Item 5.       OTHER EVENTS

              UPDATES ON POTENTIAL LOAN PAYOFFS

              The following information updates information included in the
              quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2002 of Krupp
              Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership ("KIM"). KIM is providing
              this information solely in light of the announcement by Berkshire
              Income Realty, Inc. ("BIR") of its intention to conduct an
              exchange offer for units. By disclosing the information below, KIM
              does not intend to indicate that it believes this information to
              be material to unitholders. Moreover, KIM expressly disclaims any
              obligation to provide periodic updates regarding the status of its
              mortgage portfolio or otherwise, other than in its regular
              quarterly or annual public filings.

              The borrower on the Wildflower PIM is seeking to refinance the
              property. KIM expects that this loan will be paid off during 2003.
              In addition, KIM expects that the interest rate rebate will be
              returned by the borrower. At this time it is unclear if KIM will
              be entitled to receive any proceeds from the participation feature
              of the PIM.

              The borrower on the Creekside PIM is seeking to refinance the
              property. KIM expects that this loan will be paid off during the
              first quarter of 2003. However, KIM does not expect to receive any
              proceeds from the participation feature of the PIM.

              In the event that both Wildflower and Creekside are paid off, KIM
              would then commence an orderly liquidation of the remaining assets
              of the partnership and subsequently pay a liquidating
              distribution.
