIRATION DATE. Our offer expires on June 6, 2002, unless extended,
         and you can tender your units until our offer expires. See "The Offer
         -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration."

- -        RIGHT TO EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE. We can extend the offer in our
         sole discretion, and we will either issue a press release or send you a
         notice of any such extension. See "The Offer -- Section 5. Extension of
         Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period."

- -        HOW TO TENDER. To tender your units, complete the accompanying
         acknowledgment and agreement and send it, along with any other
         documents required by the letter of transmittal which is attached to
         this offer to purchase as Annex II, to the Information Agent, River
         Oaks Partnership Services, Inc., at one of the addresses set forth on
         the back of this offer to purchase. See "The Offer -- Section 3.
         Procedure for Tendering Units."

- -        WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. You can withdraw your units at any time prior to the
         expiration of the offer, including any extensions. In addition, you can
         withdraw your units at any time on or after July 8, 2002 if


                                      -1-

         we have not already accepted units for purchase and payment. See "The
         Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights."

- -        HOW TO WITHDRAW. To withdraw your units, you need to send a notice of
         withdrawal to the Information Agent, identifying yourself and the units
         to be withdrawn. See "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights."

- -        TAX CONSEQUENCES. Your sale of units in this offer will be a taxable
         transaction for federal income tax purposes. The consequences to each
         limited partner may vary and you should consult your tax advisor on the
         precise tax consequences to you. See "The Offer - - Section 6. Certain
         Federal Income Tax Matters."

- -        AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. We currently have the necessary cash and a line
         of credit to consummate the offers. See "The Offer -- Section 15.
         Source of Funds."

- -        CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER. There are a number of conditions of our offer,
         including our having adequate cash and borrowings under a line of
         credit, the absence of competing tender offers, the absence of certain
         changes in your partnership, and the absence of certain changes in the
         financial markets. See "The Offer -- Section 17. Conditions of the
         Offer."

- -        REMAINING AS A LIMITED PARTNER. If you do not tender your units, you
         will continue to remain a limited partner in your partnership. We have
         no plans to alter the operations, business or financial position of
         your partnership or to take your partnership private. See "The Offer -
         - Section 7. Effects of the Offer."

- -        WHO WE ARE. We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., the main operating
         partnership of Apartment Investment and Management Company, a New York
         Stock Exchange listed company. See "The Offer -- Section 8. Information
         Concerning Us and Certain of our Affiliates."

- -        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Our subsidiary receives fees for managing your
         partnership's residential property and the general partner of your
         partnership (which is also our subsidiary) is entitled to receive asset
         management fees and reimbursement of certain expenses involving your
         partnership and its property. As a result, a conflict of interest
         exists between continuing the partnership and receiving these fees, and
         the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of these fees.
         See "The Offer -- Section 11. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions
         with Affiliates" and "The Offer -- Section 13. Certain Information
         concerning your Partnership."

- -        CERTAIN LEGAL ACTIONS AFFECTING YOUR PARTNERSHIP. As described in more
         detail herein, certain legal actions have been filed alleging, among
         other things, breaches of fiduciary duty by your partnership's general
         partner and certain of its affiliates. Although we cannot predict the
         outcome of these actions, including the nature, if any, of any final
         relief or settlement, a limited partner who tenders his units in the
         offer may not be able to participate in or benefit from any such later
         relief or settlement. Limited partners will be expected to assign any
         claims they have to the purchaser as a condition of tendering their
         units. There can be no assurance that a limited partner would not
         realize greater value for his units by holding on to his units at this
         time and waiting for any such relief or settlement in the future. We
         advise you to consult legal counsel if you have any questions. See "The
         Offer - Section 13. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership."

- -        NO GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDATION. The general partner of your
         partnership makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or
         refrain from tendering your units, and each limited partner should make
         his or her own decision whether or not to tender. See "The Offer --
         Section 10. Position of the General Partner of your Partnership with
         respect to the Offer."


                                      -2-

- -        NO SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD. We do not intend to have a subsequent
         offering period after the expiration date of the initial offering
         period (including any extensions). See "The Offer -- Section 5.
         Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent
         Offering Period."

- -        ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. For more assistance in tendering your units,
         please contact our Information Agent at one of the addresses or the
         telephone number set forth on the back cover page of this offer to
         purchase.


                                      -3-

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Before deciding whether or not to tender any of your units, you should
consider carefully the following risks and disadvantages of the offer:

IF YOU TENDER ALL OF YOUR UNITS, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FINAL
LITIGATION RELIEF OR SETTLEMENT.

         Certain legal actions have been filed alleging, among other things,
breaches of fiduciary duty by your partnership's general partner and certain of
its affiliates. Although we cannot predict the precise outcome of these actions
or the precise nature of any final relief or settlement with respect to these
actions, a limited partner who tenders his units in the offer may not
participate in or benefit from such relief or any settlement. There can be no
assurance that a limited partner would not realize greater value for his units
by not tendering his units in our offer, and participating in any such relief or
settlement.

WE DID NOT OBTAIN A THIRD-PARTY VALUATION OR APPRAISAL AND DID NOT DETERMINE OUR
OFFER PRICE THROUGH ARMS-LENGTH NEGOTIATION.

         We did not base our valuation of the property owned by your partnership
on any third-party appraisal or valuation. We established the terms of our offer
without any arms-length negotiation. The terms of the offer could differ if they
were subject to independent third-party negotiations. It is uncertain whether
our offer price reflects the value that would be realized upon a sale of your
units to a third party.

OUR OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT FAIR MARKET VALUE.

         There is no established or regular trading market for your units, nor
is there another reliable standard for determining the fair market value of the
units. Our offer price does not necessarily reflect the price that you would
receive in an open market for your units. Such prices could be higher than our
offer price.

OUR OFFER PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT FUTURE PROSPECTS.

         Our offer price is based on your partnership's pro forma property
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. It does not ascribe any value to
potential future improvements in the operating performance of your partnership's
residential property.

OUR OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT LIQUIDATION VALUE.

         The actual proceeds obtained from liquidation are highly uncertain and
could be more than our estimate. Accordingly, our offer price could be less than
the net proceeds that you would realize upon an actual liquidation of your
partnership.

CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; NO TIME FRAME REGARDING SALE OF PROPERTY.

         Your general partner, which is our subsidiary, is proposing to continue
to operate your partnership and not to attempt to liquidate it at the present
time. Your partnership's prospectus, dated July 25, 1986, pursuant to which
units in your partnership were sold, indicated that your partnership was
intended to be self-liquidating and that it was anticipated that the
partnership's properties would be sold within a period of less than twelve years
of their acquisition, provided market conditions permit. The prospectus also
indicated that there could be no assurance that the partnership would be able to
so liquidate and that, unless sooner terminated as provided in the partnership
agreement, the existence of the partnership would continue until the year 2015.
It is not known when the property owned by your partnership may be sold. The
market for units in the partnership is illiquid, and it may be difficult to sell
your investment in the partnership in the future. The general partner of your
partnership continually considers whether a property should be sold or otherwise
disposed of after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing
economic conditions, availability of favorable financing and tax considerations,
with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation for your partnership. At
the current time, the general partner of your partnership believes that a sale
of the property would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition
of the property


                                      -4-

and tax considerations. In particular, the general partner considered the
changes in the local rental market, the potential for appreciation in the value
of a property and the tax consequences to you on a sale of property. We cannot
predict when your partnership's property will be sold or otherwise disposed of.

HOLDING YOUR UNITS MAY RESULT IN GREATER FUTURE VALUE.

         Although a liquidation of your partnership is not currently
contemplated in the near future, you might receive more value if you retain your
units until your partnership is liquidated.

YOUR GENERAL PARTNER FACES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER.

         The general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, and
therefore has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. We
are making this offer with a view to making a profit. There is a conflict
between our desire to purchase your units at a low price and your desire to sell
your units at a high price. We determined our offer price without negotiation
with any other party, including any general or limited partner.

YOUR GENERAL PARTNER IS NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS OFFER.

         The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to
whether or not you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. You must
make your own decision whether or not to participate in the offer based upon a
number of factors, including several factors that may be personal to you, such
as your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, your preferences
regarding the timing of when you might wish to sell your units, other financial
opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax consequences
to you of selling your units.

YOUR GENERAL PARTNER FACES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RELATING TO MANAGEMENT FEES.

         Because we or our subsidiaries receive fees for managing your
partnership and its residential property, a conflict of interest exists between
continuing the partnership and receiving such fees, and the liquidation of the
partnership and the termination of such fees. Also, a decision of the limited
partners of your partnership to remove, for any reason, the general partner of
your partnership or the residential property manager of the property owned by
your partnership would result in a decrease or elimination of the substantial
fees to which they are entitled for services provided to your partnership.

WE MAY MAKE A FUTURE OFFER AT A HIGHER PRICE.

         It is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price.
Such a decision will depend on, among other things, the performance of the
partnership, prevailing economic conditions, and our interest in acquiring
additional units.

YOU WILL RECOGNIZE TAXABLE GAIN ON A SALE OF YOUR UNITS.

         Your sale of units for cash will be a taxable sale, with the result
that you will recognize taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between
the amount realized on the sale and your adjusted tax basis in the units of
limited partnership interest of your partnership you transfer to us. The "amount
realized" with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest you transfer to
us will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit
sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable
to the unit. The particular tax consequences for you of our offer will depend
upon a number of factors related to your tax situation, including your tax basis
in the units you transfer to us, whether you dispose of all of your units, and
whether you have available suspended passive losses, credits or other tax items
to offset any gain recognized as a result of your sale of your units. Therefore,
depending on your basis in the units and your tax position, your taxable gain
and any tax liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer
could exceed our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering
units will not be the same for everyone, you should consult your own tax advisor
to determine the tax consequences of the offer to you.


                                      -5-

IF YOU TENDER UNITS TO US IN THIS OFFER, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

         If you tender your units in response to our offer, you will transfer to
us all right, title and interest in and to all of the units we accept, and the
right to receive all distributions in respect of such units on and after the
date on which we accept such units for purchase. Accordingly, for any units that
we acquire from you, you will not receive any future distributions from
operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale or refinancing of the
property owned by your partnership.

WE CONTROL YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

         Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership
are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of
your partnership is our subsidiary, we control the management of your
partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited
partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain
extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, most
amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale of all or substantially all
of your partnership's assets. We and our affiliates own 198,421.48, or 51.28%,
of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own
a majority of the outstanding units, we have the ability to control most votes
of the limited partners.

YOU COULD RECOGNIZE GAIN IN THE EVENT OF A REDUCTION IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP'S
LIABILITIES.

         Generally, a decrease in your share of partnership liabilities is
treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a deemed cash distribution.
Although the general partner of your partnership does not have any current plan
or intention to reduce the liabilities of your partnership, it is possible that
future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the
general partner to reduce the liabilities of your partnership. If you retain all
or a portion of your units and the liabilities of your partnership were to be
reduced, you would be treated as receiving a hypothetical distribution of cash
resulting from a decrease in your share of the liabilities of the partnership.
Any such hypothetical distribution of cash would be treated as a nontaxable
return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in your units and
thereafter as gain. Gain recognized by you on the disposition of retained units
with a holding period of 12 months or less may be classified as short-term
capital gain and subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.

YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR UNITS FOR A 12-MONTH PERIOD.

         Your partnership's agreement of limited partnership prohibits any
transfer of an interest if such transfer, together with all other transfers
during the preceding 12 months, would cause 50% or more of the total interest in
capital and profits of your partnership to be transferred within such 12-month
period. If we acquire a significant percentage of the interest in your
partnership, you may not be able to transfer your units for a 12-month period
following our offer.

WE MAY DELAY OUR ACCEPTANCE OF, AND PAYMENT FOR, YOUR UNITS.

         We reserve the right to extend the period of time during which our
offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of any tendered units.
The offer may be extended indefinitely, and no payment will be made in respect
of tendered units until the expiration of the offer and acceptance of units for
payment.

YOUR PARTNERSHIP HAS SIGNIFICANT BALLOON PAYMENTS ON ITS MORTGAGE DEBT.

         Your partnership has balloon payments of approximately $10,825,000 due
on its mortgage debt in December 2005. Your partnership will have to refinance
such debt, sell assets or otherwise obtain additional funds prior to the balloon
payment due date, or it will be in default and could lose the property to
foreclosure.


                                      -6-

                                    THE OFFER

1.       TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE; PRORATION

         Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will
accept (and thereby purchase) units that are validly tendered on or prior to the
expiration date and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in
"The Offer - - Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." For purposes of the offer, the
term "expiration date" shall mean midnight, New York City time, on June 6, 2002,
unless we in our sole discretion shall have extended the period of time for
which the offer is open, in which event the term "expiration date" shall mean
the latest time and date on which the offer, as extended by us, shall expire.
See "The Offer - - Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination;
Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period," for a description of our right to
extend the period of time during which the offer is open and to amend or
terminate the offer.

         The purchase price per unit will automatically be reduced by the
aggregate amount of distributions per unit, if any, made by your partnership on
or after the commencement of our offer and prior to the date on which we acquire
your units pursuant to our offer. If the offer price is reduced in this manner,
we will notify you and, if necessary, we will extend the offer period so that
you will have at least ten business days from the date of our notice to withdraw
your units.

         If, prior to the expiration date, we increase the consideration offered
pursuant to the offer, the increased consideration will be paid for all units
accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, whether or not the units were
tendered prior to the increase in consideration.

         If more units than can be purchased under your partnership agreement
are tendered and not withdrawn, we will accept for payment and pay for those
units so tendered, which do not violate the terms of your partnership agreement,
pro rata according to the number of units so tendered, with appropriate
adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional units. See "The Offer - Section 2.
Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units."

         If units are validly tendered prior to the expiration date and not
properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date in accordance with the
procedures set forth in "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights" and the
purchase of all such units would result in (i) a "Rule 13e-3 transaction" within
the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or (ii)
there being fewer than 320 unitholders, we will purchase only 99% of the total
number of units so tendered by each limited partner (subject to any necessary
adjustment for fractional units). If we are going to purchase only 99% of the
units validly tendered, we will notify you of such fact. In such case, you would
continue to be a limited partner and receive a K-1 for tax reporting purposes.
See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer -- Effect on Trading Market;
Registration Under 12(g) of the Exchange Act."

         The offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. THE
OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING TENDERED. See
"The Offer -- Section 17. Conditions of the Offer," which sets forth in full the
conditions of the offer. We reserve the right (but in no event shall we be
obligated), in our reasonable discretion, to waive any or all of those
conditions. If, on or prior to the expiration date, any or all of the conditions
have not been satisfied or waived, we reserve the right to (i) decline to
purchase any of the units tendered, terminate the offer and return all tendered
units to tendering limited partners, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions
and purchase, subject to the terms of the offer, any and all units validly
tendered, (iii) extend the offer and, subject to your withdrawal rights, retain
the units that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the
offer is extended, or (iv) amend the offer. The transfer of units will be
effective April 1, 2002.

         This offer is being mailed on or about May 8, 2002 to the persons shown
by your partnership's records to be limited partners or, in the case of units
owned of record by Individual Retirement Accounts and qualified plans,
beneficial owners of units.

2.       ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS.

         Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will
purchase, by accepting for payment, and will pay for, units validly tendered as
promptly as practicable following the expiration date. A tendering beneficial
owner of units whose units are owned of record by an Individual Retirement
Account or other qualified plan will not


                                      -7-

receive direct payment of the offer price; rather, payment will be made to the
custodian of such account or plan. In all cases, payment for units purchased
pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Information
Agent of a properly completed and duly executed acknowledgment and agreement and
other documents required by the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II. See
"The Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE OFFER PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH
PAYMENT.

         We will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer,
accept for payment and pay for units validly tendered, with appropriate
adjustments to avoid purchases that would violate the agreement of limited
partnership of your partnership and any relevant procedures or regulations
promulgated by the general partner or applicable law. In some circumstances, we
may pay you the full offer price and accept an assignment of your right to
receive distributions and other payments and an irrevocable proxy in respect of
the units and defer, perhaps indefinitely, the transfer of ownership of the
units on the partnership books. In other circumstances we may only be able to
purchase units which, together with units previously transferred within the
preceding twelve months, do not exceed 50% of the outstanding units.

         If the number of units validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on
or prior to the expiration date is less than or equal to the maximum number we
can purchase under the partnership agreement, we will purchase all units so
tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
offer. But if more units than can be purchased under the partnership agreement
are so tendered and not withdrawn, we will accept for payment and pay for those
units so tendered which do not violate the terms of your partnership agreement,
pro rata according to the number of units so tendered, with appropriate
adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional units.

         If proration of tendered units is required, then, subject to our
obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act to pay limited partners
the purchase price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly
after termination or withdrawal of the offer, we do not intend to pay for any
units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer until the final proration
results are known. Notwithstanding any such delay in payment, no interest will
be paid on the offer price.

         For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for
payment pursuant to the offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered units,
if, as and when we give verbal or written notice to the Information Agent of our
acceptance of those units for payment pursuant to the offer. Payment for units
accepted for payment pursuant to the offer will be made through the Information
Agent, which will act as agent for tendering limited partners for the purpose of
receiving cash payments from us and transmitting cash payments to tendering
limited partners.

         If any tendered units are not accepted for payment by us for any
reason, the acknowledgment and agreement with respect to such units not
purchased may be destroyed by the Information Agent or us or returned to you.
You may withdraw tendered units until the expiration date (including any
extensions). In addition, if we have not accepted units for payment by July 8,
2002, you may then withdraw any tendered units. After the expiration date, the
Information Agent may, on our behalf, retain tendered units, and those units may
not be otherwise withdrawn, if, for any reason, acceptance for payment of, or
payment for, any units tendered pursuant to the offer is delayed or we are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for units tendered pursuant to the
offer. Any such action is subject, however, to our obligation under Rule
14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act to pay you the offer price in respect of units
tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the
offer.

         We reserve the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, to one
or more of our affiliates, the right to purchase units tendered pursuant to the
offer, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve us of our obligations
under the offer or prejudice your rights to receive payment for units validly
tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer.

3.       PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.

         VALID TENDER. To validly tender units pursuant to the offer, a properly
completed and duly executed acknowledgment and agreement and any other documents
required by the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II must be received by
the Information Agent, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of
this offer to


                                      -8-

purchase, on or prior to the expiration date. You may tender all or any portion
of your units. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be
accepted.

         SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS. If the acknowledgment and agreement is signed
by the registered holder of a unit and payment is to be made directly to that
holder, then no signature guarantee is required on the acknowledgment and
agreement. Similarly, if a unit is tendered for the account of a member firm of
a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union,
savings and loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency
in the United States (each an "Eligible Institution"), no signature guarantee is
required on the acknowledgment and agreement. However, in all other cases, all
signatures on the acknowledgment and agreement must be guaranteed by an Eligible
Institution.

         In order for you to tender in the offer, your units must be validly
tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date.

         THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT AND ALL
OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT YOUR OPTION AND RISK, AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED
MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE INFORMATION AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY
MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL
CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

         APPOINTMENT AS PROXY; POWER OF ATTORNEY. By executing the
acknowledgment and agreement, you are irrevocably appointing us and our
designees as your proxy, in the manner set forth in the acknowledgment and
agreement and each with full power of substitution, to the fullest extent of
your rights with respect to the units tendered by you and accepted for payment
by us. Each such proxy shall be considered coupled with an interest in the
tendered units. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent
that, we accept the tendered units for payment. Upon such acceptance for
payment, all prior proxies given by you with respect to the units will, without
further action, be revoked, and no subsequent proxies may be given (and if given
will not be effective). We and our designees will, as to those units, be
empowered to exercise all voting and other rights as a limited partner as we, in
our sole discretion, may deem proper at any meeting of limited partners, by
written consent or otherwise. We reserve the right to require that, in order for
units to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon our acceptance for payment
of the units, we must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to the
units, including voting at any meeting of limited partners and/or limited
partners then scheduled or acting by written consent without a meeting. By
executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you agree to execute all such
documents and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required to enable
the units tendered to be voted in accordance with our directions. The proxy
granted by you to us will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of our offer.

         By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you also irrevocably
constitute and appoint us and our designees as your attorneys-in-fact, each with
full power of substitution, to the full extent of your rights with respect to
the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Such appointment will
be effective when, and only to the extent that, we pay for your units and will
remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of ten years following the
termination of our offer. You will agree not to exercise any rights pertaining
to the tendered units without our prior consent. Upon such payment, all prior
powers of attorney granted by you with respect to such units will, without
further action, be revoked, and no subsequent powers of attorney may be granted
(and if granted will not be effective). Pursuant to such appointment as
attorneys-in-fact, we and our designees each will have the power, among other
things, (i) to transfer ownership of such units on the partnership books
maintained by your general partner (and execute and deliver any accompanying
evidences of transfer and authenticity it may deem necessary or appropriate in
connection therewith), (ii) upon receipt by the Information Agent of the offer
consideration, to become a substituted limited partner, to receive any and all
distributions made by your partnership on or after the date on which we acquire
such units, and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of
beneficial ownership of such units in accordance with the terms of our offer,
(iii) to execute and deliver to the general partner of your partnership a change
of address form instructing the general partner to send any and all future
distributions to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of the offer in
respect of tendered units to the address specified in such form, and (iv) to
endorse any check payable to you or upon your order representing a distribution
to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of our offer, in each case in
your name and on your behalf.


                                      -9-

         By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you will irrevocably
constitute and appoint us and any of our designees as your true and lawful agent
and attorney-in-fact with respect to such units, with full power of substitution
(such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an
interest), to withdraw any or all of such units that have been previously
tendered in response to any other tender or exchange offer, provided that the
price per unit we are offering is equal to or higher than the price per unit
being offered in the other tender or exchange offer. Such appointment is
effective upon the execution and receipt of the acknowledgment and agreement and
shall continue to be effective unless and until you validly withdraw such units
from this offer prior to the expiration date.

         ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS. By executing the
acknowledgment and agreement, you will irrevocably assign to us and our assigns
all of your right, title and interest in and to any and all distributions made
by your partnership from any source and of any nature, including, without
limitation, distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of
assets, distributions upon liquidation, winding-up, or dissolution, payments in
settlement of existing or future litigation, and all other distributions and
payments from and after the expiration date of our offer, in respect of the
units tendered by you and accepted for payment and thereby purchased by us. If,
after the unit is accepted for payment and purchased by us, you receive any
distribution from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation,
distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets,
distributions upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, payments in
settlement of existing or future litigation and all other distributions and
payments, from your partnership in respect of such unit, you will agree to
forward promptly such distribution to us.

         DETERMINATION OF VALIDITY; REJECTION OF UNITS; WAIVER OF DEFECTS; NO
OBLIGATION TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFECTS. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of units pursuant to our offer will be determined by us, in our reasonable
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We
reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any particular unit
determined by us not to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for
that unit may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the
absolute right to waive or amend any of the conditions of the offer that we are
legally permitted to waive as to the tender of any particular unit and to waive
any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular unit of
any particular limited partner. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions
of the offer (including the acknowledgment and agreement and the letter of
transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. No tender of units will
be deemed to have been validly made unless and until all defects and
irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither we, the Information Agent, nor
any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or
irregularities in the tender of any unit or will incur any liability for failure
to give any such notification.

         BACKUP FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING. To prevent the possible
application of back-up federal income tax withholding of 30% with respect to
payment of the offer price, you may have to provide us with your correct
taxpayer identification number. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and
agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II and "The
Offer -- Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters."

         FIRPTA WITHHOLDING. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in
an amount equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition (the amount
realized is generally the offer price plus the partnership liabilities allocable
to each unit purchased), you must certify that you are not a foreign person if
you tender units. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set
forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II and "The Offer --
Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters."

         TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder of units or any person) payable on account of the transfer
of units will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence
of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.

         BINDING AGREEMENT. A tender of a unit pursuant to any of the procedures
described above and the acceptance for payment of such unit will constitute a
binding agreement between the tendering limited partner and us on the terms set
forth in this offer to purchase and the related acknowledgment and agreement and
letter of transmittal.


                                      -10-

4.       WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

         You may withdraw your tendered units at any time prior to the
expiration date, including any extensions thereof, or on or after July 8, 2002
if the units have not been previously accepted for payment.

         For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must
be timely received by the Information Agent at one of its addresses set forth on
the back cover of the offer to purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must
specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of units to be withdrawn
and the name of the registered holder of such units, if different from the
person who tendered. In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by the
person who signed the acknowledgment and agreement in the same manner as the
acknowledgment and agreement was signed.

         If purchase of, or payment for, a unit is delayed for any reason, or if
we are unable to purchase or pay for a unit for any reason, then, without
prejudice to our rights under the offer, tendered units may be retained by the
Information Agent; subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule
14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units
tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of our
offer.

         Any units properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been
validly tendered for purposes of our offer. However, withdrawn units may be
re-tendered at any time prior to the expiration date by following the procedures
described in "The Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units."

         All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt)
of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us in our reasonable discretion,
which determination will be final and binding on all parties. Neither the
Information Agent, any other person, nor we will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or
incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

5.       EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; NO SUBSEQUENT
         OFFERING PERIOD.

         We expressly reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion (i) to
extend the period of time during which our offer is open and thereby delay
acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, any unit, (ii) to terminate the
offer and not accept any units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for
if any of the conditions of the offer are not satisfied or if any event occurs
that might reasonably be expected to result in a failure to satisfy such
conditions, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in "The
Offer -- Section 17. Conditions of the Offer," or any event that might
reasonably be expected to result in such occurrence, to delay the acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any units not already accepted for payment or paid
for, and (iv) to amend our offer in any respect (including, without limitation,
by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing
the units being sought, or both). Notice of any such extension, termination or
amendment will promptly be disseminated to you in a manner reasonably designed
to inform you of such change. In the case of an extension of the offer, the
extension may be followed by a press release or public announcement which will
be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day
after the scheduled expiration date of our offer, in accordance with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

         If we extend the offer, or if we delay payment for a unit (whether
before or after its acceptance for payment) or are unable to pay for a unit
pursuant to our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights
under the offer, the Information Agent may retain tendered units and those units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering limited partners are
entitled to withdrawal rights as described in "The Offer -- Section 4.
Withdrawal Rights;" subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule
14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units
tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the
offer.

         If we make a material change in the terms of our offer, or if we waive
a material condition to our offer, we will extend the offer and disseminate
additional tender offer materials to the extent required by Rules 14d-4 and
14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which the offer must
remain open following any material change in the terms of the offer, other than
a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in
any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, will depend upon the facts and
circumstances, including the materiality of the change, but generally will be
five business days. With respect to a change in price or, subject to


                                      -11-

certain limitations, a change in the percentage of securities sought or a change
in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, a minimum of ten business days from the
date of such change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to
limited partners. Accordingly, if, prior to the expiration date, we increase
(other than increases of not more than two percent of the outstanding units) or
decrease the number of units being sought, or increase or decrease the offer
price, and if the offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the
tenth business day after the date that notice of such increase or decrease is
first published, sent or given to limited partners, the offer will be extended
at least until the expiration of such ten business days. As used in the offer to
purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a
Federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, New York City time.

         Pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, subsequent offering
periods may be provided in tender offers for "any and all" outstanding units of
a partnership. A subsequent offering period is an additional period of from
three to twenty business days following the expiration date of the offer,
including any extensions, in which limited partners may continue to tender units
not tendered in the offer for the offer price. Because of the remote possibility
that we may purchase fewer than all units tendered, as described in "The Offer
- -- Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units", a subsequent
offering period is not available to us.

6.       CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.

         The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the United
States federal income tax consequences of the offer that may be relevant to (i)
limited partners who tender some or all of their units for cash pursuant to our
offer, and (ii) limited partners who do not tender any of their units pursuant
to our offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), Treasury Regulations, rulings issued by
the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and judicial decisions, all as of the
date of this offer to purchase. All of the foregoing is subject to change or
alternative construction, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change
or alternative construction could affect the continuing accuracy of this
summary. This summary is based on the assumption that your partnership is
operated in accordance with its organizational documents including its
certificate of limited partnership and agreement of limited partnership. This
summary is for general information only and does not purport to discuss all
aspects of federal income taxation which may be important to a particular person
in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to certain types of
investors subject to special tax rules (including financial institutions,
broker-dealers, insurance companies, and, except to the extent discussed below,
tax-exempt organizations and foreign investors, as determined for United States
federal income tax purposes), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does
it describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. This summary
assumes that the units constitute capital assets in the hands of the limited
partners (generally, property held for investment). No advance ruling has been
or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this offer to
purchase. Further, no opinion of counsel has been obtained with regard to the
offer.

         THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF A LIMITED PARTNER
PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT
AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU
SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE,
LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SELLING THE INTERESTS IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP
REPRESENTED BY YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER OR OF A DECISION NOT TO SELL IN
LIGHT OF YOUR SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION.

         TAX CONSEQUENCES TO LIMITED PARTNERS TENDERING UNITS FOR CASH. You will
recognize gain or loss on a sale of a unit of limited partnership interest of
your partnership equal to the difference between (i) your "amount realized" on
the sale and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the unit sold. The "amount
realized" will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the
unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities
allocable to the unit (as determined under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue
Code). Thus, your taxable gain and tax liability resulting from a sale of a unit
could exceed the cash received upon such sale.

         ADJUSTED TAX BASIS. If you acquired your units for cash, your initial
tax basis in such units was generally equal to your cash investment in your
partnership increased by your share of partnership liabilities at the time you
acquired such units. Your initial tax basis generally has been increased by (i)
your share of partnership income and gains, and (ii) any increases in your share
of partnership liabilities, and has been decreased (but not below zero) by


                                      -12-

(i) your share of partnership cash distributions, (ii) any decreases in your
share of partnership liabilities, (iii) your share of partnership losses, and
(iv) your share of nondeductible partnership expenditures that are not
chargeable to capital. For purposes of determining your adjusted tax basis in
your units immediately prior to a disposition of your units, your adjusted tax
basis in your units will include your allocable share of partnership income,
gain or loss for the taxable year of disposition. If your adjusted tax basis is
less than your share of partnership liabilities (e.g., as a result of the effect
of net loss allocations and/or distributions exceeding the cost of your unit),
your gain recognized with respect to a unit pursuant to the offer will exceed
the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of such unit.

         CHARACTER OF GAIN OR LOSS RECOGNIZED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. Except as
described below, the gain or loss recognized by you on a sale of a unit pursuant
to the offer generally will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if
you held the unit for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by
individuals and certain other noncorporate taxpayers generally will be subject
to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 20%. If the amount
realized with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest of your
partnership that is attributable to your share of "unrealized receivables" of
your partnership exceeds the tax basis attributable to those assets, such excess
will be treated as ordinary income. Among other things, "unrealized receivables"
include depreciation recapture for certain types of property. In addition, the
maximum United States federal income tax rate applicable to persons who are
noncorporate taxpayers for net capital gains attributable to the sale of
depreciable real property (which may be determined to include an interest in a
partnership such as your units) held for more than one year is currently 25%
(rather than 20%) with respect to that portion of the gain attributable to
depreciation deductions previously taken on the property.

         If you tender a unit of limited partnership interest of your
partnership in the offer, you will be allocated a share of partnership taxable
income or loss for the year of tender with respect to any units sold. You will
not receive any future distributions on units tendered on or after the date on
which such units are accepted for purchase and, accordingly, you may not receive
any distributions with respect to such accreted income. Such allocation and any
partnership cash distributions to you for that year will affect your adjusted
tax basis in your unit and, therefore, the amount of your taxable gain or loss
upon a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer.

         PASSIVE ACTIVITY LOSSES. The passive activity loss rules of the
Internal Revenue Code limit the use of losses derived from passive activities,
which generally include investments in limited partnership interests such as
your units. An individual, as well as certain other types of investors,
generally cannot use losses from passive activities to offset nonpassive
activity income received during the taxable year. Passive losses that are
disallowed for a particular tax year are "suspended" and may be carried forward
to offset passive activity income earned by the investor in future taxable
years. In addition, such suspended losses may be claimed as a deduction, subject
to other applicable limitations, upon a taxable disposition of the investor's
interest in such activity.

         Accordingly, if your investment in your units is treated as a passive
activity, you may be able to reduce gain from the sale of your units pursuant to
the offer with passive losses in the manner described below. If you sell all or
a portion of your units pursuant to the offer and recognize a gain on your sale,
you will generally be entitled to use your current and "suspended" passive
activity losses (if any) from your partnership and other passive sources to
offset that gain. In general, if you sell all or a portion of your units
pursuant to the offer and recognize a loss on such sale, you will be entitled to
deduct that loss currently (subject to other applicable limitations) against the
sum of your passive activity income from your partnership for that year (if any)
plus any passive activity income from other sources for that year. If you sell
all of your units pursuant to the offer, the balance of any "suspended" losses
from your partnership that were not otherwise utilized against passive activity
income as described in the two preceding sentences will generally no longer be
suspended and will generally therefore be deductible (subject to any other
applicable limitations) by you against any other income for that year,
regardless of the character of that income. You are urged to consult your tax
advisor concerning whether, and the extent to which, you have available
"suspended" passive activity losses from your partnership or other investments
that may be used to reduce gain from the sale of units pursuant to the offer.

         INFORMATION REPORTING, BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND FIRPTA. If you tender any
units, you must report the transaction by filing a statement with your United
States federal income tax return for the year of the tender which provides
certain required information to the IRS. To prevent the possible application of
back-up United States federal income tax withholding of 30% with respect to the
payment of the offer consideration, you are


                                      -13-

generally required to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification
number. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set forth in
the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II.

         Gain realized by a foreign person on the sale of a unit pursuant to the
offer will be subject to federal income tax under the Foreign Investment in Real
Property Tax Act of 1980. Under these provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
the transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in a partnership which
owns United States real property generally is required to deduct and withhold
10% of the amount realized on the disposition. Amounts withheld would be
creditable against a foreign person's United States federal income tax liability
and, if in excess thereof, a refund could be claimed from the Internal Revenue
Service by filing a United States income tax return. See the instructions to the
acknowledgment and agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as
Annex II.

         TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-TENDERING AND PARTIALLY-TENDERING LIMITED
PARTNERS. Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if there is a
sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in capital and profits of
a partnership within any 12-month period, such partnership terminates for United
States federal income tax purposes. Your partnership's agreement of limited
partnership prohibits such a sale or exchange of units. If units are validly
tendered and not withdrawn that would cause such a transfer, we will accept for
payment and pay for those units so tendered pro rata according to the number of
units so tendered, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional
units. See "The Offer -- Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for
Units."

         If your partnership is deemed to terminate for tax purposes, the
following federal income tax events will be deemed to occur: the terminated
partnership will be deemed to have contributed all of its assets (subject to its
liabilities) to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new
partnership and, immediately thereafter, the old partnership will be deemed to
have distributed interests in the new partnership to the remaining limited
partners in proportion to their respective interests in the old partnership in
liquidation of the old partnership.

         You will not recognize any gain or loss upon such deemed contribution
of your partnership's assets to the new partnership or upon such deemed
distribution of interests in the new partnership, and your capital account in
your partnership will carry over to the new partnership. A termination of your
partnership for federal income tax purposes may change (and possibly shorten)
your holding period with respect to interests in your partnership that you
choose to retain. Gain recognized by you on the disposition of retained units
with a holding period of 12 months or less may be classified as short-term
capital gain and subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.

         A termination of your partnership for federal income tax purposes may
also subject the assets of your partnership to longer depreciable lives than
those currently applicable to the assets of your partnership. This would
generally decrease the annual average depreciation deductions allocable to you
for certain years following our offer if you do not tender all of your interests
in your partnership (thereby increasing the taxable income allocable to your
interests in your partnership each such year), but would have no effect on the
total depreciation deductions available over the useful lives of the assets of
your partnership. Additionally, upon a termination of your partnership, the
taxable year of your partnership will close for federal income tax purposes.

7.       EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.

         Because the general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, we
have control over the management of your partnership. We also own the company
that currently manages the residential property owned by your partnership. In
addition, we and our affiliates own 198,421.48 or 51.28%, of the outstanding
limited partnership units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own
a majority of the outstanding units and control your partnership's general
partner, we control the outcome of most voting decisions with respect to your
partnership. Even if we acquire a lesser number of units pursuant to this offer,
we will be able to significantly influence the outcome of most voting decisions
with respect to your partnership. In general, we will vote the units owned by us
in whatever manner we deem to be in our best interests, which may not be in the
interest of other limited partners. This could (1) prevent non-tendering limited
partners from taking action that they desire but that we oppose and (2) enable
us to take action desired by us but opposed by non-tendering limited partners.
We are also affiliated with the company that currently manages, and has managed
for some time, the property owned by your partnership. If we acquire a
substantial number of units pursuant to this offer, removal of the property
manager may become more difficult or impossible.


                                      -14-

         DISTRIBUTIONS TO US. If we acquire units in the offer, we will
participate in any subsequent distributions to limited partners to the extent of
the units purchased.

         PARTNERSHIP STATUS. We believe our purchase of units in accordance with
the terms of our offer should not adversely affect the issue of whether your
partnership is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

         BUSINESS. Our offer will not affect the operation of the property owned
by your partnership. We will continue to control the general partner of your
partnership and the residential property manager, both of which will remain the
same. Consummation of the offer will not affect your agreement of limited
partnership, the operations of your partnership, the business and properties
owned by your partnership or any other matter relating to your partnership,
except it would result in us increasing our ownership of units. We have no
current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the
manager of your partnership's residential property.

         EFFECT ON TRADING MARKET; REGISTRATION UNDER 12(g) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.
If a substantial number of unitholders tender their units pursuant to our offer,
the result will be a reduction in the number of unitholders in your partnership.
In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of
securityholders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and
volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In the case of your
partnership, however, there is no established public trading market for the
units and, therefore, we do not believe a reduction in the number of limited
partners will materially further restrict your ability to find purchasers for
your units through secondary market transactions.

         The units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which
means, among other things, that your partnership is required to file periodic
reports with the SEC and to comply with the SEC's proxy rules. We do not expect
or intend that consummation of the offer will cause the units to cease to be
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the units were to be held
by fewer than 300 persons, your partnership could apply to de-register the units
under the Exchange Act. Your partnership currently has 10,135 unitholders. If
units are tendered which would result in fewer than 320 unitholders in your
partnership, we will purchase no more than 99% of the units tendered by each
limited partner to assure that there are more than 300 unitholders after our
offer. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date;
Proration."

         ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. Upon consummation of the offer, we will account
for our investment in any acquired units under the purchase method of
accounting. There will be no effect on the accounting treatment of your
partnership as a result of the offer.

         amounts to conform with the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications
         represent certain eliminations of self-charged management fee income

         Effective January 1, 2001, AIMCO Properties began consolidating its
         previously unconsolidated subsidiaries (see Note 6 to the consolidated
         financial statements in the 2001 10-K). Prior to this date, AIMCO
         Properties had significant influence but did not have control.
         Accordingly, such investments were accounted for under the equity
         method.

(2)      Effective July 1, 2001 for certain assets and October 1, 2001 for the
         majority of the portfolio AIMCO Properties extended the estimated
         useful lives of its buildings and improvements from a weighted average
         composite life of 25 years to a weighted average composite life of 30
         years. This change increased net income by approximately $36 million or
         $0.42 per diluted unit in 2001.

9.       BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER.

         GENERAL. We are in the business of acquiring direct and indirect
interests in apartment properties such as the properties owned by your
partnership. Our offer provides us with an opportunity to increase our ownership
interest in your partnership's property while providing you and other investors
with an opportunity to liquidate your current investment.

         BACKGROUND. On October 1, 1998, AIMCO merged (the "Insignia Merger")
with Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). As a result of the Insignia
Merger, AIMCO acquired approximately 51% of the outstanding common shares of
beneficial interest of Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"). Through the Insignia
Merger, AIMCO also acquired a majority ownership interest in the entity that
manages the residential properties owned by your partnership. On October 31,
1998, IPT and AIMCO entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of
October 1, 1998, pursuant to which IPT merged with AIMCO on February 26, 1999.
AIMCO then contributed IPT's interest in Insignia Properties L.P., IPT's
operating partnership, to AIMCO's wholly owned subsidiary, AIMCO/IPT, Inc. AIMCO
also replaced IPT as the sole general partner of Insignia Properties L.P. As a
result, the general partner of your partnership is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of AIMCO/IPT and the property manager is our indirect wholly owned
subsidiary. Together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, AIMCO currently owns,
in the aggregate, approximately 51.28% of your partnership's outstanding limited
partnership units, along with a 1% general partner interest held by the general
partner.

         During our negotiations with Insignia in early 1998, we decided that if
the merger with Insignia were consummated, we could also benefit from making
offers for limited partnership interests of some of the limited partnerships
formerly controlled or managed by Insignia (the "Insignia Partnerships"). Such
offers would provide liquidity for the limited partners of the Insignia
Partnerships and would provide us with a larger asset and capital base and
increased diversification. While some of the Insignia Partnerships are public
partnerships and information is publicly available on such partnerships for
weighing the benefits of making a tender offer, many of the partnerships are
private partnerships and information about such partnerships comes principally
from the general partner. Our control of the general partner makes it possible
for us to obtain access to such information. Further, such control also means
that we control the operations of the partnerships and their properties.
Insignia did not propose that we conduct such tender offers; rather, we
initiated the offers on our own. As of the date of this offering, AIMCO
Properties, L.P. has made offers to many of the Insignia Partnerships, including
your partnership.


                                      -18-

         ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BY YOUR GENERAL PARTNER. Before we commenced
this offer, your general partner (which is our subsidiary) considered a number
of alternative transactions. The following is a brief discussion of the
advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives considered by your general
partner.

         LIQUIDATION

         One alternative would be for the partnership to sell its assets,
distribute the net liquidation proceeds to its partners in accordance with the
agreement of limited partnership, and thereafter dissolve. Partners would be at
liberty to use the net liquidation proceeds after taxes for investment,
business, personal or other purposes, at their option. If your partnership were
to sell its assets and liquidate, you would not need to rely upon capitalization
of income or other valuation methods to estimate the fair market value of
partnership assets. Instead, such assets would be valued through negotiations
with prospective purchasers (in many cases unrelated third parties). The term of
the partnership will continue until December 31, 2015, unless the partnership is
terminated sooner under the provisions of the partnership agreement.

         However, in the opinion of your general partner, which is our
subsidiary, the present time may not be the most desirable time to sell the
residential real estate assets of your partnership in a private transaction, and
the proceeds realized from any such sale would be uncertain. Your general
partner believes it currently is in the best interest of your partnership to
continue holding its real estate assets. See "The Offer - - Section 13. Certain
Information concerning your Partnership--Investment Objectives and Policies;
Sale or Financing of Investments."

         CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT THE OFFER

         A second alternative would be for your partnership to continue as a
separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities and continue to be
governed by its existing agreement of limited partnership, without our offer. A
number of advantages could result from the continued operation of your
partnership. Given improving rental market conditions or improved operating
performance, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is possible
that the private resale market for properties could improve over time, making a
sale of the partnership's property at some point in the future a more attractive
option than it is currently. The continuation of your partnership will allow you
to continue to participate in the net income and any increases in revenue of
your partnership and any net proceeds from the sale of the property owned by
your partnership. However, no assurance can be given as to future operating
results or as to the results of any future attempts to sell the property owned
by your partnership.

         The primary disadvantage of continuing the operations of your
partnership is that you would be limited in your ability to sell your units.
Although you could sell your units to a third party, any such sale would likely
be at a discount from your pro rata share of the fair market value of the
property owned by your partnership.

         ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS CONSIDERED BY US. Before we decided to make
our offer, we considered a number of alternative transactions, including
purchasing your partnership's property or merging your partnership with us.
However, both of these alternatives would require a vote of all the unitholders.
If the transaction were approved, all of the unitholders, including those who
wish to continue to participate in the ownership of your partnership's
properties, would be forced to participate in the transaction. If the
transaction were not approved, all of the unitholders, including those who would
like to dispose of their investment in your partnership's property, would be
forced to retain their investment. We also considered an offer to exchange units
in your partnership for limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties.
However, because of the expense and delay associated with making such an
exchange offer, we decided to make an offer for cash only. In addition, our
historical experience has been that most holders of limited partnership units,
when given a choice, prefer cash.

         DETERMINATION OF OFFER PRICE. In establishing the offer price, we
principally considered:

         -        The per unit liquidation value of your partnership, which we
                  calculated to be $39.00, based on the pro forma operating
                  results of your partnership for the quarter ended March 31,
                  2002, as capitalized using the direct capitalization method
                  and using a capitalization rate of 9.66% with respect to Cedar
                  Rim Apartments, 10.80% with respect to Lake Villa (Hidden
                  Cove) Apartments, 9.89% with respect to Lamplighter Park,
                  11.84% with respect to Park Capital, 11.51% with respect to
                  Sandpiper, 11.52% with respect to Tamarac Village Apartments,
                  and 11.58% with respect to Williamsburg Manor Apartments.

         -        Prices at which the units have recently sold to the extent
                  such information is available to us; and

         -        The absence of a liquid trading market for the units.

         Our determination of the offer price was based on our review and
analysis of the foregoing information, the other financial information and the
analyses concerning the partnership summarized below.

         VALUATION OF UNITS. We determined our offer price by: (i) applying a
capitalization rate to your partnership's pro forma operating results for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002; (ii) adjusting this value for liabilities,
non-real estate assets, and certain other costs; and (iii) determining the
proceeds that would be paid to limited partners in the event of a liquidation of
your partnership. A capitalization rate is a percentage (rate of return),
applied to property income by purchasers of residential real estate, to
determine the present value of income property. The lower the capitalization
rate, the higher the value produced, and the higher the capitalization rate, the
lower the value produced. We used property incomes based on the pro forma
operating results of your partnership for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. But
in determining the appropriate capitalization rate, we also considered the
following factors. Our method for selecting a capitalization rate begins with
each property being assigned a location and condition rating (for example, "A"
for excellent, "B" for good, and so on). We then adjusted the capitalization
rate based on whether the property's mortgage debt is above or below market
rates. We also consider recent changes in your partnership's property income and
occupancy rate. All these factors are subjective in nature, and others
evaluating the same property might use a different capitalization rate and
derive a different property value.

         Although the direct capitalization method is an accepted way of valuing
real estate, there are a number of other methods available to value real estate,
each of which may result in different valuations of a property. We determined
our cash consideration in the following manner. First, we estimated the gross
property value of your partnership's property using a capitalization rate of
9.66% with respect to Cedar Rim Apartments, 10.80% with respect to Lake Villa
(Hidden Cove) Apartments, 9.89% with respect to Lamplighter Park, 11.84% with
respect to Park Capital, 11.51% with respect to Sandpiper, 11.52% with respect
to Tamarac Village Apartments, and 11.58% with respect to Williamsburg Manor
Apartments. We applied those capitalization rates to pro forma operating results
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, to obtain estimated gross property values.
We then calculated the value of the equity of your partnership by adding to the
aggregate gross property value the value of the non-real estate assets of your
partnership and deducting its liabilities and certain other costs, including
required capital expenditures, deferred maintenance and closing costs, to derive
its net equity value. Finally, using this net equity value, we determined the
proceeds that would be paid to limited partners in the event of a liquidation of
your partnership. Based on the terms of your partnership's agreement of limited
partnership, 100% of the estimated liquidation proceeds are assumed to be
distributed to limited partners of your partnership. Our offer price represents
the per unit liquidation proceeds determined in this manner.

         COMPARISON OF OFFER PRICE TO ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATION. To assist
holders of units in evaluating the offer, your general partner, which is our
subsidiary, has attempted to compare the offer price against: (a) prices at
which the units have sold on the secondary market and (b) estimates of the value
of the units on a liquidation basis. The general partner of your partnership
believes that analyzing the alternatives in terms of estimated value, based upon
currently available data and, where appropriate, reasonable assumptions made in
good faith, establishes a reasonable framework for comparing alternatives. Since
the value of the consideration for alternatives to the offer is dependent upon
varying market conditions, no assurance can be given that the estimated values
reflect the range of possible values.

         The results of these comparative analyses are summarized in the chart
below. You should bear in mind that some of the alternative values are based on
a variety of assumptions that have been made by us. These assumptions relate to,
among other things, the operating results since December 31, 2001, as to income
and expenses of the property, other projected amounts and the capitalization
rates that may be used by prospective buyers if your partnership assets were to
be liquidated.

         In addition, these estimates are based upon certain information
available to your general partner, which is our subsidiary, or an affiliate at
the time the estimates were computed, and no assurance can be given that the
same conditions analyzed by it in arriving at the estimates of value would exist
at the time of the offer. The assumptions used have been determined by the
general partner of your partnership or an affiliate in good faith, and, where
appropriate, are based upon current and historical information regarding your
partnership and current real estate markets, and have been highlighted below to
the extent critical to the conclusions of the general partner of your
partnership. Actual results may vary from those set forth below based on
numerous factors, including interest rate fluctuations, tax law changes, supply
and demand for similar apartment properties, the manner in which your
partnership's property is sold and changes in availability of capital to finance
acquisitions of apartment properties.

         Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of
the partnership will continue until December 31, 2015, unless sooner terminated
as provided in the agreement or by law.

         (2)      Since January 1, 2000.

         PRIOR TENDER OFFERS. An unaffiliated third party made a tender offer
for your partnership's units at a price of $65 per unit, which offer expired on
March 30, 2001.

         In July 2000, we commenced a tender offer to purchase units of your
partnership at a price of $106.00 per unit, which price was determined using the
same basic methodology as we are using in this current tender offer, except that
we also considered an independent third party fairness opinion. We acquired
14,055.28 units, representing approximately 3.63% of the outstanding units of
your partnership, pursuant to that offer.

         We are aware that other tender offers may have been made by
unaffiliated third parties to acquire units in your partnership in exchange for
cash. We are unaware of the amounts offered, terms, tendering parties or number
of units involved in any pending tender offers.

         PRICES ON SECONDARY MARKET. Secondary market sales information is not a
reliable measure of value because of the limited amount of any known trades.
Except for offers made by us and unaffiliated third parties, privately
negotiated sales and sales through intermediaries are the only means which may
be available to a limited partner to liquidate an investment in units (other
than our offer) because the units are not listed or traded on any exchange or
quoted on Nasdaq, on the Electronic Bulletin Board, or in "pink sheets."
Secondary sales activity for the units, including privately negotiated sales,
has been limited and sporadic.

         Set forth below are the high and low sale prices of units for the
periods listed below as reported by The Partnership Spectrum, which is an
independent, third-party source. The gross sales prices reported by The
Partnership Spectrum do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received
by sellers of units, which typically are reduced by commissions and other
secondary market transaction costs to amounts less than the reported price. The
Partnership Spectrum represents only one source of secondary sales information,
and other services may contain prices for the units that equal or exceed the
sales prices reported in The Partnership Spectrum. We do not know whether the
information compiled by The Partnership Spectrum is accurate or complete.

         We and certain of our affiliates purchased 66.90 units at a price of
$106.00 per unit on March 29, 2002 in a private sale.

         ESTIMATED LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS. Liquidation value is a measure of the
price at which the assets of your partnership would sell if disposed of by your
partnership in an arms-length transaction to a willing buyer that has access to
relevant information regarding the historical revenues and expenses of the
business. Your general partner, which is our subsidiary, estimated the
liquidation value of the units using the same direct capitalization method and
assumptions as we did in valuing the units for the offer price. The liquidation
analysis assumes that your partnership's property is sold to an independent
third party at the current property value, that other balance sheet assets
(excluding amortizing assets) and liabilities of your partnership are sold at
their book value, and that the net proceeds of sale are allocated to the
unitholders in accordance with your partnership's agreement of limited
partnership.

         The liquidation analysis assumes that the assets of your partnership
are sold in a single transaction. Should the assets be liquidated over time,
even at prices equal to those projected, distributions to limited partners from
cash flow from operations might be reduced because your partnership's fixed
costs, such as general and administrative expenses, are not proportionately
reduced with the liquidation of assets. However, for simplification purposes,
the sales of the assets are assumed to occur concurrently. The liquidation
analysis assumes that the assets are disposed of in an orderly manner and are
not sold in forced or distressed in which assets might be sold at substantial
discounts to their actual fair market value.

         ALLOCATION OF CONSIDERATION. We have allocated to the unitholders the
amount of the estimated net valuation of your partnership based on your
partnership's agreement of limited partnership as if your partnership were being
liquidated at the present time.

10.      POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE
         OFFER.

         The partnership and the general partner of your partnership (which is
our subsidiary) have provided the following information for inclusion in this
offer to purchase:

         The general partner of your partnership is remaining neutral and makes
no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your
units in the offer. You must make your own decision whether or not to
participate in any offer, based upon a number of factors, including several
factors that may be personal to you, such as your financial position, your need
or desire for liquidity, your preferences regarding the timing of when you might
wish to sell your units, other financial opportunities available to you, and
your tax position and the tax consequences to you of selling your units.

         Without quantifying or otherwise attaching any particular weight to any
of the following factors or information, you may want to consider the following:

         -        the offer gives you an opportunity to make an individual
                  decision on whether to tender your units or to continue to
                  hold them;

         -        the offer price and the method used to determine the offer
                  price;


                                      -23-

         -        the offer price is based on an estimated value of your
                  partnership's property that has been determined using a method
                  believed to reflect the valuation by buyers in the market for
                  similar assets;

         -        prices at which the units have recently sold, to the extent
                  such information is available;

         -        the absence of an established trading market for your units;

         -        an analysis of possible alternative transactions, including a
                  property sale, or a liquidation of the partnership; and

         -        an evaluation of the financial condition and results of
                  operations of your partnership.

         Except for this offer, neither the general partner of your partnership
or its affiliates have any plans or arrangements to tender any units. Except as
otherwise provided in "The Offer - - Section 12. Future Plans of the Purchaser,"
the general partner does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a purchase or sale or
transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets; or any changes in
your partnership's present capitalization, indebtedness or distribution
policies. For information relating to certain relationships between your
partnership and its general partner, on one hand, and AIMCO and its affiliates,
on the other and conflicts of interests with respect to the tender offer, see
"The Offer - - Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer" and "The Offer -
- - Section 11. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Affiliates." See also
"The Offer - - Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer - - Comparison to
Alternative Consideration - - Prior Tender Offers" for certain information
regarding transactions in units of your partnership.

11.      CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

         CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. The general partner of
your partnership became a majority-owned subsidiary of AIMCO on October 1, 1998,
when AIMCO merged with Insignia Financial Group, Inc. Your general partner
became a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO on February 26, 1999, when Insignia
Properties Trust merged with AIMCO. Accordingly, the general partner of your
partnership has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the offer. As
a consequence of our ownership of units, we may have incentives to seek to
maximize the value of our ownership of units, which in turn may result in a
conflict for your general partner in attempting to reconcile our interests with
the interests of the other limited partners. We desire to purchase units at a
low price and you desire to sell units at a high price. Such conflicts of
interest in connection with the offer differ from those conflicts of interest
that currently exist for your partnership. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO
PURCHASE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR UNITS. The
general partner makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or
refrain from tendering your units.

         CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT CURRENTLY EXIST FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP. We own
both the general partner of your partnership and the property manager of your
partnership's residential property. The general partner of your partnership
received total fees and reimbursements of $590,000 in 2000 and $1,362,000 in
2001. The property manager is entitled to receive five percent of gross receipts
from the partnership's residential property for providing property management
services. It received management fees of $688,000 in 2000, and $748,000 in 2001.
We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for your general
partner or the manager of your partnership's residential property.

         COMPETITION AMONG PROPERTIES. Because AIMCO and your partnership both
invest in apartment properties, these properties may compete with one another
for tenants. Furthermore, you should bear in mind that AIMCO may acquire
properties in the general market areas where your partnership's property is
located. We believe that this concentration of properties in a general market
areas will facilitate overall operations through collective advertising efforts
and other operational efficiencies. In managing AIMCO's properties, we will
attempt to reduce conflicts between competing properties by referring
prospective customers to the property considered to be most conveniently located
for the customer's needs.


                                      -24-

         FUTURE OFFERS. Although we have no current plans to conduct future
tender offers for your units, our plans may change based on future
circumstances, including tender offers made by third parties. Any such future
offers that we might make could be for consideration that is more or less than
the consideration we are currently offering.

         TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. In addition to reimbursement for services
of affiliates, an affiliate of the general partner was paid approximately
$369,000 for services related to the refinancing of the mortgages encumbering
Lamplighter Park Apartments, Tamarac Village Apartments, Cedar Rim Apartments,
and Hidden Cove Apartments during the year ended December 31, 2001. These costs
were capitalized and are included in other assets on the balance sheet.

         Beginning in 2001, the partnership began insuring its properties up to
certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO Properties which is generally
self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers
compensation, property casualty and vehicle liability. The partnership insures
its properties above the AIMCO Properties limits through insurance policies
obtained by AIMCO Properties from insurers unaffiliated with the General
Partner. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the partnership paid AIMCO
Properties and its affiliates approximately $121,000 for insurance coverage and
fees associated with policy claims administration.

12.      FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER.

         As described above under "The Offer - - Section 9. Background and
Reasons for the Offer," we own the general partner and thereby control the
management of your partnership. In addition, we own the manager of your
partnership's residential property. We currently intend that, upon consummation
of the offer, we will hold the units acquired and your partnership will continue
its business and operations substantially as they are currently being conducted.
The offer is not expected to have any effect on partnership operations.

         Although we have no present intention to do so, we may acquire
additional units or sell units after completion or termination of the offer. Any
acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future
tender or exchange offers, by merger, consolidation or by any other means deemed
advisable. Any acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to
be paid for the units purchased pursuant to this offer, and may be for cash,
limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties or other consideration. We
also may consider selling some or all of the units we acquire pursuant to this
offer to persons not yet determined, which may include our affiliates. We may
also buy your partnership's property, although we have no present intention to
do so. There can be no assurance, however, that we will initiate or complete, or
will cause your partnership to initiate or complete, any subsequent transaction
during any specific time period following the expiration of the offer or at all.

         Except as set forth herein, we do not have any present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such
as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a
purchase or sale or transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets;
any changes in composition of your partnership's senior management or personnel
or their compensation; any changes in your partnership's present capitalization,
indebtedness or distribution policy; or any other material changes in your
partnership's structure or business. We or our affiliates may loan funds to your
partnership which may be secured by your partnership's property. If any such
loans are made, upon default of such loans, we or our affiliates could seek to
foreclose on the loan and related mortgage or security interest. However, we
expect that, consistent with your general partner's fiduciary obligations, the
general partner will seek and review opportunities, including opportunities
identified by us, to engage in transactions which could benefit your
partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or a combination of the
partnership with one or more other entities, with the objective of seeking to
maximize returns to limited partners.

         We have been advised that the possible future transactions the general
partner expects to consider on behalf of your partnership include: (i) payment
of extraordinary distributions; (ii) refinancing, reducing or increasing
existing indebtedness of the partnership; (iii) sales of assets, individually or
as part of a complete liquidation; and (iv) mergers or other consolidation
transactions involving the partnership. Any such merger or consolidation
transaction could involve other limited partnerships in which your general
partner or its affiliates serve as general partners, or a combination of the
partnership with one or more existing, publicly traded entities (including,
possibly, affiliates of AIMCO), in any of which limited partners might receive
cash, common stock or other securities or


                                      -25-

consideration. There is no assurance, however, as to when or whether any of the
transactions referred to above might occur. If any such transaction is effected
by the partnership and financial benefits accrue to its limited partners, we
will participate in those benefits to the extent of our ownership of units. The
agreement of limited partnership prohibits limited partners from voting on
actions taken by the partnership, unless otherwise specifically permitted by the
partnership agreement. Limited partners may vote on a liquidation, and we can
significantly influence or control the outcome of any such vote. Our primary
objective in seeking to acquire the units pursuant to the offer is not, however,
to influence the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a
profit on the investment represented by those units.

13.      CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

         GENERAL. Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 was organized
on May 23, 1984 under the laws of the State of California. Its primary business
is real estate ownership and related operations. Your partnership was formed for
the purpose of lending funds in return for participating notes secured by deeds
of trust on real properties.

         Your partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of the
following seven residential apartment complexes: Cedar Rim, a 104-unit
residential apartment complex located in New Castle, Washington; Hidden Cove By
The Lake, a 120-unit residential apartment complex located in Belleville,
Michigan; Lamplighter Park, a 174-unit residential apartment complex located in
Bellevue, Washington; Park Capital, a 135-unit residential apartment complex
located in Salt Lake City, Utah; Tamarac Village I, II, III and IV, a 564-unit
residential apartment complex located in Denver, Colorado; Williamsburg Manor, a
183-unit residential apartment complex located in Cary, North Carolina; and
Sandpiper I and II, a 276-unit residential apartment complex located in St.
Petersburg, Florida.

         The general partner of your partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc., which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO (the "general partner"). A wholly owned
subsidiary of AIMCO also serves as manager of the residential property owned by
your partnership. There are currently 383,032.80 units outstanding, which were
held of record by 10,135 limited partners. Your partnership's and the general
partner's principal executive offices are located at Colorado Center, Tower Two,
2000 South Colorado Boulevard, Suite 2-1000, Denver, Colorado 80222, telephone
(303) 757-8101.

         For additional information about your partnership, please refer to the
annual report prepared by your partnership which was sent to you earlier this
year, particularly Item 2 of Form 10-KSB, which contains detailed information
regarding the properties owned, including mortgages, rental rates and taxes. In
addition, your partnership is subject to the information and reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and information about your partnership can be
obtained in the same manner as information can be obtained about us, as set
forth in "The Offer -- Section 8. Information Concerning Us and Certain of our
Affiliates."

         INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES; SALE OR FINANCING OF INVESTMENTS.
Your general partner (which is our subsidiary) regularly evaluates the
partnership's property by considering various factors, such as the partnership's
financial position and real estate and capital markets conditions. The general
partner monitors the property's specific locale and sub-market conditions
(including stability of the surrounding neighborhood), evaluating current
trends, competition, new construction and economic changes. It oversees the
property's operating performance and continuously evaluates the physical
improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for the property
(including any prepayment penalties), tax implications, availability of
attractive mortgage financing to a purchaser, and the investment climate are all
considered. Any of these factors, and possibly others, could potentially
contribute to any decision by the general partner to sell, refinance, upgrade
with capital improvements or hold the partnership property. If rental market
conditions improve, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is
possible that the private resale market for properties could improve over time,
making a sale of the partnership's property in a private transaction at some
point in the future a more viable option than it is currently. After taking into
account the foregoing considerations, your general partner is not currently
seeking a sale of your partnership's property primarily because it expects the
property's operating performance to improve in the long term. In making this
assessment, your general partner noted the occupancy and rental rates at the
residential property. In particular, the general partner noted that it spent
approximately $1,805,000 for capital expenditures at the residential property in
2001, and expects to spend approximately $278,676 for capital improvements at
the residential property in 2002, to repair and update the property. Although
there can be no assurance as to future


                                      -26-

performance, however, these expenditures are expected to improve the
desirability of the property to tenants. The general partner does not believe
that a sale of the property at the present time would adequately reflect the
property's future prospects. Another significant factor considered by your
general partner is the likely tax consequences of a sale of the property for
cash. Such a transaction would likely result in tax liabilities for many limited
partners.

         TERM OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP. Under your partnership's agreement of limited
partnership, the term of the partnership will continue until December 31, 2015,
unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement or by law. Limited
partners could, as an alternative to tendering their units, take a variety of
possible actions, including voting to liquidate the partnership or amending the
agreement of limited partnership to authorize limited partners to cause the
partnership to merge with another entity or engage in a "roll-up" or similar
transaction.

         CAPITAL REPLACEMENTS. Your partnership has an ongoing program of
capital improvements, replacements and renovations, including floor covering,
water heater, appliance and roof replacements, electrical improvements, and
other replacements and renovations in the ordinary course of business. All
capital improvements and renovation costs, which totaled $1,805,000 for 2001 and
which are budgeted at $278,676 for 2002, are expected to be paid from operating
cash flows, cash reserves, or from short-term or long-term borrowings.

         COMPETITION. There are other residential properties within the market
areas of your partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive
properties in such areas could have a material effect on the rental market for
the apartments at your partnership's properties and the rents that may be
charged for such apartments. While AIMCO is a significant factor in the United
States in the apartment industry, competition for apartments is local. According
to data published by the National Multi-Housing Council, we believe AIMCO is one
of the largest owners and managers of multifamily apartment properties in the
United States.

         FINANCIAL DATA. The selected financial information of your partnership
set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 is based on
audited financial statements. This information should be read in conjunction
with such financial statements, including notes thereto, and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Your
Partnership" in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of your partnership for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Your partnership may be a party to a variety of
legal proceedings related to its ownership of the partnership's properties,
arising in the ordinary course of the business, which are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on your partnership. In addition, you should note the
following with respect to the specific litigation affecting your partnership.

         Background

         In March 1998, unit holders of limited partnership units in the
partnerships managed by affiliates of Insignia Financial Group (collectively,
"Insignia") commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of California for the County of San Mateo (the "Court"). The plaintiffs
named as defendants, among others, your partnership, its general partner and
several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities, as well as
AIMCO, who had announced a merger with Insignia. The action originally asserted
claims on behalf of a putative class of limited partners in over 50 limited
partnerships, including your partnership (collectively, the "Partnerships") and
derivatively on behalf of those same Partnerships (which are named as nominal
defendants) challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in
certain general partner entities by Insignia; past tender offers by Insignia to
acquire limited partnership units; Insignia's management of the Partnerships;
and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26,
1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged
into AIMCO (hereinafter, the "Insignia Merger").

         Procedural History

         On June 25, 1998, your general partner filed a motion seeking dismissal
of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint. The general partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint
which were heard February 1999. Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement
negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a
Stipulation of Settlement, settling claims, subject to court approval, on behalf
of your partnership and all limited partners who owned units as of November 3,
1999. Preliminary approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999
from the Court, at which time the Court set a final approval hearing for
December 10, 1999. Prior to the December 10, 1999 hearing, the Court received
various objections to the settlement, including a challenge to the Court's
preliminary approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of prior lead
counsel to enter the settlement.

         On December 14, 1999, the general partner and its affiliates terminated
the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named
plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiffs' lead and liaison counsel who
negotiated the proposed settlement on behalf of plaintiffs. On June 27, 2000,
the Court entered an order disqualifying them from the case. An appeal was taken
from part of the June 27, 2000 order on October 5, 2000. Subsequently, certain
plaintiffs, specifically, BEJ Equity Partners and J-B Investment Partners,
withdrew as plaintiffs.

         On December 4, 2000, the Court appointed the law firm of Lieff Cabraser
Heimann & Bernstein LLP as new lead counsel for plaintiffs and the putative
class. Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on January 19, 2001 and the
general partner and its affiliates filed a demurrer to the third amended
complaint. On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an order granting in part and
denying in part defendants' demurrer. Among other things, the Court sustained
defendants' demurrer without leave to amend as to those derivative claims
involving partnerships in which the named plaintiffs did not own an interest.
The Court subsequently denied plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration.

         During the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action") was
filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned
Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. The Heller complaint was filed in order to
preserve the derivative claims that were dismissed without leave to amend in the
Nuanes action by the Court's July 10, 2001 Order. The first amended complaint in
the Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted
claims for among other things breach of fiduciary duty; unfair competition;
conversion, unjust enrichment; and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002,
however, the Court, on motion by the general partner and its affiliates, struck
the Heller complaint as a violation of its July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes
action. On March 27, 2002, plaintiffs in the Heller action filed a notice of
appeal of the Court's January 28, 2002 order striking the complaint.


                                      -31-

         Current Complaint

         The fourth amended complaint, which is the current complaint in the
action, was filed on September 7, 2001. The plaintiffs own interests in only
four of the 50 partnerships at issue. Plaintiffs Jeffrey Homburger, Sean
O'Reilly and Norman and Doris Rosenberg formally withdrew from the case on
August 20, 2001. The general partner and affiliated defendants filed a demurrer
to the fourth amended complaint, which the Court granted in part on January 28,
2002. The Court dismissed without leave to amend plaintiffs' state securities
fraud claim under California's Corporate Code Section 25400(b), plaintiffs'
contract claim arising out of the partnership agreements, plaintiffs' derivative
claim for statutory unfair competition as to those partnerships in which
plaintiffs lack representation, plaintiffs' conversion claim and plaintiffs'
claim under California's Corporation Code Section 15636.

         Only some of the remaining claims in the fourth amended complaint
relate to the partnership. Plaintiffs have alleged that affiliates of the
general partner have issued false and misleading tender offers beginning in 1998
and continuing through to the present for units in the partnership. Plaintiffs
allege violations of state securities fraud statutes and common law fraud
against both AIMCO and Insignia. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that the tender
offers have been misleading because they failed to disclose:

         -        that third parties would not use a property's historical
                  income, but would instead use a property's projected income,
                  in calculating a property's value based on the capitalization
                  method.

         -        that the property income figures used in the capitalization
                  method were artificially lower because AIMCO charges
                  management fees allegedly in excess of the market.

         -        that AIMCO allegedly deducted all capital expenditures from
                  property income despite an alleged AIMCO policy of deducting
                  only $250 to $300 per apartment unit.

         -        the rating for the condition of each property, any adjustment
                  made to the capitalization rate as a result, the interest rate
                  on mortgage debt for each property and any corresponding
                  adjustments in the capitalization rates.

         -        that AIMCO allegedly negotiated lower capitalization rates for
                  valuing properties it owns in connection with a revolving
                  credit facility.

         -        that AIMCO failed to disclose that the valuation methods
                  and/or policies it used for its own business purposes
                  allegedly differ from those used in the tender offers.

         -        internal valuations of the properties it used in connection
                  with the Insignia merger or the capitalization rates used in
                  connection with those valuations.

Plaintiffs have alleged that the general partner breached its fiduciary duty by
assisting Insignia and AIMCO in making the tender offers by providing financial
information, failing to correct supposedly misleading information given to
unitholders, recommending that the prices offered were fair and preventing third
parties from making tender offers. Plaintiffs have also included a statutory
unfair competition claim against all the defendants, a claim for tortious
interference with contract, unjust enrichment and judicial dissolution.

         On February 20, 2002, defendants filed a general denial of the material
allegations of the fourth amended complaint, denying each and every material
allegation and asserting several affirmative defenses.


                                      -32-

         Pending Motion For Class Certification.

         On February 11, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a
putative class comprised of all non-affiliated persons who own or have ever
owned units in your partnership or others. The partnership's general partner and
affiliated defendants oppose certification of such a class and filed an
opposition brief on March 26, 2002. On April 29, 2002, the Court heard argument
on the motion for class certification. The Court ordered additional briefing and
will take the matter under submission at that time.

         We cannot predict the outcome of these actions or the nature of any
final relief or settlement (if any) with respect to these actions, including
without limitation whether the actions discussed above will result in damages
being assessed against the general partner, AIMCO Properties, or any of the
defendants, nor the amount of any such damages. AIMCO Properties, the general
partner, and the affiliated defendants have contested the claims and will
vigorously defend the actions. Nevertheless, depending on the outcome of the
existing actions and appeal, current limited partners may later benefit from an
award of damages or from a settlement of the claims at issue.

         Although we cannot predict the outcome of these actions, including the
nature, if any, of any final relief or settlement, a limited partner who tenders
his units in the offer may not be able to participate in or benefit from any
such later relief or settlement. Limited partners will be expected to assign any
claims they have to the Purchaser as a condition of tendering their units. There
can be no assurance that a limited partner would not realize greater value for
his units by holding on to his units at this time and waiting for any such
relief or settlement in the future. We advise you to consult legal counsel if
you have any questions.

         Potential Settlement Discussions

         Although the parties have had discussions about structuring a potential
settlement to include tender offers at potentially higher prices than are
currently being offered, the parties have been unable to reach agreement upon
the terms of such a potential settlement.

         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP. Your partnership
files annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other
information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document your partnership
files at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., Chicago,
Illinois, and New York, New York. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for
further information on the public reference rooms. Your partnership's most
recent SEC filings are also available to the public at the SEC's web site at
http://www.sec.gov.

         The above discussion relating to capital expenditures at the Property
and valuations of the Property are forward-looking information developed by the
General Partner. These expectations incorporated various assumptions including,
but not limited to, revenue (including occupancy rates), various operating
expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation expenses, and
working capital levels. While the General Partner deemed such expectations to be
reasonable and valid at the date made, there is no assurance that the assumed
facts will be validated or that the results will actually occur. Any estimate of
the future performance of a business, such as your Partnership's business, is
forward-looking and based on assumptions some of which inevitably will prove to
be incorrect.

14.      VOTING POWER.

         Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership
are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of
your partnership is our subsidiary, we control the management of your
partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited
partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain
extraordinary transactions, including most amendments to the partnership
agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets.
Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units, we
control most voting decisions made by limited partners.

15.      SOURCE OF FUNDS.

         We expect that approximately $7,199,841 will be required to purchase
all of the limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer
(exclusive of fees and expenses estimated to be $11,000). For more information
regarding fees and expenses, see "The Offer--Section 19. Fees and Expenses."

         We have a $400 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America,
Fleet National Bank and First Union National Bank with a syndicate comprised of
a total of ten lender participants. AIMCO Properties, L.P. is the borrower and
all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by AIMCO and certain of its
subsidiaries. The obligations under the credit facility are secured, among other
things, by our pledge of our stock ownership in certain subsidiaries of AIMCO,
and a first priority pledge of certain of our non-real estate assets. The annual
interest rate under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate
which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or 0.5% over the federal
funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges
between 2.05% and 2.55% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and between 0.55% and
1.05% in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio.
Commencing August 1, 2002, through maturity the margin will range between 1.60%
and 2.35%, in the case of LIBOR based loans, and between 0.20% and 0.95% in the
case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit
facility expires in July 2004 and can be extended at AIMCO's option for a
one-year term.

         We are concurrently making offers to acquire interests in other limited
partnerships. We believe that we will have sufficient cash on hand and available
sources of financing to acquire all units tendered pursuant to the offers. As of
March 31, 2002, we had $107.3 million of cash on hand and $165.3 million
available for borrowing under existing lines of credit. We intend to repay any
amounts borrowed to finance the offer out of future working capital.

16.      DISSENTERS' RIGHTS.

         Neither the agreement of limited partnership of your partnership nor
applicable law provides any right for you to have your units appraised or
redeemed in connection with, or as a result of, our offer. You have the
opportunity to make an individual decision on whether or not to tender your
units in the offer.

17.      CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of our offer, we will not be
required to accept for payment and pay for any units tendered pursuant to our
offer, may postpone the purchase of, and payment for, units tendered, and may
terminate or amend our offer if at any time on or after the date of this offer
to purchase and at or before the expiration of our offer (including any
extension thereof), any of the following shall occur or may be reasonably
expected to occur:

         -        any change (or any condition, event or development involving a
                  prospective change) shall have occurred or been threatened in

                  operations, licenses or franchises, management contract, or
                  results of operations or prospects of your partnership or
                  local markets in which your partnership owns property,
                  including any fire, flood, natural disaster, casualty loss, or
                  act of God that, in our reasonable judgment, are or may be
                  materially adverse to your partnership or the value of the
                  units to us, or we shall have become aware of any facts
                  relating to your partnership, its indebtedness or its
                  operations which, in our reasonable judgment, has or may have
                  material significance with respect to the value of your
                  partnership or the value of the units to us; or

         -        there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of
                  trading in, or limitation on prices for, securities on any
                  national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market in

                  date of this offer and the close on the last trading day
                  preceding to the expiration of this offer, (iii) any
                  extraordinary or material adverse change in the financial,
                  real estate or money markets or major equity security indices
                  in the United States such that there shall have occurred at
                  least a 25 basis point increase in LIBOR, or at least a


                                      -34-

                  30-year Treasury Bond, or at least a 5.0% decrease in the S&P
                  500 Index or the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, in each case
                  measured between the close on the last trading day preceding
                  the date of this offer and the close on the last trading day
                  preceding the expiration of this offer, (iv) any material
                  adverse change in the commercial mortgage financing markets,
                  (v) a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of
                  payments in respect of banks in the United States (not
                  existing on the date hereof), (vi) a commencement of a war,
                  conflict, armed hostilities or other national or international
                  calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States
                  (not existing on the date hereof), (vii) any limitation
                  (whether or not mandatory) by any governmental authority on,
                  or any other event which, in our reasonable judgment, might
                  affect the extension of credit by banks or other lending
                  institutions, or (viii) in the case of any of the foregoing
                  existing at the time of the commencement of the offer, in our
                  reasonable judgment, a material acceleration or worsening
                  thereof; or

         -        there shall have been threatened, instituted or pending any
                  action, proceeding, application or counterclaim by any
                  Federal, state, local or foreign government, governmental
                  authority or governmental agency, or by any other person,
                  before any governmental authority, court or regulatory or
                  administrative agency, authority or tribunal, which (i)
                  challenges or seeks to challenge our purchase of the units,
                  restrains, prohibits or delays the making or consummation of
                  our offer, prohibits the performance of any of the contracts
                  or other arrangements entered into by us (or any affiliates of
                  ours), or seeks to obtain any material amount of damages as a
                  result of the transactions contemplated by our offer, (ii)
                  seeks to make the purchase of, or payment for, some or all of
                  the units pursuant to our offer illegal or results in a delay

                  operation by us or any of our affiliates of the entity serving
                  as general partner of your partnership or to remove such
                  entity as general partner of your partnership, or seeks to
                  impose any material limitation on our ability or the ability
                  of any affiliate of ours to conduct your partnership's
                  business or own such assets, (iv) seeks to impose material

                  limited to, the right to vote the units purchased by us on all
                  matters properly presented to the limited partners, or (v)
                  might result, in our reasonable judgment, in a diminution in
                  the value of your partnership or a limitation of the benefits
                  expected to be derived by us as a result of the transactions
                  contemplated by our offer or the value of the units to us; or

                  or any other action shall have been taken, proposed or
                  threatened, by any government, governmental authority or
                  court, that, in our reasonable judgment, might, directly or
                  indirectly, result in any of the consequences referred to in

         -        your partnership shall have (i) changed, or authorized a

                  limitation, units), or securities convertible into any such
                  equity interests or any rights, warrants or options to acquire
                  any such equity interests or convertible securities, or (B)

                  agreement, or intention to enter into an agreement, with
                  respect to any merger, consolidation, liquidation or business

18.      CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS.

         GENERAL. Except as set forth in this Section 18, we are not, based on
information provided by your general partner (which is our subsidiary), aware of
any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the business of
your partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely affected by our
acquisition of units as contemplated herein, or any filings, approvals or other
actions by or with any domestic or foreign governmental authority or
administrative or regulatory agency that would be required prior to the
acquisition of units by us pursuant to the offer, other than the filing of a
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC (which has already been
filed) and any required amendments thereto. While there is no present intent to
delay the purchase of units tendered pursuant to the offer pending receipt of
any such additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no
assurance that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be
obtained without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not
result to your partnership or its business, or that certain parts of its
business might not have to be disposed of or other substantial conditions
complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of which could
cause us to elect to terminate the offer without purchasing units thereunder.
Our obligation to purchase and pay for units is subject to certain conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 18.

         ANTITRUST. We do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of units
contemplated by our offer.

         MARGIN REQUIREMENTS. The units are not "margin securities" under the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to our offer.

         STATE LAWS. We are not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of
our offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If we become aware of any
jurisdiction in which the making of the offer would not be in compliance with
applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law.
If, after such good faith effort, we cannot comply with any such law, the offer
will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) limited
partners residing in such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions with securities
or blue sky laws


                                      -36-

that require the offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the offer
shall be made on behalf of us, if at all, only by one or more registered brokers
or dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction.

19.      FEES AND EXPENSES.

         You will not pay any partnership transfer fees if you tender your
units. Except as set forth herein, we will not pay any fees or commissions to
any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of units pursuant to
the offer. We have retained River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc. to act as
Information Agent in connection with our offer. The Information Agent may
contact holders of units by mail, e-mail, telephone, telex, telegraph and
personal interview and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee limited
partners to forward materials relating to the offer to beneficial owners of the
units. We will pay the Information Agent reasonable and customary compensation
for its services in connection with the offer, plus reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify it against certain liabilities and
expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under the Federal
securities laws. We will also pay all costs and expenses of printing and mailing
the offer and any related legal fees and expenses.

                           ---------------------------


         NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF US NOT CONTAINED HEREIN, IN THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND
AGREEMENT OR THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ATTACHED AS ANNEX II AND, IF GIVEN OR
MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATION MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN
AUTHORIZED.

         We have filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO,
pursuant to Section 14(d)(1) and Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, furnishing
certain additional information with respect to our offer, and may file
amendments thereto. Your partnership has filed with the SEC a
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 pursuant to Section
14(d)(4) and Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, furnishing certain additional
information about your partnership's and the general partner's position
concerning our offer, and your partnership may file amendments thereto. The
Schedules TO and 14D-9 and any amendments to either Schedule, including
exhibits, may be inspected and copies may be obtained at the same place and in
the same manner as described in "The Offer-Section 13. Certain Information
concerning your Partnership--Additional Information concerning your
Partnership."

         The acknowledgment and agreement and any other required documents
should be sent or delivered by each limited partner or such limited partner's
broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee to the Information Agent at

effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby and thereby,
the Signatory hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the Partnership
as a limited partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Upon request,
the Signatory will execute and deliver additional documents deemed by the
Information Agent or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the
assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and thereby and will
hold any distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration Date
in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly
forward to the Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The
Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from
time to

                                Annex II - Page 2

time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered
pursuant to the offer to purchase, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the offer to purchase or
prejudice the rights of tendering limited partners to receive payment for Units
validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer to purchase.

    By executing the enclosed Acknowledgment and Agreement, the Signatory
represents that either (i) the Signatory is not a plan subject to Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or
an entity deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101 of any such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant
to the offer to purchase will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

    The Signatory understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the Signatory and the Purchaser upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the offer to purchase. The Signatory
recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the offer to purchase,
the Purchaser may not be required to accept for consideration any or all of the
Units tendered hereby. In such event, the Signatory understands that any
Acknowledgment and Agreement for Units not accepted for payment may be returned
to the Signatory or destroyed by the Purchaser (or its agent). THIS TENDER IS
IRREVOCABLE, EXCEPT THAT UNITS TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER TO PURCHASE MAY BE
WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OR ON OR AFTER JULY 8, 2002
IF UNITS VALIDLY TENDERED HAVE NOT BEEN ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT.

      THE SIGNATORY HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PURCHASER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE GENERAL PARTNER DOES NOT MAKE ANY
RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE
OFFER TO PURCHASE. THE SIGNATORY HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION TO TENDER
UNITS. THE SIGNATORY ALSO REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE OR SHE WAS ADVISED TO
CONSULT AN ATTORNEY WITH RESPECT TO HIS OR HER DECISION WHETHER TO TENDER
HIS/HER INTEREST(S).

    The Signatory hereby and thereby represents and warrants for the benefit of
the Partnership and the Purchaser that the Signatory owns the Units tendered
hereby and thereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary
action to validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units
tendered hereby and thereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by
the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered
title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances,
conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or
transfer thereof, and such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and
that the transfer and assignment contemplated herein and therein are in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

    All authority herein or therein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall
survive the death or incapacity of the Signatory, and any obligations of the
Signatory shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the Signatory.

    The Signatory represents and warrants that, to the extent a certificate
evidencing the Units tendered hereby and thereby (the "original certificate") is
not delivered by the Signatory together with the Acknowledgment and Agreement,
(i) the Signatory represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the Signatory
has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited or otherwise
disposed of any portion of the Units, (ii) the Signatory has caused a diligent
search of its records to be taken and has been unable to locate the original
certificate, (iii) if the Signatory shall find or recover the original
certificate evidencing the Units, the Signatory will immediately and without
consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the Signatory shall at all
times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Purchaser and the Partnership,
its successors, and its assigns from and against any and all claims, actions,
and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, charges, counsel fees, and other
expenses of every nature and character by reason of honoring or refusing to
honor the original certificate when presented by or on behalf of a holder in due
course of a holder appearing to or believed by the Partnership to be such, or by
issuance or delivery of a replacement certificate, or the making of any payment,
delivery, or credit in respect of the original certificate without surrender
thereof, or in respect of the replacement certificate.

4. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The limited partner(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the limited partner(s)'
taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as true, under penalties of
perjury, the representations in Box 6 and Box 7 of the Acknowledgment and
Agreement. By signing the Signature Box, the limited partner(s) certifies that
the TIN as printed (or corrected) on Acknowledgment and Agreement in the box
entitled "Description of Units Tendered" and the representations made in Box 6
and Box 7 of the Acknowledgment and Agreement are correct. See attached
Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9 for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.

U.S. PERSONS. A limited partner that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic trust or
a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms are defined in
the Code, should follow the instructions below with respect to certifying Box 6
and Box 7 of the Acknowledgment and Agreement.

BOX 6 - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.

Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering limited partners must
certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on the
Acknowledgment and Agreement in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered"
is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the limited partner being
subject to backup withholding.

Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 30% Federal income tax backup
withholding, the tendering limited partner must certify, under penalty of
perjury, that such limited partner is not subject to backup withholding. Certain
limited partners (including, among others, all corporations and certain exempt
non-profit organizations) are not subject to backup withholding. Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment
of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following as a
guide:

Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.

Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears first.

Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.

IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not necessary
to provide).

Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN of the
minor.

Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect the TIN
assigned to that entity.

By signing the Signature Box, the limited partner(s) certifies that the TIN as
printed (or corrected) on the front of the Acknowledgment and Agreement is
correct.


                                      -2-

BOX 7 - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each limited
partner transferring interests in a partnership with real estate assets meeting
certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the representations made in
Box 7, or be subject to withholding of tax equal to 10% of the consideration for
interests purchased. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is not an
additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be
claimed from the IRS.

FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering limited partner who is a Foreign
Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as exempt from 30%
backup withholding, such foreign limited partner must submit a statement, signed
under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. Forms
for such statements can be obtained from the Information Agent.

5. VALIDITY OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of an
Acknowledgment and Agreement and other required documents will be determined by
the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The Purchaser's
interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including these
Instructions for the Acknowledgment and Agreement) will be final and binding.
The Purchaser will have the right to waive any irregularities or conditions as
to the manner of tendering. Any irregularities in connection with tenders,
unless waived, must be cured within such time as the Purchaser shall determine.
The Acknowledgment and Agreement will not be valid until any irregularities have
been cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are under
any duty to give notification of defects in an Acknowledgment and Agreement and
will incur no liability for failure to give such notification.

6. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the Information
Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, such person's
status as an assignee.

7. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the
registered holder or such person) payable on account of the transfer to such
person will be deducted from the consideration unless satisfactory evidence of
the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.

8. SPECIAL PAYMENT AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If consideration is to be issued
in the name of a person other than the person signing the Signature Box of the
Acknowledgment and Agreement or if consideration is to be sent to someone other
than such signer or to an address other than that set forth on the
Acknowledgment and Agreement in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Acknowledgment and Agreement must be
completed.

numbers for identification purposes. Payers must be given the numbers whether or
not recipients are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold
30% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who
does not furnish a correct taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain
penalties may also apply.

    PENALTIES

    (1) PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER -- If you
fail to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are
subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to
reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

    (2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING -- If
you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no
imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

    (3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION -- Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.
