                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2

         This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 17, 2002 (the "Schedule TO") by Equity Resource Lexington Fund, Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, Eggert Dagbjartsson, its
general partner and Equity Resources Group, Inc., its manager (collectively the
"Purchaser") to purchase 6,000 units (the "Units") of limited partnership
interests in Capital Realty Investors III Ltd Partnership, a Maryland limited
partnership (the "Partnership"), at $100 for each Unit, net to the seller in
cash, without interest, less the $100 transfer fee charged by the general
partner of the Partnership (per transaction, not per unit) and less the amount
of any distributions declared or paid from any source by the Partnership with
respect to the Units after May 17, 2002 (without regard to the record date),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
(the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Agreement of Sale, copies of which
are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(l) and (a)(3) (which are herein collectively
referred to as the "Offer"). The information in the Offer to Purchase, including
all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by
reference in response to all the items of this Statement, except as otherwise
set forth below.

         COVER PAGE AND ITEMS 1, 4 and 12

         The Cover Page and Items 1, 4 and 12 of the Schedule TO, which
incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are
hereby amended as follows:

         Cover Page

         The boxed paragraph of the cover page of the Offer to Purchase is
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "THIS OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, EASTERN TIME, ON
                   July 1, 2002, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED."

         Item 1--Summary Term Sheet

         The sixth question of the Summary Term Sheet is amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

                  "How long do I have to decide whether to tender in the offer?

                  You will have at least until 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on
                  July 1, 2002, to decide whether to tender your units in the
                  offer. In addition, if we decide to extend the offering
                  period, as described below, you will have an additional
                  opportunity to tender your units. See "THE OFFER--Section
                  3--Procedures for Tendering Units." Because the Purchaser is
                  offering to purchase less than 100% of all units of the
                  Partnership, there will be no "subsequent offering period.""

         The Summary Term Sheet is amended to read as follows:

                  "How many Units have been tendered as of the Offer's Extension
                  Date?


                                       2


                  Approximately 525 Units have been tender under the Offer at
                  the time of the extension.""

         Item 4--Terms of the Transaction

         The Offer

         The first paragraph of Section 1--"Terms of the Offer" is amended in
its entirety to read as follows:

                  "Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer,
                  the Purchaser will accept for payment and pay for up to 6,000
                  Units that are validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration
                  Date (as defined below). The term "Expiration Date" means
                  12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on July 1, 2002, unless the
                  Purchaser extends the period of time for which the Offer is
                  open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the
                  latest date on which the Offer, as so extended by the
                  Purchaser, shall expire."

         Item 12--Exhibits

         The following is added as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO:

            (a)(5)Press release dated June 17, 2002.
