Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Bartow Marketplace, Cartersville, Georgia

On September 30, 1999, we purchased an existing shopping center known as Bartow
Marketplace located on approximately  46.66  acres and containing 375,067 gross
leasable square feet.   Bartow  Marketplace  is  located on Georgia Highway 20,
near the intersection of US Highway 41 and Georgia Highway 411 in Cartersville,
Georgia.  Cartersville is located  approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown
Atlanta.

We purchased Bartow Marketplace from  an  unaffiliated  third party.  Our total
acquisition  cost,  including  expenses,  was  $24,496,029.    This  amount may
increase by additional costs which  have  not  yet been finally determined.  We
expect any  additional  costs  to  be  immaterial.    Our  acquisition  cost is
approximately $65 per square  foot  of  leasable  space,  which consists of the
following:

    *   Purchase Price.......................... $ 24,326,600
    *   Acquisition costs to third parties......       84,429
    *   Financing costs to an Inland affiliate..       35,000
    *   Financing costs to third parties........       50,000

                                 Total.......... $ 24,496,029
                                                 =============

In evaluating this property as a potential acquisition, we considered a variety
of factors including location, demographics, tenant mix, price per square 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.    We  did  not  consider  any other factors
materially relevant to the decision to acquire this property.

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.














                                      -2-



We purchased this property with the  proceeds  of  a new first mortgage loan in
the amount of $18,375,000  from  SouthTrust Bank, National Association, secured
by deeds to secure debt and  security  agreement and a collateral assignment of
rents and  leases.  The  loan  is  evidenced  by  two  promissory  notes.   One
promissory note is in  the  principal  amount  of $13,475,000, requires monthly
payments of interest only at a  floating  rate  per annum of 1.50% over a LIBOR
related index, is due on  September  30,  2004  and  may be prepaid at any time
prior to maturity without  penalty.    However,  the  note provides that we may
elect to pay interest at a fixed rate equal to the greater of 7.75% or 2.00% in
excess of the rate being paid on U.S. Treasury Securities with a  maturity date
closest to September 30, 2004 at the  time  of exercise of the option.  If this
election is made, then the note may be  prepaid in whole or in part at any time
prior to maturity with a penalty  equal  to  1.00%  of the amount prepaid.  The
other note is in the principal  amount of $4,900,000, requires monthly payments
of interest only at a floating  rate  per  annum  of 1.50% over a LIBOR related
index, is due on September 30,  2000  and  may  be prepaid at any time prior to
maturity without penalty.  We or any of our affiliates are required to maintain
deposit accounts with SouthTrust  Bank,  National Association beginning January
1, 2000; and by June  30,  2000,  we  must maintain an average collected demand
deposit balance or average overnight  repurchase agreement balances of not less
than $2,000,000.   In  the  event  this  condition  is  not met, the applicable
interest rate on both notes  shall  be  increased  by .0025% from the time this
occurs throughout the remaining term of the loan.

Bartow Marketplace, which was built in 1995, consists of a single-story, multi-
tenant retail center.  As of September 30, 1999, this property was 100% leased.
Tenants leasing more than  10%  of  the  total square footage currently include
Wal-Mart,  a  discount  department  store,  and  Lowe's  Home  Centers,  a home
furnishing store.  The leases  with  these  tenants  require the tenants to pay
base annual rent on a monthly basis as follows:

For federal income tax purposes, our depreciable basis in this property will be
approximately $18,372,000.   When  we  calculate  depreciation  expense for tax
purposes, we will use the  straight-line  method.   We depreciate buildings and
improvements  based  upon  estimated   useful   lives   of  40  and  15  years,
respectively.   Real estate taxes for  1998 (the most recent tax year for which
information is generally  available)  were  $22,410.    Wal-Mart and Lowe's are
located on separately assessed  parcels  for  real  estate tax purposes and pay
their  own  tax  bills.  Real  estate   taxes  for  1999  are  expected  to  be
approximately $22,410.

On September 30, 1999, a total of  375,067 square feet was leased to 17 tenants
at this property.   The  following  tables  set  forth certain information with

(2)  Gold & Diamond  Exchange  is  expanding  into  2,400  square  feet of space
     currently occupied by Fashion Bug (which  will downsize by a like amount of
     square footage).  Fashion Bug  will  continue  to pay its current rental of
     $7,500 per month until November 2, 1999 at which time its rent shall reduce
     automatically to $6,000 per  month  (reflecting  the downsizing from 12,000
     square feet to 9,600 square feet).   Gold & Diamond Exchange shall continue
     paying its current rental in  the  amount  of  $1,406 per month through the

     additional square feet taken  from  Fashion  Bug)  at which time its rental
     shall automatically increase to $4,218 per month.
