PART I
Item 1.  Business
     (a)  General Development of Business   Urban Improvement Fund
Limited 1973-II, a California limited partnership (the "Registrant"), was
formed in 1973 for the purpose of investing, through Local Limited
Partnerships (LLP's), in federally and state-assisted low and moderate
income housing projects.  Units of Limited Partnership Interest were sold
in a public offering to investors who required tax shelter for income from
other sources.  The Registrant acquired equity interests as a limited partner
in eleven (11) such Local Limited Partnerships.  One of these projects was
sold in 1978 through a trustee's sale (foreclosure).  One of the
Partnerships, 808 Memorial Drive, sold its interest in real estate during
July 1997 in a tax-free exchange.  The Partnership also changed its name
to 808 Investments Limited Partnership and reinvested the proceeds in
three properties that are conventional, multi-family residential projects
during December 1997.  Two of these properties, Mott Haven Apartment
VII and Mott Haven Apartments VIII are either in default on their
mortgage or technical default due to physical condition of property.

     Despite the efforts of the General Partner, the owners and managers of
Mott Haven Apartments VII and Mott Haven Apartments VIII to preserve
the developments and provide decent and affordable housing, the financial
stability of the developments is threatened by the imminent expiration of
the Section 8 loan management set-aside contracts and the likelihood that
they will not be renewed on this property for federal budget and policy
reasons.  HUD, the owners and the General Partner of Mott Haven
Apartments VII and Mott Haven Apartments VIII believe that it is in the
best interests of the developments and their tenants that the projects be
renovated and reconfigured, and that such result can best be accomplished
through replacement of the existing management and ownership structure
with community-based owners and managers.  The General Partner has
taken steps to transfer these properties to HUD.  The remaining seven (7)
partnerships are described in Item 2 hereof.
<PAGE>

     (b)  Financial Information about Industry Segment   The Registrant is
engaged in only one line of business. 

    (c)  Narrative Description of Business   The real estate business is
highly competitive.  The Registrant competes with numerous established
apartment owners and real estate developers of low income housing
having greater financial resources.  There are additional risks of new
construction of low income housing occurring in an area where the
Registrant has invested in existing government-assisted housing projects. 
Moreover, the outlook for subsidized housing is not determinable, given
existing and proposed federal legislation.

     (d)  Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and
export sales - The Registrant's income is entirely dependent upon revenues
received from the limited partnerships in which it is a limited partner. 
Investment in federal, state and local government-assisted housing is
subject to significant regulation.  These regulations limit, among other
things, the amount of return allowed on the initial equity investment, the
manner in which such properties may be sold and persons to whom such
properties may be sold.  In 1987, fearing the loss of affordable housing
units, Congress passed emergency legislation which prohibited
prepayment of all FHA insured Section 236 or Section 221(d)(3)
mortgages.  Congress passed additional legislation in 1990 known as
LIHPRHA (the Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
Homeownership Act).  However, by 1995, Congress had determined the
program was too expensive to continue.  In March 1996, Congress
changed the compensation program, severely limited funding, and restored
the property owners' right to prepay the FHA mortgages and change the
use of the properties under legislation known as the Housing Opportunity
Program Extension Act of 1996.  The General Partner of the Partnership
has initiated steps to ensure that the Local Limited Partnerships comply
with the provisions of LIHPRHA and subsequent legislation.  See
financial information in Item 6, Selected Financial Data, in this report.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition       
         and Results of Operations

        The Partnership has followed the practice of investing available
funds, not used in the purchase of properties or in operations, in short-term
investments.  Interest income resulted from such short-term investments. 
The Partnership is dependent upon interest earned and the distributions
and repayment of advances from Local Limited Partnerships for cash flow. 
As shown in the table below, the Partnership has received distributions in
recent years.  This trend is expected to continue.  The Partnership has
advanced funds to and received repayments of such advances from
selected Local Limited Partnerships.  The General Partner believes these
net advances will not significantly affect the operations of the Partnership.

</TABLE>

    Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is required to pay the General Partner an annual management fee equal to
one-quarter of one percent of invested assets or $136,548.  (The fee will
not be more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow, as
defined, subject to an annual minimum of $70,000.)  The Partnership
recorded management fee expense of $70,000 per year from 1993 through
1997.  The Partnership will also pay the General Partner a liquidation fee
for the sale of projects.  The liquidation fee is the lesser of (i) ten
percent of the net proceeds to the Partnership from the sale of a project(s)
or (ii) one percent of the sales price plus three percent of the net 
proceeds after deducting an amount sufficient to pay long-term capital gains 
taxes.  No part of such fee shall accrue or be paid unless:  (i) the Limited
Partners'share of the
<PAGE>

proceeds has been distributed to them, (ii) the Limited Partners shall have
first received an amount equal to their invested capital attributable to the
project(s) sold, and (iii) the Limited Partners have received an amount
sufficient to pay long-term capital gains taxes from the sale of the
project(s), if any, calculated at the maximum rate then in effect.

    During the period 1993 to 1997, the Partnership paid incentive
management fees to the General Partner of a Local Limited Partnership. 
These fees were paid from distributions received from this Local Limited
Partnership.

   At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had investments in eight active
real estate limited partnerships as a Limited Partner.  The Partnership
carries such investments on the equity method of accounting.  The
Partnership discontinues recording losses for financial reporting purposes
when its investment in a particular Local Limited Partnership is reduced to
zero, unless the Partnership intends to commit additional funds to the
Local Limited Partnership.  At year-end, all of the investments were
reduced to zero except for 808.  The equity in income in Local Limited
Partnerships resulted from either Local Limited Partnerships, whose
investments have not been reduced to zero, reporting income from
operations and Local Limited Partnerships, whose investments have been
reduced to zero, who paid distributions or repaid an advance.  Additional
advances to Local Limited Partnerships, after an investment is reduced to
zero, are recorded as losses.
<PAGE>

    The components of the Partnership's equity in net income (loss) of the
Local Limited Partnerships for 1997, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as
follows:

</TABLE>

  The net income from 808 Investments Limited Partnership was a result of
the sale of real estate and represents Urban's share of the sales proceeds
which were reinvested in the tax-free exchange.

  The actual combined losses of Local Limited Partnerships will generally
decrease as depreciation and interest decreases and the projects achieve
stable operations.  The distributions to the Partnership from Local Limited
Partnerships are the result of positive cash flow from the operations of
these projects.

Liquidity
  The Partnership is dependent upon distributions from its investments in
Local Limited Partnerships for cash flow.  The Partnership may not be
able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or from distributions
from its interests in Local Limited Partnerships to pay future obligations
as they become due without additional financing or advances from the
General Partner.  The General Partner is under no obligation to advance
additional funds to the Partnership.  The General Partner is monitoring the
operations of the Local Limited Partnerships to ensure that sufficient cash
will be received from the Local Limited Partnerships to sustain operations. 
The General Partner anticipates it will receive adequate distributions from
the Local Limited Partnerships to maintain operations.
<PAGE>

Capital Resources
  The General Partner believes that additional situations may arise where it
would be advantageous to the Partners to exchange properties in a tax-free
transaction.  The Partnership's basis in its properties has been reduced
through depreciation deductions and other losses to levels substantially
below the amount of debt secured by the properties.  Additionally, the
rental properties owned and operated by the Local Limited Partnerships
have typically computed depreciation for financial reporting purposes
using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of
the property.  For income tax reporting  purposes, depreciation generally
has been computed over the same or shorter periods using accelerated
methods.  As a result, the carrying values of the Partnership's investments
in Local Limited Partnerships are substantially greater for financial
reporting purposes than for income tax reporting purposes.  Upon sale or
other disposition of a property by the Local Limited Partnership, the gain
recognized by the Partnership for income tax reporting purposes may be
substantially greater than the gain recorded for financial reporting
purposes.  Accordingly, if the properties are sold, the Partnership, in all
likelihood, would recognize taxable gain in excess of the cash available for
distribution.  If sale proceeds are reinvested in a manner which permits the
original sale to be treated as a like-kind exchange, the Partnership can
defer this gain until the new property is sold.  Additionally, the Partnership
will receive the benefit of any cash flow or appreciation in value of the
new property.  If reinvestments were made, it is likely that the acquired
properties would be conventional, multi-family residential projects.

  The Partnership has made no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners
Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Urban Improvement
Fund Limited   1973-II (a Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related statements of income (loss), changes in partners'
capital (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, and the related schedules listed in Item 14(a)(2) of the
annual report on Form 10-K of Urban Improvement Fund Limited  
1973-II for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.  These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.  We did not audit four in 1997 and 1996
and six in 1995 of the financial statements of Urban Improvement Fund
Limited - 1973-II's Local Limited Partnership investments whose
combined financial statements are shown in Note 4.  These statements
were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us,
and our opinion, to the extent it relates to the amounts included for these
Local Limited Partnership investments, is based solely on the reports of
the other auditors.  Urban Investment Fund Limited - 1973-II's investment
in these partnerships has been reduced to zero.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Urban Improvement Fund Limited  
1973-II as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  In
addition, in our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other
auditors, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information required therein.

Note 1 - Organization and Accounting Policies

  Organization

Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II (the Partnership) was formed
under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act on July 1, 1973, for
the principal purpose of investing in other limited partnerships (Local
Limited Partnerships), which own federal and state-assisted housing
projects.  The Partnership issued 11,335 units of limited partnership
interests pursuant to a public offering of such units which terminated on
December 31, 1973.  The Partnership also issued 100 units of general
partnership interests to Interfinancial Real Estate Management Company
(the General Partner).

The Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II prospectus, dated
October 24, 1973, specified that the General Partner has a five percent
interest in profits, losses and special allocations, and the limited partners
will share the remaining 95 percent interest in profits, losses and special
allocations in proportion to their respective units of limited partnership
interests.

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has investments in eight active
real estate limited partnerships (Local Limited Partnerships), which are
accounted for on the equity method (Note 4).  The investment account
represents the sum of the capital investment and unamortized cost of
acquisition less the Partnership's share in losses since the date of
acquisition.  The Partnership discontinues recognizing losses and
amortizing cost of acquisition under the equity method when the
investment in a particular Local Limited Partnership is reduced to zero,
unless the Partnership intends to commit additional funds to the Local
Limited Partnership.  Repayment of advances and cash distributions by the
Local Limited Partnerships, after the Partnership investment has been
reduced to zero, are recognized as income by the Partnership in the year
received.  Additional advances to a Local Limited Partnership, after an
investment is reduced to zero, are recognized as losses.

Initial rent-up fees paid by the Partnership to the General Partner, deducted
when paid for income tax reporting purposes (Note 2), are capitalized as
costs of acquisition of the Local Limited Partnerships for financial
reporting purposes.  These costs and other costs of acquisition are
amortized using the straight-line method over the lives (fifteen to forty
years) of the Local Limited Partnerships' properties.  Amortization is
discontinued when the investment is reduced to zero.

</TABLE>

The net income from 808 Investments Limited Partnership was a result of
the sale of real estate and represents Urban's share of the sales proceeds
which were reinvested in the tax-free exchange.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Local Limited
Partnerships are summarized in Note 4.

  Taxes on Income

No provision for taxes on income has been recorded in the financial
statements, since all taxable income or loss of the Partnership is allocated
to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Use of Estimates

The Partnership estimates that the aggregate fair value of all financial
instruments at December 31, 1997 does not differ materially from the
aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the
balance sheet.  These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts that the Partnership could realize in a current market exchange. 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and
assumptions.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash Equivalents

Marketable securities that are highly liquid and have maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
that the basis of the limited partners' interests in the Partnership will
include the Partnership's allocable share of basis resulting from mortgage
debt of the Local Limited Partnerships under Section 752 of the Internal
Revenue Code.  

Note 3 - Management of Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II

Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay the General Partner an annual management fee equal to
one-quarter of one percent of invested assets or $136,548.  (The fee will
not be more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow, as
defined, subject to an annual minimum of $70,000.)  This fee was not
payable during the first six years unless annual tax deductions plus cash
distributions aggregated $550 per unit.  The required level of tax
deductions was not achieved in these years and, accordingly, the fee was
not paid for those years.  However, fees of $350,000 have been recorded
as a liability to the General Partner.  Management fees payable to the
General Partner for subsequent years have been accrued if cash flow was
not sufficient to pay the fee in the year incurred.  At December 31, 1997,
additional management fees of $683,167 have been recorded as a liability
to the General Partner.  Upon liquidation, unpaid management fees will
have first priority to the proceeds.  The Partnership will also pay the
General Partner a liquidation fee for the sale of projects.  The liquidation
fee is the lesser of (i) ten percent of the net proceeds to the Partnership
from the sale of a project(s) or (ii) one percent of the sales price plus three
percent of the net proceeds after deducting an amount sufficient to pay
long-term capital gains taxes.  No part of such fee shall accrue or be paid

Note 3 - Management of Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II 
         Continued

unless:  (i) the Limited Partners' share of the proceeds has been distributed
to them, (ii) the Limited Partners shall have first received an amount equal
to their invested capital attributable to the project(s) sold, and (iii) the
Limited Partners have received an amount sufficient to pay long-term
capital gains taxes from the sale of the project(s), if any, calculated at
the maximum rate then in effect.

The General Partner of the Partnership is a corporation in which Paul H.
Pfleger owns a majority interest.  Partnership Services, Inc. (PSI), another
corporation in which Paul H. Pfleger is a majority shareholder, has
contracted with the General Partner and the Partnership to provide certain
management and other services to any projects in which the Partnership
has an interest.  No fees were paid to PSI during 1997, 1996 or 1995.  In
addition, PSI has become the General Partner in two of the Local Limited
Partnerships in which the Partnership has investments:  Community
Circle, Limited and 808 Investments Limited Partnerships.  During 1997,
PSI was removed as General Partner of 808 Investments Limited
Partnership and converted to a Limited Partner.

Note 4 - Investments in Local Limited Partnerships Accounted for on the    
         Equity Method

The Partnership has ninety-five percent to ninety-nine percent interests in
profits and losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. Investments in these
Local Limited Partnerships were made in installments based typically on
the stage of completion and/or occupancy.

Investment in and advances to the Local Limited Partnerships accounted
for on the equity method are as follows:

 Cost of Buildings

For financial statement purposes, the Local Limited Partnerships generally
capitalize all project costs, including payments to the general partners,
interest, taxes, carrying costs and operating expenses offset by incidental
rental income, up to the cutoff date for cost certification purposes.  For
income tax reporting purposes, certain of these amounts were deducted
when paid.

 Depreciation and Amortization

For financial statement purposes, depreciation is computed using the
straight-line and various accelerated methods over useful lives of fifteen to
forty years from the date of completion of the building or rehabilitation,
and three to twelve years for equipment and land improvements.  For
income tax reporting purposes, provisions for depreciation are generally
computed over the same or shorter periods using accelerated methods and
certain rehabilitation costs are amortized using the straight-line method
over sixty months under the provisions of Section 167(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Certain expenses related to obtaining permanent financing for the projects
have been deferred and are being amortized for financial reporting
purposes using the straight-line method over periods of five to forty years.

 Mortgage Notes Payable

The Local Limited Partnerships have mortgages which are payable to or
are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
and the Massachusetts Housing Financing Agency (MHFA) totaling
$17,976,036 at December 31, 1997 ($12,056,743 by HUD and $5,919,293
by MHFA) and $31,995,371 at December 31, 1996 ($12,384,030 by HUD
and $19,611,341 by MHFA).  The mortgage notes payable by 808
Investment Limited Partnership at December 31, 1997 totaling
$19,300,000 are not insured.  The mortgage notes payable are secured by
deeds of trust on rental property and bear interest at the rate of seven
percent to thirteen and one half percent per annum.  The mortgages will be
repaid in monthly installments of principal and interest aggregating
approximately $282,000 over periods of forty years.  HUD will make
interest assistance payments to seven Local Limited Partnerships whose
mortgages are insured under Section 236 in amounts which will reduce the
mortgage payments to those required for mortgages carrying a one percent
interest rate.

  Notes Payable

Notes payable include a residual receipts note of $250,000 that is payable
to a former General Partner of a Local Limited Partnership.  The residual
receipts note was paid in 1997 in conjunction with the sale of real property
by 808 Investments Limited Partnership.  A Local Limited Partnership has
a low interest rate flexible subsidy note payable in the amount of $36,085. 
The note is payable from surplus cash.

 National Approved Housing Act Subsidies and Restrictions

Under terms of the regulatory agreements with HUD and MHFA, the
Local Limited Partnerships cannot make cash distributions to partners of
the Local Limited Partnerships in excess of six percent per annum of
stated equity in the respective partnerships.  Such distributions are
cumulative but can only be paid from "surplus cash," as defined in the
agreements.  The Local Limited Partnerships must deposit all cash in
excess of the distributable amounts into residual receipts funds which are
under the control of the mortgagees, and from which disbursements must
be approved by the respective agencies.  As of December 31, 1997,
approximately $1,459,713 could be paid to partners of the Local Limited
Partnerships as surplus cash becomes available.

Under terms of the regulatory agreements, the Local Limited Partnerships
are required to make monthly deposits into replacement funds which are
under the control of the mortgagees.  Such deposits commence with the
initial principal payments on the mortgage loans.  Expenditures from the
replacement funds must be approved by the respective agencies.

Note 4 - Investments in Local Limited Partnerships Accounted for on the    
         Equity Method - Continued

The Local Limited Partnerships have entered into rent supplement and/or
Section 8 contracts with HUD or state agencies to provide financial
assistance to qualified tenants of the apartment units.  Under terms of these
contracts, HUD will pay a portion of the rent on behalf of qualified
tenants.  The maximum dollar amount of these payments is limited by
HUD.  A substantial portion of rental income is collected through these
contracts.  During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Local Limited Partnerships
received approximately $3,275,000, $4,991,000 and $4,618,000,
respectively, in Section 8 and rent supplement funds.

 Management

The Local Limited Partnerships have entered into property management
contracts with various agents under which the agents are paid property
management fees of approximately five percent to ten and one-half percent
of the gross revenues of the respective projects.  The management agents
are affiliated with or are the general partners of the Local Limited
Partnerships.

Note 5 - Investment in Mott Haven VII and Mott Haven VIII

Mott Haven VII and Mott Haven VIII have experienced cash flow deficits
from operations.  Mott Haven VIII has incurred financial default and Mott
Haven VII may be in non-monetary default due to the physical condition
of the project.  Despite the efforts of the General Partner, the owners and
managers to preserve the developments and provide decent and affordable
housing, the financial stability of the developments is threatened by the
imminent expiration of the Section 8 loan management set-aside contracts
and the likelihood that they will not be renewed on this property for
federal budget and policy reasons.  HUD, the owners and the General
Partner believe that it is in the best interests of the development and its
tenants that the projects be renovated and reconfigured, and that such
result can best be accomplished through replacement of the existing
management and ownership structure with community-based owners and
managers.  The General Partner has taken steps to transfer the property to
HUD.

For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership has recorded the
disposition of its investment in Mott Haven VII and Mott Haven VIII
during November 1996.  The components of the gain on the transfer of
property to HUD is summarized as follows:

 Gain on transfer of property to HUD                      $ 5,223,754
</TABLE>

The General Partner believes that if the Partnership did not consent to the
Workout Agreement (transfer of properties to HUD), it is more likely than
not that HUD would take the necessary steps to sell the properties at
foreclosure sales during 1997.  Such foreclosure sales will most probably
not result in the return of any cash to the  Limited Partners but would
result in the recognition of a significant taxable gain by each limited
partner.  The taxable gain for the limited partners or Urban Improvement
Fund Limited '73-II in the aggregate is estimated to be $5,167,883 or
approximately $429.55 for each unit.  This gain would be passive in nature
and could be offset by any suspended passive loss carryforwards.  It is
estimated that the maximum tax due on this gain would total
approximately $1,990,927 for all limited partners or $165.48 per unit.

Note 6 - Investment in 808 Investments Limited Partnership

808 Memorial Drive Associates sold its real estate project located in
Cambridge, Massachusetts during July 1997 in a tax free exchange.  The
Partnership changed its name to 808 Investments Limited Partnership and
reinvested the proceeds in three properties that are conventional,
multi-family residential projects during December 1997.
