                               AGREEMENT OF SALE


     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 5th day of July, 1996, by and
between SHERMAN OAKS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("Purchaser") and SHADOWRIDGE
INVESTORS, an Illinois Joint Venture ("Seller").

                                  WITNESSETH:

     1.   PURCHASE AND SALE.  Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to
sell at the price of Twelve Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($12,750,000.00) ("Purchase Price"), that certain property ("Property")
in Las Vegas, Nevada, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto,
which Property is known as Shadow Ridge Apartments.  Included in the Purchase
Price is all of the personal property set forth on Exhibit B, which shall be
transferred to Purchaser at Closing (as hereinafter defined) by a Bill of Sale.

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE.  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

          a.   Upon the execution of this Agreement, the sum of $150,000.00 
     ("Earnest Money") to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent (as that term 
     is defined in the Escrow Agreement), by and in accordance with the 
     provisions of the Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement") attached hereto as
     Exhibit C;

          b.   On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), $12,750,000.00 
     (inclusive of all Earnest Money) adjusted in accordance with the 
     prorations by federally wired "immediately available" funds delivered to 
     the Title Insurer (as hereinafter defined) no later than 12:00 Noon 
     Central Time on the Closing Date.  If the funds are not received by 12:00 
     Noon, then, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount 
     equal to any additional mortgage per diem interest costs incurred by the 
     Seller.

     3.   TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY.

          a.   Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a title commitment dated 
     March 20, 1996 ("Title Commitment") for an owner's standard coverage title
     insurance policy ("Title Policy") issued by First American Title Insurance
     Company ("Title Insurer").  The owner's Title Policy issued at Closing 
     will be in the amount of the Purchase Price subject only to real estate 
     taxes not yet due and payable, the general printed exceptions contained in
     the policy and the special title exceptions set forth in 
     Schedule B-Section 2-Part I, Numbers 7, 8 and 9 and Schedule B-Section 
     2-Part II, Numbers 3 through 13, 18 through 21, 23 and 24 of the Title 
     Commitment.  All of the above are herein referred to as the "Permitted 
     Exceptions".  The Title Commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good 
     title as therein shown as to all matters insured by the policy, subject 
     only to the exceptions therein stated.  On the Closing Date, Seller shall

     cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a "marked up" 
     commitment in conformity with the Title Commitment.  Seller shall pay the 
     costs of the Title Policy; however, Purchaser shall pay the costs of 
     "extended coverage" or any special endorsements which Purchaser requires.

          b.   Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey ("Survey") of the 
     Property prepared by SEA Inc. dated July, 1983.  Prior to the Closing, 
     Seller will have the Survey updated and certified to the Purchaser and the
     Title Insurer.  Seller shall pay for the cost of the updated Survey 
     (approximately $9,800.00), but Purchaser shall pay for the cost of the 
     additional requirements requested by Purchaser (approximately $2,000.00).
     If the updated Survey discloses matters which are not reflected on the 
     original Survey and which would prevent the Title Insurer from deleting 
     the survey exception from the Title Policy ("Survey Defects"), then upon 
     notice delivered to Seller by Purchaser within seven (7) days after 
     Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, Seller shall either cause the 
     Survey Defects to be removed from the updated Survey or cause the Title 
     Insurer to insure against loss or damage resulting from the Survey 
     Defects ("Title Indemnity").  If Seller is unwilling to (i) have the 
     Survey Defects removed from the updated Survey or (ii) cause the Title 
     Insurer to issue a   Title Indemnity to Purchaser within five (5) days 
     after receipt of notice from Purchaser of the Survey Defects, then 
     Purchaser shall have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement.  
     Purchaser shall notify Seller of its election within three (3) days after 
     receipt of notice from Seller that the Survey Defects will not be 
     removed or that the Title Insurer will not issue the Title Indemnity.  
     If Purchaser fails to make the election within the aforesaid three 
     (3) days, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has 
     elected to take title to the Property subject to the Survey Defects.  If 
     Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, 
     then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to 
     Purchaser.

     4.   CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple
title to the Property by Grant, Bargain and Sale Deed ("Deed") in recordable
form subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  If Seller is unable to convey
title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions because of the
existence of an additional title exception ("Unpermitted Exception"), then, if
Seller cannot obtain a title indemnity insuring over such Unpermitted
Exception, then Purchaser can elect to take title to the Property subject to
the Unpermitted Exception or terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement, then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest
shall be delivered to the Purchaser.

     5.   PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS.  Seller shall pay the costs of the
documentary stamps (if any) to be paid with reference to the Deed and all other
stamps, intangible, documentary, recording, sales tax and surtax imposed by law
with reference to any other documents delivered in connection with this
Agreement.  Purchaser shall pay all costs related to any mortgage that
Purchaser causes to be recorded against the Property.



     6.   DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

          a.   If the Property suffers damage as a result of any casualty prior
     to the Closing Date and can be repaired or restored in the case of real 
     property for $100,000 or less, or in the case of Personal Property, for 
     $10,000 or less, then Seller shall commence the repair or restoration in 
     an expeditious manner, in which event the Closing Date will be extended 
     until such date as may reasonably be required to complete the repair or 
     restoration.  Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds.  If the cost of 
     repair or restoration exceeds that amount, then Seller can elect to 
     either:  (a) repair and restore same, in which event the Closing Date will
     be extended until such date as may reasonably be required to complete the 
     repair or restoration; or (b) terminate this Agreement upon notice to 
     Purchaser served within twenty (20) business days of such casualty.  If 
     Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, then
     Purchaser will have the option to accept the Property in its damaged 
     condition together with an assignment from Seller of all insurance 
     proceeds and receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the deductible, 
     provided Purchaser notifies Seller by notice served within twenty (20) 
     days after receipt of Seller's notice of election to terminate.

          b.   If condemnation proceedings ("Proceedings") are instituted 
     against the Property and the parties reasonably believe that such 
     Proceedings will result in an award in excess of $100,000.00, then 
     Purchaser can elect to either take the Property subject to the Proceedings
     and an assignment of Seller's interest in the Proceedings or terminate 
     this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall
     be by notice to the Seller within five (5) days after Seller notifies 
     Purchaser of the Proceedings.

          c.   If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph, then 
     the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the 
     Purchaser.

     7.   AS-IS CONDITION.

          a.   Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the
     Property based solely upon its inspection and investigations of the 
     Property and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property "AS IS" and 
     "WITH ALL FAULTS" based upon the condition of the Property as of the date 
     of this Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or
     other casualty or condemnation from the date of this Agreement until the 
     Closing Date.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges 
     that, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth elsewhere in this 
     Agreement, neither Seller nor its consultants, brokers or agents have made
     any other representations or warranties of any kind upon which Purchaser 
     is relying as to any matters concerning the Property, including, but not 
     limited to, the condition of the land or any improvements, the existence 
     or nonexistence of asbestos, lead in water, lead in paint, radon, 
     underground or above ground storage tanks, petroleum, toxic waste or any 
     Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances (as such terms are defined 
     below), the tenants of the Property or the leases affecting the Property, 
     economic projections or market studies concerning the Property, any 



     development rights, taxes, bonds, covenants, conditions and restrictions 
     affecting the Property, water or water rights, topography, drainage, soil,
     subsoil of the Property, the utilities serving the Property or any zoning,
     environmental or building laws, rules or regulations affecting the 
     Property.  Seller makes no representation that the Property complies with 
     Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act or any fire codes or 
     building codes.  Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all 
     liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser may have against 
     Seller, and Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims, for damage, 
     loss, compensation, contribution, cost recovery or otherwise, against 
     Seller, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, relating directly or 
     indirectly to the existence of asbestos or Hazardous Materials or 
     Hazardous Substances on, or environmental conditions of, the Property, or 
     arising under the Environmental Laws (as such term is hereinafter 
     defined), or relating in any way to the quality of the indoor or outdoor 
     environment at the Property.  This release shall survive the Closing.  As 
     used herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" or "Hazardous Substances" 
     means (i) hazardous wastes, hazardous materials, hazardous substances, 
     hazardous constituents, toxic substances or related materials, whether 
     solids, liquids or gases, including but not limited to substances defined 
     as "hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," "hazardous substances," 
     "toxic substances," "pollutants," "contaminants," "radioactive materials,"

     et seq.; the Clean Air Act ("CAA"), 42 U.S.C. Section 7401 et seq.; and in
     any permits, licenses, approvals, plans, rules, regulations or ordinances 
     adopted, or other criteria and guidelines promulgated pursuant to the

          b.   Seller has provided to Purchaser certain unaudited historical 
     financial information regarding the Property relating to certain periods 
     of time in which Seller owned the Property.  Seller and Purchaser hereby 
     acknowledge that such information has been provided to Purchaser at 
     Purchaser's request solely as illustrative material.  Except as may be 
     specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no 
     representation or warranty that such material is complete or accurate or 



     that Purchaser will achieve similar financial or other results with 
     respect to the operations of the Property, it being acknowledged by 
     Purchaser that Seller's operation of the Property and allocations of 
     revenues or expenses may be vastly different than Purchaser may be able to
     attain.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is a sophisticated and experienced
     purchaser of real estate and further that, except as may be specifically 
     set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser has relied upon its own 
     investigation and inquiry with respect to the operation of the Property 
     and, except for any representation of Seller with reference to the 
     historical information, Purchaser releases Seller from any liability with 
     respect to such historical information.

     10.  DEFAULT BY PURCHASER.  ALL EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW IS
TO SECURE THE TIMELY PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND
UNDERTAKINGS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ITS OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE ALL
DEPOSITS ON OR BEFORE THE DATES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN.  IF THE PURCHASER FAILS TO
MAKE ITS ADDITIONAL EARNEST MONEY INTO THE ESCROW ON OR BEFORE THE DATE SUCH
DEPOSIT IS DUE AS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, OR IN THE EVENT OF ANY OTHER DEFAULT OF
THE PURCHASER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER SHALL RETAIN
ALL OF THE EARNEST MONEY AND THE INTEREST THEREON AS SELLER'S SOLE RIGHT TO
DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER REMEDY.  THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL
DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
OR IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE.  THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES.

     11.  SELLER'S DEFAULT.  IF THIS SALE IS NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE OF SELLER'S
DEFAULT, PURCHASER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE THE RIGHT TO SEEK RECOVERY OF ACTUAL
DAMAGES NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF EARNEST MONEY THEN ON DEPOSIT, AND THE
RETURN OF ALL EARNEST MONEY TOGETHER WITH ANY INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, AND
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE AND THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER LIABILITY
TO EACH OTHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN
TO THE CONTRARY, IF SELLER'S DEFAULT IS ITS REFUSAL TO DELIVER THE DEED AND THE
DOCUMENTS SELLER IS REQUIRED TO DELIVER AT CLOSING, THEN PURCHASER WILL BE
ENTITLED TO SUE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

     12.  a.   PRORATIONS.  Rents (exclusive of delinquent rents, but including
prepaid rents); refundable security deposits (which will be assigned to and
assumed by Purchaser and credited to Purchaser at Closing); water and other
utility charges; fuels; prepaid operating expenses; management fees in the
amount of 5% of collections; real and personal property taxes; and other
similar items shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 P.M. on the Closing Date
("Proration Date"), and credited or debited to the balance of the cash due at
Closing.  If for any reason the Proration Date is earlier than the Closing
Date, then for the period from the Proration Date through the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall be entitled to the benefit of all of the income from the
Property and shall bear the burden of all of the operating expenses of the
Property, including, but not limited to, insurance, service contracts, employee
wages and benefits, management fees, utility costs and interest on the existing
mortgages encumbering the Property (if any).  If the amount of any of the items
to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the adjustment thereof shall be on
the basis of the most recent ascertainable data.  All prorations will be final
except as to Delinquent Rents referred to in b below.  If special assessments
have been levied against the Property for completed improvements, then the
amount of any installments which are due prior to the Closing Date shall be
paid by the Seller; and the amount of installments which are due after the
Closing Date shall be paid by the Purchaser.  All assessments for incomplete
improvements shall be paid by Purchaser.

          b.   DELINQUENT RENTS.  If, as of the Closing Date, any rent is in
arrears ("Delinquent Rent") for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs,
then the first rent collected by Purchaser will be delivered to Seller for the
Delinquent Rent.  If Delinquent Rent is in arrears for a period prior to the
calendar month in which the Closing occurs, then rents collected by Purchaser
shall first be applied to current rent and then to Delinquent Rent.  Purchaser
shall deliver Seller's pro rata share within 10 days of Purchaser's receipt of
that Delinquent Rent.  This subparagraph of this Agreement shall survive the
Closing and the delivery and recording of the Deed.

     13.  RECORDING.  This Agreement shall not be recorded and the act of
recording by Purchaser shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser and
shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph.

     14.  ASSIGNMENT.  The Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its
interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.
Any assignment or transfer of, or attempt to assign or transfer, Purchaser's
interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph.  Seller hereby consents to an
assignment to an entity, the ownership and control of which is held by the same
persons owning and controlling Purchaser, provided such assignment is effected
prior to the expiration of the Mortgage Contingency Date.

     15.  BROKER.  The parties hereto acknowledge that CB Commercial Real
Estate Group Inc. ("Broker") is the only real estate broker involved in this
transaction.  Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission or fee ("Fee") pursuant
to a listing agreement between Seller and Broker.  However, this Fee is due and
payable only from the proceeds of the Purchase Price received by Seller.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and any
partner, affiliate, parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers
and directors of Seller or Seller's partner, parent or affiliate (each of the
above is individually referred to as a "Seller Indemnitee") from all claims,
including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by a Seller Indemnitee as a result
of anyone's claiming by or through Purchaser any fee, commission or
compensation on account of this Agreement, its negotiation or the sale hereby
contemplated.  Purchaser does now and shall at all times consent to a Seller
Indemnitee's selection of defense counsel.  Seller agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Purchaser and all shareholders, employees, officers and
directors of Purchaser or Purchaser's parent or affiliate (each of the above is
individually referred to as a "Purchaser Indemnitee") from all claims,
including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee as a
result of anyone's claiming by or through Seller any fee, commission or
compensation on account of this Agreement, its negotiation or the sale hereby
contemplated.  Seller does now and shall at all times consent to a Purchaser
Indemnitee's selection of defense counsel.

     16.  DOCUMENTS AND INSPECTION OF PROPERTY.

          a.   Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of the most recent 
     available tax bills, rent rolls, insurance premiums, and service contracts
     (collectively the "Documents").  

          b.   Purchaser agrees to defend and hold Seller harmless from any 
     injuries, damages or claims of any nature whatsoever which Purchaser's 
     servants, agents or employees may have as a result of Purchaser's 
     inspection of the Property prior to Purchaser's execution of this 
     Agreement.  Purchaser further agrees to restore any damage to the Property
     which may arise as a result of Purchaser's inspection of the Property.

     17.  MORTGAGE CONTINGENCY.  Purchaser's obligations to consummate the
acquisition of the Property is subject to and conditioned upon Purchaser's
obtaining, in Purchaser's sole and reasonable discretion, a non-recourse
mortgage loan in the amount of $8,925,000 at market rates and terms.  Purchaser
has applied for the loan and Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the
application(s) to the Seller.  Upon receipt of a written response to any
application for a mortgage, Purchaser shall deliver a copy of that response to

copy of Purchaser's application for a mortgage loan and a copy of Purchaser's

percent (1/2%) of the amount of the mortgage loan, then this Agreement shall be
terminated.  If Purchaser is unable to obtain a satisfactory mortgage loan
commitment on or before August 7, 1996 ("Mortgage Contingency Date"), then upon
a Mortgage Contingency Notice (Exhibit A in the Escrow Agreement) delivered to
Seller and Escrow Agent no later than 5:00 P.M. Central Time on August 7, 1996,
Purchaser can elect to terminate this Agreement.  In the event of termination
pursuant to this Paragraph, the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest thereon
shall be returned to Purchaser without further notification to or involvement
from seller and neither party shall have any further liability under this 
Agreement.

     18.  SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the parties' obligations to indemnify, defend and hold each
other harmless under various provisions of this Agreement shall forever survive
the termination of this Agreement or the Closing and delivery and recording of
the Deed.

     19.  SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

          a.   Any reference herein to Seller's knowledge, representation, 
     warranty or notice of any matter or thing, shall only mean such knowledge 
     or notice that has actually been received by Phillip Schechter or Mark Van
     De Hey, the asset manager of the Property, and any representation or 
     warranty of the Seller is based upon those matters of which Phillip 
     Schechter or Mark Van De Hey has actual knowledge.  Any knowledge or 
     notice given, had or received by any of Seller's agents, servants or 
     employees shall not be imputed to Seller or the individual partners or the
     general partner of Seller.

          b.   Subject to the limitations set forth in subparagraph a above, 
     Seller hereby makes the following representations, warranties and 
     covenants, all of which are made to the best of Seller's knowledge, none 
     of which shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed:

               i.   The present use and occupancy of the Property conform with 
          applicable building and zoning laws and Seller has received no 
          written notice that any such laws, rules or regulations are being 
          violated.

               ii.  The rent roll ("Rent Roll") attached hereto as Exhibit K 
          which will be updated as of the Closing Date is true and accurate.

               iii. Seller has no knowledge of any pending or threatened 
          litigation, claim, cause of action or administrative proceeding 
          concerning the Property.

               iv.  The financial information which Seller has provided to 
          Purchaser, as required elsewhere in this Agreement, is the same 
          information which Seller relies upon when making reports to its 
          investors and when Seller files its tax returns.  Seller has not 
          intentionally withheld any financial information of a material 
          nature.

          c.   The management, operation, leasing and maintenance of the 
     Property, as presently conducted by the Seller, shall continue until the 
     Closing Date.

          d.   If on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller discovers that a 
     representation or warranty is untrue, then upon receipt of notice from 
     Seller, Purchaser can elect to terminate this Agreement or take title to 
     the Property subject to the untrue representation or warranty.

          e.   For the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement 
     until the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a monthly 
     rent roll and each week a copy of an occupancy report.



     20.  SELLER'S RIGHT TO CURE.  If on or prior to the Closing Date,
Purchaser discovers that any representation or warranty of Seller is untrue or
misleading in any material respect or that Seller is in default under this
Agreement or that Seller has failed to perform a required covenant
(individually or collectively, a "Breach"), then Purchaser shall give Seller
notice of such Breach.  Upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, Seller shall
have ten (10) days in order to cure such Breach and, if necessary, the Closing
Date shall be extended accordingly.  If, after making all reasonable efforts,
Seller is unable to cure the Breach, then Purchaser shall elect by notice to
Seller to either waive the Breach or terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser
fails to give Seller notice of a Breach, then Purchaser shall have waived its
rights to assert any claims for such Breach.

     21.  ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT.  Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit M is a
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated April 8, 1996 prepared by EMG
("Environmental Report") of the Property, which Seller is delivering to
Purchaser at Purchaser's request.  Seller makes no representation or warranty
that the Environmental Report is accurate or complete.  Purchaser hereby
