will,  upon the terms of the Offer,  accept for  payment  from among those Units
tendered prior to or on the  Expiration  Date 181,811 Units on a pro rata basis,

ownership  of such Units,  on the books of the  Partnership,  together  with all
accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to the Purchasers and, upon
acceptance of the tender of such Units by the Purchasers, to exercise all voting
rights  and to  receive  all  benefits  and  otherwise  exercise  all  rights of
beneficial  ownership  of such  Units  all in  accordance  with the terms of the

encumbrances, conditional sales agreements, or other obligations relating to the
sale or  transfer  thereof,  and such Units  will not be subject to any  adverse
claim.  Upon request,  the  undersigned  will execute and deliver any additional
documents  deemed by the Purchasers to be necessary or desirable to complete the
assignment,  transfer,  and purchase of Units tendered  hereby.  The undersigned
understands  that a tender of Units to the Purchasers  will constitute a binding
agreement  between the undersigned and the Purchasers upon the terms and subject
to the  conditions of the Offer.  The  undersigned  recognizes  the right of the
Purchasers  to effect a change of  distribution  address to MacKenzie  Patterson
Fuller,  LP at 1640 School Street,  Moraga,  California,  94556. The undersigned

undersigned  shall  be  binding  upon  the  heirs,   personal   representatives,
successors  and  assigns  of the  undersigned.  Except as stated in the Offer to
Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

Arbitration Agreement: The Purchaser and the undersigned agree that any dispute,
claim,  or  controversy  arising out of a purchase of Units shall be resolved by
submission to binding arbitration in Oakland, California before a retired judge,
and all  parties  agree to be  subject to  jurisdiction  in  California.  If the
parties  are  unable to agree on an  arbitrator,  the  parties  shall  select an
arbitrator  pursuant to the rules of JAMS. The  arbitrator  selected must follow
applicable  Federal  securities  laws and  California  law and the rules of JAMS
consistent  herewith.   The  arbitrator  must  render  a  decision  in  writing,
explaining  the legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal
controverted  issues.  The arbitrator's  decision will be final and binding upon
the  parties.  A judgment  upon any award may be entered in a court of competent
jurisdiction.  Each party shall be  responsible  for  advancing  one-half of the
costs of  arbitration;  provided that the prevailing  party shall be entitled to
recover  expenses  including but not limited to attorney fees,  arbitrator fees,
and  filing  fees.  Neither  party is  waiving  any  rights  under  the  federal
securities laws, rules, or regulations. All matters relating to this arbitration
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.).

The person signing this Letter of Transmittal  hereby certifies the following to
the Purchasers under penalties of perjury:

            (i) The TIN set  forth  in the  signature  box on the  front of this
Letter of Transmittal is the correct TIN of the Unit holder,  or if this box |_|
is  checked,  the Unit  holder has  applied  for a TIN.  If the Unit  holder has
applied for a TIN, a TIN has not been issued to the Unit holder, and either: (a)
the Unit holder has mailed or delivered an  application  to receive a TIN to the
appropriate IRS Center or Social Security Administration Office, or (b) the Unit
holder  intends to mail or deliver an  application  in the near future (it being
understood  that if the Unit  holder  does not  provide a TIN to the  Purchasers
within sixty (60) days, 31% of all  reportable  payments made to the Unit holder
thereafter will be withheld until a TIN is provided to the Purchasers); and

            (ii) Unless this box |_| is checked,  the Unit holder is not subject
to backup  withholding either because the Unit holder: (a) is exempt from backup
withholding,  (b) has not been  notified  by the IRS that  the  Unit  holder  is
subject to backup  withholding  as result of a failure to report all interest or
dividends,  or (c) has been  notified  by the IRS that  such  Unit  holder is no
longer subject to backup withholding.

Note: Place an "X" in the box in (ii) if you are unable to certify that the Unit
holder is not subject to backup withholding.

                           (See Instruction 3 - Box C)
================================================================================

Under  Section   1445(e)(5)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and  Treas.  Reg.
1.1445-11T(d),  a  transferee  must  withhold  tax  equal  to 10% of the  amount
realized with respect to certain  transfers of an interest in a  partnership  if
50% or more of the value of its gross  assets  consists  of U.S.  real  property
interests and 90% or more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real
property  interests  plus cash  equivalents,  and the holder of the  partnership
interest is a foreign  person.  To inform the Purchasers  that no withholding is
required  with respect to the Unit  holder's  interest in the  Partnership,  the
person signing this Letter of Transmittal  hereby  certifies the following under
penalties of perjury:

      (i) Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Unit holder, if an individual, is
a U.S. citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and if
other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign estate, or foreign trust (as those terms are defined in the Internal
Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); (ii) the Unit holder's U.S. social
security number (for individuals) or employer identification number (for
non-individuals) is correctly printed in the signature box on the front of this
Letter of Transmittal; and (iii) the Unit holder's home address (for
individuals), or office address (for non-individuals), is correctly printed (or
corrected) on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. If a corporation, the
jurisdiction of incorporation is __________.

            The person signing this Letter of Transmittal  understands that this
certification  may be disclosed to the IRS by the  Purchasers and that any false
statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

certifies  under penalties of perjury that the Unit holder is an "exempt foreign
person" for  purposes  of the backup  withholding  rules under the U.S.  federal
income tax laws, because the Unit holder:

      (i)   Is  a  nonresident  alien  individual  or  a  foreign   corporation,
            partnership, estate, or trust;

      (ii)  If an  individual,  has not been and plans not to be  present in the
            U.S. for a total of 183 days or more during the calendar year; and

                                  INSTRUCTIONS

              Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

      1. Tender,  Signature Requirements;  Delivery. After carefully reading and
      completing  this Letter of  Transmittal,  in order to tender  Units a Unit
      holder must sign at the "X" on the bottom of the first page of this Letter
      of   Transmittal   and  insert   the  Unit   holder's   correct   Taxpayer
      Identification  Number  or Social  Security  Number  ("TIN")  in the space
      provided below the signature.  The signature must correspond  exactly with
      the name printed (or corrected) on the front of this Letter of Transmittal
      without any change whatsoever.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by
      the registered Unit holder of the Units, a Medallion  signature  guarantee
      on this  Letter  of  Transmittal  is  required.  Similarly,  if Units  are
      tendered  for  the  account  of a  member  firm of a  registered  national
      security exchange, a member firm of the National Association of Securities
      Dealers,  Inc. or a commercial bank,  savings bank, credit union,  savings
      and loan association,  or trust company having an office, branch or agency
      in the  United  States  (each  an  "Eligible  Institution"),  a  Medallion
      signature  guarantee is required.  In all other cases,  signatures on this
      Letter  of  Transmittal  must  be  Medallion  guaranteed  by  an  eligible
      institution,  by completing the signature  guarantee set forth in BOX A of
      this Letter of  Transmittal.  If any tendered  Units are registered in the
      names of two or more joint holders, all such holders must sign this Letter
      of  Transmittal.  If this  Letter of  Transmittal  is signed by  trustees,
      administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or
      others  acting in a fiduciary  or  representative  capacity,  such persons
      should  so  indicate  when  signing  and  must  submit   proper   evidence
      satisfactory  to the Purchasers of their authority to so act. For Units to
      be validly  tendered,  a properly  completed and duly  executed  Letter of
      Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees in BOX A, and
      any  other  documents  required  by this  Letter of  Transmittal,  must be
      received  by the  Depositary  prior  to or on the  Expiration  Date at its
      address  or  facsimile  number  set forth on the  front of this  Letter of
      Transmittal.  No  alternative,  conditional or contingent  tenders will be
      accepted.  All  tendering  Unit  holders by  execution  of this  Letter of
      Transmittal  waive any right to receive  any notice of the  acceptance  of
      their tender.

      2.  Transfer  Taxes.  The  Purchasers  will  pay or  cause  to be paid all
      transfer taxes,  if any,  payable in respect of Units accepted for payment
      pursuant to the Offer.

      3. U.S. Persons.  A Unit holder who or which is a United States citizen or
      resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership,
      a  domestic  trust,  or a domestic  estate  (collectively  "United  States
      persons")  as those terms are  defined in the  Internal  Revenue  Code and
      Income Tax Regulations, should complete the following:

            Box B -  Substitute  Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal  income
            tax  backup  withholding,  the  Unit  holder  must  provide  to  the
            Purchasers the Unit holder's correct Taxpayer  Identification Number
            or Social  Security  Number  ("TIN") in the space provided below the
            signature line and certify,  under  penalties of perjury,  that such
            Unit holder is not subject to such backup withholding.  The TIN that
            must be provided is that of the registered Unit holder  indicated on
            the front of this  Letter of  Transmittal.  If a correct  TIN is not
            provided,  penalties may be imposed by the Internal  Revenue Service
            ("IRS"),  in  addition to the Unit  holder  being  subject to backup
            withholding.  Certain Unit holders  (including,  among  others,  all
            corporations)  are  not  subject  to  backup   withholding.   Backup
            withholding is not an additional  tax. If withholding  results in an
            overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

            Box C - FIRPTA  Affidavit.  To avoid  potential  withholding  of tax
            pursuant to Section 1445 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  each Unit
            holder  who  or  which  is  a  United   States  Person  (as  defined
            Instruction 3 above) must certify,  under penalties of perjury,  the
            Unit  holder's  TIN and  address,  and that the Unit holder is not a
            foreign  person.  Tax  withheld  under  Section 1445 of the Internal
            Revenue Code is not an additional tax. If withholding  results in an
            overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

      4.  Foreign  Persons.  In order for a Unit holder who is a foreign  person
      (i.e.,  not a United  States  Person as  defined in 3 above) to qualify as
      exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unit holder must certify,
      under  penalties  of  perjury,  the  statement  in BOX D of this Letter of
      Transmittal  attesting to that foreign person's status by checking the box
      preceding  such  statement.  However,  such  person  will  be  subject  to
      withholding of tax under Section 1445 of the Code.

      5.  Additional  Copies of Offer to  Purchase  and  Letter of  Transmittal.
      Requests for assistance or additional  copies of the Offer to Purchase and
      this Letter of Transmittal  may be obtained from the Purchasers by calling
