November 16, 1999

Baron Capital Properties, L.P.
Baron Capital Trust
7826 Cooper Road
Cincinnati, Ohio 45242

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to our Founders' Subscription Agreement
("Agreement"), made as of February 3, 1998, whereby each of the undersigned
subscribed for 601,080 Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") in
Baron Capital Properties L.P. ("Partnership"), subject to adjustment, which
can be exchanged for common shares of Baron Capital Trust ("Trust"). The
amount of Units to be received by each of the undersigned is intended to be
exchangeable for an amount equal to 9.5% of the Common Shares of the Trust
issued and outstanding upon completion of the public offering ("Cash
Offering") of the Trust's common shares. It was originally contemplated that
the offering would be completed by May 14, 1999 and that date was extended to
November 30, 1999 which is defined as the "Share Determination Date" in the
Agreement. In view of the fact that the Cash Offering has been further
extended to May 31, 2000, the Share Determination Date in the Agreement has
been amended to reflect that change.

         Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that May 31, 2000 shall be
substituted in place of November 30, 1999 as the Share Determination Date in
paragraph 1 of the Agreement.

         Kindly indicate your agreement by signing below.

Mr. Gregory McGrath
Sigma Financial Capital VI, Inc.
7826 Cooper Road
Cincinnati, OH 45242

Gentlemen:

At your request, our firm has inspected and appraised the existing Brookwood Way
apartment community which contains 65 rental apartment units. The subject
property is located at 327 N. Brookwood Way, in the city of Mansfield, Richland
County, Ohio, 44906.

The objective of this appraisal was to estimate the market value of the fee
simple interest in the real estate, including chattels, under market conditions
prevailing on September 22, 1998.

The market value estimate, as contained herein, is contingent upon the following
conditions:

1.     The subject project opened in 1974. The property reports a current
       occupancy of 100.0%. The Appraiser inspected the exterior of the
       apartment community and the interior of one unit. Access to most of the
       units was not available due to the high occupancy rate of the property.

2.     A current certified survey of the subject project verifying the site
       dimensions, area calculations, access, building locations, building area
       calculations, unit mix and the legal description as set out herein.

3.     The Appraiser has not been provided with environmental reports relating
       to the subject site or improvements. This appraisal has been made
       contingent upon the existence of no hazardous contamination of the
       subject site and upon the absence of hazardous building materials being
       incorporated into the subject building improvements. Environmental
       reports relating to the subject site and improvements were not available,
       and should be obtained.

4.     The Appraiser did not review sub-soil, structural, mechanical or other
       engineering reports depicting the current condition of the subject
       property. It is recommended that such reports be obtained. Based upon the
       Appraiser's visual inspection of the subject property and


<PAGE>


Sigma Financial Capital VI, Inc.

Page 2


       discussions with property management, it appears that the subject
       property is in good overall condition. Over the last two years the
       subject property has received repairs and renovations including 1) the
       repair and re-sealing of the parking lot. 2) the replacement of four
       roofs; 3) the replacement and repair of the siding on four building
       endcaps; 4) the replacement of all patio fences; 5) the leveling and
       repair of the project's concrete stoops and walks; 6) the repair and
       replacement of a retaining wall and; 7) the repair and replacement of the
       foundation wall on the south side of Building 7. However, a number of
       items of deferred maintenance were noted and should be cured. The most
       significant items of deferred maintenance have been summarized as
       follows:

       a. Some areas of the property's exterior siding need to be repaired.

       b. Some areas of the property's exterior trim needs to be repaired.

       c. The roof on one building needs to be replaced.

The cost to cure these items of deferred maintenance has been estimated at
$5,000. In addition, during the 4th Quarter of 1998 the property will reportedly
sub-meter the subject units so that sewer, water and garbage costs can be
transferred to the tenant. The estimated cost to sub-meter the subject property
equals $11,375. This appraisal, and the value estimates reported herein, are
subject to the completion of the sub-metering of the subject property in a
timely manner.

This appraisal is subject to: a) the building components on and within the
subject buildings being structurally sound and in good physical condition,
excepting those deteriorated items so noted in this report; and b) the
verification of the cost estimates for the curable physical deterioration set
out herein by a qualified building contractor. This report is subject to
revision based upon the findings of the contractor.

By virtue of the Appraiser's inspection, investigation and analyses, it was the
opinion of the Appraiser that the estimated market value of the "as-is" fee
simple interest in the subject Brookwood Way Apartments, based upon market
conditions prevailing on September 22, 1998, equaled:

             ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                  ($1,775,000)

At the request of the client, an estimate of the market value of the subject
property "as-if" the items of deferred maintenance were cured has also been
made. This value estimate was calculated by adding the previously estimated
costs to cure the deferred maintenance to the "as-is" market value estimate as
reported above. The estimated value of the subject property, "as-if complete"
based upon market conditions existing on September 22, 1998, and subject to the
limiting conditions and contingencies set out herein, was:

                ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

                                  ($1,780,000)

RE:      Heatherwood Phase II Apartments

Dear Mr. McGrath:

Under market conditions prevailing on June 25, 1997, our firm prepared an
appraisal of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community. The Heatherwood Phase
II apartments, which contain 40 units, are located at 1005 Airport Road
(Hoagland Boulevard), in the city of Kissimmee, Osceola County, Florida. The
appraisal of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community was prepared for GMAC
Commercial Mortgage. The function of the appraisal report was to provide a basis
for the underwriting of a mortgage loan by GMAC. The purpose of the appraisal
was to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in the real estate,
including chattels, under market conditions prevailing on June 25, 1997. The
appraisal of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community indicated that the
property had an estimated "as-is" market value of $1,130,000, which was subject
to four specific contingencies.

This letter has been prepared as an addendum to the appraisal of the Heatherwood
Phase II apartment community. The purpose of this addendum is to address items
of deferred maintenance, proposed renovations, and utility submetering.

The appraisal of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community recognized that
deferred maintenance existed at the property. The Appraiser found a
significant amount of deferred maintenance, primarily relating to the
subject's roofs, deteriorated siding, deteriorated patio fences, and the need
for exterior painting. These items of deferred maintenance were described in
detail within the appraisal. The Appraiser estimated the cost to cure the
deferred maintenance at $57,000. In addition, the subject property was found
to suffer from curable functional obsolescence due to the use of one 1BR/1BA
rental unit for storage. The cost to cure this functional obsolescence was
estimated at $1,000. The cost to cure the deferred maintenance and functional
obsolescence, totaling $58,000, was deducted from each of the approaches to
value considered in the valuation of the subject apartment community. The
valuation of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community considered the
Cost, Income, and Market Approaches to value.

The Appraiser has subsequently been provided with a proposed deferred
maintenance repair budget for the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community. The
budget for implementing repairs currently proposed has been set out as follows:

<TABLE>

             <S>                                             <C>
             Roofing                                         $  8,677
             Siding repair/replacement                       $ 28,343
             Exterior painting                               $ 10,780
             Landscaping                                     $  3,000
             Asphalt repair/restriping                       $  3,000
             Interior renovations                            $  2,500
                                                            ---------

             Total repairs and unit upgrades proposed        $ 56,300

</TABLE>


On page 109 of the appraisal, the value of the subject property via the Income
Approach, as if curable physical and functional deficiencies were corrected, was
estimated at $1,160,369. On page 127 of the appraisal, the market value of the
subject property via the Market Approach, as if curable physical and functional
deficiencies were corrected, was estimated at $1,218,816. The Appraiser
developed the Cost Approach to value for the subject property recognizing the
existing deferred maintenance. However, the Cost Approach to value was not given
significant consideration when estimating a correlated value indication for the
property. Based upon the review of the Cost, Income and Market approaches to
value, it is the Appraiser's opinion that the correlated market value estimate
for the subject property, as if curable physical and functional deficiencies
were corrected, would approximate $1,188,000.

You have advised the Appraiser that a utility submetering system will be
installed at the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community. The cost to install
the submetering system approximates $8,200. Submetering utility systems like
that proposed at Heatherwood Phase II apartments enable the landlord to
individually bill tenants for their sewer and water consumption needs. The
Florida market has been in a transition during the past years from landlords
typically providing sewer and water services to the services being paid for by
the tenants. The Appraiser has reviewed the subject market and other comparable
apartment communities in order to determine the market acceptance of utility
submetering and the impacts of utility submetering upon the property's net
operating income.

In general, it was found that approximately 65% of the sewer and water costs can
be passed through to the tenants by implementing this submetering equipment. In
addition, apartment communities instituting utility submetering programs are
able to maintain the same quoted street rents for the individual apartment
units. As a result, the utility submetering income tends to offset a substantial
portion of the property's utility expenses and becomes a direct benefit to the
property's net operating income.

On page 104 of the appraisal of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment community, a
summary of


<PAGE>


Mr. Gregory McGrath

Page 3

actual expenses incurred at the community during 1995 and 1996 was provided,
together with the estimated operating expenses as set forth by the Appraiser at
the date of valuation. This summary of operating expenses indicates that
utilities and trash removal were estimated at the date of valuation to reflect
$16,000 annually. The submetering of the Heatherwood Phase II apartment
community should result in the recovery of approximately $10,400 of this utility
expense. This reflects 65% of the total estimated utility costs.

Recognizing the utility submetering benefits, the net operating income for the
subject property would equal approximately $123,536. In developing the Income
Approach to value, an overall capitalization rate of 9.75% was utilized. When
this estimated overall capitalization rate is applied to the adjusted net
operating income estimate of $123,536, the Income Approach to value reflects a
value indication for the subject property, as if fully submetered, of
$1,267,036. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $8,200. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,258,836. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,259,000.

In developing the Market Approach to value, the effective gross income
multiplier unit of comparison was relied upon when estimating a value indication
for the subject property. On page 127 of the original appraisal report, an
effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 was selected based upon a review of
eight comparable sales of similar apartment complexes.

The effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 utilized in the original appraisal
report was based upon comparable sales which reflected landlord paid sewer,
water and garbage expenses. When submetered, the subject property will reflect
operating expense levels below those reflected by the comparable sales and the
effective gross income multiplier should be adjusted to reflect the lower
operating expenses reflected by the subject property, as submetered.

Therefore, for the purposes of this addendum, an effective gross income
multiplier of 6.50 has been utilized when re-analyzing the Market Approach to
value for the subject property, as submetered. Applying this effective gross
income multiplier of 6.50 to the estimated effective gross income of $203,136
reported on page 109 of the original report, results in a value indication for
the subject property via the Market Approach to value, as if submetered, of
$1,320,384. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $8,200. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,312,184. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,312,000.

Based upon a re-analysis of the subject property, recognizing the impacts of
submetering, the Income and Market Approaches have reflected value indications
for the subject property of $1,259,000 and $1,312,000, respectively. The
correlated value indication for the subject property, as if submetered, has been
estimated at $1,285,000.

In summary, this letter addendum addresses the impacts upon value associated
with correcting the items of deferred maintenance and installing the submetering
system. The resulting value indications are reflected for the Heatherwood Phase
II apartment community:

RE:      Longwood Phase I Apartments

Dear Mr. McGrath:

Under market conditions prevailing on July 2, 1997, our firm prepared an
appraisal of the Longwood Phase I apartment community. The Longwood Phase I
apartments, which contain 59 units, are located at 1524 Clearlake Road in the
city of Cocoa, Brevard County, Florida. The appraisal of the Longwood Phase I
apartment community was prepared for GMAC Commercial Mortgage. The function of
the appraisal report was to provide a basis for the underwriting of a mortgage
loan by GMAC. The purpose of the appraisal was to estimate the market value of
the fee simple interest in the real estate, including chattels, under market
conditions prevailing on July 2, 1997. The appraisal of the Longwood Phase I
apartment community indicated that the property had an estimated "as-is" market
value of $1,630,000, which was subject to four specific contingencies.

This letter has been prepared as an addendum to the appraisal of the Longwood
Phase I apartment community. The purpose of this addendum is to address items of
deferred maintenance, proposed renovations, and utility submetering.

The appraisal of the Longwood Phase I apartment community recognized that
deferred maintenance existed at the property. The Appraiser found a significant
amount of deferred maintenance, primarily relating to the subject's roofs and
deteriorated siding. These items of deferred maintenance were described in
detail within the appraisal. The Appraiser estimated the cost to cure the
deferred maintenance at $34,000. The cost to cure the deferred maintenance was
deducted from each of the approaches to value considered in the valuation of the
subject apartment community. The valuation of the Longwood Phase I apartment
community considered the Cost, Income, and Market Approaches to value.

The Appraiser has subsequently been provided with a proposed deferred
maintenance repair budget for the Longwood Phase I apartment community. The
budget for implementing repairs currently proposed has been set out as follows:

               Roofing                                        $ 21,600

               Total repairs and unit upgrades proposed       $ 60,300

</TABLE>


On page 96 of the appraisal, the value of the subject property via the Income
Approach, as if curable deficiencies were corrected, was estimated at
$1,615,200. On page 117 of the appraisal, the market value of the subject
property via the Market Approach, as if curable deficiencies were corrected, was
estimated at $1,712,664. The Appraiser developed the Cost Approach to value for
the subject property recognizing the existing deferred maintenance. However, the
Cost Approach to value was not given significant consideration when estimating a
correlated value indication for the property. Based upon the review of the Cost,
Income and Market approaches to value, it is the Appraiser's opinion that the
correlated market value estimate for the subject property, as if curable
deficiencies were corrected, would approximate $1,664,000.

You have advised the Appraiser that a utility submetering system will be
installed at the Longwood Phase I apartment community. The cost to install the
submetering system approximates $11,600. Submetering utility systems like that
proposed at Longwood Phase I apartments enable the landlord to individually bill
tenants for their sewer and water consumption needs. The Florida market has been
in a transition during the past years from landlords typically providing sewer
and water services to the services being paid for by the tenants. The Appraiser
has reviewed the subject market and other comparable apartment communities in
order to determine the market acceptance of utility submetering and the impacts
of utility submetering upon the property's net operating income.

In general, it was found that approximately 65% of the sewer and water costs can
be passed through to the tenants by implementing this submetering equipment. In
addition, apartment communities instituting utility submetering programs are
able to maintain the same quoted street rents for the individual apartment
units. As a result, the utility submetering income tends to offset a substantial
portion of the property's utility expenses and becomes a direct benefit to the
property's net operating income.

On page 91 of the appraisal of the Longwood Phase I apartment community, a
summary of actual expenses incurred at the community during 1995 and 1996 was
provided, together with the estimated operating expenses as set forth by the
Appraiser at the date of valuation. This summary of operating expenses indicates
that utilities and trash removal were estimated at the date of valuation to
reflect $27,000 annually. The submetering of the Longwood Phase I apartment
community should result in the recovery of approximately $17,550 of this utility
expense. This reflects 65% of the total estimated utility costs.

Recognizing the utility submetering benefits, the net operating income for the
subject property would equal approximately $170,994. In developing the Income
Approach to value, an overall capitalization rate of 9.50% was utilized. When
this estimated overall capitalization rate is applied to the adjusted net
operating income estimate of $170,994, the Income Approach to value reflects a
value indication for the subject property, as if fully submetered, of
$1,799,937. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $11,600. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,788,337. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,788,000.

In developing the Market Approach to value, the effective gross income
multiplier unit of comparison was relied upon when estimating a value indication
for the subject property. On page 117 of the original appraisal report, an
effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 was selected based upon a review of
nine comparable sales of similar apartment complexes.

The effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 utilized in the original appraisal
report was based upon comparable sales which reflected landlord paid sewer,
water and garbage expenses. When submetered, the subject property will reflect
operating expense levels below those reflected by the comparable sales and the
effective gross income multiplier should be adjusted to reflect the lower
operating expenses reflected by the subject property, as submetered.

Therefore, for the purposes of this addendum, an effective gross income
multiplier of 6.50 has been utilized when re-analyzing the Market Approach to
value for the subject property, as submetered. Applying this effective gross
income multiplier of 6.50 to the estimated effective gross income of $285,444
reported on page 117 of the original report, results in a value indication for
the subject property via the Market Approach to value, as if submetered, of
$1,855,386. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $11,600. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,843,783. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,844,000.

Based upon a re-analysis of the subject property, recognizing the impacts of
submetering, the Income and Market Approaches have reflected value indications
for the subject property of $1,788,000 and $1,844,000, respectively. The
correlated value indication for the subject property, as if submetered, has been
estimated at $1,820,000.

In summary, this letter addendum addresses the impacts upon value associated
with correcting the items of deferred maintenance and installing the submetering
system. The resulting value indications are reflected for the Longwood Phase I
apartment community:

RE:      Sunrise Phase I Apartments

Dear Mr. McGrath:

Under market conditions prevailing on July 2, 1997, our firm prepared an
appraisal of the Sunrise Phase I apartment community. The Sunrise Phase I
apartments, which contain 60 units, are located at 3805 S. Hopkins Avenue, in
the city of Titusville, Brevard County, Florida. The appraisal of the Sunrise
Phase I apartment community was prepared for GMAC Commercial Mortgage. The
function of the appraisal report was to provide a basis for the underwriting of
a mortgage loan by GMAC. The purpose of the appraisal was to estimate the market
value of the fee simple interest in the real estate, including chattels, under
market conditions prevailing on July 2, 1997. The appraisal of the Sunrise Phase
I apartment community indicated that the property had an estimated Aas-is@
market value of $1,300,000, which was subject to four specific contingencies.

This letter has been prepared as an addendum to the appraisal of the Sunrise
Phase I apartment community. The purpose of this addendum is to address items of
deferred maintenance, proposed renovations, and utility submetering.

The appraisal of the Sunrise Phase I apartment community recognized that
deferred maintenance existed at the property. The Appraiser found a significant
amount of deferred maintenance, primarily relating to the subject's roofs and
deteriorated siding. These items of deferred maintenance were described in
detail within the appraisal. The Appraiser estimated the cost to cure the
deferred maintenance at $60,000. In addition, the subject property was found to
suffer from curable functional obsolescence due to the use of one of the 1BR/1BA
units for storage. The cost to cure this functional obsolescence was estimated
at $1,500. The cost to cure the deferred maintenance and functional
obsolescence, totaling $61,500, was deducted from each of the approaches to
value considered in the valuation of the subject apartment community. The
valuation of the Sunrise Phase I apartment community considered the Cost,
Income, and Market Approaches to value.

The Appraiser has subsequently been provided with a proposed deferred
maintenance repair budget for the Sunrise Phase I apartment community. The
budget for implementing repairs currently proposed has been set out as follows:

                           Roofing                                     $ 39,000

                           Interior renovations                        $  5,000

</TABLE>

                           Total repairs and unit upgrades proposed    $ 79,640

On page 96 of the appraisal, the value of the subject property via the Income
Approach, as if curable physical and functional deficiencies were corrected, was
estimated at $1,248,168. On page 117 of the appraisal, the market value of the
subject property via the Market Approach, as if curable physical and functional
deficiencies were corrected, was estimated at $1,479,456. The Appraiser
developed the Cost Approach to value for the subject property recognizing the
existing deferred maintenance. However, the Cost Approach to value was not given
significant consideration when estimating a correlated value indication for the
property. Based upon the review of the Cost, Income and Market approaches to
value, it is the Appraiser's opinion that the correlated market value estimate
for the subject property, as if curable physical and functional deficiencies
were corrected, would approximate $1,361,500.

You have advised the Appraiser that a utility submetering system will be
installed at the Sunrise Phase I apartment community. The cost to install the
submetering system approximates $12,000. Submetering utility systems like that
proposed at Sunrise Phase I apartments enable the landlord to individually bill
tenants for their sewer and water consumption needs. The Florida market has been
in a transition during the past years from landlords typically providing sewer
and water services to the services being paid for by the tenants. The Appraiser
has reviewed the subject market and other comparable apartment communities in
order to determine the market acceptance of utility submetering and the impacts
of utility submetering upon the property's net operating income.

In general, it was found that approximately 65% of the sewer and water costs can
be passed through to the tenants by implementing this submetering equipment. In
addition, apartment communities instituting utility submetering programs are
able to maintain the same quoted street rents for the individual apartment
units. As a result, the utility submetering income tends to offset a substantial
portion of the property's utility expenses and becomes a direct benefit to the
property's net operating income.

On page 91 of the appraisal of the Sunrise Phase I apartment community, a
summary of actual expenses incurred at the community during 1995 and 1996 was
provided, together with the estimated operating expenses as set forth by the
Appraiser at the date of valuation. This summary of operating expenses indicates
that utilities and trash removal were estimated at the date of valuation to
reflect

$27,500 annually. The submetering of the Sunrise Phase I apartment community
should result in the recovery of approximately $17,875 of this utility expense.
This reflects 65% of the total estimated utility costs.

Recognizing the utility submetering benefits, the net operating income for the
subject property would equal approximately $136,451. In developing the Income
Approach to value, an overall capitalization rate of 9.50% was utilized. When
this estimated overall capitalization rate is applied to the adjusted net
operating income estimate of $136,451, the Income Approach to value reflects a
value indication for the subject property, as if fully submetered, of
$1,436,326. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $12,000. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,424,326. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,424,000.

In developing the Market Approach to value, the effective gross income
multiplier unit of comparison was relied upon when estimating a value indication
for the subject property. On page 117 of the original appraisal report, an
effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 was selected based upon a review of
nine comparable sales of similar apartment complexes.

The effective gross income multiplier of 6.00 utilized in the original appraisal
report was based upon comparable sales which reflected landlord paid sewer,
water and garbage expenses. When submetered, the subject property will reflect
operating expense levels below those reflected by the comparable sales and the
effective gross income multiplier should be adjusted to reflect the lower
operating expenses reflected by the subject property, as submetered.

Therefore, for the purposes of this addendum, an effective gross income
multiplier of 6.50 has been utilized when re-analyzing the Market Approach to
value for the subject property, as submetered. Applying this effective gross
income multiplier of 6.50 to the estimated effective gross income of $246,576
reported on page 117 of the original report, results in a value indication for
the subject property via the Market Approach to value, as if submetered, of
$1,602,744. From this value indication it is necessary to subtract the cost to
install the utility sub-metering system, as previously reported at $12,000. This
results in a final value indication for the subject, as sub-metered, of
$1,590,744. This figure has been rounded slightly to $1,591,000.

Based upon a re-analysis of the subject property, recognizing the impacts of
submetering, the Income and Market Approaches have reflected value indications
for the subject property of $1,424,000 and $1,591,000, respectively. The
correlated value indication for the subject property, as if submetered, has been
estimated at $1,510,000.

In summary, this letter addendum addresses the impacts upon value associated
with correcting the items of deferred maintenance and installing the submetering
system. The resulting value indications are reflected for the Sunrise Phase I
apartment community:

Re:      Steeplechase Apartments
         814 W 53rd Street, Anderson, Madison County, Indiana 46013

Dear Mr. McGrath:

In accordance with your request for an appraisal of the above captioned
property, we submit the following. The subject property is improved with a
72-unit apartment complex contained within five buildings. Gross Building area
is calculated at 58,056 Sq. Ft. for all five structures combined, indicating a
gross area on average per unit at 806 Sq. Ft. Land area for the subject property
is estimated at 139,500 Sq. Ft. or 3.2 acres.

The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Market Value as of August 6,
1998, the effective date of this appraisal report and the date of inspection. A
prospective value estimate is not considered applicable, since the project has
achieved a stabilized level of occupancy.

Given the fact the subject property is an apartment property, short term
contract leases typical for apartment projects are in place. The existing leases
are either short-term month to month, less than one year, or a one year term if
newly contracted, therefore a value estimate in fee simple ownership is
applicable.

We are reporting our conclusion via this COMPLETE SUMMARY APPRAISAL REPORT. It
should be clearly understood that COMPLETE SUMMARY APPRAISAL REPORT is one in
which the Departure Provision of the Uniform Appraisal Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice is not invoked. This means that the difference between a
SELF-CONTAINED AND A COMPLETE SUMMARY APPRAISAL REPORT is the level of detail
presented. Backup data and detailed information from which this COMPLETE SUMMARY
APPRAISAL REPORT draws and is referenced to, is available in file and is
considered an integral part of the assignment. The


<PAGE>

Income and Sales Comparison Approaches to value are considered the only
applicable methods of valuation for the subject property.

It should be clearly understood that the reliability of the results of this
COMPLETE SUMMARY APPRAISAL REPORT are not affected by the type of report
supplied Market data used in supporting the various approaches to value were
obtained from, but not limited to: prior appraisals performed by our firm,
developers, real estate agents, appraisers, private individuals, government
records and private market information services to which we subscribe.

Statistical support for economic data was gathered from sources such as but not
limited to: the U.S. Department of Commerce; Bureau of the Census; Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana Regional Council of Governments; Anderson Chamber of Commerce;
various governmental and administrative offices of the City of Anderson City,
and Madison County.

We have personally inspected the property and made a careful study of the
neighborhood data affecting the subject and competing properties. Our findings
and conclusions are contained in the report and accompanying addenda which
follow.

Therefore, considering all factors pertinent to the subject property, its final
"As Is" value estimate as of August 6, 1998 is:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




                                   $1,690,000*


                ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS*


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*THE FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE ASSUMES THAT THE PROPERTY IS FREE OF ANY CONTAMINATION
AS PROVEN THROUGH AN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY TEST PERFORMED ON THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY. THIS ESTIMATE ALSO ASSUMES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SUBJECT
BUILDINGS. FURTHER, ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE OWNERS, CURRENT MANAGEMENT
OR THEIR AGENTS IS ASSUMED TO BE CORRECT AND ACCURATE. THE CONDITION OF UNITS
(ALL UNITS) NOT INSPECTED ARE ASSUMED TO BE UPDATED IN SIMILAR CONDITION TO
THOSE UNITS INSPECTED. THE FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE ASSUMES THE RECOUPMENT OF WATER
AND SEWER CHARGES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS. FINALLY, SINCE NO HISTORIC EXPENSE
DATA WAS PRESENTED ON THE SUBJECT, THE FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE COULD CHANGE WITH A
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF SUCH.

Re:      Proposed Villas at Lake Sycamore Condominium Project
         Sycamore Twp., Hamilton County, Ohio 45237

Dear Mr. Dell:

In accordance with your request for an appraisal of the above captioned
property, we submit the following. The subject property is improved with a
164-unit condominium project to be situated in 23 buildings. The first phase
will reflect 26 units in four buildings and has been approved by the County.

The subject's parent tract is platted as 2 parcels totaling 22.44 acres. The
project phasing per site plans allocated 2.2 acres to Phase 1 and 20.2 to the
2nd phase, thus the site plan data reflects a similar total of 22.4 acres.

The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate both the 1) As Is Value and 2)
Prospective Market Value. Each value estimate will be further explained in the
appropriate section of this report. The "As Is" Market Value estimate is as of
the date of inspection, July 6, 1998. The Prospective Market Value estimate is a
point in time in the future at a projected date of completion, in this case
January 1, 2000. Completion refers the point in time when all the units in the
project are estimated to available for sale. For the purposes of the Cash Flow
statement, the units are assumed to be completed at this point in time.

We have personally inspected the property and made a careful study of the
neighborhood data affecting the subject and competing properties. Our findings
and conclusions are contained in the report and accompanying addenda which
follow.
