Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


On July 1, 1999, we purchased  approximately 8 acres improved with 72,108 gross
leasable square feet of an  existing  159,758 square foot shopping center known
as  Town  Center  Commons  by  acquiring  the  interests  of  Inland  Southeast
Investment Corporation and  Inland  Southeast  Acquisition Corp. (collectively,
the "Town Center Affiliates"), both of  which are affiliates of our Advisor, in
Inland Southeast Town  Center  Limited  Partnership  (the "Town Center Property
Partnership"). The Town Center Property  Partnership owns the entire fee simple
interest in only the 72,108 gross  leasable  square feet of Town Center Commons
we purchased and has  no  ownership  interest  in  the other 87,650 square foot
portion of the shopping center.  The portion of Town Center Commons in which we
have  no  ownership  interest  consists  of  an  80,000  square  foot  Galyan's
department store and a 7,650 square foot The Shane Company jewelry store in two
separate buildings.  The portion  of  Town  Center  Commons that we own will be
referred to in this Report  as  "Our  Portion  of Town Center Commons" or "this
Property" and the entire shopping  center  will  be referred to as "Town Center
Commons".

Town Center Commons  is  located  west  of  I-75  on  Ernest Barrett Parkway in
Kennesaw, Georgia, and is approximately 25 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

The Town Center  Property  Partnership  purchased  Our  Portion  of Town Center
Commons on April 13, 1999 from an  unaffiliated third party.  The $9,656,381 we
paid for this  Property  represents  the  total  costs  incurred  by the Inland
affiliated companies in connection with  their  purchase of this Property as of
the date of our  purchase  of  their  interests.    Such  costs consists of the
following:

    *   Purchase Price.......................... $9,494,000
    *   Acquisition costs to third parties......     76,923
    *   Financing costs to an Inland affiliate..     47,458
    *   Financing costs to third parties........     38,000
                                                 -----------
                                 Total.......... $9,656,381
                                                 ===========

Our acquisition cost is approximately  $134  per square foot of leasable space.
We paid  a  total  of  $1,919,737  to  the  Town  Center  Affiliates, since the
outstanding balance of the mortgage  loans and certain prorations were credited
against the purchase price.    Of  such  amount,  $1,914,757 was paid to Inland
Mortgage Investment Corporation, an  Inland  Affiliated  Company, as payment in
full of a promissory note evidencing a  loan made to the Town Center Affiliates
in connection with the purchase in April 1999 of this Property.  The promissory
note provided for payments of  interest  only  at  the rate of 10.9% per annum.
There may be additional expenses  incurred  relative to the acquisition of this
Property, which we will pay.

In evaluating this Property as a potential acquisition, we considered a variety
of factors  including  location,  demographics,  tenant  mix,  price  per foot,
occupancy and the fact that  overall  rental  rates  at the shopping center are
comparable to market rates.   We  believe  that  the shopping center is located
within a vibrant economic area.  The Company did not consider any other factors
materially relevant to the decision to acquire this Property.


                                      -2-



We do not anticipate making  any  significant  repairs and improvements to this
Property over the next few years.   However,  if we were to make any repairs or
improvements, the tenants would be  obligated  to  pay a substantial portion of
any monies spent pursuant to the provisions of their respective leases.

We believe that this Property  is  well located, has acceptable roadway access,
attracts high-quality tenants, is  well  maintained and has been professionally
managed.  This Property will  be  subject  to competition from similar shopping
centers within its market area, and  its economic performance could be affected
by changes in local economic conditions.

We purchased this Property subject to two mortgages and a collateral assignment
of rents and leases in favor  of SouthTrust Bank, N.A., which secure promissory
notes in the aggregate  principal  amount  of  $7,600,000,  which we reduced to
7,258,000 concurrently with the  acquisition.    One  promissory note is in the
principal amount of $4,750,000, requires  monthly  payments of interest only at
the fixed rate of 7% per annum and  is  due  April 13, 2006.  Payment of all or
part of this note before maturity requires a prepayment premium initially equal
to 2% of the amount being  prepaid,  but  declining to 1 1/2% during the sixth,
and 1% in the seventh, loan years.  The other note requires monthly payments of
interest only at a floating rate per annum of 1.75% over a LIBOR related index,
is due April 13, 2000, and may  be  paid  at any time prior to maturity without
penalty.

Our Portion of Town Center Commons,  which  was  built in 1998, consists of two
one-story, multi-tenant retail buildings.   As  of June 29, 1999, this Property
was 96% leased. Tenants  leasing  more  than  10%  of  the total square footage
currently include J.C. Penney Home Store, a home furnishings store, and Baptist
Book Store, a religious retail  store.    The leases with these tenants require
the tenants to pay base annual rent on a monthly basis as follows:

                                           Base Rent
