Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On August 26, 1997, Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company")
completed the sale of Autumn Ridge for $10,601,000 in cash. Autumn
Ridge is a 207-unit apartment property located in Cobb County in the Atlanta
metropolitan area. Net sale proceeds were $5,045,000 after deduction for loan
repayment ($5,162,000) and closing costs and prorations ($394,000). The
purchaser, Benchmark Autumn Ridge Associates, L.P., is unaffiliated with the 
Company and the transaction was negotiated at arm's length. In negotiating the 
sales price, the Company considered, among other factors, the property's 
historical and anticipated cash flows, the condition of the property, the
extensive renovations completed by the Company and market conditions.
