ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Amendment No. 10 to Statement on Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 10")
is an amendment to, and complete restatement of, Schedule 13D and amendments
thereto previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") relating to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
("TRII Common Stock") of Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Issuer" or "TRII"), which has its principal executive offices located at
3100 Monticello Avenue, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas 75205. The CUSIP number of the
TRII Common Stock is 876287-10-3.

         The Issuer is a Nevada corporation incorporated April 2, 1997 and is
the ultimate successor-in-interest to Vinland Property Trust, a California real
estate investment trust ("Vinland") originally established July 18, 1973 which
commenced operations April 2, 1974. On July 10, 1997 the then shareholders of
Vinland approved the conversion of Vinland into TRII, which was accomplished by
incorporating Vinland as a California corporation and merging it into TRII,
previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vinland, with TRII as the surviving
entity. The effective date of the merger of TRII and the California corporation
was July 25, 1997. Pursuant to such transaction, prior holders of shares of
beneficial interest, no par value, of Vinland became holders of TRII Common
Stock on a one-for-one exchange basis. The CUSIP number of the shares of
beneficial interest, no par value of Vinland was 927449-10-8.

         At special meetings of the shareholders of National Income Realty
Trust, a California real estate investment trust ("NIRT") and Tarragon Realty
Investors, Inc. held on October 20, 1998, the shareholders of each entity
approved a proposal to incorporate NIRT into a California corporation through
the "Incorporation Procedure" described in a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus
dated September 10, 1998 and approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as
of June 5, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among TRII and such California
corporation as the immediate successor to NIRT by virtue of the Incorporation
Procedure and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement including
the conversion of all shares of beneficial interest of NIRT pursuant to such
merger into the right to receive 1.97 shares of TRII Common Stock. On November
23, 1998 NIRT was incorporated pursuant to Section 200.5 of the California
Corporation Code under the name National Income Realty Corporation and such
entity was merged with and into TRII on November 24, 1998 with TRII as the
surviving entity and the ultimate successor to NIRT. Thereupon, each of the
"Reporting Persons" (as defined in Item 2 below) as well as all other
shareholders of NIRT ceased to be holders of any shares of beneficial interest
of NIRT and proportionately received the right to receive additional shares of
Tarragon Common Stock. Prior to the merger, NIRT shares of beneficial interest,
no par value



                                       1

(CUSIP No. 63645C-20-1) were registered pursuant to Section 12g of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and traded on the NASDAQ
National Market System until November 24, 1998.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a) - (f) This Amendment No. 10 is being filed on behalf of Lucy N.
Friedman, William S. Friedman, Beachwold Partners, L.P., a Texas limited
partnership, Tarragon Capital Corporation, a Texas corporation, and Tarragon
Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership whose sole general partner is
Tarragon Capital Corporation. All of Lucy N. Friedman, William S. Friedman,
Beachwold Partners, L.P., Tarragon Capital Corporation and Tarragon Partners,
Ltd., are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons."

         The Reporting Persons filed an Original Statement on Schedule 13D and
Amendment Nos. 1 through 9 thereto (all collectively the "Amended Statement"),
Amendment No. 9 of which was filed with respect to events occurring September
10, 1998. All items set forth in this Amendment No. 10 are in addition to the
information provided in the Amended Statement; accordingly, only the items which
have changed since the filing of Amendment No. 9 are the subject of this
Amendment No. 10. All information set forth in this Amendment No. 10 replaces
the information set forth in the Amended Statement to the extent of any
conflict; correspondingly, the information set forth in the Amended Statement
last reflected by Amendment No. 9 thereto remain correct as of the date of this
Amendment No. 10 unless corrected by this Amendment No. 10.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         No funds were required of the Reporting Persons to originally acquire
the TRII Common Stock on a 1.97-for-one exchange basis pursuant to the merger of
NIRT described in Item 1. above. The consideration given by William S. Friedman
and Lucy N. Friedman for the shares of TRII Common Stock received in connection
with the acquisition by TRII of Tarragon Realty Advisors, Inc. was an exchange
of securities as described in Item 5. below.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of TRII Common Stock
described in Item 5. in connection with the merger of the NIRT transaction. The
Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which would result in the
Reporting Persons seeking to acquire the entire equity interest in the Issuer.
Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 10, the Reporting Persons have no
present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

                  (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of
         the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, except that
         the Report Persons may, if the appropriate opportunity exists, acquire
         additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of any portion or all of
         the securities of the Issuer presently owned; or

                  (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
         reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its
         subsidiaries;

                  (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
         Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; or

                  (d) a change in the present Board of Directors or management
         of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or
         term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; or

                  (e) any material change in the present capitalization or
         dividend policy of the Issuer; or

                  (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or
         corporate structure,; or

                  (g) changes in the Issuer's Charter, Bylaws or instruments
         corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition
         of control of the Issuer by any person; or

                  (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be
         de-listed from a national securities exchange or to cease to be
         authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
         registered national securities association; or

                  (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
         eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
         of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

                  (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
