OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH UP TO 15,270 INCOME UNITS

UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP V
A California Limited Partnership
AT
$45.00 PER UNIT
BY
ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD INSTITUTIONAL FUND 1, L.P.
MACKENZIE PATTERSON SPECIAL FUND
PEACHTREE PARTNERS and
ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD PENSION INVESTORS, L.P.
(collectively the "Purchasers")
THE OFFER, WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS AND PRORATION PERIOD WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00
MIDNIGHT, PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME, ON DECEMBER 31, 1997, UNLESS THE OFFER IS
EXTENDED.
Accelerated High Yield Institutional Fund 1, L.P., MacKenzie Patterson Special
Fund, Peachtree Partners and Accelerated High Yield Pension Investors, L.P.
(collectively the "Purchasers") hereby seek to acquire Income Units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units" or the "Income Units") in University Real
Estate Partnership V, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"). The
Purchasers are not affiliated with the Partnership or its general partners. The
Purchasers hereby offer to purchase up to 15,270 of the Units (but not the
Growth/Shelter Units of limited partnership interest, which are not the subject
of this Offer) at a purchase price equal to $45.00 per Unit, less the amount of
any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between December 2,
1997 (the "Offer Date") and December 31, 1997, or such other date to which this
Offer may be extended (the "Expiration Date"), in cash, without interest, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the
"Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be
supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute the
"Offer"). The 15,270 Units sought pursuant to the Offer represent approximately
45% of the Units of limited partnership interest (including both Income Units
and Growth/Shelter Units), and approximately 86% of the Income Units,
outstanding as of December 31, 1996.
Holders of Units ("Unitholders") are urged to consider the following factors:
Potential Risks for Tendering Unitholders
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future distributions
by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
a tendering Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
total amount which might otherwise be received by the
Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
the Partnership, and the purchase price is less than the
Purchasers' own estimate of the "Estimated
1
<PAGE>
Liquidation Value" of the Partnership's assets ($59.72 per
Income Unit) as discussed below.
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership
of the Units. In establishing the purchase price of $45.00 per
Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish the lowest
price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
the Purchasers' objectives.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units tendered
by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than 15,270
Income Units are tendered.
- Sale of Units could have either favorable or adverse tax
consequences to the selling Unitholder, depending on the
Unitholder's individual tax position. All Unitholders are
urged to consult their own advisors concerning any potential
benefits or other consequences resulting from acceptance of
the Offer.
Potential Risks for Non-Tendering Unitholders
- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchaser may be
in a position to significantly influence all Partnership
decisions on which Unitholders may vote, including, but not
limited to: (i) approval or disapproval of the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership's
assets, (ii) the removal or replacement of the general partner
of the Partnership (and, thereby, potentially influencing the
selection of the manager of the Partnership's property), (iii)
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, and/or (iv)
amendment of the Partnership's Partnership Agreement. The
Purchaser will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its own
interest, which may be different from or in conflict with the
interests of the remaining Unitholders.
- The purchase by the Purchasers of a significant block of Units
pursuant to the Offer could adversely affect the ability of
other Unit holders to resell their Units.
Unitholders should note that the Purchasers are seeking to acquire
Units solely for investment purposes and currently intend to hold them until the
General Partner causes the Partnership to commence liquidation. The Purchasers
believe that the General Partner is likely to seek a sale of the Partnership's
two remaining properties and liquidation of the Partnership, based on its
ongoing review of the relevant market and the Partnership's investment
objectives, sometime prior to the final termination date of December 31, 2027,
set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership was formed in 1977 and
its offering circular dated January, 1978 disclosed an anticipated holding
period for its properties of five to ten years. The Purchasers do not have any
present intention to seek control of the Partnership, to change Partnership
management, to seek a sale of the properties or liquidation of the Partnership
or to otherwise alter the Partnership Agreement or affect Partnership
operations. The Purchasers would, however, expect to exercise their rights as
Unitholders to take such actions as are within their powers and as they may deem
necessary or advisable from time to time during the remaining term of the
Partnership.

THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED. IF MORE THAN 15,270 UNITS ARE VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN, THE
PURCHASERS WILL ACCEPT FOR PURCHASE 15,270 UNITS FROM TENDERING UNITHOLDERS ON A
PRO RATA BASIS, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN.
A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH UNITHOLDER.
The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the
Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for,
any Units, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not
theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, (iii) upon the occurrence of any
of the conditions specified in Section 13 of this Offer to Purchase, to delay
the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect.
Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will promptly be
disseminated to Unitholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform
Unitholders of such change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In the case of an extension of the
Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next
business day after the scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

<PAGE>
To the Income Unit holders of University Real Estate Partnership V
INTRODUCTION
The Purchasers hereby offer to purchase up to 15,270 Units at a
purchase price of $45.00 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions declared
or paid with respect to the Units between the Offer Date and the Expiration Date
("Offer Price"), in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer. Unitholders who tender their Units will not
be obligated to pay any Partnership transfer fees, or any other fees, expenses
or commissions in connection with the tender of Units. The Purchasers will pay
all such costs and all charges and expenses of the Depositary, an affiliate of
certain of the Purchasers, as depositary in connection with the Offer.
For further information concerning the Purchasers, see Section 11 below
and Schedule I.
None of the Purchasers nor the Depositary is affiliated with University
Real Estate Partnership V (the "Partnership"), University Advisory Company, the
Partnership's general partner (the "General Partner"), or with any affiliate of
such persons.
Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:
Potential Risks for Tendering Unitholders
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future distributions
by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
a tendering Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
total amount which might otherwise be received by the
Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
the Partnership, and the purchase price is less than the
Purchasers' own estimate of the "Estimated Liquidation Value"
of the Partnership's assets ($59.72 per Income Unit) as
discussed below.
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership
of the Units. In establishing the purchase price of $45.00 per
Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish the lowest
price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
the Purchasers' objectives.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units tendered
by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than 15,270
Income Units are tendered.
- Sale of Units could have either favorable or adverse tax
consequences to the selling Unitholder, depending on the
Unitholder's individual tax position. All Unitholders are
urged to consult their own advisors concerning any potential
benefits or other consequences resulting from acceptance of
the Offer.

- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchaser may be
in a position to significantly influence all Partnership
decisions on which Unitholders may vote, including, but not
limited to: (i) approval or disapproval of the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership's
assets, (ii) the removal or replacement of the general partner
of the Partnership (and, thereby, potentially influencing the
selection of the manager of the Partnership's property), (iii)
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, and/or (iv)
amendment of the Partnership's Partnership Agreement. The
Purchaser will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its own
interest, which may be different from or in conflict with the
interests of the remaining Unitholders.
- The purchase by the Purchasers of a significant block of Units
pursuant to the Offer could adversely affect the ability of
other Unit holders to resell their Units.
Unitholders should note that the Purchasers are seeking to acquire
Units solely for investment purposes and currently intend to hold them until the
General Partner causes the Partnership to commence liquidation. The Purchasers
believe that the General Partner is likely to seek a sale of the Partnership's
two remaining properties and liquidation of the Partnership, based on its
ongoing review of the relevant market and the Partnership's investment
objectives, sometime prior to the final termination date of December 31, 2027,
set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership was formed in 1977 and
its offering circular dated January, 1978 disclosed an anticipated holding
period for its properties of five to ten years. The Purchasers do not have any
present intention to seek control of the Partnership, to change Partnership
management, to seek a sale of the properties or liquidation of the Partnership
or to otherwise alter the Partnership Agreement or affect Partnership
operations. The Purchasers would, however, expect to exercise their rights as
Unitholders to take such actions as are within their powers and as they may deem
necessary or advisable from time to time during the remaining term of the
Partnership.
The Offer will provide Unitholders with an opportunity to liquidate
their investment without the usual transaction costs associated with market
sales. Unitholders may no longer wish to continue with their investment in the
Partnership for a number of reasons, including the following:
- the absence of a formal trading market for the Units and the
difficulty in selling units in the secondary market
transactions
- general disenchantment with real estate investments,
particularly long term investments in limited partnerships
- the continuing administrative costs and resultant negative
financial impact on the value of the Units of a publicly
registered limited partnership; (The Partnership has only two
remaining properties, but must still comply with all of the
Partnership accounting, tax reporting, limited partner
reporting and public company reporting requirements that it
has been subject to throughout its history. Administrative
costs borne by the Partnership directly reduce the amount of
cash from property operations otherwise available to be
distributed to the Unitholders. Unitholders may wish to
dispose of their Units by accepting the Offer and thereby
avoid indirectly bearing such administrative
7
<PAGE>
expenses for an indefinite period.)
- a more immediate need to use the cash now tied up in an
investment in the Units;
- a desire to eliminate the need for compliance with complicated
and costly tax return requirements and associated expenses
which may result from an investment in the Units; and
- no termination or liquidation has date has been fixed for the
Partnership other than the Partnership Agreement provision for
the term of the Partnership to extend until December 31, 2027
(unless dissolved earlier).
Establishment of the Offer Price
The Purchasers have set the Offer Price at $45.00 per Unit, less the
amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between
the Offer Date and Expiration Date. In determining the Offer Price, the
Purchasers analyzed a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
(i) the lack of liquidity of an investment in the Partnership; (ii) the
Purchasers' estimate of the potential liquidation value of the Partnership's
assets; and (iii) the costs to the Purchasers associated with acquiring the
Units.
The Offer Price represents the price at which the Purchasers are
willing to purchase Units. No independent person has been retained to evaluate
or render any opinion with respect to the fairness of the Offer Price and no
representation is made by the Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as
to such fairness. Other measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to
Unitholders. Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the information
contained herein and consult with their own advisors, tax, financial or
otherwise, in evaluating the terms of the Offer before deciding whether to
tender Units.
The Purchasers are not aware of any secondary market activity in the
Units and therefore have no prevailing market prices to compare to the Offer
Price.
The Purchasers are offering to purchase Units which are a relatively
illiquid investment and are not offering to purchase the Partnership's
underlying assets. Consequently, the Purchasers do not believe that the
underlying asset value of the Partnership is determinative in arriving at the
Offer Price. Nevertheless, using publicly available information concerning the
Partnership contained in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 and in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the
Purchasers used an estimated asset value to derive an estimated market value for
the Units solely for purposes of formulating their offer.
In determining their estimated value of the Units, the Purchasers first
calculated the "Estimated Net Sales Value" of the Partnership's two Properties.
The Estimated Net Sales Value was determined by first determining the property's
estimated annual net operating income ("NOI") for 1997, using the first six
months results as a basis. The NOI was calculated by subtracting from rental
income ($1,153,177) and other income ($85,097): property taxes ($60,851) and
other property operating costs
8
<PAGE>
($411,452), and doubled the result to arrive at an annualized NOI ($1,531,942).
This NOI was then divided by a 12% capitalization rate (the "Cap Rate") and the
result reduced by (i) 3% ($382,985) to take into account the estimated closing
costs which would be incurred upon sale by the Partnership of the properties,
including brokerage commissions, title costs, surveys, appraisals, legal fees
and transfer taxes, and (ii) the $10,737,034 of mortgage debt encumbering the
property as of June 30, 1997. The resulting Estimated Net Sales Value of the
property was approximately $1,646,164.
The Purchaser believes that the Cap Rate utilized by it is within a
range of capitalization rates currently employed in the marketplace for an
apartment building and shopping center of the ages and quality of the
Partnership's Properties. The utilization of different capitalization rates,
however, could also be appropriate. In this regard, Unitholders should be aware
that the use of lower capitalization rate would result in a higher Estimated Net
Sales Value.
To determine the Estimated Liquidation Value of the Partnership's
assets, the Purchaser added to the Estimated Net Sales Value of the
Partnership's property the approximately $176,747 of net current assets, and
$27,103 of accounts receivable, and subtracted the $215,505 of accrued mortgage
interest, $69,202 of accrued property taxes and $183,117 of accounts payable and
accrued expenses, the $549,218 of subordinated real estate commissions and the
$24,001 of security deposits, all as reported in the Partnership's Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The resulting Estimated Liquidation Value of
the Partnership's assets was approximately $1,058,971 or $59.72 per Unit for the
Income Units only. The Purchasers do not attach any value to the Growth/Shelter
Units as the Purchasers do not believe the Partnership will achieve the minimum
returns to Income Units to which the Growth/Shelter Units are subordinated.
The Purchasers emphasize that this value was calculated by them solely
for purposes of calculating the Offer Price. There can be no assurance as to the
actual liquidation value of Partnership assets or as to the amount or timing of
distributions of liquidation proceeds which may be received by Unitholders.
Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is not required to
sell its sole remaining property until the earlier of the date Unitholders
holding a majority of all classes of Units vote to liquidate the Partnership or
December 31, 2027. Accordingly, the timing of the sale of Partnership's
remaining properties and resulting liquidation of the Partnership remains
uncertain, and, consequently, the timing of amounts to be received by
Unitholders in respect of such sale and liquidation (whether in excess of or
less than the Estimated Liquidation Value per Unit) cannot be determined.
As indicated above, the Offer Price represents the price at which the
Purchasers are willing to purchase Units. No independent person has been
retained to evaluate or render any opinion with respect to the fairness of the
Offer Price and no representation is made by the Purchasers or any affiliate of
the Purchasers as to such fairness. Other measures of the value of the Units may
be relevant to Unitholders. Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of
the information contained herein and consult with their own advisors, tax,
financial or otherwise, in evaluating the terms of the Offer before deciding
whether to tender Units.

General Background Information
Certain information contained in this Offer to Purchase which relates
to, or represents, statements made by the Partnership or the General Partner,
has been derived from information provided in reports filed by the Partnership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to publicly available information, there were 34,301 limited
partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1996, including 17,733 Income
Units held by approximately 861 Unitholders, and 16,568 Growth/Shelter Units
held by approximately 941 holders of record. The Purchasers and certain
affiliates of the Purchasers currently beneficially own an aggregate of 156
Income Units or approximately 0.88% of the outstanding Units (see "Certain
Information Concerning the Purchasers" below).
Tendering Unitholders will not be obligated to pay transfer fees,
brokerage fees or commissions on the sale of the Units to the Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer. The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses incurred
in connection with the Offer. The Purchasers desire to purchase all Units
tendered by each Unitholder.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration will be paid with respect to all Units that are purchased pursuant
to the Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.
Unitholders are urged to read this Offer to Purchase and the
accompanying Letter of Transmittal carefully before deciding whether to tender
their Units.
TENDER OFFER
Section 1. Terms of the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay for Units validly
tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with
Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00
midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on December 31, 1997, unless and until the
Purchasers shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open,
in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on
which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire.
The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See
Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for
any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions. If, by the Expiration Date,
any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any of
the Units tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered Units to
tendering Unitholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to
complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, purchase all
Units validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of
Unitholders to withdraw Units until the
10
<PAGE>
Expiration Date, retain the Units that have been tendered during the period or
periods for which the Offer is extended or (iv) to amend the Offer.
The Purchasers do not anticipate and has no reason to believe that any
condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from purchasing
tendered Units as offered herein.
Section 2. Proration; Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units. If the
number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn
is 15,270 or less, the Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of the Offer, will accept for payment all Units so tendered.
If the number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date
and not withdrawn exceeds 15,270 the Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Offer, will accept for payment Units so tendered on a pro
rata basis.
In the event that proration is required, because of the difficulty of
immediately determining the precise number of Units to be accepted, the
Purchasers will announce the final results of proration as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than five business days following the Expiration Date. The
Purchasers will not pay for any Units tendered until after the final proration
factor has been determined.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including,
if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any extension
or amendment), the Purchasers will accept for payment, and will pay for, Units
validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, as promptly as
practicable following the Expiration Date. In all cases, payment for Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the
Depositary of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or
facsimile thereof) and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have
accepted for payment (and thereby purchased) tendered Units when, as and if the
Purchasers give oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchasers'
acceptance for payment of such Units pursuant to the Offer. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Units purchased pursuant to
the Offer will in all cases be made by deposit of the Offer Price with the
Depositary, which will act as agent for the tendering Unitholders for the
purpose of receiving payment from the Purchasers and transmitting payment to
tendering Unitholders.
Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer Price by
reason of any delay in making such payment.
If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Letter of
Transmittal with respect to such Units not purchased will be of no force or
effect. If, for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for payment of, or payment
for, any Units tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchasers, retain tendered Units, subject
to any limitations of applicable law, and such Units may not be withdrawn except
to the extent
11
<PAGE>
that the tendering Unitholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described
in Section 4.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers shall increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.
Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.
Valid Tender. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (a copy of which is enclosed
and printed on light blue paper) with any other documents required by the Letter
of Transmittal must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on
the back cover of this Offer to Purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date. A
Unitholder may tender any or all Units owned by such Unitholder.
In order for a tendering Unitholder to participate in the Offer, Units
must be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, which
is 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on December 31, 1997, or such date to
which the Offer may be extended.
The method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and all other required
documents is at the option and risk of the tendering Unitholder and delivery
will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible application of
31% backup federal income tax withholding with respect to payment of the Offer
Price for Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, a tendering Unitholder must
provide the Depositary with such Unitholder's correct taxpayer identification
number and make certain certifications that such Unitholder is not subject to
backup federal income tax withholding. Each tendering Unitholder must insert in
the Letter of Transmittal the Unitholder's taxpayer identification number or
social security number in the space provided on the front of the Letter of
Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal also includes a substitute Form W-9,
which contains the certifications referred to above. (See the Instructions to
the Letter of Transmittal.)
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of Partnership
liabilities allocable to each Unit tendered, each Unitholder must complete the
FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Letter of Transmittal certifying such
Unitholder's taxpayer identification number and address and that the Unitholder
is not a foreign person. (See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
"Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")
Other Requirements. By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set forth above, a
tendering Unitholder irrevocably appoints the designees of the Purchasers as
such Unitholder's proxies, in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal,
each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such Unitholder's
rights with respect to the Units tendered by such Unitholder and accepted for
payment by the Purchasers. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to
the extent that, the Purchasers accept such Units for payment. Upon such
acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such
12
<PAGE>
Unitholder with respect to such Units will, without further action, be revoked,
and no subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). The
designees of the Purchasers will, with respect to such Units, be empowered to
exercise all voting and other rights of such Unitholder as they in their sole
discretion may deem proper at any meeting of Unitholders, by written consent or
otherwise. In addition, by executing a Letter of Transmittal, a Unitholder also
assigns to the Purchasers all of the Unitholder's rights to receive
distributions from the Partnership with respect to Units which are accepted for
payment and purchased pursuant to the Offer, other than those distributions
declared or paid during the period commencing on the Offer Date and terminating
on the Expiration Date.
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation
to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Units
pursuant to the procedures described above will be determined by the Purchasers,
in their sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The
Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders if not in
proper form or if the acceptance of, or payment for, the absolute right to
reject any or all tenders if not in proper form or if the acceptance of, or
payment for, the Units tendered may, in the opinion of the Purchasers' counsel,
be unlawful. The Purchasers also reserve the right to waive any defect or
irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Units of any
particular Unitholder, and the Purchasers' interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the
Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. Neither the Purchasers, the
Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any defects or irregularities in the tender of any Units or will incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.
A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above
will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Unitholder and the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including
the tendering Unitholder's representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the
Exchange Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit complies with Rule 14e-4. Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units, hold
option rights to acquire such securities, maintain "short" positions in the
Units (i.e., have borrowed the Units) or have loaned the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership interests, the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling activity exists
with respect to the Units. In any event, a Unit holder will be deemed to tender
Units in compliance with Rule 14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers the Units pursuant to the terms
of the Offer, (ii) causes such delivery to be made, (iii) guarantees such
delivery, (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other method
permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal Letter).
Section 4. Withdrawal Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4,
all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, provided that Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment as provided in this
Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after February 1, 1998 (or
such later date as may apply in the event the Offer is extended).
13
<PAGE>
For withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission
notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at the address or
the facsimile number set forth in the attached Letter of Transmittal. Any such
notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units
to be withdrawn and must be signed by the person(s) who signed the Letter of
Transmittal in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal was signed.
If purchase of, or payment for, Units is delayed for any reason or if
the Purchasers are unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, tendered Units may
be retained by the Depositary on behalf of the Purchasers and may not be
withdrawn except to the extent that tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under
the Exchange Act, which provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall
fail to pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or
on behalf of security holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of
the tender offer.
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt)
of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchasers, in their sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither the
Purchasers, the Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or
will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Any Units properly withdrawn will be deemed not to be validly tendered
for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however, by
following the procedures described in Section 3 at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.
Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment. The Purchasers
expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any time and from time
to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and
thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, any Units by
giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary, (ii) to
terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, by giving oral or written notice of such
termination to the Depositary, (iii) upon the occurrence or failure to occur of
any of the conditions specified in Section 13, to delay the acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any Units not heretofore accepted for payment or
paid for, by giving oral or written notice of such termination or delay to the
Depositary, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect (including, without
limitation, by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered or the number
of Units being sought in the Offer or both or changing the type of
consideration) by giving oral or written notice of such amendment to the
Depositary. Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly
as practicable by public announcement, the announcement in the case of an
extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the
next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance
with the public announcement requirement of Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange
Act. Without limiting the manner in which the Purchasers may choose to make any
public announcement, except as provided by applicable law (including Rule
14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act), the Purchasers will have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other
than by issuing a release to the Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also
be required by applicable law to disseminate to Unitholders certain information
concerning the extensions of the Offer and any material changes in the terms of
the Offer.
14
<PAGE>
If the Purchasers extend the Offer, or if the Purchasers (whether
before or after its acceptance for payment of Units) are delayed in their
payment for Units or are unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any
reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, the
Depositary may retain tendered Units on behalf of the Purchasers, and such Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4. However, the ability of the
Purchasers to delay payment for Units that the Purchasers have accepted for
payment is limited by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the
Purchasers pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by
or on behalf of holders of securities promptly after the termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.
If the Purchasers make a material change in the terms of the Offer or
the information concerning the Offer or waive a material condition of the Offer,
the Purchasers will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 14d-4(c),
14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which an
offer must remain open following a material change in the terms of the offer or
information concerning the offer, other than a change in price or a change in
percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts and circumstances,
including the relative materiality of the change in the terms or information.
With respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought
(other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities sought), however,
a minimum ten business day period is generally required to allow for adequate
dissemination to security holders and for investor response. As used in this
Offer to Purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, Pacific Standard Time.
Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences. THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX
DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF
TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR UNITHOLDER. For
example, this discussion does not address the effect of any applicable foreign,
state, local or other tax laws other than federal income tax laws. Certain
Unitholders (including trusts, foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations or
corporations subject to special rules, such as life insurance companies or S
corporations) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This
discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), existing regulations, court decisions and Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") rulings and other pronouncements. EACH UNITHOLDER TENDERING UNITS SHOULD
CONSULT SUCH UNITHOLDER'S OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO SUCH UNITHOLDER OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL, FOREIGN, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
The following discussion is based on the assumption that the
Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is
not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.
Gain or Loss. A taxable Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss on the
sale of such Unitholder's Units in an amount equal to the difference between (i)
the amount realized by such Unitholder on the sale and
15
<PAGE>
(ii) such Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. The amount realized
by a Unitholder will include the Unitholder's share of the Partnership's
liabilities, if any (as determined under Code section 752 and the regulations
thereunder). If the Unitholder reports a loss on the sale, such loss generally
could not be currently deducted by such Unitholder except against such
Unitholder's capital gains from other investments. In addition, such loss would
be treated as a passive activity loss. (See "Suspended Passive Activity Losses"
below.)
The adjusted tax basis in the Units of a Unitholder will depend upon
individual circumstances. (See also "Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale"
below.) Each Unitholder who plans to tender hereunder should consult with the
Unitholder's own tax advisor as to the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the
Unitholder's Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.
If any portion of the amount realized by a Unitholder is attributable
to such Unitholder's share of "unrealized receivables" or "substantially
appreciated inventory items" as defined in Code section 751, a corresponding
portion of such Unitholder's gain or loss will be treated as ordinary gain or
loss. It is possible that the basis allocation rules of Code Section 751 may
result in a Unitholder's recognizing ordinary income with respect to the portion
of the Unitholder's amount realized on the sale of a Unit that is attributable
to such items while recognizing a capital loss with respect to the remainder of
the Unit.
A tax-exempt Unitholder (other than an organization described in Code
Section 501(c)(7) (social club), 501(c)(9) (voluntary employee benefit
association), 501(c)(17) (supplementary unemployment benefit trust), or
501(c)(20) (qualified group legal services plan)) should not be required to
recognize unrelated trade or business income upon the sale of its Units pursuant
to the Offer, assuming that such Unitholder does not hold its Units as a
"dealer" and has not acquired such Units with debt financed proceeds.
Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale. A tendering Unitholder will be
allocated the Unitholder's pro rata share of the annual taxable income and
losses from the Partnership with respect to the Units sold for the period
through the date of sale, even though such Unitholder will assign to the
Purchasers their rights to receive certain cash distributions with respect to
such Units. Such allocations and any Partnership distributions for such period
would affect a Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the tendered Units and,
therefore, the amount of gain or loss recognized by the Unitholder on the sale
of the Units.
Possible Tax Termination. The Code provides that if 50% or more of the capital
and profits interests in a partnership are sold or exchanged within a single
12-month period, such partnership generally will terminate for federal income
tax purposes. It is possible that the Partnership could terminate for federal
income tax purposes as a result of consummation of the Offer. The primary
potential effect on the Partnership of such a termination under current tax law
would be to require the Partnership to refile certain Partnership tax elections.
The Purchasers are not aware of any factors that would cause a tax termination
to have a material adverse impact on the Partnership. A tax termination of the
Partnership also could have the adverse effect on Unitholders whose tax year is
not the calendar year, of the inclusion of more than one year of Partnership tax
items in one tax return of such Unitholders, resulting in a "bunching" of
income.
16
<PAGE>
Suspended "Passive Activity Losses". A Unitholder who sells all of the
Unitholder's Units would be able to deduct "suspended" passive activity losses
from the Partnership, if any, in the year of sale free of the passive activity
loss limitation. As a limited partner of the Partnership, which was engaged in
real estate activities, the ability of a Unitholder, who or which is subject to
the passive activity loss rules, to claim tax losses from the Partnership was
limited. Upon sale of all of the Unitholder's Units, such Unitholder would be
able to use any "suspended" passive activity losses first against gain, if any,
on sale of the Unitholder's Units and then against income from any other source.
Foreign Unitholders. Gain realized by a foreign Unitholder on a sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax. Under Section 1445
of the Code, the transferee of a partnership interest held by a foreign person
is generally required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount
realized on the disposition. The Purchasers will withhold 10% of the amount
realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to be made to
such Unitholder unless the Unitholder properly completes and signs the FIRPTA
Affidavit included as part of the Letter of Transmittal certifying the
Unitholder's TIN, that such Unitholder is not a foreign person and the
Unitholder's address. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign
Unitholder's federal income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund
could be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax
return.
Section 7. Effects of the Offer.
Limitations on Resales. The Partnership Agreement does not restrict transfers of
Units, provided a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of
assignment covering no less than five Units shall have been filed with the
Partnership, which instrument shall specify the number of Units being assigned.
Accordingly, the Purchasers do not believe the provisions of the Partnership
Agreement should restrict transfers of Units. The acquisition by the Purchasers
of a significant block of Units could cause the Partnership to invoke certain
safe harbor limitations on further resales of Units, however, thus temporarily
limiting such resales by non-tendering Unitholders.
Effect on Trading Market. There is no established public trading market for the
Units and, therefore, a reduction in the number of Unitholders should not
materially further restrict the Unitholders' ability to find purchasers for
their Units on any secondary market. The Units are registered under the Exchange
Act, which requires, among other things that the Partnership furnish certain
information to its Unitholders and to the Commission and comply with the
Commission's proxy rules in connection with meetings of, and solicitation of
consents from, Unitholders. The Purchasers do not believe that the purchase of
Units pursuant to the Offer will result in the Units becoming eligible for
deregistration under the Exchange Act.
Voting Power of Purchasers. Depending on the number of Units acquired by the
Purchasers pursuant to the Offer, the Purchasers may have the ability to exert
certain influence on matters subject to the vote of Unitholders, including, but
not limited to: (i) approval or disapproval of the sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, (ii) the removal or
replacement of the general partner of the Partnership (and, thereby, potentially
influencing the selection of the manager of the Partnership's property), (iii)
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, and/or (iv) amendment of the
Partnership's Partnership Agreement. The Purchasers will vote the Units acquired
in the Offer
17
<PAGE>
in their own interest, which may be different from or in conflict with the
interests of the remaining Unitholders.
Unitholders should note that the Purchasers are seeking to acquire
Units solely for investment purposes and currently intend to hold them until the
General Partner causes the Partnership to commence liquidation. The Purchasers
believe that the General Partner is likely to seek a sale of the Partnership's
properties and liquidation of the Partnership, based on its ongoing review of
the relevant market and the Partnership's investment objectives, sometime prior
to the final termination date of December 31, 2027 set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. In this regard, it should be noted that the purchase price is less
than the Purchasers' "Estimate Liquidation Value" as described above under
"Introduction - Establishment of the Offer Price".
The Purchasers do not have any present intention to seek control of the
Partnership, to change Partnership management, to seek a sale of the property or
liquidation of the Partnership or to otherwise alter the Partnership Agreement
or affect Partnership operations. The Purchasers would, however, expect to
exercise their rights as Unitholders to take such actions as are within their
powers and as they may deem necessary or advisable from time to time during the
remaining term of the Partnership.
Section 8. Future Plans. Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchasers,
or their affiliates, may acquire additional Units. Any such acquisitions may be

purchased pursuant to the Offer.

Exchange Commission. Such reports and filings are available for inspection at

The Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or pay for any Units

before the Expiration Date, any of the following conditions exists:
(a) a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order of any federal or state
court, government or governmental authority or agency shall have been issued and
shall remain in effect which (i) makes illegal, delays or otherwise directly or
indirectly restrains or prohibits the making of the Offer or the acceptance for

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which might,

21
<PAGE>
(c) any change or development shall have occurred or been threatened since the

United States, (iii) any limitation by any governmental authority on, or other

calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, (v) a material

limitation on the markets thereof, or (vi) in the case of any of the foregoing
existing at the time of the commencement of the Offer, a material acceleration

(e) it shall have been publicly disclosed or the Purchasers shall have otherwise
learned that (i) more than fifty percent of the outstanding Units have been or
are proposed to be acquired by another person (including a "group" within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or (ii) any person or group
that prior to such date had filed a Statement with the Commission pursuant to
Sections 13(d) or (g) of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes to increase
the number of Units beneficially owned by such person or group as disclosed in
such Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers and may be
asserted by the Purchasers regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such
conditions or may be waived by the Purchasers in whole or in part at any time
and from time to time in their sole discretion. Any termination by the
Purchasers concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon
all parties.
Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.
General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are not aware of
any filings, approvals or other actions by any domestic or foreign governmental
or administrative agency that would be required prior to the acquisition of
Units by the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer. Should any such approval or other
action be required, it is the Purchasers' present intention that such additional
approval or action would be sought. While there is no present intent to delay
the purchase of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer pending receipt of any such
additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance
that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to
the Partnership's business, or that certain parts of the Partnership's business
might not have to be disposed of or held separate or other substantial
conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of
which could cause the Purchasers to elect to terminate the Offer without
purchasing Units thereunder. The Purchasers' obligation to purchase and pay for
Units is subject to certain conditions,
22
<PAGE>
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 14.
Antitrust. The Purchasers do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units pursuant to the Offer.
Margin Requirements. The Units are not "margin securities" under the regulations
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, accordingly, such
regulations are not applicable to the Offer.
State Takeover Laws. A number of states have adopted anti-takeover laws which
purport, to varying degrees, to be applicable to attempts to acquire securities
of corporations which are incorporated in such states or which have substantial
assets, security holders, principal executive offices or principal places of
business therein. These laws are directed at the acquisition of corporations and
not partnerships. The Purchasers, therefore, do not believe that any
anti-takeover laws apply to the transactions contemplated by the Offer.
Although the Purchasers have not attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge the validity or applicability of any state law allegedly
applicable to the Offer and nothing in this Offer nor any action taken in
connection herewith is intended as a waiver of such right. If any state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or purchase Units tendered pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer. In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.
Section 15. Fees and Expenses. The Purchasers have retained MacKenzie Patterson,
Inc., an affiliate of certain Purchasers, to act as Depositary in connection
with the Offer. The Purchasers will pay the Depositary reasonable and customary
compensation for its services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement
for out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify the Depositary against certain
liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under
the federal securities laws. The Purchasers will also pay all costs and expenses
of printing, publication and mailing of the Offer and all costs of transfer.
Section 16. Miscellaneous. THE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO (NOR WILL TENDERS BE
ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) UNITHOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE
MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION. THE PURCHASERS ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY JURISDICTION
WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE
THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchasers not contained herein or in the Letter
of Transmittal and, if given or made, such information or representation must
not be relied upon as having been authorized.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Tender, Signature Requirements; Delivery. After carefully reading and
completing this Letter of Transmittal, in order to tender Units a Unitholder
must sign at the "X" on the bottom of the first page of this Letter of
Transmittal and insert the Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number
or Social Security Number ("TIN") in the space provided below the signature. The
signature must correspond exactly with the name printed (or corrected) on the
front of this Letter of Transmittal without any change whatsoever. If this
Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Unitholder of the units a
Medallion signature guarantee on this Letter of Transmittal is required.
Similarly, if Units are tendered for the account of a member firm of a
registered national security exchange, a member firm of the National Association
of Securities Dealer, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union,
savings and loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency
in the United states (each an "Eligible Institution"), a Medallion signature
guarantee is required. In all other cases, signatures on this Letter of
Transmittal must be Medallion guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, by
completing the Signature guarantee set forth in BOX A of this Letter of
Transmittal. If any tendered Units are registered in the names of two or more
joint holders, all such holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If this
Letter of Transmittal is signed by trustees, administrators, guardians,
attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or

submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchasers of their authority to so
act. For Units to be validly tendered, a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees in BOX A,
and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received
by the depositary prior to or on the Expiration Date at its address or facsimile
number set forth on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. No alternative,

taxes, if any, payable in respect of Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer.
3. U.S. Persons. A Unitholder who or which is a United States citizen or
resident alien individual, a domestic corporation,a domestic partnership, a
domestic trust or a domestic estate (collectively "United States persons") as
those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations,
should complete the following:
Box B - Substitute Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal income tax
backup withholding, the Unitholder must provide to the Purchasers the
Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security
Number ("TIN") in the space provided below the signature line and
certify, under penalties of perjury, that such Unitholder is not
subject to such backup withholding. The TIN that must be provided is
that of the registered Unitholder indicated on the front of this Letter
of Transmittal. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be
imposed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), in addition to the
Unitholder being subject to backup withholding. Certain Unitholders
(including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup
withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If
withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained from the IRS.
Box C - FIRPTA Affidavit. To avoid potential withholding of tax
pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Unitholder
who or which is a United States Person (as defined Instruction 3 above)
must certify, under penalties of perjury, the Unitholder's TIN and
address, and that the Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld
under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code is not an additional

obtained from the IRS.
<PAGE>
4. Box D - Foreign Persons. In order for a Unitholder who is a foreign
person (i.e., not a United States Person as defined in 3 above) to qualify as
exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must certify, under
penalties of perjury, the statement in BOX D of this Letter of Transmittal

Dear Fellow Limited Partner:
December 2, 1997
TO: University Real Estate Partnership V
SUBJECT: OFFER TO PURCHASE UNITS FOR $45.00 PER UNIT
Dear Fellow Limited Partner:
Enclosed with this letter is an offer to pay you $45.00 per Unit for any
and all Units you own in University Real Estate Partnership V up to an aggregate
maximum of 15,270. Partners whose units are purchased pursuant to this offer
(assuming no pro ration of units which would occur in the unlikely event of
tenders in excess of the offer) will terminate their investment in the
Partnership in 1997 and will receive their last K-1 for the Partnership for
1997.
A formal Offer to Purchase is enclosed, which provides more details. Our
offer will expire on December 31, 1997; accordingly, we encourage you to review
our offer and act promptly. [Footnote 1] Potential Risks for Tendering
Unitholders - Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the opportunity to
participate in any future benefits from the ownership of Units, including
potential future distributions by the Partnership. The purchase price per Unit
payable to a tendering Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the total
amount which might otherwise be received by the Unitholder with respect to the
Unit over the remaining term of the Partnership and the purchase price is less
than the Purchasers' "Estimated Liquidation Value" for the Partnership's assets
($59.72 per Unit).

<PAGE>
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes and with the
intention of making a profit from the ownership of the Units. In establishing
the purchase price of $45.00 per Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish
the lowest price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with the
Purchasers' objectives.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units tendered
by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than 15,270 Units are tendered.
- Sale of Units could have either favorable or adverse tax consequences to
the selling Unitholder, depending on the Unitholders' individual tax position.
All Unitholders are urged to consult their own advisors concerning any potential
benefits or other consequences resulting from acceptance of the offer.
Potential Risks for Non-Tendering Unitholders - As a result of consummation
of the Offer, the Purchaser may be in a position to significantly influence all
Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote, including, but not limited
to: (i) approval or disapproval of the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets, (ii) the removal or replacement
of the general partner of the Partnership (thereby potentially influencing the
selection of the manager of the Partnership's property), (iii) dissolution and
termination of the Partnership, and/or (iv) amendment of the Partnership's
Partnership Agreement. The Purchaser will vote the Units acquired in the Offer
in its own interest, which may be different from or in conflict with the
interests of the remaining Unitholders.
- The purchase by the Purchasers of a significant block of Units pursuant
to the Offer could adversely affect the ability of other Unitholders to resell
their Units. [End Footnote 1]
<PAGE>
For virtually all unit holders, the Letter of Transmittal is very easily
completed. All that is required is completion of the Signature Box and obtaining
of the Medallion Signature Guarantee. The remaining boxes should be reviewed,
but are, in general, not applicable. If you are having difficulty obtaining a
signature guarantee, please call us at (800) 854-8357 x208.
The Purchasers and their affiliates manage investor capital committed to the
purchase of limited partnership units of existing partnerships, particularly of
those which have not liquidated within the time frame originally intended at the
time of the original offering. The Purchasers and their affiliates offer an
alternative for investors who have held their investment in the limited
partnership for much longer than they wished. To date, the General Partner has
not indicated any timetable by which liquidation might occur.
The offer is for $45.00 per unit. In order to figure out how much you will
receive all you need to do is multiply the number of units you own times $45. If
you are unsure of the number of units that you own, you can figure it out based
on the amount of your original investment. Simply divide the total amount you
invested in these units by $500 (the original unit price) and the result will be
the number of units you own. Or, if you know that you want to accept the offer,
you can simply write "All" in the space that asks for the number of units that
you are tendering. This will indicate your intention to sell all units that you
own. We will make payment within 5 business days of the close of our offer.
Please call us at (800) 854-8357 ext. 208 if you have any other questions.
Respectfully submitted,
C. E. Patterson
President of MacKenzie Patterson, Inc.,
on behalf of the Purchasers

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM LIMITED PARTNERS:
Q: How much cash will I receive if I choose to accept the offer
and when will I receive my money?
A: You will receive $45 per unit less any distributions made by the Partnership
between December 2, 1997 and December 31, 1997. We will make payment within 5
business days of the close of our offer. Any tax benefits will be reflected in a
reduction of your 1997 tax bill.
Q: Are there any other benefits to accepting the offer?
A: In addition to the monetary benefits of the cash and potential tax savings,
limited partners who sell their units will terminate their investment and will
not have to deal with filing tax information regarding the partnership for years
after 1997. This could result in significant savings in tax preparation
expenses.
Q: What happens if I choose not to accept the offer?
A: Limited Partners who decline our offer will maintain their interest in the
partnership. This means that they will remain subject to the risk associated
with waiting for the Partnership to make its final payout if and when that
occurs and the timing and amount of such distributions.
Q: Who are the Purchasers and what are they going to do with the
units?
A: The purchasers are investment partnerships and other investors managed
by or related to MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. and its affiliates. The purchasers
and MPI are in no way associated with the partnership. The purchasers expect
that the General Partner will likely seek the sale of the partnership's property
and liquidation of the partnership sometime before the final termination date of
December 31, 2027, based on its on its ongoing review of the real estate market
and the partnership's investment objectives. The purchasers are acquiring the
units solely for long-term investment purposes with the intent of holding these
units until the final liquidation payment is made.
Q: What is Medallion Signature Guarantee and what do I do with
the Letter of Transmittal?
A: A Medallion Guarantee is similar to a Notarization. It
provides the buyer and transfer agent protection against forged or
improperly executed transfer documents.
<PAGE>
Obtaining the Medallion Guarantee is necessary for all sellers. It is a standard
signature guarantee procedure and is available through most banks or securities
brokerages.
If you are having difficulty obtaining a signature guarantee, please fill out
the bottom half of this page and attach a copy of your driver's license or other
proof of your signature.
I (we) hereby authorize North Coast Securities to guarantee my (our) signatures.
I have attached a copy of my (our) Driver's License or other proof of my (our)
signature(s).

accepted from or on behalf of, Unitholders residing in any jurisdiction in which
making or accepting the Offer would violate that jurisdiction's laws. In those
jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Offer to

have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open (such date and

If Purchasers make a material change in the terms of the Offer, or if they
waive a material condition to the Offer, Purchasers will extend the Offer and
disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by Rules
14d-4(c) and 14d-6(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). The minimum period during which an offer must remain open
following any material change in the terms of the Offer, other than a change in

soliciting fee, will depend upon the facts and circumstances including the
materiality of the change with respect to a change in price or, subject to
certain limitations, a change in the percentage of securities ought or a change

such change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to

decrease the number of Units being sought, or increase or decrease the
consideration offered pursuant to the Offer, and if the Offer is scheduled to

made only after timely receipt of the Letters of Transmittal (or facsimiles
thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature
guarantees, and any other documents required by such Letters of Transmittal.
Tenders of Units made pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, except that
Unitholders who tender their Units in response to the Offer will have the right
to withdraw their tendered Units at any time prior to the Expiration Date by
sending a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal to Purchasers
specifying the name of the person who tendered the Units to be withdrawn. In
addition, tendered Units may be withdrawn at any time after February 1, 1998,
unless the tender has theretofore been accepted for payment as provided above.
If tendering Unitholders tender more than the number of Units that
Purchasers seek to purchase pursuant to the Offer, Purchasers will take into
account the number of Units so tendered and take up and pay for as nearly as may
be pro rata, disregarding fractions, according to the number of Units tendered
by each tendering Unitholder during the period during which the Offer remains
open.
The terms of the Offer are more fully set forth in the formal Tender Offer
Documents which are available from Purchasers. The Offer contains terms and
conditions and the information required by Rule 14d-6(e)(1)(vii) under the
Exchange Act which are incorporated herein by reference.
