ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On October 23, 1996, Vinland Property Trust (the "Trust") sold its interest in
Polynesia Village Apartments, a 448-unit complex located in Tacoma, Washington,
to Pearl Street 1995, L.L.C., a Washington limited liability company not
affiliated with the Trust or any of its officers or trustees, for $9.6 million.
The Trust had recorded an in-substance foreclosure of the property on August 31,
1995, pursuant to a settlement with a borrower on a $2.0 million mortgage note
receivable.  The Trust accepted a note receivable from the purchaser of
$325,000 for a portion of the purchase price, and the purchaser agreed to
reimburse the Trust for certain capital improvements to the property totaling
approximately $99,000.  Through prorations at closing, the note balance was
reduced to $192,000.  The carrying value of the property, which was subject to
a $5.7 million first mortgage loan, exceeded 10% of the Trust's assets.  The
Trust received net cash proceeds of $3.2 million, including earnest money
deposits received prior to closing, after the payoff of the first mortgage
loan, closing costs and prorated property taxes, and a selling commission to
the purchaser's real estate broker.  In connection with this disposition, the
Trust paid Tarragon Realty Advisors, Inc., the Trust's advisor, a brokerage
commission of 2% of the total sales consideration, or $194,000.  In October
1996, the Trust recorded a gain on this sale of $837,000.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(b)      Pro forma financial information:

Pro forma statements of operations are presented for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1995, and the nine months ended August 31, 1996.  A pro forma
balance sheet as of August 31, 1996, is also presented.

The pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended August 31,
1996, presents the Trust's operations as if the transaction described in Item 2.
had occurred on December 1, 1995. The pro forma statement of operations for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, presents the Trust's operations as if the
transaction described in Item 2. had occurred on August 31, 1995, the date the
Trust acquired the property.  Pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma
balance sheet have been computed assuming the transaction was consummated on
August 31, 1996.
