Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Casselberry Commons, Casselberry, Florida

On December 30,  1999,  we  purchased  a  shopping  center known as Casselberry
Commons, containing  227,664  gross  leasable  square  feet,  by acquiring from
Inland Southeast Investment Corporation ("ISIC"),  which is an affiliate of our
Advisor, a 100%  ownership  interest  in  Inland  Southeast Casselberry, L.L.C.
Inland Southeast Casselberry, L.L.C.  owns  the  entire  fee simple interest in
Casselberry Commons.  The shopping  center site consists of approximately 21.87
acres.

Casselberry Commons is  located  at  the  northwest  corner  of  State Road 436
(Semoran  Boulevard)  and  Howell  Branch  Road  in  Seminole  County,  City of
Casselberry, a suburb of northeast Orlando, Florida.

ISIC, through its  wholly  owned  limited  liability  company, Inland Southeast
Casselberry, L.L.C., purchased Casselberry  Commons  on  April 30, 1999 from an
unaffiliated third party.  The $17,766,370 we paid for this property represents
all of the acquisition costs and financing costs incurred by ISIC in connection
with its acquisition and  financing  of  the  property  as  of  the date of our
purchase of its ownership interest in Inland Southeast Casselberry, L.L.C.  The
purchase price we paid for the property is approximately $78 per square foot of
leasable space, and consists of the following:

    *   Purchase Price paid by ISIC............................ $ 17,406,000
    *   Acquisition costs paid by ISIC to third parties........      147,491
    *   Financing costs paid by ISIC to an Inland affiliate....       54,046
    *   Financing costs paid by ISIC to third parties..........      158,833

                                 TOTAL......................... $ 17,766,370
                                                                =============

We paid a total of  $3,790,242  for  the  benefit  of ISIC since the outstanding
balance of the first mortgage loan  and certain prorations were credited against
the purchase price.  That amount, together with $145,639 provided by ISIC (for a
total of $3,935,881), was  paid  part  to Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation
and part to Inland  Real  Estate  Investment Corporation, both Inland affiliated
companies, as payment in full of  two  promissory notes evidencing loans made to
ISIC in connection with  its  purchase  of  the  property.  The promissory notes
provided for the payment of interest only at the rates of 10.9% per annum and 8%
per annum, respectively.

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.



                                      -2-



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  a  mortgage,  security agreement and an
assignment of leases, rents and contract  rights in favor of AmSouth Bank, which
secure two promissory notes  in  the  aggregate principal amount of $13,924,800.
One promissory note is in  the  principal amount of $8,703,000, requires monthly
payments of interest only at a fixed  rate  of  7.64% and is due April 29, 2006.
Payment of all  or  part  of  this  note  before  maturity requires a prepayment
premium determined according to an equivalent yield formula, the effect of which
is to provide the lender with the  same  yield  until maturity on the loan as if
the loan had not been paid off.    The  other note is in the principal amount of
$5,221,800, requires monthly payments of  interest  only  at a floating rate per
annum of 2.5% over a 30-day  LIBOR  rate  (which  equated to an interest rate of
8.3% as of the date of acquisition of this property), is due April 29, 2000, and
may be paid at any time prior to maturity without penalty.

Casselberry Commons, which  was  originally  constructed  in 1973 and completely
renovated in 1998, consists of four separate buildings.  In addition to the main
building, there are three  outlot  buildings,  which  are leased to Burger King,
LensCrafters  and  Patsino's  Restaurant.    Not  included  in  the  property we
purchased are two undeveloped outparcels and developed outparcels occupied by an
Arby's Restaurant, Washington Mutual Bank and Specialty Imaging Services.  As of
December 30,  1999,  this  property  was  approximately  97.3%  leased.  Tenants
leasing more than 10% of  the  total  square footage currently include Publix (a
supermarket) and Ross Stores, Inc. (a  discount department clothing 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 $11,015,000.    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 1999 (the  most  recent  tax year for which information is
generally available) were $210,588.

(1)  In general, each tenant pays its  proportionate share of real estate taxes,
     insurance and common area maintenance  costs, although the leases with some
     tenants provide that the tenant's liability for such expenses is limited in
     some way, usually so that their liability for such expenses does not exceed
     a specified amount.  Burger King, LensCrafters and Patsino's Restaurant are
     located on separately assessed parcels for real estate tax purposes and pay
     their  own  tax  bills.    In  addition,  Radio  Shack,  General  Nutrition
     Corporation, Hancock Fabrics, Publix,  Fashion  Bug, Beall's Outlet Stores,
     Inc.,  Shoeworld,  Ross  Stores,   Inc.,  Dockside  Imports,  Burger  King,
     Patsino's Restaurant and LensCrafters pay, as additional rent, a percentage
     of gross sales in excess of a prescribed amount.

(2)  Not included in the list  of  tenants  in the foregoing chart is Kimsworth,
     Inc.  ("Kimsworth"),  to  which  we  lease  103,161  square  feet,  because
     Kimsworth does not occupy any of  that  space.   We sublease the same space
     back from Kimsworth for $92,845 per  year  more than what Kimsworth pays to
     us as rent for its lease.   We  in  turn sublet that space to occupants who
     are included among the  tenants  listed  above  and who actually occupy the
     space, including  Ross  Stores,  Inc.,  Service  Merchandise Company, Inc.,
     Dockside Imports, and Home Care  America.    The rent we receive from those
     tenants is included in the rent in the above table.

(3)  Service Merchandise Company,  Inc.  ("Service  Merchandise")  has filed for
     protection under chapter 11  of  the  federal  bankruptcy  laws in order to
     reorganize its business.  It  has  the  right  under the bankruptcy laws to
     terminate its lease with us, but  as  of  December 31, 1999, it had neither
     accepted nor rejected that lease.   We benefit from the establishment of an
     escrow which will pay us the amount of rent due from Service Merchandise if
     Service Merchandise fails to  pay  the  rent  itself  and for the amount of
     tenant improvements and leasing commissions we incur if Service Merchandise
     rejects its lease and the space is leased to a new tenant.  This protection
     for rent  payments  lasts  until  the  expiration  of  180  days  after the
     effective date of a bankruptcy  court  confirmed plan of reorganization for
     Service Merchandise which is not modified or revoked during the 180 days to
     provide for rejection of the lease,  or the exhaustion of the $270,358 (the
     amount of rent due under  its  lease  for  two years) that was escrowed for
     this purpose.  The escrow also  is  holding an additional $207,300 ($15 per
     square foot) for the mentioned tenant improvements and leasing commissions,
     which will be available until April 29, 2002.


                                      -5-



(4)  Approximately $133,000 is being held in escrow and is available until April
     30, 2001 for disbursement  to  us  for  rent, real estate taxes, insurance,
     common area maintenance charges, leasing commissions and tenant improvement
     costs relating to 3,000  square  feet  of  the vacant space.  Approximately
     $76,000 of these escrowed  funds  are  available  to  be  paid to us at the
     annual rate of $19 per square foot  times the number of square feet of such
     3,000 square feet that remains  vacant  in  the  month for which payment is
     made.  As of the date of  our  acquisition of the property, we are entitled
     to receive $4,750 per month from the escrow.   When all or any part of such
     vacant 3,000 square feet is rented  and  the new tenant begins paying rent,
     the amount we will be entitled  to  receive from the escrow will be reduced
     or eliminated.  In  addition,  approximately  $45,000 of the escrowed funds
     are available for  payment  of  leasing  commissions and tenant improvement
     costs for such vacant 3,000 square  feet,  to be disbursed as and when such
     costs are incurred.  The remainder  of  the escrowed funds are available to
     us for reimbursement of tenant improvement  costs  we paid to our seller as
     part of the purchase price of the property.

(5)  Although the lease with Leedy's Books  expired in December 1999, the tenant
     continues  to  occupy  its  space  on  a  month-to-month  basis.    We  are
     negotiating a new lease with this tenant.  We cannot guarantee that we will
     successfully conclude such negotiations or  that  we  will enter into a new
     lease with this tenant.

(1) For purposes of  this  column,  we  made  no  assumptions  regarding the re-leasing of
    expiring leases.  Therefore, no amount is  included in this column for any lease which
    will expire during the specified 10-year period, commencing with its actual expiration
    date and continuing throughout the remaining years shown in this table.

(2) In view of the assumption made with  regard  to Total Annual Base Rent as explained in
    footnote (1), the percentages  shown  may  not  be  reflective  of the expected actual
    percentages.

(3) The foregoing assumptions should not be deemed indicative of or a prediction of future
    actual results.  It is  the  opinion  of  our  management  that the space for expiring
    leases will be re-leased at market  rates  existing  at  the time of the expiration of
    those leases.
