Also, on June 13, 1997, the Company purchased the LaMonte Park Apartments, a

ITEM 7.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS


(a)  Proforma financial information:

Pro forma statements of operations are presented for the year ended December
31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997.  A pro forma balance sheet
as of March 31, 1997 is also presented.

A summary of the pro forma transactions follows:

On June 11, 1997, the Company purchased the Renaissance Parc Apartments in
Dallas, Texas for $15.7 million exclusive of commissions and closing costs.
The Company acquired the property from DMC Parkway Place Apartments I Joint
Venture.  The Company paid $3.0 million in cash and obtained new mortgage
financing for the remaining $12.5 million of the purchase price.  The mortgage
bears interest at 8.375%, requires monthly payments of principal and interest
of $95,161 and matures in July 2007.

On June 13, 1997, the Company purchased the LaMonte Park Apartments in Houston,
Texas for $3.7 million exclusive of commissions and closing costs.  The Company
acquired the property from Mike Goodwin, an individual.  The Company paid
$146,000 in cash and obtained new mortgage financing for the remaining $3.5
million of the purchase price.  The mortgage bears interest at 8.6%, requires
monthly payments of principal and interest of $30,333 and matures in July 2001.
The seller has informed the Company that audited financial statements for
LaMonte Park Apartments and supporting data relating to the property's
operations are not available.  It is, therefore, impracticable to provide the
required audited statement of operations for the property acquired or proforma
financial information.  The required information will be filed by amendment of
this Form 8-K as soon as practicable, but not later than August 12, 1997.

In addition to the Renaissance Parc Apartments and LaMonte Park Apartments

one in La Mesa, California, in May 1997, and the other in Chantilly, Virginia,
in January 1997.  The properties were purchased for a total of $13.2 million
and represent approximately 21.6% of the Company's consolidated assets at
December 31, 1996.  The Company paid a

total of $4.1 million in cash and financed the remainder of the purchase
prices.  The mortgages secured by the properties bear interest at variable
rates ranging from 9.1875% to 10.75% per annum and mature in 2000 and 2007.  As
one of these office building acquisitions occurred prior to March 31, 1997 it
is already reflected in the March 31, 1997 "actual balance sheet" of the
Company, as presented.

In 1997, the Company has also sold two apartment complexes, the Plumtree
Apartments in March 1997 and the Porticos Apartments in June 1997.  In
connection with the sales, the Company received cash totaling $7.2 million.  As
one of these sales occurred prior to March 31, 1997 it is already reflected in
the Company's "actual balance sheet" as of March 31, 1997, as presented.

These pro forma statements of operations present the Company's operations as if
the purchase and sales transactions described above had occurred at the
beginning of each of the periods presented.
