Dear Limited Partner:

         We understand that you have received from Peachtree Partners an offer
to purchase up to 4.9% of the outstanding limited partnership units at $28 per
unit of Consolidated Capital Properties V (the "Partnership").

         The Partnership, through its general partner, ConCap Equities, Inc.
(the "General Partner"), is required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission to make a recommendation whether you should accept or reject such
offer, or whether the Partnership is remaining neutral with respect to such
offer. The General Partner is not making any recommendation with respect to such
offer for the reason set forth under "The Offer - Section 10. Position of Your
General Partner of Your Partnership with Respect to the Offer" in the enclosed
Supplement, dated July 1, 1999, to the Offer to Purchase, dated June 2, 1999, of
AIMCO Properties, L.P. However, it should be noted that such offer is at a lower
