ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

This Form 8-K/A amends a Form 8-K Current Report dated May 30, 1995, and filed
June 2, 1995, by Vinland Property Trust (the "Trust").  The previously reported
contract purchase price included a sales commission of $78,360 payable to an
affiliate of Tarragon Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Tarragon"), the Trust's advisor
since March 1, 1994, anticipated property repairs of $100,000 and title
insurance and survey costs totaling $17,000.  The Trust was released by the
payee from its obligation to pay the sales commission, and elected to take a
credit against the contract purchase price for the property repairs, which were
to be made by the seller prior to sale closing, and the title policy and survey
costs.  The purchase price was adjusted accordingly from $2.7 million to $2.5
million.

The following is a summary of the transaction:

On May 30, 1995, effective May 1, 1995, the Trust purchased Collegewood
Apartments, Florida Towers Apartments, and Jefferson Towers Apartments, subject
to an existing nonrecourse wrap mortgage of $2.4 million, located in
Tallahassee, Florida for $2.5 million.  The Trust assumed the existing mortgage
loan and, on June 9, 1995, paid the remaining purchase price of $155,000 in
cash from the general working capital of the Trust.  Concurrently with the
execution of the loan assumption, on June 5, 1995, the Trust paid the lender
$300,000 in cash reducing the principal balance by the same amount.  The
mortgage loan calls for monthly interest payments calculated at 10% per annum
and matures June 1997.

The Trust purchased the above properties from Investors Florida Capitol Fund
II, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership (the "Seller").  Investors General,
Inc. ("IGI"), which owns a 1% general partnership interest in the Seller, is
owned by Investors General Acquisition Corporation ("IGAC").  John A. Doyle,
Trustee, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Trust, is a
62.5% stockholder of IGAC.  Mr. Doyle also serves as Director, President and
Chief Operating Officer of Tarragon.  Tarragon is owned by Lucy N. Friedman,
William S. Friedman's wife, and Mr. Doyle.  Mr.  Friedman serves as President,
Chief Executive Officer and Trustee of the Trust and Director and Chief
Executive Officer of Tarragon.  The Friedman and Doyle families together own
approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.  The purchase price
of the properties was based on their fair market values, and the entire
transaction was approved by a majority of the limited partners of the Seller as
well as the unaffiliated Trustees of the Trust.  IGI and Messrs.  Friedman and
Doyle abstained in the votes.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

This Form 8-K/A also provides required financial statements that were not
available at the date of the original filing.

(a)      Pro forma financial information:

Pro forma statements of operations are presented for the year ended November
30, 1994, and the six months ended May 31, 1995.  Because the May 31, 1995,
balance sheet included in the Trust's Form 10-Q dated May 31, 1995, includes
the effect of the following transaction, a pro forma balance sheet is not
included.

The pro forma statements of operations present the Trust's operations as if the
transaction described in Item 2 had occurred at the beginning of each of the
periods presented.

(b)      Combined financial statements of properties acquired:

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT  PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Trustees of
Vinland Property Trust:

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of excess of revenues over
specific operating expenses (as defined in Note 2) of Collegewood Apartments,
Florida Towers Apartments and Jefferson Towers Apartments (the "Properties")
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
These statements are the responsibility of the Properties' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

proposed future operations of the Properties.

In our opinion, the combined statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses
(as defined in Note 2) of Collegewood Apartments, Florida Towers Apartments and
Jefferson Towers Apartments for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS
             OF EXCESS OF REVENUES OVER SPECIFIC OPERATING EXPENSE


1.    ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of Properties

Collegewood Apartments, Florida Towers Apartments and Jefferson Towers
Apartments (the "Properties") are three residential apartment properties
located in Tallahassee, Florida.  The Properties, located adjacent to Florida
State University, are leased primarily to graduate and undergraduate students,
and contain a total of 162 units, all one bedroom, one bath units containing an
average of approximately 500 square feet.

2.    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:

The accompanying combined statements of excess of revenues over specific
operating expenses are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.  These
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of revenues and
operating expenses for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994, as certain costs such as depreciation and amortization and interest have
been excluded since they are not comparable to the proposed future operations
of the Properties.

3.    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

As of December 31, 1994, the Properties were owned by Investors Florida Capitol
Fund II, Ltd. ("IFCF II" or the "Seller"), a Florida limited partnership.  On
May 30, 1995, the Properties were acquired by Vinland Property Trust (the
"Trust").  Pursuant to the terms of the Seller's Limited Partnership Agreement,
a majority of the Seller's limited partners approved the sale of the
Properties.  The Seller's general partner is Investors General, Inc. ("IGI").
IGI, which owns a 1% general partnership interest in the Seller, is owned by
Investors General Acquisition Corporation ("IGAC").  John A. Doyle, a Trustee,
Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Trust, is a 62.5%
stockholder of IGAC.

IFCF II entered into a management agreement with Sunchase American, Ltd.
(Sunchase) on October 1, 1994, extending to September 30, 1995.  Under the
agreement, IFCF II pays Sunchase 5% of the gross property revenues as the
property management fee.  From this fee, Sunchase then remits 1.5% of the gross
property revenues to IGI as an advisory fee.
