ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On January 29, 1999, ConAm Realty Investors 5 L.P. (the "Partnership") 
completed the sale (the "Sale") of its two remaining properties, Hamptons at 
Quail Hollow Apartments, a 232-unit apartment complex located in Charlotte, 
North Carolina and Lakeview Village Apartments, a 240-unit apartment complex 
located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida (the "Properties"), to DOC Investors, 
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser").  The members 
of the Purchaser are two pension funds which own an aggregate 91% interest in 
the Purchaser, advised by Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, Inc. ("Lend 
Lease"), which is unaffiliated with ConAm Property Services IV, Ltd., the 
general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"), and ConAm DOC 
Affiliates LLC, an affiliate of the General Partner ("ConAm DOC"), which owns 
a 9% interest in the Purchaser.  As described in the Consent Solicitation 
Statement defined below, ConAm DOC has the potential to receive up to an 
additional 18% of the profits of the Purchaser after certain priority returns 
are paid to the members of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser has retained ConAm 
Management Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partner, to act as the 
initial property manager for the Properties.  As required by the 
Partnership's Second Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of 
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), the consent of a majority 
in interest of the Limited Partners to the Sale was obtained pursuant to a 
Consent Solicitation Statement dated December 16, 1998 (the "Consent 
Solicitation Statement").

     The sale price of the Properties was $26,000,000 (before selling costs 
and prorations).  The sale price was negotiated between the General Partner, 
on behalf of the Partnership, and Lend Lease on behalf of the Purchaser.  The 
Partnership received approximately $19,482,000 of cash proceeds from the 
Sale, net of closing costs of approximately $110,000 and repayment of 
indebtedness of approximately $6,408,000.  All net cash proceeds from the 
Sale, less any amount the General Partner determines to set aside as a 
reserve for contingencies, will be distributed to the Limited Partners.

     The Purchaser purchased the Properties on an "As Is" basis with only 
limited representations and warranties by the Partnership as to the condition 
of the Properties or their fitness for any purpose.  Any representations made 
by the Partnership will survive for only a period of six months following the 
closing date.  Although it is not expected, the Partnership could ultimately 
have some liability to the Purchaser under such representations and 
warranties.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     By amendment dated January 18, 1999 (the "Amendment"), Section 12 of the 
Partnership's Partnership Agreement was amended to permit proposed sales of 
Partnership properties to "affiliates" of the General Partner, if such 
proposed sales are approved by the Limited Partners.  As required by the 
Partnership Agreement, the consent 



of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners to the Amendment was 
obtained pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(a)  Financial Statements.  Not applicable.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information - Narrative.

     As a result of the Sale of the Properties by the Partnership, beyond the 
date of sale there will be no further rental income, property operating 
expenses, interest expense, or depreciation and amortization expenses in the 
consolidated financial statements of the Partnership.  For the Partnership's 
fiscal year ended November 30, 1997 (the last fiscal year for which 
information is available at the date of this Report) such amounts were 
$3,714,870, $2,123,570, $484,182, and $879,851, respectively.  Rental income, 
property operating expenses, interest expense, and depreciation and 
amortization expenses were $2,972,041, $1,546,029, $357,166, and $663,077, 
respectively, for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 in the consolidated 
financial statements of the Partnership.  Also as a result of the Sale of the 
Properties, there are no further assets and liabilities related to the 
Properties in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements, which at 
August 31, 1998 consisted of investments in real estate, less accumulated 
depreciation, of $14,896,198; restricted cash of $363,408; other assets, net 
of accumulated amortization, of $315,268; mortgage payable of $6,103,944 and 
security deposits of $82,135. Following the Sale, the Partnership's only 
asset will be cash and cash equivalents; its only liabilities will be 
distribution payable and accounts payable and accrued expenses; its only 
income will be interest income; and its only expenses will be general and 
administrative expenses of winding up and liquidating the Partnership.
