     The undersigned (the "Limited Partner") hereby acknowledges that he or she
has received and reviewed (i) the Apartment Investment and Management Company
and AIMCO Properties, L.P. Prospectus, dated March 26, 1999, as supplemented or

Instructions hereto, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time (the
"Letter of Transmittal"). (all constituting the "Offer").
    
 
   
     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer, the
undersigned hereby tenders to the Purchaser the units of limited partnership
interest ("Units") in [               ], a [               ] limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units

Units, ("Preferred OP Units"),                Partnership Common Units ("Common
OP Units") or $          in cash, reduced in each case for the amount of

entitled "Description of Units Tendered" under the columns entitled "Number of

     Subject to and effective upon payment of any of the Units tendered hereby
in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby irrevocably
sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon the order of, the
Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units tendered hereby
that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including, without
limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and
distributions of any kind to which the undersigned shall at any time be entitled
in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to become due
to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of the
Partnership Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement or
the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including, without limitation, all
voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or similar rights, and
rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the Partnership; and (iv) all
present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned against the Partnership,
the other partners of the Partnership, or the general partner and its
affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of the Partnership
Agreement, the undersigned's status as a limited partner, or the terms or
conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned or advanced, for services rendered,
for the management of the Partnership or otherwise.
 
     The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the
Purchaser, to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize the transfer of
the Units to the Purchaser including, without limitation, the "Transferor's
(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the Information Agent
(as the undersigned's agent) of the offer price, to become a substitute limited
partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the expiration date of the offer (regardless of the record date for any
such distribution), and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units all in accordance with the terms of
the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the purchase of the Units by the
Purchaser as provided in the Offer. Upon the purchase of Units pursuant to the
Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to
such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents may be given
(and if given will not be deemed effective).
 
     In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and general partner to take any and all actions as may be required
to effect the
   4
 
transfer of the undersigned's Units to the Purchaser (or its designee) and to
admit the Purchaser as a substitute limited partner in the Partnership under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement; (ii) empowers the Purchaser and its agent to
execute and deliver to the general partner a change of address form instructing
the general partner to send any and all future distributions to the address
specified in the form, and to endorse any check payable to or upon the order of
such Limited Partner representing a distribution to which the Purchaser is
entitled to the terms of the offer, in each case in the name and on behalf of
the tendering Limited Partner; and (iii) agrees not to exercise any rights
pertaining to the Units without the prior consent of the Purchaser.
 
     NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY,
THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY DIRECTS THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE
ALL DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE PURCHASER ACCEPTS THE TENDERED UNITS FOR PAYMENT TO
THE PURCHASER OR ITS DESIGNEE. Subject to and effective upon acceptance for
payment of any Unit tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby requests that the
Purchaser be admitted to each Partnership as a substitute limited partner under
the terms of its Partnership Agreement. Upon request, the undersigned will
execute and deliver additional documents deemed by the Information Agent or the
Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and
purchase of Units tendered hereby and will hold any distributions received from
the Partnership after the Expiration Date in trust for the benefit of the
Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly forward to the Purchaser any such
distributions immediately upon receipt. The Purchaser reserves the right to
transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from time to time, to one or more of
its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to the Offer, but
any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of its
obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering limited
partners to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted for payment
pursuant to the Offer.
 
     By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (i) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity deemed
to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 of any
such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the Offer will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.
 
     The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Purchaser may not
be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such
event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not
accepted for payment may be destroyed by the Purchaser (or its agent). UNITS
TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THEIR
ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AS PROVIDED IN THE OFFER.
 
     THE UNDERSIGNED HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PURCHASER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP
MAKES NO RECOMMENDATION TO THE UNDERSIGNED AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR TO REFRAIN
FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE OFFER AND THE UNDERSIGNED HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN
DECISION TO TENDER UNITS.
 
     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Purchaser that the undersigned owns the Units tendered
hereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary action to
validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units tendered
hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and
such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
 
     All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.
 
     The undersigned, if he is accepting the Offer for OP Units, hereby
acknowledges that he has reviewed the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") attached as Appendix B to the
Prospectus, and hereby accepts admission to the Purchaser as an Additional
Limited Partner and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, including,
without limitation, the power of attorney set forth in Section 2.4 of the
Partnership Agreement.

                              (SEE INSTRUCTION 4)
 
     By signing the Letter of Transmittal in the Signature Box, the Limited
Partner certifies as true under penalty of perjury, the representations in Boxes
A, B and C below. Please refer to the attached Instructions for completing this
Letter of Transmittal and Boxes A, B and C below.
 
                                     BOX A
                              SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
                          (SEE INSTRUCTION 4 -- BOX A)
 
     The Limited Partner hereby certifies the following to the Purchaser under
penalties of perjury:
 
     (i) The Taxpayer Identification No. ("TIN") printed (or corrected) on the
front of this Letter of Transmittal is the correct TIN of the Limited Partner,
unless the Units are held in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA); or if this
box [ ] is checked, the Limited Partner has applied for a TIN. If the Limited
Partner has applied for a TIN, a TIN has not been issued to the Limited Partner,
and either (a) the Limited Partner has mailed or delivered an application to
receive a TIN to the appropriate IRS Center or Social Security Administration
Office, or (b) the Limited Partner intends to mail or deliver an application in
the near future (it being understood that if the Limited Partner does not
provide a TIN to the Purchaser, 31% of all reportable payments made to the
Limited Partner will be withheld); and
 
     (ii) Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Limited Partner is not subject to
backup withholding either because the Limited Partner: (a) is exempt from backup
withholding; (b) has not been notified by the IRS that the Limited Partner is
subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or
dividends; or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such Limited Partner is no
longer subject to backup withholding.
 
Note: Place an "X" in the box in (ii) above, only if you are unable to certify
that the Limited Partner is not subject to backup withholding.

                          (SEE INSTRUCTION 4 -- BOX B)
 
     Under Section 1445(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg.
1.1445-11T(d), a transferee must withhold tax equal to 10% of the amount
realized with respect to certain transfers of an interest in a partnership if
50% or more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real property
interests and 90% or more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real
property interests plus cash equivalents, and the holder of the partnership
interest is a foreign person. To inform the Purchaser that no withholding is
required with respect to the Limited Partner's Units in the Partnership, the
person signing this Letter of Transmittal hereby certifies the following under
penalties of perjury:
 
     (i) Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Limited Partner, if an individual,
is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and
if other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign estate or foreign trust (as those terms are defined in the Internal
Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
 
     (ii) The Limited Partner's U.S. social security number (for individuals) or
employer identification number (for non-individuals) is correct as furnished in
the blank provided for that purpose on the front of the Letter of Transmittal;
 
     (iii) The Limited Partner's home address (for individuals), or office
address (for non-individuals), is correctly printed (or corrected) on the front
of this Letter of Transmittal.
 
     The person signing this Letter of Transmittal understands that this
certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the Purchaser and that any false
statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

  4. SPECIAL PAYMENT AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If consideration is to be issued
     in the name of a person other than the person signing the Signature Box of
     the Letter of Transmittal or if consideration is to be sent to someone
     other than such signer or to an address other than that set forth on the
     Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered,"
     the appropriate boxes on the Letter of Transmittal should be completed.
 
  5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The Limited Partner(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
     pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the Limited Partner's
     taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as true, under penalties
     of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box B and, if applicable, Box C.
     By signing the Signature Box, the Limited Partner(s) certifies that the TIN
     as printed (or corrected) on this Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled
     "Description of Units Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box
     B and, if applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
     Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for
     guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.
 
     U.S. PERSONS. A limited partner that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
     individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic
     trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms
     are defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below with respect
     to certifying Box A and Box B.
 
     BOX A -- SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
 
     Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering limited partners must
     certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
     Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered"
     is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by
     the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the limited
     partner being subject to backup withholding.
 
     Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income tax
     backup withholding, the tendering limited partner must certify, under
     penalties of perjury, that such limited partner is not subject to backup
     withholding. Certain limited partners (including, among others, all
     corporations and certain exempt non-profit organizations) are not subject
     to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If
     withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained
     from the IRS. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A, PART (II), UNLESS YOU HAVE
     BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
 
     When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following as
     a guide:
 
     Individual accounts -- should reflect owner's TIN.
     Joint accounts -- should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears
     first.
     Trust accounts -- should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
     IRA custodial accounts -- should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not
     necessary to provide). Custodial accounts for the benefit of
     minors -- should reflect the TIN of the minor. Corporations, partnership or
     other business entities -- should reflect the TIN assigned to that entity.
 
     By signing the Signature Box, the limited partner(s) certifies that the TIN
     as printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is
     correct.
 
     BOX B -- FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
     limited partner transferring interests in a partnership with real estate
     assets meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the
     representations made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax equal to
     10% of the purchase price
   11
 
     \for interests purchased. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is
     not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a
     refund may be obtained from the IRS. PART (I) SHOULD BE CHECKED ONLY IF THE
     TENDERING LIMITED PARTNER IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, AS DESCRIBED THEREIN.
 
     BOX C -- FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering Limited Partner who is
     a Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as
     exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Limited Partner must
     certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box C of this Letter
     of Transmittal, attesting to that Foreign Person's status by checking the
     box preceding such statement. UNLESS THE BOX IS CHECKED, SUCH LIMITED
     PARTNER WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING OF TAX.
 
  6. CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will
     be accepted.
 
  7. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity, form,
     eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a Letter of
     Transmittal and other required documents will be determined by the
     Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The Purchaser's
     interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including these
     Instructions for this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding. The
     Purchaser will have the right to waive any irregularities or conditions as
     to the manner of tendering. Any irregularities in connection with tenders,
     unless waived, must be cured within such time as the Purchaser shall
     determine. This Letter of Transmittal will not be valid until any
     irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the
     Information Agent are under any duty to give notification of defects in a
     Letter of Transmittal and will incur no liability for failure to give such
     notification.
 
  8. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the Information
     Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, such
     person's status as an assignee.
 
  9. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the
     registered holder or any person other than the person signing the Letter of
     Transmittal) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be
     deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the
     payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.
 
   
 10. MINIMUM TENDERS. A limited partner may tender any or all of his, her or its
     Units; provided, however, that because of restrictions in the Partnership's
     Limited Partnership Agreement, a partial tender of Units must be for a
     minimum of [     ] Units (other than limited partners who hold Units in an
     Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan). Tenders of fractional Units
     will be permitted only by a limited partner who is tendering all Units
     owned by that limited partner.
    
 
 11. CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will
     be accepted.
