shares.  On July 1, 2000, holders of 5,046 units elected to exchange units
for shares, none of which were repurchased.  Following the exchanges as of
July 1, 2000, 100,253, or 34.9%, of the 286,908 outstanding operating
partnership units were held by minority interest partners.


NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Trust intends to continue as a real estate investment trust as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute its taxable income.
Assuming compliance with other requirements of the Code, income distributed
will not be taxable to the Trust.  Accordingly, no provision for federal
income taxes is made in the financial statements. Distributions, however, to
the extent that such payments are from earnings and profits of the Trust,
are taxable to the shareholder recipients as dividend income.



MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

     Contained in this discussion are forward-looking statements which
management believe to be reasonable and informative.  Such statements are
based on assumptions which may not prove to be correct for reasons management
cannot predict.  Consequently, the inclusion of forward-looking statements
should not be considered as representations by the Trust or its management
that expected results will be achieved or that stated objectives will be
attained.

     At June 30, 2000 and 1999, and throughout the quarters and six month
periods then ended, the Trust owned or controlled fifteen apartment
communities containing 2,136 apartment units, three multi-tenant commercial
properties containing 89,000 rentable square feet, and two restaurant
properties leased to operators under net leases.  Five of the fifteen
apartment communities containing a total of 586 units are owned by
partnerships over which the Trust has exclusive control.  A detailed listing
of the investment real estate is contained on Page 2 of the Trust's 1999
annual report.  At June 30, 2000 and 1999 the Trust's net investment in real
estate consisted of apartment properties (94%), commercial properties (5%)
and net-leased restaurant properties (1%).  Except for one restaurant
property in Orlando, Florida, the Trust's real estate investments are located
in Indiana.

     The apartment communities, which comprise 94% of the Trust's investment
property, also account for most of the rental income and expenses reported.
Management expects the real estate portfolio will be unchanged during the
third quarter of 2000, and that operating income and expenses in the third
quarter of 2000 will approximate the comparable amounts reported for the
second quarter of 2000.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Trust reported
increases of 3.2% and 1.4%, respectively, in gross income from real estate
operations over the comparable 1999 periods.  Gross income from apartment
operations accounted for 102% and 119% of the increases for the quarter and
six month periods.  Income from apartment operations increased by 3.4% and
1.7% over the prior year quarter and six month periods on the strength of
1.1% higher average rental rates and improved occupancy.  Economic occupancy
for the second quarter of 2000 was 94.8%, up from 92.7% in the prior year
quarter; and, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was 93.8%, up from
93.2% during the comparable period of 1999.

     Gross revenue from rental properties other than apartments accounted for
5.6% percent of total income from rental operations in the first half of 2000.
Non-apartment revenue decreased by $16,500, or 4.3% compared to the prior
year half due to lower occupancy rates.  Occupancy rates averaged 94% during
the first half of 2000, down from 98% during the comparable six months of
1999.

     Operating expenses, excluding interest and depreciation, for the
apartment properties consumed 49.8% of gross possible income for the second
quarter of 2000, up from 49.6% for the prior year period, and amounted to an
increase of $25,070, or 1.5%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, apartment operating expenses were 48.9% and 49%, respectively, of
gross possible income, up $31,830, or 1%, from the comparable period of 1999.
A comparatively moderate winter season following an unusually severe winter
a year ago resulted in significantly lower winter-related repair expenses
during the first half of 2000. Snow and ice removal costs in early 2000
amounted to approximately $18,000, one half the cost incurred in the early
months of 1999.

     Real estate taxes on Indiana property are assessed on March 1 each year
and are payable in two installments in the following calendar year.  Real
estate tax expense for the current year periods represents one-fourth
(quarter) and one-half (six months) of the estimated real estate taxes
payable during the next calendar year.  Estimates are based on actual tax
payments during the current year with allowances for anticipated rate
increases comparable with past experience.

     Increases in legal, accounting and other professional fees accounted for
the increases of 4.4% and 8.4% in general and administrative expenses between
the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Annual listing fees for NASDAQ of $6,900 and an increase of $12,100 in legal
fees related to general business matters accounted for 85% of the increase in
general and administrative expenses between the six month periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999.  Administrative salaries and related payroll taxes and
benefits changed by less than 1% for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2000 from the prior year periods.  In the first half of 2000, general and
administrative expenses consumed 4.4% of income from real estate operations,
up from 4.1% in the first half of 1999.

     Interest expense related to loans outstanding throughout the second
quarter and six month periods of 2000 and 1999 declined by $38,400 and
$58,600, respectively.  A contract-provided interest rate re-set to market
on a mortgage loan with an unpaid balance of $5.07 million reduced the
annual percentage rate from 9.5% to 8.15% effective April 1, 2000.  That
rate reduction resulted in a decrease in interest expense of approximately
$17,000 for the quarter and six month periods.  The next interest rate re-set
to market on that loan is scheduled for October 1, 2000.  The balance of the
decrease in interest expense from the quarter and six months a year ago
resulted from the scheduled reduction of loan balances.  Scheduled reduction
of mortgage loan balances on partnership-owned properties accounted for
$1,900 and $4,000 of the reduction in interest expense for the quarter and
six month periods, respectively.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     On July 6, 2000, the Trust declared a $.21 per share cash distribution
payable August 14, 2000 to shareholders of record July 28, 2000.  That
distribution will require total disbursements of $361,909.  Four of the five
controlled partnerships declared surplus cash distributions that, in the
aggregate, will result in the payment of $17,400 to minority interest
partners of record on July 28, 2000.

     Other than the requirement for declared, but unpaid distributions,
management is not aware of any significant transactions or events that would
require material expenditures in the second half of 2000.

     Except for $100,000 of short-term debt, the Trust has no obligations,
nor has it made any commitments, which will require expenditures in excess
of funds anticipated to be provided by operations during the remainder of
2000.  No transactions or events have occurred to indicate that funds
provided by operations during the balance of 2000 will differ
disproportionately from the first half of the year.  At June 30, 2000, the
Trust held approximately $1,342,000 in unrestricted cash which management
believes is sufficient to meet anticipated working capital requirements.


INFLATION

     Management believes that the direct effects of inflation on the Trust's
quarterly operations have been insignificant during 2000 and 1999.



PART II

     Item 6(b).  No events occurred during the three months ended June 30,
2000, which would have necessitated the filing of a report on Form 8K.
