Item 2.       Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         TownePlace  Suites  by  Marriott  located  in  Newark,  California.  On
November 3, 2000,  the Company  acquired a TownePlace  Suites located in Newark,
California (the "Newark  Property") for $13,600,000  from TownePlace  Management
Corporation.  The  Company,  as  lessor,  has  entered  into a  long-term  lease
agreement  relating to this Property.  The general terms of the lease  agreement
are described in the  Prospectus  under the heading " -- Description of Property
Leases." The principal features of the lease are as follows:

o        The initial term of the lease expires in approximately 15 years.

o        At the  end of the  initial  lease  term,  the  tenant  will  have  two
         consecutive renewal options of ten years each.

o        The lease requires minimum rent payments of $1,360,000 per year.

o        In addition to minimum rent, for each lease year after the second lease
         year, the lease requires percentage rent equal to seven percent of room
         revenues in excess of room revenues for the second lease year.

o        A security  deposit  equal to $418,462 has been retained by the Company
         as security for the tenant's obligations under the lease.

o        The  tenant  has  established  an FF&E  Reserve.  Deposits  to the FF&E
         Reserve are made every four weeks as follows:  4% of gross receipts for
         the  first  lease  year  and 5% of  gross  receipts  every  lease  year
         thereafter.  Funds in the FF&E Reserve and all property  purchased with
         funds from the FF&E Reserve shall be paid,  granted and assigned to the
         Company as additional rent.

o        Marriott International,  Inc. has guaranteed the tenant's obligation to
         pay  minimum  rent under the lease.  The  guarantee  terminates  on the
         earlier  of the end of the third  lease year or at such time as the net
         operating  income  from the hotel  exceeds  minimum  rent due under the
         lease by 25% for any trailing  12-month  period.  The maximum amount of
         the guarantee is $1,360,000.

o        The Newark  Property is one of the Pooled  Properties  described in the
         Prospectus  Supplement  dated  October  23,  2000,  under  the  heading
         "Business -- Palm Desert Portfolio."

         The estimated  federal income tax basis of the  depreciable  portion of
the Newark Property is approximately $11.4 million.

         The Newark  Property,  which opened in September  2000, is a TownePlace
Suites by Marriott located in Newark,  California.  The Newark Property includes
127 guest rooms,  an outdoor  swimming  pool, an exercise room and guest laundry
facilities.  The Property is located in Alameda County,  adjacent to Santa Clara
County, which is considered to be the heart of the Silicon Valley. Other lodging
facilities  located in proximity to the Newark Property include an Extended Stay
America,  a Homestead  Village,  two  Residence  Inns by Marriott  and a Woodfin
Suites.  The average occupancy rate, the average daily room rate and the revenue
per available room for the period the hotel has been operational is as follows:

                                 Newark Property
                ---------------------------------------------------
                  Average           Average            Revenue
                 Occupancy         Daily Room       per Available
   Year             Rate              Rate              Room
------------    -------------    ---------------   ----------------

      *2000        80.40%            $87.75             $70.55

* Data for the Newark Property  represents the period  September 1, 2000 through
November 3, 2000.

         The Company  believes  that the results  achieved by the  Property,  as
shown  in the  table  above,  may or may  not  be  indicative  of its  long-term
operating potential, as the Property opened in September 2000.
