                                  (AIMCO LOGO)

                             AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
        is offering to purchase any and all limited partnership units in

                        NATIONAL PROPERTY INVESTORS III
                          FOR $178.35 PER UNIT IN CASH

    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, we will
accept any and all units validly tendered in response to our offer.

    You will not pay any partnership transfer fees if you tender your units
pursuant to this offer. You will pay any other fees or costs, including any
transfer taxes.

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

    Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at midnight, New York City
time, on March 17, 2005, unless we extend the deadline.

    The general partner of your partnership does not make any recommendation
regarding whether you should accept this offer. You are encouraged to carefully
review this Offer to Purchase and any other information available to you and to
seek advice from your independent lawyer, tax advisor and/or financial advisor
with respect to your particular circumstances before deciding whether or not to
accept this 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:

    - If you want to tender your units in the offer, you must sign a letter of
      transmittal in which you release us from all liability, except as
      otherwise provided in Section 3 herein, with respect to any and all claims
      through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal,
      including, but not limited to, those claims that were brought or that
      could have been brought in the Nuanes and Heller litigation brought on
      behalf of limited partners in your partnership and others, and assign to
      us your rights in any future claims. If you requested exclusion from the
      settlement of this litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter
      of transmittal, you will release us from any claims that you would
      otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement
      class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any known or
      unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the
      judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the
      enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims
      even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal, as well
      as any other claims through and including the date of execution of the
      letter of transmittal.

    - We determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your
      partnership units based on an aggregate gross property value of
      $43,896,146. The aggregate gross property value is the sum of the property
      values for each of your partnership's properties, as estimated by us,
      before reduction for any prepayment penalties. Our estimate of the
      aggregate gross property value is approximately 92% of the aggregate
      appraised value of your partnership's properties, as determined by the
      independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003. As a result, our offer
      price is less than our estimate of the liquidation proceeds that would be
      payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold at prices equal
      to their 2003 appraised values, which we estimate to be $264.92 per unit.

    - Our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the
      2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties and does not take into
      account any increases in property income that may result in the future.
      Our offer price might be higher if it were based on a more recent
      appraisal of your partnership's properties, or if it took into account any
      expected improvements in property income.

(Continued on next page)

    If you decide to accept our offer, you must complete and sign the enclosed
letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and mail or
deliver the signed letter of transmittal and any other required documents to The
Altman Group, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in connection with our
offer, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to
Purchase. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THIS
OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR FOR A COMPLETE COPY OF AN
APPRAISAL OF ANY OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES MAY ALSO BE DIRECTED TO THE
INFORMATION AGENT AT (800) 467-0821.

                               February 16, 2005


(Continued from prior page)

    - Our offer price was determined without any arms-length negotiations. If
      your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, the value of the
      assets would be determined through negotiations with third parties, who
      may be willing to pay more for your partnership's properties than the
      value we used to calculate our offer price. Although the actual proceeds
      you might receive in a liquidation are uncertain, they could exceed our
      offer price. Similarly, other persons might ascribe a value to your
      partnership units that is higher than our offer price. As a result, you
      might be able to sell your units to a third party at a price that exceeds
      our offer price.

    - Your general partner and the property manager are affiliates of ours and,
      therefore, your general partner 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.

    - If we do not acquire all of the outstanding units in your partnership, it
      is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price, although
      we have no obligation or current intention to do so.

    - 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 because each limited partner's circumstances may differ
      from those of other limited partners.

    THE GENERAL PARTNER DOES NOT MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION REGARDING WHETHER YOU
SHOULD ACCEPT THIS OFFER. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO
PURCHASE, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF
YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO
YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS
OFFER.

                               SUMMARY TERM SHEET

     This summary term sheet highlights the 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. Unless
otherwise indicated, references in this Offer to Purchase to "we," "our," "us"
or "AIMCO Properties" refer to AIMCO Properties, L.P., and references to
"general partner" refer to NPI Equity Investments, Inc.

     - The Offer.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
       this Offer to Purchase, we are offering to acquire limited partnership
       units of Century Properties Growth Fund XXII, your partnership, for
       $178.35 per unit in cash. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the
       Offer; Expiration Date," "-- Section 7. Effects of the Offer" and
       "-- Section 8. Valuation of Units."

     - The Litigation Settlement.  As part of the settlement of a class and
       derivative litigation entitled Nuanes et al. v. Insignia Financial Group,
       Inc. et al. and Heller v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. on
       behalf of your partnership and limited partners in your partnership and
       others (the "Nuanes and Heller litigation", we previously offered to
       acquire any and all of the limited partnership units of your partnership
       for $153.85 per unit in cash. THIS OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE AS PART OF THE
       SETTLEMENT.

       If you requested exclusion from the settlement but tender your units, by
       signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from claims that
       you would otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the
       settlement class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any
       known or unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation
       if the judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By
       executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release
       those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on
       appeal. See "-- Release and Assignment of Future Claims" below.

       IF YOU DID NOT REQUEST EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT, YOU WILL BE
       ENTITLED TO RECEIVE YOUR PRO RATA SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND ($13.41
       PER UNIT), WHETHER OR NOT YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO THIS OFFER,
       PROVIDED THAT THE COURT'S ORDER APPROVING THE SETTLEMENT AND ENTERING
       JUDGMENT THERETO IS AFFIRMED ON APPEAL AND IS FINAL. IF THE COURT'S ORDER
       IS REVERSED OR VACATED BY VIRTUE OF THE APPEAL, HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE
       ENTITLED TO RECEIVE A PRO RATA SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND. FOR
       ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE SETTLEMENT, SEE "THE
       OFFER -- SECTION 9. THE LAWSUIT AND SETTLEMENT."

     - Factors in Determining the Offer Price.  In determining the offer price
       per unit we principally considered:

      - the 2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties;

      - the location, condition and debt structure of your partnership's
        properties, including the prepayment penalty associated with the
        mortgages for these properties;

      - the current economic conditions in the local market in which the
        properties are located; and

      - your partnership's other assets and liabilities.

      - Price May Not Reflect Fair Market Value.  In deciding whether or not to
        accept our offer, you should consider the fact that, based on the
        valuation in 2003 of your partnership's properties by American Appraisal
        Associates, Inc., we estimate that the net liquidation proceeds per unit
        would be approximately $264.92, which is higher than our offer price of
        $178.35. Our offer price does not take into account any increase in
        value since the 2003 appraisal was completed, and does not take into
        account any increases in property income that may result in the future.

     - Expiration Date.  Our offer expires on March 17, 2005, unless extended,
       and you can tender your units until our offer expires. See "The
       Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date."

                                        1


     - Right to Extend the Expiration Date.  We can extend the expiration date
       of the offer in our reasonable discretion. We reserve the right to extend
       the offer subject to customary conditions. In the event we extend the
       offer, we will either issue a press release or other public announcement
       no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day
       after the scheduled expiration date of the offer, in accordance with Rule
       14e-1(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 letter of
       transmittal and send it, along with any other documents required by the
       letter of transmittal, to the Information Agent, The Altman Group, 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."

     - Release and Assignment of Future Claims.  If you want to tender your
       units in the offer, you must sign a letter of transmittal in which you
       release us from all liability, except as otherwise provided in Section 3
       herein, with respect to any and all claims through and including the date
       of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited to,
       those claims that were brought or that could have been brought in the
       Nuanes and Heller litigation, and assign to us your rights in any future
       claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement of the Nuanes and
       Heller litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter of
       transmittal, you will release us from claims that you would otherwise
       have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you
       did not request exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims
       arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving
       the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of
       transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment
       is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal, as well as any other claims
       through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal.

     - 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 April 17, 2005 if we have not
       already accepted units for purchase and payment. If you properly withdraw
       all of the units you previously tendered in the offer, the corresponding
       letter of transmittal, including your release and assignment of future
       claims contained therein, will be deemed revoked and of no force or
       effect. 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. Material
       Federal Income Tax Matters."

     - Availability of Funds.  We intend to pay the purchase price for any units
       tendered from our existing cash balances or borrowings under our line of
       credit. See "The Offer -- Section 17. Source of Funds."

     - Conditions to the Offer.  There are a number of conditions to our offer,
       including the absence of competing tender offers, that there be no
       material change with respect to our financial condition and the absence
       of certain changes in the financial markets. See "The Offer -- Section
       19. Conditions to the Offer."

     - Remaining as a Limited Partner.  If you do not tender your units, you
       will remain a limited partner in your partnership. We have no plans to
       alter the operations, business or financial position of your partnership.
       However, if there are fewer than 300 unitholders in your partnership as a
       result of the offer, your partnership will no longer be required to file
       periodic reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-KSB
       containing annual audited financial statements, and quarterly

                                        2


       reports on Form 10-QSB containing unaudited financial statements. See
       "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer."

     - Who We Are.  We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of
       Apartment Investment and Management Company, a New York Stock
       Exchange-listed company. See "The Offer -- Section 10. Information
       Concerning Us and Certain of Our Affiliates."

     - Conflicts of Interest.  NHP Management Company (which is our affiliate)
       receives fees for managing your partnership's properties and the general
       partner of your partnership (which is our affiliate) is entitled to
       receive asset management fees and reimbursement of certain expenses
       involving your partnership and its properties. 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 13. Conflicts of Interest and
       Transactions with Affiliates" and "-- Section 15. 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. Each limited partner should make his
       or her own decision whether or not to tender. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO
       CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION
       AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX
       ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR
       CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER. See
       "The Offer -- Section 12. Position of the General Partner of Your
       Partnership With Respect to the Offer."

     - Fairness of the Offer.  Although we, Apartment Investment and Management
       Company ("AIMCO") and AIMCO-GP, Inc. (collectively, the "AIMCO Entities")
       and your general partner have interests that may conflict with those of
       the partnership's unaffiliated limited partners, each of the AIMCO
       Entities believes that the offer price and the offer are fair to the
       unaffiliated limited partners of your partnership. This determination is
       based on the information and the factors set forth under "The
       Offer -- Section 12. Position of the General Partner of Your Partnership
       With Respect to the Offer."

     - No Subsequent Offering Period.  We do not currently 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 Offer Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent
       Offering Period."

     - Additional Information.  For 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 YOUR UNITS IN THIS OFFER, YOU WILL RELEASE US FROM ALL LIABILITY
AND ASSIGN TO US YOUR RIGHTS IN ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THROUGH AND INCLUDING THE
DATE OF EXECUTION OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THOSE CLAIMS RELATING TO THE NUANES AND HELLER LITIGATION, WHETHER OR NOT YOU
REQUESTED EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT AND WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGMENT IS
REVERSED ON APPEAL.

     If you want to tender your units in response to our offer, you must sign a
letter of transmittal, in which you release us and our affiliates from all
liability, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 herein, with respect to any
and all claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of
transmittal, including, but not limited to, those claims that were brought or
that could have been brought in the Nuanes and Heller litigation brought on
behalf of limited partners in your partnership and others, and assign to us your
rights in any future claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement of
this litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter of transmittal, you
will release us from claims that you would otherwise have preserved by
requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request
exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the
Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is
affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover,
you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise
vacated on appeal, as well as any other claims through and including the date of
execution of the letter of transmittal.

OUR OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR UNITS.

     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 IS LESS THAN THE LIQUIDATION VALUE IMPLIED BY THE 2003
APPRAISAL.

     We determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your
partnership units based on an aggregate gross property value of $43,896,146. The
aggregate gross property value is the sum of the property values for each of
your partnership's properties, as estimated by us, before reduction for any
prepayment penalties. Our estimate of the aggregate gross property value is
approximately 92% of the aggregate market value of your partnership's
properties, as determined by the independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003.
As a result, our offer price is less than our estimate of the liquidation
proceeds that would be payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold
at prices equal to their 2003 appraised values, which we estimate to be $264.92
per unit.

OUR OFFER PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT FACTORS SUBSEQUENT TO 2003 THAT MAY HAVE
INCREASED THE VALUE OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP UNITS.

     Our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the
2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties and does not take into account
any increases in property income that may result in the future. Our offer price
might be higher if it were based on a more recent appraisal of your
partnership's properties, or if it took into account any expected improvements
in property income.

OUR OFFER PRICE WAS DETERMINED WITHOUT ANY ARMS-LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS, WHICH MIGHT
RESULT IN A HIGHER VALUE FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP UNITS.

     Our offer price was determined without any arms-length negotiations. If
your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, the value of the assets
would be determined through negotiations with third parties, who may be willing
to pay more for your partnership's properties than the value we used to
calculate our offer price. Although the actual proceeds you might receive in a
liquidation are uncertain, they could

                                        4


exceed our offer price. Similarly, other persons might ascribe a value to your
partnership units that is higher than our offer price. As a result, you might be
able to sell your units to a third party at a price that exceeds our offer
price.

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

     Your general partner, which is our affiliate, is proposing to continue to
operate your partnership and not to attempt to liquidate it at the present time.
Your partnership's prospectus, dated October 24, 1979, pursuant to which units
in your partnership were sold, indicates that your partnership was intended to
be self-liquidating and that it was anticipated that the partnership's
properties would be sold within 5 to 10 years of their acquisition, subject to
market conditions. 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 2005. It is not known when the
properties 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 selling the
properties would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition of
the properties and tax considerations. In particular, the general partner
considered the changes in the local rental markets, 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 properties 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. In addition, at the current time, the general
partner of your partnership believes that selling the properties would not be
advantageous given market conditions, the condition of the properties and tax
considerations. If your partnership's properties were sold in the future and the
net proceeds realized therefrom were distributed to the limited partners of your
partnership, the amount of such distributions might exceed our current offer
price.

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

     The general partner of your partnership is our affiliate 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 REGARDING THIS OFFER.

     The general partner of your partnership (which is our affiliate) makes no
recommendation as to whether or not you should tender or refrain from tendering
your units because each limited partner's circumstances may differ from those of
other limited partners. Although the general partner believes the offer is fair,
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. You are encouraged to carefully
review this Offer to Purchase and any other information available to you and to
seek advice from your independent lawyer, tax advisor and/or financial advisor
with respect to your particular circumstances before deciding whether or not to
accept this offer.

                                        5


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

     Because we or our subsidiaries receive fees for managing your partnership
and its properties, 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.

IF WE DO NOT ACQUIRE ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING UNITS IN THIS OFFER, WE MAY MAKE A
FUTURE OFFER AT A HIGHER PRICE.

     It is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price,
although we have no obligation or current intention to do so. Our decision to
conduct a future offer will depend on, among other things, the performance of
the partnership, prevailing economic conditions, and our interest in acquiring
additional units.

YOUR TAX LIABILITY RESULTING FROM A SALE OF YOUR UNITS COULD EXCEED OUR OFFER
PRICE.

     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 your unit. Depending on your basis in the units and your tax position, your
tax liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer could
exceed our offer price. 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. We may also be required by state or local tax laws to withhold a portion
of our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering units will
not be the same for everyone, you should consult your tax advisor to determine
the tax consequences of the offer to you.

YOU MAY RECOGNIZE TAXABLE GAIN FOR RELEASE AND ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS.

     If you requested exclusion from the settlement or the Court's order
approving the settlement is reversed or vacated by virtue of the appeal, a
portion of the price paid to you may be deemed a payment for your release and
assignment of claims. The proper treatment for federal income tax purposes of
your receipt of any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims is
uncertain. No opinion or assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") will not challenge the treatment of any deemed payments for
your release and assignment of claims as additional consideration for the units,
and assert that such amount should be treated as an ordinary income payment in
exchange for your release and/or assignment of current and future claims. You
should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you with
respect to your right to, and your receipt of, any deemed payments for your
release and assignment of claims.

IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS 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 a
property owned by your partnership.

                                        6


YOU COULD RECOGNIZE GAIN IN THE EVENT OF A FUTURE 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 your share of the partnership liabilities. If you retain all
or a portion of your units and your share of the partnership liabilities 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.

WE COULD DELAY 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 in our reasonable discretion, and no payment will be made in
respect of tendered units until the expiration of the offer and acceptance of
units for payment. We will pay for or return tendered units promptly after
expiration of the offer.

THERE MAY BE A POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
PARTNERSHIP AS A RESULT OF THIS OFFER.

     If there are less than 300 unitholders in your partnership upon
consummation of the offer, your partnership would no longer be required to file
periodic reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-KSB containing
annual audited financial statements, and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB
containing unaudited quarterly financial statements. Such reports are publicly
available and can be obtained on the SEC's web site. The lack of such filings
could adversely affect the already limited secondary market which currently
exists for units in your partnership and may discourage offers to purchase your
units. In such a case, you would regularly have access only to the information
your partnership's agreement of limited partnership requires your general
partner (which is our affiliate) to provide each year, which consists primarily
of tax information. See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer -- Effect
on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act."

                                   THE OFFER

1.  TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE

     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will accept
(and thereby purchase) any and all 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 March 17,
2005, unless we in our reasonable discretion shall have extended the period of
time for which the offer is open. 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 or declared 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.

     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 19. Conditions to 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. By executing the letter of
transmittal, you will agree that the transfer of units will be deemed to take
effect as of the first day of the calendar quarter in which the offer expires.
Upon expiration of the offer, the books and records of the partnership will
reflect the change in ownership as having occurred as of this date. For tax,
accounting and financial reporting purposes, the transfer of tendered units will
be deemed to take effect on the first day of the calendar quarter. Accordingly,
all profits and losses relating to any tendered units will be allocated to us
from and after this date. If we waive any material conditions to our offer, we
will notify you and, if necessary, we will extend the offer period so that you
will have at least five business days from the date of our notice to withdraw
your units. The transfer of units will be effective the first day of the
calendar quarter in which the offer expires.

     This offer is being mailed on or about February 16, 2005 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, any and all units validly
tendered promptly 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 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
letter of transmittal and other documents required by the letter of transmittal.
See "The Offer -- Section 3.

                                        8


Procedure for Tendering Units." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON
THE OFFER PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT.

     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 letter of transmittal 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 April 17, 2005, 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 letter of transmittal, and any other required
documents must be received by the Information Agent, at one of its addresses set
forth on the back cover of this Offer to 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 letter of transmittal 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 letter of transmittal. 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 letter of transmittal. However, in all other cases, all signatures on the
letter of transmittal 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 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 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 letter of
transmittal, you are irrevocably appointing us and our designees as your proxy,
in the manner set forth in the letter of transmittal 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

                                        9


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. By executing the letter of
transmittal, 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 letter of transmittal, 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.

     Assignment of Interest in Future Distributions.  By executing the letter of
transmittal, 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.

     Release of Claims.  By executing the letter of transmittal, effective upon
acceptance for payment of the units tendered by you, you will, on behalf of
yourself, your heirs, estate, executor, administrator, successors and assigns,
and your partnership, fully, finally and forever release, relinquish and
discharge us and our predecessors, successors and assigns and our present and
former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, investors, insurers, reinsurers,
officers, directors, employees, agents, administrators, auditors, attorneys,
accountants, information and solicitation agents, investment bankers, and other
representatives, including but not limited to AIMCO Properties, L.P.
(collectively, the "Releasees"), from any and all claims and causes of action,
whether brought individually, on behalf of a class, or derivatively, demands,
rights, or liabilities, including, but not limited to, claims for negligence,
gross negligence, professional negligence, breach of duty of care or loyalty, or
breach of duty of candor, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, mismanagement,
corporate waste, malpractice, misrepresentation, whether intentional or
negligent, misstatements and omissions to disclose, breach of contract,
violations of any state or federal statutes, rules

                                        10


or regulations, whether known claims or unknown claims that have been asserted
or that could have been asserted against the Releasees, through and including
the date of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited
to, those claims that arise out of or relate to (a) those matters and claims set
forth in the Nuanes and Heller litigation, (b) the ownership of one or more
units in your partnership, including but not limited to, any and all claims
related to the management of your partnership or the properties owned by your
partnership (whether currently or previously), the payment of management fees or
other monies to the general partner of your partnership and its affiliates,
prior acquisitions or tender offers and the prior settlement, (c) the purchase,
acquisition, holding, sale, tender or voting of one or more units in your
partnership, or (d) any of the facts, circumstances, allegations, claims, causes
of action, representations, statements, reports, disclosures, transactions,
events, occurrences, acts, omissions or failures to act, of whatever kind or
character whatsoever, irrespective of the state of mind of the actor performing
or omitting to perform the same, that have been or could have been alleged in
any pleadings, amended pleading, argument, complaint, amended complaint, brief,
motion, report or filing in the Nuanes and Heller litigation (collectively, the
"Released Claims"); provided, however, that the Released Claims are not intended
to include (i) any unrelated claims that are unique to a limited partner or
settlement class member (e.g., a settlement class member slips and falls on
property owned by one of the defendants in the Nuanes and Heller litigation,
loses or did not receive a distribution check distributed to other limited
partners in such partnership, or is an employee of one of the defendants and has
an employee related claim), (ii) any claim based upon violations of federal or
state securities laws in connection with this offer, and (iii) any right to your
pro rata share of the settlement fund in the Nuanes and Heller settlement,
assuming that you are otherwise eligible, and the settlement and judgment
thereto become final.

     In addition, you will expressly waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent
permitted by law and consistent with the releases described herein, the
provisions, rights and benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California
("Section 1542"), which provides:

     A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
     KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
     WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
     DEBTOR.

     You will have also waived any and all provisions, rights and benefits
conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or
principle of common law, that is similar, comparable or equivalent to Section
1542. You may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those
which you now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of
the Released Claims, but you will be deemed to have fully, finally and forever
settled and released any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, that now exist or heretofore have
existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing, including, but not
limited to, conduct that is negligent, intentional, with or without malice, or a
breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery of
the existence of such different or additional facts.

     You will acknowledge and agree that the releases contained in the letter of
transmittal are intended to include the Released Claims, which you may have and
which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor against the Releasees
and that the releases contained in the letter of transmittal extinguish those
claims. You will represent and warrant to the Releasees that you have been
advised by your attorney of the effect and import of the provisions of Section
1542, and that you have not assigned or otherwise transferred or subrogated any
interest in the Released Claims.

     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

                                        11


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. If we
waive any of the conditions to the offer with respect to the tender of a
particular unit or with respect to a particular limited partner, we will waive
such condition with respect to all other tenders of units or all other limited
partners in this offer as well. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions
of the offer (including 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 with respect to payment of the offer
price, you must provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number. See
the instructions to the letter of transmittal and "The Offer -- Section 6.
Material Federal Income Tax Matters."

     State and Local Withholding.  If you tender any units pursuant to this
offer, we may be required under state or local tax laws to deduct and withhold a
portion of our offer price. You should consult your tax advisor concerning
whether any state or local withholding would be required on a disposition of
your units and whether such amounts may be available to you as a credit on your
state or local tax returns.

     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 letter of transmittal and "The
Offer -- Section 6. Material 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 letter of transmittal.

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 April 17, 2005 if the
units have not been previously accepted for payment. If you properly withdraw
all of the units you previously tendered in the offer, the corresponding letter
of transmittal, including your release and assignment of future claims contained
therein, will be deemed revoked and of no force or effect.

     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 this 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 letter of transmittal in the same manner as the letter of
transmittal 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.

                                        12


     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, at any time
and from time to time, (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 to the offer are not
satisfied, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in "The
Offer -- Section 19. Conditions to the Offer" relating to necessary government
approvals, 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). We will not assert any of the conditions to the offer (other than those
relating to necessary governmental approvals) subsequent to the expiration of
the offer. 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-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 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 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 this 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

                                        13


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. We do
not currently intend to offer a subsequent offering period.

6.  MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

     The following summary is a discussion of the material 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 "Code"), Treasury Regulations, rulings issued by 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 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 are held by limited partners for investment purposes (commonly referred to
as "capital assets"), and are not held by partners for sale to customers as
dealer property under the Code. 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.  The sale of
a unit of limited partnership interest pursuant to this offer will be a taxable
transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. You will recognize
gain or loss on a sale of a unit of limited partnership interest of your
partnership equal to the difference, if any, between (i) your "amount realized"
on the sale and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the unit sold. The "amount
realized" with respect to a unit 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 your unit (as determined under Section 752
of the Code). Thus, your 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 (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, and may result in a tax
liability to you that exceeds the cash received upon such sale.

                                        14


     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 15%. 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 15%) with respect to that portion of the gain attributable to
depreciation deductions previously taken on the property. Certain limitations
apply to the use of capital losses.

     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 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 will no longer be
suspended and will 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.

     Release and Assignment of Claims.  If you requested exclusion from the
settlement or the Court's order approving the settlement is reversed or vacated
by virtue of the appeal, a portion of the price paid to you may be deemed a
payment for your release and assignment of claims. The proper treatment for
federal income tax purposes of your receipt of any deemed payments for your
release and assignment of claims is uncertain. No opinion or assurance can be
given that the IRS will not challenge the treatment of any deemed payments for
your release and assignment of claims as additional consideration for the units,
and assert that such amount should be treated as an ordinary income payment in
exchange for your release and/or assignment of current and future claims. You
should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax

                                        15


consequences to you with respect to your right to, and your receipt of, any
deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims.

     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 with respect to the payment
of the offer consideration, you are generally required to provide us with your
correct taxpayer identification number. Back-up withholding is not an additional
tax. Any amounts withheld under the back-up withholding rules may be refunded or
credited against your United States federal income tax liability, if any,
provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal.

     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 Code, if we acquire an
interest held by a foreign person, we will be required to deduct and withhold
10% of the amount realized by such foreign person 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 letter of transmittal.

     State and Local Withholding.  If you tender any units pursuant to this
offer, we may be required under state or local tax laws to deduct and withhold a
portion of our offer price. You should consult your tax advisor concerning
whether any state or local withholding would be required on a disposition of
your units and whether such amounts may be available to you as a credit on your
state or local tax returns.

     Tax Consequences to the General Partner of Your Partnership and its
Affiliates, including AIMCO Properties, L.P.  The sale of your units pursuant to
this offer will not be a taxable transaction for the general partner of your
partnership or its affiliates, including AIMCO Properties, L.P. Consequently,
the general partner of your partnership and its affiliates will not recognize
gain or loss in connection with this offer. We, like any other purchaser of
units, will receive a tax basis in the purchased units equal to the
consideration paid by us for the units plus the allocable share of debt with
respect to such units. This tax basis will be allocated over the assets owned by
your partnership, and we will be able to take depreciation and amortization
deductions to the extent basis is allocated to depreciable or amortizable
property owned by your partnership.

7.  EFFECTS OF THE OFFER

     Because the general partner of your partnership is our affiliate, we have
control over the management of your partnership. We are affiliated with the
company that currently manages the properties owned by your partnership. In
addition, we, together with AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which is our affiliate), own
36,316 units, or 75.58%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because
we and our affiliate 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. 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. In the event that we
acquire a substantial number of units pursuant to this offer, removal of the
property manager may become more difficult or impossible.

     If we acquire all of the units that we are seeking in the offer, our
interest in your partnership's net earnings ($10,822,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004) and net book value ($(20,942,000) as of September 30,
2004) will increase to 100%. AIMCO-GP owns a 1% interest in AIMCO Properties,
L.P. and AIMCO, through its subsidiaries, owns an 89% interest in AIMCO
Properties.

                                        16


     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.  The rules regarding whether a partnership is treated
as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation are not certain. We
believe that 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, because, taking into account
all of the facts and circumstances, the general partner of your partnership
believes that the partnership interests in your partnership should not be
treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent
thereof.

     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 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 property.

     Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act.  If a substantial number of units are purchased pursuant to the offer, the
result will be a reduction in the number of limited partners 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 845 unitholders. The lack
of filing periodic reports could affect the already limited secondary market
which currently exists for units in your partnership and may result in others
not tendering for such units. In such a case, you would regularly have access
only to the limited information your partnership's agreement of limited
partnership requires your general partner (which is our affiliate) to provide
each year, which information consists primarily of tax information. In
particular, you will continue to receive a Schedule K-1 each year as well as
audited financial statements with respect to your partnership. A Schedule K-1 is
an information statement that contains tax information for the fiscal year of
your partnership, such as your allocation of income, deductions, credits, gains
and losses of your partnership for federal income tax purposes. In comparison,
the periodic reports filed by your partnership under the Exchange Act contain
your partnership's annual and quarterly financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These periodic reports
filed under the Exchange Act also include information regarding your
partnership's business and property and a discussion regarding your
partnership's financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, your
partnership will not be required to provide current reports on Form 8-K,
describing certain material events. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the
Offer; Expiration Date."

     Costs Associated with Being a Public Company.  There are various costs
associated with being a public company, including costs associated with
preparing, auditing and filing our periodic reports with the SEC. We estimate
these expenses to be approximately $35,000 per year. This represents
approximately 13% of the partnership's general and administrative expenses and
0.50% of the partnership's total expenses (based on 2003 expenses of
approximately $267,000 and $7,019,000, respectively). In addition, as a result
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we estimate our costs will increase by
approximately 10% beginning in

                                        17


2005. If the partnership were to terminate its registration under the Exchange
Act, the estimated cost savings would be approximately $35,000.

     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.

8.  VALUATION OF UNITS

     Determination of Offer Price.  We determined the offer price by estimating
the liquidation proceeds that would be payable to limited partners if
calculating a net equity value of units of limited partnership based on a
valuation of your partnership's properties. Our starting point in this process
was the value of each of your partnership's properties, as determined by the
court-appointed, independent appraiser in 2003. For a more detailed description
of the independent appraisals of your partnership's properties, see "The
Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units; Estimated Liquidation Proceeds Based on
Independent Appraisal."

     For Pinetree Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of
$5,376,146, which is approximately 105% of its 2003 appraised value. We made
this determination based on the list price of the property.

     For Lakeside Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of
$38,520,000, which is approximately 90% of its 2003 appraised value. We made
this determination based on certain factors, including the following:

     - the property's loss rate of 15% as of July, 2004 compared to a loss rate
       assumption of 7% by the appraiser, with adjustments being made by the
       appraiser for unstable occupancy and soft market conditions;

     - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the
       property is located; and

     - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the
       property is located.

     We then deducted from the gross property values estimated prepayment
penalties of $1,056,146 for Pinetree Apartments and $6,097,129 for Lakeside
Apartments, respectively, to determine their net property values. The following
table compares the appraised values of your partnership's properties to the net
property values that we used to determine our offer price:

                                    ===========      ===========     ==========    ===========
</Table>

     The aggregate net property value for all your partnership's properties is
$36,742,871. This is determined by aggregating the net property values of all
properties. After determining the aggregate net property value, we then
calculated a net equity value for your partnership based on such aggregate net
property value by adding the value of the non-real estate assets of your
partnership and deducting its liabilities, including the mortgage debt and debt
owed by your partnership to the general partner or its affiliates.

                                        18


     Finally, we allocated 97% of this net equity value to limited partners,
which is the percentage of net proceeds that would be paid to limited partners
in the event of a liquidation of your partnership. Our offer price represents
the net equity value per unit determined in this manner as indicated below.

     Comparison of Offer Price to Alternative Consideration.  To assist holders
of units in evaluating the offer, your general partner, which is our affiliate,
has attempted to compare the offer price against: (a) prior cash tender offer
prices, (b) prices at which the units have sold on the secondary market and (c)
the estimated liquidation proceeds payable per unit, assuming a sale of
properties at prices equal to appraised values determined by the independent
appraiser in 2003. 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 and varying property values, no assurance can be given
that the estimated values reflect the actual range of possible values. The
results of these comparative analyses are summarized in the chart below.

PRIOR TENDER OFFERS

     2003.  On December 30, 2003, we completed a tender offer commenced on
November 6, 2003. We acquired 659 units in that offer at a price of $153.85 per
unit. In that case, we determined our offer price by estimating the net equity
value of limited partnership units based on our valuation of your partnership's
properties using principally the direct capitalization method.

     2002.  On June 25, 2002, we completed a tender offer commenced on May 13,
2002. We acquired 270 units in that offer at a price of $147.00 per unit. In
that case, we determined our offer price by estimating the net equity value of
limited partnership units based on our valuation of your partnership's
properties using principally the direct capitalization method.

     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 during the year
ending December 31, 2004 (through November 30) and the years ended December 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002, as reported by Direct Investments Spectrum (formerly
known as The Partnership Spectrum), which is an independent, third-party source.
The gross sales prices reported by Direct Investments 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. Direct Investments Spectrum
represents only one source of secondary sales information, and other services

ESTIMATED LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS BASED ON INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL

     Selection and Qualifications of Independent Appraiser.  In 2003, under the
terms of the settlement of the Nuanes and Heller litigation, your partnership's
properties were appraised by American Appraisal Associates, Inc. ("AAA"), an
independent appraiser appointed by the court. Under the terms of the settlement,
the independent appraiser was required to provide in writing its professional
opinion as to the market value of each of the partnership's properties
describing the methodologies used and other information which the appraiser
deemed appropriate to support or explain its work. The appraiser was also
required to prepare an executive summary of each appraisal that included all
material information. As the appraiser was court-appointed, no special valuation
instructions were given to the appraiser by the partnership, us or our
affiliates. The information set forth below was provided to us by AAA with
respect to its appraisals.

                                        20

     THE ABOVE MANAGEMENT BUDGETS WERE INTERNALLY PREPARED OPERATING PROJECTIONS
FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES. A MANAGEMENT BUDGET DOES NOT REFLECT A
PROPERTY'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE, OR CHANGES IN THE CONDITION OF A PROPERTY, IN THE
LOCAL AREA SURROUNDING A PROPERTY OR IN THE ECONOMY IN GENERAL.

     Summary of Approaches and Methodologies Employed.  The following summary
describes the material approaches and analyses employed by AAA in preparing the
appraisals. The partnership imposed no conditions or limitations on the scope of
AAA's investigation or the methods and procedures to be followed in preparing
the appraisal. AAA principally relied on two approaches to valuation: (1) the
sales comparison approach and (2) the income capitalization approach.

     The sales comparison approach uses analysis techniques and sales of
comparable improved properties in surrounding or competing areas to derive units
of comparison that are then used to indicate a value for the subject property.
Under this approach, the primary methods of analysis used by the appraiser were:
(1) sales price per unit analysis; (2) net operating income analysis; and (3)
effective gross income analysis.

     The purpose of the income capitalization approach is to value an
income-producing property by analyzing likely future income and expenses of the
property over a reasonable holding period. Under the income capitalization
approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a
discounted cash flow analysis to derive property value. The direct
capitalization analysis determines the value of a property by applying a
capitalization rate that takes into account all of the factors influencing the
value of such property to the net operating income of such property for a single
year. The direct capitalization method is normally more appropriate for
properties with relatively stable operating histories and expectations. The
discounted cash flow analysis determines the value of a property by discounting
to present value the estimated operating cash flow of such property and the
estimated proceeds of a hypothetical sale of such property at the end of an
assumed holding period. The discounted cash flow method is more appropriate for
the analysis of investment properties with multiple or long-term leases,
particularly leases with cancellation clauses or renewal options. It is
especially useful for multi-tenant properties in volatile markets.

     AAA relied principally on the income capitalization approach to valuation
and secondarily on the sales comparison approach. Although the sales comparison
approach is considered a reliable method for

                                        22


valuing property, the income capitalization approach is the primary approach
used for valuing income producing property, such as your partnership's property.

     Summary of independent appraisals of your partnership's property.  AAA
performed complete appraisals of all of your partnership's properties. The
summary set forth below describes the material conclusions reached by AAA based
on the values determined under the valuation approaches and subject to the
assumptions and limitations described below. The estimated total "as is" market
value of the fee simple estate of your partnership's properties is $47,900,000,
which was determined by adding the estimated values determined by AAA for each
of your partnership's properties and which is higher than our estimate of the
aggregate net property value of $36,742,871.

  LAKESIDE APARTMENTS

     Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach.  AAA compared five apartment
complexes with Lakeside Apartments that were sold between May 2001 and January
2003 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its
qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of three comparable properties as
comparable and two comparable properties as inferior to the location of Lakeside
Apartments. AAA rated the quality/appeal of one comparable property as superior,
two comparable properties as comparable and two comparable properties as
inferior to the quality/appeal of Lakeside Apartments. AAA rated the amenities
of all five comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Lakeside
Apartments.

     AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable
property to reflect differences from Lakeside Apartments in location, number of
units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average
unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $61,385
to $77,229 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $69,474 per unit
and a median adjusted price of $67,688 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based
on a $75,000 sales price per unit for the 568 units was approximately
$42,200,000 after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of
concessions.

     As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net
operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the
various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared
Lakeside Apartments' NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and
arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to
the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was
between $66,233 and $83,684 per unit, with an average of $75,147 per unit. The
appraiser concluded a value of $76,000 per unit for the 568 units of the
property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $42,700,000 using
the NOI analysis after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of
concessions.

     AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis.
The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its
effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would
produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the
operating expense ratio ("OER") of Lakeside Apartments to be 40.46% before
reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from
33.90% to 45.00%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 6.76 to 8.74. Thus, AAA
concluded an EGIM of 7.00 for Lakeside Apartments, and applied the EGIM to the
stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section
below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $43,100,000 after
adjustment for present value of concessions.

     AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $42,200,000,
the value using the NOI analysis at $42,700,000 and the value using the EGIM
analysis at $43,100,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded
that the reconciled value for Lakeside Apartments under the sales comparison
approach was $42,700,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12
months.

     Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach.  Under the income
capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and
(2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Lakeside Apartments.

                                        23


     AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of
the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary
value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate
of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the
property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an
appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the
property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a
review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a
comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Lakeside
Apartments' effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental
collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and
collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $6,222,358. Once
the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order
to arrive at an NOI for Lakeside Apartments of approximately $3,534,215. AAA
performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to
derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and
budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate
investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal
capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales
and a survey of real estate investors.

     The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Lakeside
Apartments under the income approach included:

          (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 7%;

          (2) replacement reserve of $300 per unit;

          (3) overall capitalization rate of 8.25%;

          (4) terminal capitalization rate of 8.75%;

          (5) discount rate of 11.00%;

          (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and

          (7) holding period of 10 years.

An adjustment was made for lease-up costs because Lakeside Apartments' occupancy
level was below a stabilized occupancy projection. Thus, AAA assumed a 17-month
lease up period. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market
conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $107,000.
Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period
resulted in an indicated value of $43,100,000 through the discounted cash flow
method. The reversion value contributed approximately 43% of the value.

     Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of
8.25%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $42,400,000
after adjustments for present value of concessions.

     Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis
that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method
indicated the value for Lakeside Apartments was $42,800,000.

     Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal.  The final step in
the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the
income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The
reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques
in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the
relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the
purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under
the sales comparison approach was $42,700,000 and the estimated market value
under the income capitalization approach was $42,800,000. After reconciling the
various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Lakeside
Apartments of $42,800,000 as of May 28, 2003.

                                        24


  PINE TREE APARTMENTS

     Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach.  AAA compared five apartment
complexes with Pine Tree Apartments that were sold between November 2000 and
December 2002 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on
its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of all five comparable
properties as superior to the location of Pine Tree Apartments. AAA rated the
quality/appeal of all five comparable properties as superior to the
quality/appeal of Pine Tree Apartments. AAA rated the amenities of all five
comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Pine Tree Apartments.

     AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable
property to reflect differences from Pine Tree Apartments in location, number of
units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average
unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $22,611
to $28,936 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $25,277 per unit
and a median adjusted price of $24,806 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based
on a $25,000 sales price per unit for the 220 units was approximately $5,300,000
after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions.

     As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net
operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the
various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Pine
Tree Apartments' NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at
a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales
price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between
$20,730 and $25,645 per unit, with an average of $22,929 per unit. The appraiser
concluded a value of $25,000 per unit for the 220 units of the property,
resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $5,300,000 using the NOI
analysis after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions.

     AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis.
The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its
effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would
produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the
operating expense ratio ("OER") of Pine Tree Apartments to be 56.41% before
reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from
38.38% to 43.65%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 5.09 to 6.21. Thus, AAA
concluded an EGIM of 4.00 for Pine Tree Apartments, and applied the EGIM to the
stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section
below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $5,100,000 after
adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions.

     AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $5,300,000,
the value using the NOI analysis at $5,300,000 and the value using the EGIM
analysis at $5,100,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded
that the reconciled value for Pine Tree Apartments under the sales comparison
approach was $5,200,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12
months.

     Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach.  Under the income
capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and
(2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Pine Tree Apartments.

     AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of
the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary
value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate
of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the
property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an
appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the
property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a
review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a
comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Pine Tree
Apartments' effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental
collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and
collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $1,337,160. Once
the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order
to arrive at an NOI for Pine Tree Apartments of approximately $527,802. AAA
performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to
derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and
budgeted income and

                                        25


expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria,
including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a
discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real
estate investors.

     The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Pine Tree
Apartments under the income approach included:

          (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 10%;

          (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit;

          (3) overall capitalization rate of 10.50%;

          (4) terminal capitalization rate of 11.00%;

          (5) discount rate of 12.00%;

          (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and

          (7) holding period of 10 years.

An adjustment was made for lease-up costs because Pine Tree Apartments'
occupancy level was below a stabilized occupancy projection. Thus, AAA assumed a
12-month lease up period. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft
market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be
$123,000. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year
period resulted in an indicated value of $5,200,000 through the discounted cash
flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 38% of the value.

     Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of
10.50%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $4,800,000
after adjustments for lease-up costs and present value of concessions.

     Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis
that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method
indicated the value for Pine Tree Apartments was $5,000,000.

     Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal.  The final step in
the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the
income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The
reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques
in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the
relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the
purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under
the sales comparison approach was $5,200,000 and the estimated market value
under the income capitalization approach was $5,000,000. After reconciling the
various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Pine Tree
Apartments of $5,100,000 as of May 14, 2003.

     Assumptions, Limitations and Qualifications of AAA's Valuation.  In
preparing the appraisal, AAA relied, without independent verification, on the
accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made
available to it by or on behalf of the partnership. In arriving at the
appraisal, AAA assumed:

          - good and marketable title to the property;

          - validity of owner's claim to the property;

          - no encumbrances which could not be cleared through normal processes,
            unless otherwise stated;

          - accuracy of land areas and descriptions obtained from public
            records;

          - no subsurface mineral and use rights or conditions;

                                        26


          - no substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation,
            other chemicals, toxic wastes, or other potentially hazardous
            materials in existence or present on or in the property;

          - full compliance with applicable federal, state and local
            environmental regulations and laws, unless otherwise stated, defined
            and considered;

          - possession of all required licenses, consents, or other legislative
            or administrative authority from any local, state, or national
            government or private entity organization and that the renewal of
            these items is possible;

          - compliance with all applicable zoning and use regulations and
            restrictions, unless a nonconformity has been stated, defined, and
            considered;

          - utilization of the land and improvements within property boundaries
            and no encroachment or trespass of the improvements, unless
            otherwise stated;

          - the structural integrity of the property including its conformity to
            specific governmental code requirements, such as fire, building and
            safety, earthquake, and occupancy, or any physical defects not
            readily apparent during inspection; and

          - compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992.

     Compensation of Appraiser.  AAA was appointed by the court to perform all
the real estate appraisals in connection with the settlement relating to the
Nuanes and Heller litigation. AAA was paid a fee of $619,100 for the appraisals.
We have paid 50% of the costs of the appraisals, with the other 50% paid from
the settlement fund. AAA has conducted other appraisals of property in
connection with the other offers made pursuant to the settlement agreement.
Other than the appraisals performed in connection with the settlement agreement,
during the prior two years, no material relationship has existed between AAA and
your partnership or any of its affiliates, including the AIMCO Entities.

     Availability of Appraisal Reports.  You may obtain a full copy of AAA's
appraisals upon request, without charge, by contacting the Information Agent at
one of the addresses or the telephone number on the back cover of this Offer to
Purchase. Copies of the appraisal for the property are also available for
inspection and copying at the principal executive offices of the partnership
during regular business hours by any interested unitholder or his or her
designated representative at his or her cost.

     In estimating the net liquidation proceeds that would be payable per unit
based on the total appraised value of your partnership's properties, we applied
the same basic methodology as described under "Valuation of Units", except that
we did not deduct any amounts that were already deducted from and reflected in
the total appraised value. We deducted from the total appraised value of your
partnership's properties ($47,900,000) total estimated prepayment penalties of
$7,153,275 to determine the net appraised value of $40,746,725. As indicated
below, based on the total appraised value of your partnership properties, the
estimated net liquidation proceeds per unit is $264.92, which is higher than our
offer price of $178.35.

9.  THE LAWSUIT AND THE SETTLEMENT

  BACKGROUND

     In March 1998, 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 in 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.

                                        28


     The fourth amended complaint was filed on September 7, 2001. It was brought
by plaintiffs who owned interests in four of the Partnerships. 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 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 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.

 THE HELLER COMPLAINT

     During the third quarter of 2001, a complaint was filed against the same
defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned Heller v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Heller action"). The Heller complaint was
filed in order to preserve 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.

                                        29


  THE SETTLEMENT OF THE NUANES AND HELLER COMPLAINTS

     On December 20, 2002, the parties to the above-entitled litigation executed
a Stipulation of Settlement of the two actions. That settlement was the result
of over one year of negotiations and the involvement of two separate settlement
judges. Class counsel and defendants' counsel first met with the Honorable
William J. Cahill, Retired California Superior Court Judge, on two separate
occasions. Counsel also met on four separate occasions with the Honorable
Margaret J. Kemp, California Superior Court Judge, before reaching a settlement
in principle. The parties initially met with Judge Cahill on two occasions in
the fall of 2000, but were ultimately unsuccessful in reaching a definitive
settlement agreement. At the Court's direction, they renewed formal settlement
discussions before Judge Kemp. The parties first attended a settlement
conference before Judge Kemp in September or October 2002 and then subsequently
met with her on October 28, 2002, November 26, 2002 and December 2, 2002. The
parties reached final agreement on the material terms of the settlement at the
last settlement conference with Judge Kemp on December 2, 2002 and put the terms
of that agreement on the record in open court.

     In each of the conferences described above, counsel from Lieff Cabraser
Heimann & Bernstein LLP, Farella Braun & Martel LLP & Berman Devalerio Pease &
Tobacco attended on behalf of the named plaintiffs and the putative settlement
class; counsel from Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP attended on behalf of
AIMCO and its affiliated entities, including your general partner, and Orrick
Herrington & Sutcliffe attended on behalf of the remaining defendants. Former
AIMCO Executive Vice President Patrick Foye also attended each of these
meetings. Mr. Vincent Gresham of the Law Offices of Vincent Gresham also
participated on behalf of plaintiffs and the putative settlement class in those
settlement discussions before the Hon. Cahill, Retired. At these meetings,
discussions included possible transactions that could provide liquidity to
investors and form the basis of a settlement, the use of a settlement fund and
the amount of such fund, the timing and distribution of any settlement fund,
selection and use of an appraiser and disclosures that would accompany any
contemplated transaction(s). The participants considered but ultimately rejected
a merger or roll-up of the various partnerships as possible alternatives to cash
tender offers. The parties ultimately concluded, however, that a merger or
roll-up could be potentially complicated and time consuming and that a cash
tender offer would be a less coercive form of providing liquidity to those
investors who desired it.

     The Settlement Agreement requires each tender offer to attach executive
summaries of partnership property appraisals commissioned specifically for the
settlement tender offers and to provide an explanation of how the appraised
values of the properties compare to the per Unit price(s) being offered. It also
requires the payment of an allocable portion of the settlement fund for each
unit tendered pursuant to the settlement fund, details the scope of the release
and covenants not to sue which will bind class members, requires that tender
offers be made no more than one year after final approval of the settlement and
imposes certain restrictions on the length of time in which the tender offers
can remain open, as well as with regard to other disclosures made therein. On
April 4, 2003, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and, on June 13,
2003, entered an order finally approving the settlement and dismissing both the
Heller and Nuanes litigation with prejudice.

     On August 12, 2003, an objector filed an appeal of the court's order
approving the settlement and is seeking to reverse or vacate the Court's order
and the judgment entered thereto. On November 24, 2003, the objector appealing
the settlement and judgment entered thereto filed an application requesting the
Court order AIMCO to withdraw the settlement tender offers, refrain from making
further offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third
parties. The objector contended that our prior offer did not conform with the
terms of the Settlement. Alternatively, counsel for the objector has requested
the Court on behalf of a settlement class member to order AIMCO to pay all
non-tendering settlement class members their pro rata share of the Settlement
Fund whether or not the settlement and judgment entered thereto is vacated on
appeal and to notify settlement class members that the releases and covenant not
to sue are not binding unless the settlement and judgment entered thereto is
affirmed on appeal. On December 18, 2003, the Court heard oral argument on the
applications brought on behalf of the objector and denied them in their
entirety. On February 23, 2004, an appeal was also taken from certain portions
of the Court's December 2003 orders denying injunctive relief in connection with
the settlement offers and

                                        30


assessing fees against objector's counsel for the Court's use of a referee. Both
appeals have been fully briefed and argued and the parties are waiting for a
decision from the Court of Appeals.

     Under the terms of the settlement, we made cash tender offers for all
outstanding limited partnership interests in your partnership and 40 other
partnerships (the "Tender Offer Partnerships") and accompanied each of those
offers with executive summaries of appraisals of partnership properties prepared
by an independent appraiser appointed by the Court. Our affiliate has paid 50%
of the costs of the appraisals, with the other 50% paid from the settlement
fund. The appraiser was paid $619,100 for the appraisals. Under the settlement,
we had the option of making a second round of tender offers (in our sole and
absolute discretion) to purchase all remaining outstanding limited partnership
interests, at the same price, or at a higher or lower price, within 18 months of
the order finally approving the settlement. In November and December 2004, we
commenced a second round of cash tender offers for all outstanding limited
partnership units in 14 Tender Offer Partnerships. That 18-month period has
expired, and this offer does not constitute one of the second round of tender
offers.

     In addition, as part of the settlement, we agreed to create a settlement
fund for the benefit of settlement class members in the principal amount of $9.9
million. The settlement class members consist of all limited partners in the
Tender Offer Partnerships, including your partnership, who owned units as of
December 20, 2002, and who did not validly request exclusion from the
settlement. After deducting attorneys' fees and other settlement costs,
including a portion of the costs of appraisal and certain costs of
administration of the settlement fund, we allocated the remaining amount in the
settlement fund among the Tender Offer Partnerships, pursuant to the terms of
the settlement, pro rata based on partnership revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2002 allocable to units held by members of the settlement class, as
set forth below:

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2002.

(2) Excludes units owned by AIMCO and its affiliates and other limited partners
    who have requested exclusion from the settlement class.

                                        32


(3) Determined, for each partnership, by multiplying the amount of revenue
    (column (B)) by the percentage of outstanding units held by members of the
    settlement class (column (C)).

(4) Determined, for each partnership, by dividing the amount of adjusted revenue
    (column (D)) by the total amount of adjusted revenue for all partnerships.

     The amount allocated to a Tender Offer Partnership was then divided by the
total number of outstanding units owned by settlement class members in such
Tender Offer Partnership (excluding units held by us and our affiliates), and
the resulting amount was included in the offer price for units in that Tender
Offer Partnership. For each unit validly tendered in the offers and accepted by
us, an amount equal to the portion of the settlement fund included in the per
unit offer price was deducted from the settlement fund and paid to us (other
than units tendered by limited partners who have requested exclusion from the
settlement class). All limited partners who tendered their units in response to
the offers received the same price per unit, including those persons who may
have requested exclusion from the settlement class.

     Any balance remaining will be paid to settlement class members who have
retained any units based on the allocation method used in the litigation
settlement offers, provided that the Court's order approving the settlement and
entering judgment thereto is affirmed on appeal and is final. If the Court's
order is reversed or vacated by virtue of the appeal, however, you will not be
entitled to receive a pro rata share of the settlement fund.

     The general partners of the Tender Offer Partnerships have also agreed, as
part of the settlement, to waive their right to seek reimbursement and/or
indemnification for the full amount of fees and costs incurred in the defense of
the class and derivative litigation; provided, however, that they may charge
fees and costs to your partnership and the other partnerships involved in the
litigation in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 (which is approximately 50% of
the outstanding fees and costs).

     In consideration for the terms described above, plaintiffs and settlement
class members agreed, among other things, to dismiss the Nuanes action and the
Heller action with prejudice, release the defendants from all liability with
respect to all claims and causes of action, whether brought individually, on
behalf of a class, or derivatively, whether known or unknown, that have been
asserted or that could have been asserted that arise out of or relate to (i)
those matters and claims set forth in the complaints in the Heller and Nuanes
actions, (ii) ownership of one or more units in any of the Tender Offer
Partnerships, (iii) the purchase, acquisition, holding, sale, tender or voting
of one or more units in any of the Tender Offer Partnerships, and (iv) any of
the facts, circumstances, allegations, claims, causes of action,
representations, statements, reports, disclosures, transactions, events,
occurrences, acts, omissions or failures to act, of whatever kind or character
whatsoever, irrespective of the state of mind of the actor performing or
omitting to perform the same, that have been or could have been alleged in any
pleadings, amended pleading, argument, complaint, amended complaint, brief,
motion, report or filing in either the Nuanes action or the Heller action,
provided, however, that the released claims are not intended to include any
unrelated claims that are unique to a particular settlement class member (e.g.,
a settlement class member slips and falls on property owned by one of our
affiliates, loses or did not receive a distribution check distributed to other
limited partners in your partnership, or is an employee and has an employee
related claim). Settlement class members also covenanted and agreed not to bring
any action, claim, suit, or proceeding against any of the defendants in the
class and derivative litigation that concerns any of the matters which are the
subject of the settlement and that the stipulation of settlement will act as a
bar to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The plaintiffs and settlement
class members also agreed that they would not oppose a request that the Court
withdraw the finding regarding Robert A. Stanger & Co. made in the June 27, 2000
order disqualifying lead and liaison counsel.

     Under the terms of the settlement, neither we nor our affiliates admit to
any wrongdoing, and we deny liability under all claims brought in the
litigation. The final settlement of the lawsuit is the product of good faith,
arm's length negotiations between settlement class counsel and counsel for the
defendants. These negotiations resulted in the settlement set forth in the
Stipulation.

(1) Beginning with the first quarter of 2004, AIMCO Properties modified the
    presentation of its consolidated statements of income. The presentation of
    the statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 has
    also been modified to conform with this new format. These presentation
    changes do not affect the accounting treatment of amounts reported, only
    their classification within the statement of income.

(2) Certain reclassifications have been made to real estate, net of accumulated
    depreciation, total assets and total indebtedness in the 2003 balance sheet
    to conform to presentation changes made in AIMCO Properties' Form 10-Q for
    the quarter ended September 30, 2004. These reclassifications primarily
    represent changes related to certain intercompany eliminations and the
    treatment of discontinued operations.

(3) Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 and 2001 amounts to
    conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications primarily
    represent presentation changes related to discontinued operations resulting
    from the 2002 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
    144. The amounts reported for 2003 (except for Real estate, net of
    accumulated depreciation, Total assets and Total indebtedness), 2002 and
    2001 are from the audited financial statements in AIMCO Properties' Form
    10-K for the year December 31, 2003 and have not been reclassified for
    discontinued operations throughout 2004.

(4) Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a financial measure not calculated in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, that we
    believe, when considered with the financial data determined in accordance
    with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because
    it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing
    that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value
    to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery,
    computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National
    Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net
    income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses
    from extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting
    principle, gains on dispositions of depreciable real estate related to
    unconsolidated entities and other, gains on dispositions of real estate from
    discontinued operations, net of related income taxes, plus real estate
    related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing
    costs), including depreciation for unconsolidated real estate partnerships,
    joint ventures and discontinued operations. We calculate FFO based on the
    NAREIT definition, as further adjusted for amortization of management
    contracts and deficit

                                        36


    distributions to minority partners. We calculate FFO (diluted) by
    subtracting redemption related preferred OP Unit issuance costs and
    distributions on preferred OP Units, adding back distributions on dilutive
    preferred securities and adding back the interest expense on dilutive
    mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred securities. FFO should not be
    considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating
    activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our
    performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative
    of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a
    measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate
    investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing
    FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts.

     The following is a reconciliation of net income to Funds From Operations:

11.  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 properties while providing you and other investors with an
opportunity to liquidate your current investment.

     As part of the settlement of the Nuanes and Heller litigation, we commenced
a cash tender offer in November 2003 to acquire limited partnership units in
your partnership for $153.85 per unit and acquired 659 units. THIS OFFER IS NOT
BEING MADE AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT.

     Alternatives Considered by Your General Partner.  From time to time in the
past, we have made offers to acquire units of limited partnership interest in
your partnership. Before making this offer and the previous offers, your general
partner (which is our affiliate) 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).

     If your partnership was liquidated, and the properties sold at prices equal
to the values recently determined by the independent appraiser in 2003, we
estimate that your net liquidation proceeds would be $264.92 per unit. See "The
Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units." However, a liquidating sale of all of
your partnership's properties would be a taxable event for all partners,
including your general partner. Furthermore, all partners, including those who
wish to retain their units, and your general partner would be forced to
participate in the liquidation. Lastly, although the future operating results of
your partnership and future sales prices of the properties owned by your
partnership are uncertain, the operating performance of your partnership's
properties may improve in the future, which, in turn, may result in higher
property values, making a sale of your partnership's properties a more
attractive option in the future. Such values are also a function of
capitalization rates in the market and the interest rate environment at the
time.

                                        38


However, because your general partner and property manager (which are our
affiliates) receive fees for managing your partnership and its properties, a
conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving
such fees, on the one hand, and the liquidation of the partnership and the
termination of such fees, on the other. See "The Offer -- Section 15. Certain
Information Concerning Your Partnership -- Investment Objectives and Policies;
Sale or Financing of Investments" and "-- Section 13. Conflicts of Interest and
Transactions with Affiliates." The term of the partnership will continue until
December 31, 2005, unless the partnership is terminated sooner under the
provisions of the partnership agreement.

  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 properties 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 properties
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
properties owned by your partnership.

     The primary disadvantage of continuing the operations of your partnership
without our offer 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 might
be at a price less than our offer price.

     Alternative Transactions Considered by Us.  At the present time, we have
decided to proceed with this offer. From time to time in the past, we have
considered proposing a number of alternative transactions, including the
purchase of your partnership's properties or a merger of your partnership in
which you would receive cash in exchange for your units. We decided not to
pursue these alternative transactions because, in each case, we determined that
a tender offer would be a less expensive means of acquiring additional interests
in your partnership, and would not require the consent or approval of any
limited partners (other than those who elect to tender their units). In the
future, however, we may consider purchasing your partnership's properties or
effecting such a merger. See "The Offer -- Section 14. Future Plans of the
Purchaser." We also considered an offer to exchange units in your partnership
for limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 when we have offered limited partners an opportunity to receive cash or
limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the limited partners
who tender usually prefer the cash option.

12.  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
affiliate) have provided the following information for inclusion in this Offer
to Purchase:

     Factors in Favor of Fairness Determination.  The general partner of your
partnership believes the offer price and the structure of the transaction are
fair to the unaffiliated limited partners whether or not they tender units in
the offer. In support of such determination, the general partner considered the
factors

                                        39


and information set forth below, but did not quantify or otherwise attach
particular weight to any such factors or information:

     The general partner considered the following factors in support of the
fairness of the offer to unaffiliated limited partners who do not tender units
in the offer:

     - the fact that the offer does not require approval of a majority of
       unaffiliated limited partners and, as a result, each limited partner has
       an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or
       her units (and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them; and

     - the fact that unaffiliated limited partners may continue to participate
       in the future performance of the partnership or its property following an
       alternative transaction such as a property sale or a liquidation of the
       partnership.

     The general partner considered the following factors in support of the
fairness of the offer to unaffiliated limited partners who do tender units in
the offer:

     - the fact that the offer does not require approval of a majority of
       unaffiliated limited partners and, as a result, each limited partner has
       an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or
       her units (and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them;

     - there is no established trading market for the limited partnership units,
       and the offer would provide immediate liquidity for tendering limited
       partners;

     - the uncertainty of the resulting proceeds from the possible alternative
       transactions, particularly a property sale or a liquidation of the
       partnership;

     - our offer price exceeds the book value per unit of $(431.52) at September
       30, 2004;

     - the fact that our offer price does not reflect any discount for minority
       interests; and

     - the absence of any other firm offers by third parties for all or
       substantially all of the partnership's assets, a merger or other
       extraordinary transaction during the past two years with which to compare
       the offer.

     Factors Not in Favor of Fairness Determination.  In addition to the
foregoing factors, the general partner considered the following countervailing
factors:

     - we determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your
       partnership units based on an aggregate gross property value of
       $43,896,146. The aggregate gross property value is the sum of the
       property values for each of your partnership's properties, as estimated
       by us, before reduction for any prepayment penalties. Our estimate of the
       aggregate gross property value is approximately 92% of the aggregate
       appraised value of your partnership's properties, as determined by the
       independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003. As a result, our offer
       price is less than our estimate of the liquidation proceeds that would be
       payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold at prices equal
       to their 2003 appraised values, which we estimate to be $264.92 per unit.

     - our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since
       the 2003 appraisal was completed, and does not take into account any
       increases in property income that we may realize in the near future;

     - the fact that an unaffiliated representative was not retained to act
       solely on behalf of unaffiliated limited partners for purposes of
       negotiating the terms of the offer;

     - the fact that the general partner's board of directors is comprised
       solely of an employee of AIMCO Properties, L.P., and, as a result, the
       terms of the offer were not approved by a majority of independent
       directors; and

     - prices at which the units have recently sold were higher than our current
       offer price.

                                        40


     The general partner does not believe that going concern value of your
partnership is relevant to the fairness of the offer because the partnership is
not an operating business in the typical sense. Its only assets are its
properties; the partnership has no other operations. Going concern value
typically reflects independent value for the goodwill of a business as a going
concern, over and above its asset value, however, those facts are not present
here. Accordingly, the general partner did not consider a separate going concern
value of the partnership in determining the fairness of the offer. In this case,
the liquidation value was determined based on appraised values of the
partnership's properties. These appraised values reflect the value of the
properties as a going concern.

     The general partner believes that consideration of the offer was
procedurally fair because, among other things, (1) each limited partner has an
opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or her units
(and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them, and (2) limited partners
can evaluate our offer price by comparing it to the net liquidation proceeds per
unit derived from the independent appraiser's property valuation. In making this
determination, the general partner took into account the absence of the
following procedural safeguards: (1) the requirement of approval of the offer by
a majority of the unaffiliated limited partners, (2) an unaffiliated
representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated limited partners for
purposes of negotiating the terms of the offer, and (3) the approval of the
offer by a majority of non-employee directors of your general partner's board of
directors.

     The general partner makes no recommendation as to whether or not you should
tender or refrain from tendering your units in this offer. While the general
partner believes that the terms of our offer are fair, the general partner also
believes that you must make your own decision whether or not to participate in
any offer. The general partner is unable to make a recommendation because each
limited partner's circumstances may differ from those of other limited partners.
These circumstances, which would impact the desirability of tendering units in
the offer, include a limited partner's financial position, his need or desire
for liquidity, other financial opportunities available to him, and his tax
position and the tax consequences to him of selling his units. YOU ARE
ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION
AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR
AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE
DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT 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 14. 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. The sale of your units
pursuant to this offer will not be a taxable transaction for the general partner
of your partnership or its affiliates. Consequently, the general partner of your
partnership and its affiliates will not recognize gain or loss in connection
with this offer. 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 11. Background and Reasons for the Offer" and "-- Section
13. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Affiliates." See also "The
Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units -- Comparison to Alternative
Consideration" for certain information regarding transactions with respect to
units of your partnership.

     Your partnership did not receive any report, opinion or appraisal with
respect to the fairness of this offer or the offer price being offered to
limited partners. However, the partnership did receive the 2003 appraisals
prepared by AAA, as described above.

     Although the AIMCO Entities have interests that may be in conflict with
those of the partnership's unaffiliated limited partners, each of the AIMCO
Entities believes that the offer price and the structure of the transaction are
fair to the unaffiliated limited partners based on the information and factors
considered by the general partner of your partnership. Each of AIMCO Entities
expressly adopts the analysis, and the factors underlying such analysis, of the
general partner of your partnership.

                                        41


13.  CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Conflicts of Interest with Respect to the Offer.  The general partner of
your partnership is an affiliate of AIMCO. As a result, the general partner has
substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the offer. 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 exist in connection with the general partner's management of
your partnership. Your general partner has filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14d-9 with the SEC, which indicates that it is remaining
neutral and making no recommendation as to whether limited partners should
tender their units in the offer. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE
AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9 AND THE RELATED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY
BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR UNITS.

     Conflicts of Interest That Currently Exist for Your Partnership.  We own
the general partner of your partnership and are affiliated with the property
manager of your partnership's properties. We and the general partner of your
partnership received total fees and reimbursements (excluding property
management fees) of approximately $851,000 in 2001, $427,000 in 2002 and
$365,000 in 2003. Total fees and reimbursements (excluding property management
fees) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $466,000.
The property manager is entitled to receive five percent of gross receipts from
the partnership's properties for providing property management services. It
received management fees of approximately $516,000 in 2001, $464,000 in 2002 and
$436,000 in 2003. Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
were approximately $243,000. We have no current intention of changing the fee
structure for your general partner or the manager of your partnership's
properties.

     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 general market areas where your partnership's properties are
located. We believe that this concentration of properties in a general market
area 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.

     Future Offers.  We are not obligated to make another tender offer for units
in your partnership. We have no current plans to conduct future tender offers
for the units in your partnership, but our plans may change based on future
circumstances, including tender offers made by third parties. Any such future
offers that we make could be at prices that are more or less than the current
offer price.

     Transactions with Affiliates.  Your partnership has no employees and is
dependent on the general partner and us for the management and administration of
all partnership activities. The partnership agreement provides for certain
payments to us for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by us
on behalf of the partnership.

     We and the general partner of your partnership are entitled to receive 5%
of gross receipts from all of the partnership's properties for providing
property management services, and received management fees of approximately
$516,000 in 2001, $464,000 in 2002, $436,000 in 2003 and $243,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004.

     We were eligible to receive reimbursement of accountable administrative
expenses amounting to approximately $386,000 in 2001, $249,000 in 2002, $245,000
in 2003 and $129,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Included in
these amounts are fees related to construction management services provided by
NHP Management Company (which is our affiliate) of approximately $125,000 in
2001, $44,000 in 2002, $43,000 in 2003 and $7,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The construction management service fees are calculated
based on a percentage of current additions to investment properties. At
September 30, 2004, approximately $7,000 of reimbursements for services was
accrued by the partnership.

                                        42


     For services relating to the administration of the partnership and
operation of the partnership's properties, the general partner is entitled to
receive payment for non-accountable expenses up to a maximum of $100,000 per
year based upon the number of partnership units sold, subject to certain
limitations. The general partner received approximately $100,000 in 2001,
$51,000 in 2002, $14,000 in 2003 and $31,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004, respectively, in connection with the operating distributions paid to
the partners.

     Upon the sale of partnership properties, the general partner is entitled to
an incentive compensation fee equal to a declining percentage of the difference
between the total amount distributed to limited partners and the appraised value
of their investment at February 1, 1992. The percentage amount to be realized by
the general partner, if any, will be dependent upon the year in which the
property is sold. Payment of the incentive compensation fee is subordinated to
the receipt by the limited partners of: (a) distributions from capital
transaction proceeds of an amount equal to their appraised investment in the
partnership at February 1, 1992, and (b) distributions from all sources (capital
transactions as well as cash flow) of an amount equal to 6% per annum
cumulative, non-compounded, on their appraised investment in the partnership at
February 1, 1992. In connection with the January 2004 sale of Summerwalk
Apartments, an incentive compensation fee of approximately $222,000 was earned
and paid to the general partner.

     The general partner, on behalf of the partnership and certain affiliated
partnerships, has established a revolving credit facility to be used to fund
deferred maintenance and working capital needs of the partnership and certain
other affiliated partnerships in the National Property Investors Partnership
Series. The maximum draw available to the partnership under the partnership
revolver is $300,000. Loans under the partnership revolver will have a term of
365 days, be unsecured and bear interest at the rate of 2% per annum. The
maturity date of any such borrowing accelerates in the event of: (i) the removal
of NPI Equity Investments, Inc. as the managing general partner (whether or not
for cause); (ii) the sale or refinancing of a property by the partnership
(whether or not a borrowing under the partnership revolver was made with respect
to such property); or (iii) the liquidation of the partnership. During 2001, the
partnership borrowed approximately $35,000 under the partnership revolver.
During 2002, the partnership repaid approximately $35,000, which was outstanding
at December 31, 2001. During 2003, the partnership borrowed approximately
$190,000 and repaid approximately $82,000 under the partnership revolver. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the partnership borrowed approximately
$200,000 and repaid approximately $108,000, representing the outstanding
principal balance which had been previously borrowed under the partnership
revolver and approximately $2,000 of accrued interest. Interest expense was
approximately $5,000 in 2001, less than $1,000 in 2002, $2,000 in 2003 and
$2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004,
approximately $201,000 was owed, including accrued interest.

     For our role in the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Lakeside
Apartments and pursuant to the partnership agreement, the partnership paid a
refinancing commission equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the new mortgage to
us during 2001. This fee of $245,000 was capitalized and is being amortized over
the life of the loan.

     The partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through
coverage provided by AIMCO, 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 limits
through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with
your general partner. The partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates
approximately $115,000, $126,000 and $104,000 during the years ended December
31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees
associated with policy claims administration, and was charged approximately
$82,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

                                        43


14.  FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER

     As described above under "The Offer -- Section 11. Background and Reasons
for the Offer," your general partner is our affiliate and, therefore, we have
the ability to control the management of your partnership. In addition, we are
affiliated with the manager of your partnership's properties. 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 are not obligated to do so, we may make future tender offers.
However, we have no current plans to conduct future tender offers for units in
your partnership. 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, L.P. or other consideration. We 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
properties, 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 properties. 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 general partner does not currently expect to
consider, on behalf of your partnership any of the following transactions: (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 consideration. As discussed under "The
Offer -- Section 15. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership --
Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments," the
general partner regularly evaluates the real estate and capital markets. The
general partner may consider refinancing the partnership's existing indebtedness
to the extent that the general partner is able to obtain a lower interest rate
or if such indebtedness is approaching maturity. Furthermore, in the event that
the general partner receives an attractive offer for any of your partnership's
properties, the general partner would give due consideration to such an offer.

     If any of the transactions referred to above occur, and financial benefits
accrue to the 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 therein. Limited partners may vote on a
liquidation, and we will be able to significantly influence or control the
outcome of any such vote. Our primary objective in seeking to acquire

                                        44


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.

15.  CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP

     General.  Your partnership was organized on February 1, 1979 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 making
investments in income-producing commercial and residential real estate. Your
partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of two residential
apartment complexes. Your partnership currently has approximately 845 limited
partners.

     General Partner.  The general partner of your partnership is NPI Equity
Investments, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO. Our affiliate
serves as manager of the properties owned by your partnership. We and the
general partner of your partnership received total fees and reimbursements
(excluding property management fees) of approximately $851,000 in 2001, $427,000
in 2002 and $365,000 in 2003. Total approximate fees and reimbursements
(excluding property management fees) for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 were approximately $466,000. The property manager is entitled to receive
five percent of gross receipts from the partnership's properties for providing
property management services. It received management fees of approximately
$516,000 in 2001, $464,000 in 2002 and $436,000 in 2003. Management fees for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $243,000.

     Ownership and Voting.  We, together with AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which is our
affiliate), own 36,316 units, or 75.58%, of the outstanding 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. See "The
Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer" and "-- Section 16. Voting Power."

     Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments.  In
general, your general partner (which is our affiliate) regularly evaluates the
partnership's properties by considering various factors, such as the
partnership's financial position and real estate and capital markets conditions.
The general partner monitors a 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 operating performance of the properties and continuously evaluates the
physical improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for the
properties (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 properties. 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 properties 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 properties. Although the future operating
results of your partnership and future sales prices of the properties owned by
your partnership are uncertain, the operating performance of your partnership's
properties may improve in the future, which, in turn, may result in higher
property values, making a sale of your partnership's properties a more
attractive option in the future. Such values, however, are also a function of
capitalization rates in the market and the interest rate environment at the
time. Another significant factor considered by your general partner is the
likely tax consequences of a sale of the properties 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, 2005
unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement or by law.

     Capital Replacements.  Your partnership has an ongoing program of capital
improvements, replacements and renovations, including interior and exterior
building improvements, cabinet, floor covering

                                        45


and appliance replacements and other replacements and renovations in the
ordinary course of business. During 2005, the capital improvements budget for
each property in your partnership will be determined on a quarterly basis,
primarily based on the immediate maintenance needs of each property to maintain
both tenant safety and curb appeal. Your partnership is currently evaluating the
capital improvements needs of each property for the first fiscal quarter of
2005. Additional improvements may be considered each quarter and will depend on
the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow
generated by the property. All capital improvements are expected to be paid from
operating cash flows or cash reserves, or from short-term or long-term
borrowings.

     Competition.  There are other residential properties within the market area
of each of your partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive
properties in such an area 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 the
largest owner and manager 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, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is based on
audited financial statements. The selected financial information set forth below
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 is based on unaudited
financial statements. This information should be read in conjunction with such
financial statements, including the 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, 2003, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004. These reports and other information may be
inspected at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at Judiciary
Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of such material
can also be obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC in Washington,

(1) In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
    144, the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended
    September 30, 2003 have been restated as of January 1, 2003 to reflect the
    operations of Summerwalk Apartments, which sold in January, and Pinetree
    Apartments, which is currently held for sale, as income (loss) from
    discontinued operations.

(2) Effective January 1, 2002, the partnership adopted SFAS No. 144, which
    established standards for the way that public business enterprises report
    information about long-lived assets that are either being held for sale or
    have already been disposed of by sale or other means. The standard requires
    that results of operations for a long-lived asset that is being held for
    sale or has already been disposed of be reported as discontinued operations
    on the statement of operations. As a result, the consolidated statements of
    operations have been restated as of January 1, 2002 to reflect the
    operations of Summerwalk Apartments as income from discontinued operations
    due to its sale in January 2004.

(1) Property is held by a limited partnership of which the partnership owns a
    99% interest.

     On January 15, 2004, the partnership sold Summerwalk Apartments to an
unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $14,825,000. The net proceeds
realized by the partnership were approximately $13,589,000 after payment of
closing costs of approximately $596,000 and a prepayment penalty of
approximately $640,000 owed by the partnership and paid by the buyer. The
partnership paid the general partner an incentive compensation fee of
approximately $222,000 upon the sale, in accordance with the partnership
agreement. The partnership used approximately $4,642,000 of the proceeds to
repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The partnership realized a gain of
approximately $12,012,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a
result of this sale.

     Legal Proceedings.  From time to time, your partnership may be a party to a
variety of legal proceedings related to its ownership of properties which arise
in the ordinary course of business. See "The Offer -- Section 9. The Lawsuit and
the Settlement."

16.  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 affiliate, 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, together with AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which is our
affiliate), own 36,316 units, or 75.58%, of the outstanding 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. 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. See "The
Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer."

17.  SOURCE OF FUNDS

     We expect that approximately $2,092,600 will be required to purchase all of
the limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer exclusive of
fees and expenses. For more information regarding fees and expenses, see "The
Offer -- Section 21. Fees and Expenses."

                                        49


     In addition to this offer, we intend to make concurrent offers to acquire
interests in approximately 7 other limited partnerships. If all such offers were
fully subscribed for cash, we would be required to pay approximately $33.4
million for all such units. If for some reason we did not have such funds
available, we might extend these offers for a period of time sufficient for us
to obtain additional funds, or we could terminate the offers. However, we do not
expect all such offers to be fully subscribed. Additionally, we believe that we
will have sufficient cash on hand and available sources of financing to acquire
all units tendered pursuant to such offers. As of September 30, 2004, we had
$122.5 million of cash on hand and $258.4 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.

     We have a $445 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. We are the borrower and all obligations
thereunder are guaranteed by certain of AIMCO's 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 2.15% and 2.85% in the
case of LIBOR-based loans and between 0.65% and 1.35% in the case of base rate
loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility expires on
July 31, 2005 and can be extended at AIMCO's option for a one-year term on a
one-time basis.

18.  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.

     No provisions have been made with regard to the offer to allow you or other
limited partners to inspect the books and records of the partnership or to
obtain counsel or appraisal services at our expense or at the expense of your
partnership. However, you have the right under your partnership's agreement of
limited partnership to obtain a list of the limited partners in your
partnership.

19.  CONDITIONS TO THE 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:

     - any change shall have occurred or been threatened in the business,

       local markets in which your partnership owns or operates its properties,
       including any fire, flood, natural disaster, casualty loss, or act of God
       that is adverse to your partnership or the value of your units to us,
       which change would, individually or in the aggregate, result in an
       adverse effect on net operating income of your partnership of more than
       $10,000 per year, or a decrease in value of an asset of your partnership,
       or the incurrence of a liability with respect to your partnership, in an
       amount in excess of $100,000 (a "Material Adverse Effect")

     - 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 the United States, (ii) a decline in
       the closing share price of AIMCO's Class A Common Stock of more than
       5.0%, measured from the close of business on the last trading day
       preceding the date of this offer and the close of business on the last
       trading day preceding 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

                                        50

20.  CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS

     General.  Except as set forth in this Section 20, we are not 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 and Rule 13e-3 Transaction 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 20.

     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 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.

21.  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 The Altman Group, Inc. to act as Information Agent in
connection with our offer. The Information Agent may contact holders of units by
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. The partnership will not be responsible for paying any
of the fees or expenses incurred by us in connection with this offer.
