                                     PART I


ITEM 1:  BUSINESS
- - -----------------

     The  Registrant,  Realmark  Property  Investors  Limited  Partnership  (the
"Partnership"),  is a Delaware Limited Partnership organized in 1979 pursuant to
an  Agreement  and  Certificate  of  Limited   Partnership   (the   "Partnership
Agreement"),   under  the  Delaware   Uniform  Limited   Partnership   Act.  The
Partnership's  Corporate  General  Partner is  Realmark  Properties,  Inc.  (the
"Corporate  General  Partner"),  a  Delaware  corporation,  and it's  Individual
General Partner is Joseph M. Jayson (the "Individual General Partner").

     The  Registrant  commenced the public  offering of its limited  partnership
units,  registered  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  under  the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  on March 26,  1981,  and  concluded  the
offering on December 31,  1981,  having  raised a total of $3.1  million  before
sales commissions and expenses of the offering.

     The  Partnership's  investment  objectives  are to (1)  provide a return of
capital plus capital gains from the sale of appreciated properties;  (2) provide
partners with cash  distributions  until  properties  are sold; (3) preserve and
protect  partners  capital;  and (4)  achieve a build-up  of equity  through the
reduction of mortgage loans.

     The Partnership's  one remaining  apartment  complex,  acquired in 1981, is
located in Englewood,  Ohio. The surrounding community continues to be marked by
relatively stable occupancy rates and minimal  construction.  Physical occupancy
at Carriage House of Englewood  (formerly Gold Key Village  Apartments) for 1996
was  83%,  for  1995  was 92% and for  1994  occupancy  was at 95%.  As the only
property in the Partnership, Carriage House of Englewood accounts for all of the
revenue generated by the Partnership.

     The business of the  Partnership is not seasonal.  As of December 31, 1996,
the Partnership did not directly employ any persons in a full-time position. All
persons who regularly  rendered  services on behalf of the  Partnership  through
December  31,  1996 were  employees  of the  Corporate  General  Partner  or its
affiliates.

     Carriage House of Englewood is currently  managed by Realmark  Corporation,
an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner.


ITEM 2:  PROPERTIES
- - -------------------

     As of December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  continued  to own and operate
Carriage  House  of  Englewood  (formerly  the  Gold  Key  Village  Apartments).
Purchased in November 1981,  Carriage House of Englewood,  located in Englewood,
Ohio, is a 144 unit rental complex  consisting of 24 buildings and  recreational
facilities  on 9.6 acres of land.  Realmark  Corporation,  an  affiliate  of the
General Partners, has managed the complex since March 1, 1984.

     On May 5, 1992, the Partnership refinanced its two mortgages with a 9% U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD)  guaranteed  mortgage in the
amount of  $2,997,800  due June 1, 2027.  The  outstanding  mortgage  balance at
December 31, 1996 was $2,930,266.



                                       2
<PAGE>


     On the same date, the  Partnership  entered into a joint venture  agreement
with Realmark Property  Investors Limited  Partnership VI A (RPILP VI A) for the
purpose of operating  Carriage House of Englewood.  Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement,  the Partnership contributed the property net of the mortgage
and RPILP VI A  contributed  $497,911.  The  agreement  provided for the income,
loss,  cash flow,  and sale or  refinancing  proceeds to be allocated 68% to the
Partnership  and 32% to RPILP VI A. On March 1, 1993,  RPILP VI A contributed an
additional  $125,239,   changing  the  allocation  percentages  to  60%  to  the
Partnership and 40% to RPILP VI A.


ITEM 3:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- - --------------------------

     The Partnership is not a party to, nor is any of the Partnership's property
the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings.


ITEM 4:  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
- - -------------------------------------------------------------

     None.


                                     PART II


ITEM 5:  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.

     There is currently no  established  trading market for the units of Limited
Partnership  Interest of the Partnership and it is not anticipated that any will
develop in the future.

     The  Partnership did not make any  distributions  during 1996, 1995 or 1994
and management does not anticipate making any distributions until Carriage House
of Englewood is sold and all Partnership obligations are satisfied. Unless there
is  significant  improvement  in the overall  property  performance,  it remains
unlikely that the investors will receive any of the proceeds from sale.

     As of December 31, 1996,  there were 421 record holders of units of Limited
Partnership Interest.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITIONS  AND
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- - --------------------------------

     The Partnership continues to incur cash flow deficits and large losses from
operations as it has in prior years.  During 1996, the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates continued to advance funds to the Partnership whenever it was
necessary to cover its shortfalls. The General Partner is under no obligation to
advance funds to the  Partnership,  and there is no assurance that such advances
will continue.  As of December 31, 1996, the Corporate  General Partner advances
totaled $784,461, all of which is payable on demand and accruing interest at 11%
per annum.  Due to the operating  shortfalls,  the  Partnership did not make any
distributions  in the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Until such time as
the  Partnership  can satisfy its  obligations  and repay the Corporate  General
Partner advances, no distributions are anticipated.

     The  Partnership's  one  remaining  property,  Carriage  House of Englewood
(formerly  Gold Key  Apartments)  came under contract for sale during July 1996.
The sale is subject to a number of  contingencies  and is cancelable at any time
by the buyer.  Until such time as all of the buyers due  diligence is performed,
no closing date can be established.  The Partnership has received as of December
31, 1996 non-refundable deposits on the sale of this property totaling $220,000,
which  includes a note for $47,200.  The  Corporate  General  Partner  feels the
pending sale is in the best interest of the Limited  Partners,  although at this
date,  it appears  highly  unlikely  that the Limited  Partners will receive any
proceeds from the sale due to the amount of the Partnership's liabilities.

     During 1996,  management  was  successful  in securing the release of funds
from the property's replacement escrow reserve from the United States Department
of Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD) and the mortgagor on the property.  The
additional   cash  was  used  to  fund  operations  and  to  do  needed  capital
improvements to the property,  such as roofing repairs and interior and exterior
painting.  Although HUD and the mortgagor have assisted the Partnership  through
the  release of the  escrowed  funds,  unless  the  property  shows  significant
improvement in occupancy and collections, as well as a decrease in expenses, the
property  could be in a position to default on its  mortgage,  thus  throwing it
into a  foreclosure.  With  this in  mind,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  is
aggressively  attempting  to close on the pending sale, as well as continuing to
market the property to other buyers.

     Management has once again  implemented  corrective action plans in response
to the  going  concern  consideration  discussed  in  Note  9 to  the  financial
statements,  as well as to deal with the HUD noncompliance detailed in the notes
to the financial statements. These plans include tighter cash management through
the closer monitoring of expenses such as payroll,  advertising and maintenance,
which have  typically  been the expenses that have  increased from year to year.
Additionally,  tighter  credit  policies  have been put into place as a means of
avoiding the  collection  problems which the property  incurred  during the past
several years. The HUD noncompliance  detailed in the notes technically puts the
Partnership  in default of the mortgage  which could result in fines or interest
charges  being  levied,  or the take over of the  property  by HUD. A  concerted
effort at correcting the noncompliance  will hopefully lead to the ultimate cure
of such default.

Results of Operations:
- - ----------------------

     For the year ended December 31, 1996, the  Partnership  incurred a net loss
of $263,347 or $84.10 per limited  partnership  unit.  This is a slight increase
from the year ended  December  31, 1995 which  resulted in a loss of $227,396 or
$72.62 per limited  partnership unit, and a considerable  increase over the loss
incurred in the year ended  December  31, 1994 which was  $178,828 or $57.11 per
limited  partnership  unit.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITIONS  AND
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
- - ------------------------------

Results of Operations (Con't.):
- - -------------------------------

     Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $685,142;
this  consisted of rental  income of $640,124 and other income,  which  includes
interest,  laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of $45,018.
Although  other income  remained  fairly  constant as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995 and  increased  approximately  18% in  comparison  to the year
ended December 31, 1994,  there was a drastic  decrease in rental revenues which
totaled  $717,713 in 1995 and $705,970 in 1994. The decrease in rental income is
related  to the drop in  occupancy  at  Carriage  House of  Englewood  which was
considerable  during 1996. Physical occupancy averaged 83% during the year ended
December 31,  1996,  although it saw lows of 70% at points  during the year,  as
compared to occupancy  averages of 92% and 95% for the years ended  December 31,
1995 and  1994,  respectively.  At the end of 1996,  the  property  began to see
improved  occupancy;  management  continues to focus  additional  and  continual
effort on increasing occupancy, as well as decreasing delinquencies.

     Partnership   expenses  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996  totaled
$1,068,126,  a decrease of slightly over $16,000 from those of 1995, but not yet
returned to the level of 1994 which were $993,203. Decreases in payroll, repairs
and maintenance and contracted services  throughout the partnership  continue to
result  in  decreases  in  operating  expenses,   while   substantially   higher
advertising, legal fees and portfolio management and accounting charges resulted
in higher administrative  expenses. The increase in administrative  expenses was
primarily due to  activities,  such as more  aggressive  advertising  campaigns,
undertaken to increase occupancies. Interest expense remained almost exactly the
same as the previous year, and increased slightly as compared to 1994 due to the
higher carrying value of the loan from affiliates between the two years.

     The Partnership  expects to incur higher than "normal" property  operations
expenses in the near future due to the costs associated with preparing units for
new tenants (i.e. cleaning, painting, appliance and carpeting costs), as well as
due to costs to be incurred to  physically  improve the exterior of the complex.
Although  this work is  necessary  in order to lease up the  apartment  complex,
management is trying to control  expenditures  so as not to worsen the cash flow
situation of the  Partnership.  For example,  management has been able to obtain
large price discounts on paint,  carpeting and appliances  through  negotiations
with large national companies,  such as Whirlpool. It is hoped that by improving
the property's  appearance and through continual maintenance of the interior and
exterior of the buildings  that new tenants will be attracted,  thus  increasing
revenues. Tenant retention also is seen as a means of controlling both operating
and administrative expenses.

     For the year ended  December 31,  1996,  the tax basis loss was $183,920 or
$58.74 per limited partnership unit compared to a tax loss of $194,584 or $62.14
per unit for the year ended  December  31,  1995 and a tax loss of  $196,138  or
$62.64 per limited  partnership  unit for the year ended  December 31, 1994. The
Partnership  agreement provides for the taxable income or losses to be allocated
99% to the Limited  Partners  and 1% to the General  Partners.  Through the year
ended  December  31,  1986 and for the years ended  December  31, 1991 and 1996,
taxable income or losses were allocated in accordance with this  provision.  For
the years 1987 through 1990, and 1992 through 1995, the Partnership was required
to reallocate taxable losses in accordance with the provisions of Section 704(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code. In general,  Section 704(b) may be applicable when
Partnership capital is negative and Limited Partners are not required to restore
negative capital accounts. In such circumstances, the IRS code requires that the
General  Partner(s)  bear a greater portion of the economic loss than that which
would be allocated  pursuant to the Partnership  agreement and,  therefore,  the
loss must be reallocated.

     The  Corporate  General  Partner is  entitled to a  continuing  Partnership
Management Fee equal to 9% of adjusted cash flow (as defined in the  Partnership
Agreement). This fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of a
non-cumulative  annual cash return equal to 7% on the average of their  adjusted
capital  contributions  (as  defined in the  Partnership  Agreement).  Since the
limited  partners  have  not  received  a 7%  return  on their  average  capital
balances,  this fee has not been paid to the  General  Partner or accrued by the
Partnership.  The General Partners are entitled to 1% of Distributable  Cash (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement) and to certain expense reimbursements with
respect to Partnership operations.

     Additionally,  the Partnership's  share of net proceeds arising from a sale
or  refinancing  shall be distributed  first to the Limited  Partners in amounts
equivalent to a 7% return on their average  adjusted capital  balances,  plus an
amount  equal to their  capital  contributions,  then to all partners in amounts
equal to their respective  positive capital account balances.  The partnership's
share of additional  proceeds,  after property  disposition  fees, shall then be
allocated to the Limited Partners in an amount equivalent to 5% of their average
adjusted capital balances and the remainder,  if any, in the ratio of 90% to the
Limited Partners and 10% to the General  Partners.  The  Partnership's  share of
income  arising  from the sale or  refinancing  shall be  allocated  in the same
manner as the proceeds are to be distributed,  except that the General  Partners
are to be allocated at least 1% of the income.

     The  Corporate   General  Partner  is  also  allowed  to  collect  property
disposition fees upon the sale of acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed
the  lesser  of 9% of the  gross  proceeds  of the  offering  applicable  to the
property or 50% of normal rates, subordinated to: (i) the payment to the Limited
Partners of a cumulative  annual  return (not  compounded)  equal to 7% on their
average adjusted capital balances; (ii) the repayment to the Limited Partners of
a cumulative amount equal to their capital contributions;  and (iii) the payment
to all partners of an amount equal to their respective  positive capital account
balances to the extent such  balances  exceed the  amounts  provided  for in the
preceding clauses (i) and (ii).  Inasmuch as these conditions have not been met,
no amounts have been  recorded with regard to the sale of Clarewood and Gallery.
See also Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements.


ITEM 12:  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     No person is known to the Partnership to own of record or beneficially more
than five  percent  (5%) of the units of  Limited  Partnership  Interest  of the
Partnership. Excluding the General Partner's Interest in the Partnership ($1,000
initial capital  contribution),  the General Partners,  as of December 31, 1996,
owned no units of Limited Partnership interest.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Partners
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Realmark Property  Investors
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of operations,  partners' deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period  ended  December  31, 1996.  Our audits also  included the  financial
statement  schedule listed in the index at Item 14. These  financial  statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the General Partners.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial  statements and the
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,   the  financial  position  of  Realmark  Property  Investors  Limited
Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Also, in our
opinion,  such financial statement schedule,  when considered in relation to the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole,  presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

The accompanying financial statements and financial statement schedule have been
prepared  assuming that the  Partnership  will continue as a going  concern.  As
discussed in Note 9 to the financial  statements,  the Partnership's  failure to
meet its  Department  of  Housing  and Urban  Development  regulatory  agreement
requirements,  its recurring  losses from  operations and its partners'  deficit
raise  substantial  doubt  about its  ability to  continue  as a going  concern.
Management's  plans  concerning  these matters are also described in Note 9. The
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS
                     ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994


1.   FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP:
     ---------------------------------------

     Realmark Property  Investors  Limited  Partnership (the  "Partnership"),  a
Delaware  Limited  Partnership,  was formed on August 28,  1979,  to invest in a
diversified portfolio of income producing real estate.

     In March 1981, the  Partnership  commenced the Public  Offering of Units of
Limited Partnership  Interest.  On December 31, 1981 the offering was concluded,
at which time 3,100 units of Limited Partnership Interest were outstanding.  The
General  Partners are Realmark  Properties,  Inc., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc. (JMJ) and Mr. Joseph M. Jayson, the sole shareholder
of JMJ. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners and affiliates can
receive  compensation  for services  rendered,  and  reimbursement  for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Partnership (See Note 4).

     The Partnership  agreement provides for the Partnership's  share of taxable
income or losses of the Partnership to be allocated 99% to the Limited  Partners
and 1% to the General Partners. Through December 31, 1986 and for 1991 and 1996,
taxable income or losses were allocated in accordance with this  provision.  For
the years 1987 through 1990, and 1992 through 1995, the Partnership was required
to reallocate  losses in accordance with Internal  Revenue  Section  704(b).  In
general,  section 704(b) may be applicable when Partnership  capital is negative
and Limited Partners are not required to restore negative capital  accounts.  In
such  instances the IRS code  requires that the General  Partner bears a greater
portion of the economic loss than that which would be allocated  pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement and, therefore, the loss must be reallocated.

     The  Partnership's  share  of  gains  or  losses  arising  from the sale or
refinancing of properties  shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1%
to the General Partners.  The Partnership's share of net proceeds arising from a
sale or  refinancing  shall be  distributed  first to the  Limited  Partners  in
amounts  equivalent to a 7% return on their average adjusted  capital  balances,
plus an amount  equal to their  capital  contributions,  then to all partners in
amounts  equal  to their  respective  positive  capital  account  balances.  The
partnership's  share of additional  proceeds,  after property  disposition fees,
shall then be allocated to the Limited Partners in an amount equivalent to 5% of
their average adjusted capital balances and the remainder,  if any, in the ratio
of  90%  to  the  Limited  Partners  and  10%  to  the  General  Partners.   The
Partnership's  share of income  arising  from the sale or  refinancing  shall be
allocated in the same manner as the proceeds are to be distributed,  except that
the General Partners are to be allocated at least 1% of the income.

     On May 5, 1992, the  Partnership  entered into an agreement to form a joint
venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited  Partnership VI A (RPILP VI A).
The joint  venture was formed for the  purpose of  operating  Carriage  House of
Englewood,  formerly Gold Key Village Apartments,  owned by the Partnership. The
joint venture is further described in Footnote 7.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     -------------------------------------------

     a)   Use of  Estimates
          -----------------

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     b)   Cash
          ----

     For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  cash includes the following  items:
cash on hand and cash in checking and money market savings.

     c)   Cash-Security Deposits
          ----------------------

     Cash-security  deposits  represents  cash on deposit in accordance with the
HUD regulatory agreement for the property which has a HUD mortgage.

     d)   Escrow Deposits
          ---------------

     Escrow  deposits  represent  cash which is  restricted  for the  payment of
property taxes or for repairs and  replacements  in accordance with the mortgage
agreement.

     e)   Mortgage Costs
          --------------

     Mortgage costs incurred in obtaining  property mortgage financing have been
deferred  and are  being  amortized  over the  term of the  mortgage  using  the
straight-line method.

     f)   Property and Depreciation
          -------------------------

     Depreciation is provided using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful  lives of the  respective  assets,  and  totaled  $70,290,  $118,072  and
$117,489 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
estimated  useful  lives of the  Partnership's  assets range from 5 to 25 years.
Expenditures  for  maintenance  and repairs  are  expensed  as  incurred;  major
renewals and betterments are  capitalized.  The Accelerated Cost Recovery System
is  used  to  calculate  depreciation  expense  for tax  purposes.  See  further
discussion at Footnote 3.

     g)   Minority Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture
          -----------------------------------------------

     The  minority  interest in a  consolidated  joint  venture is stated at the
amount of capital contributed by the minority investor adjusted for its share of
joint venture losses.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Con't.):
     ----------------------------------------------------

     h)   Rental Income
          -------------

     All rental  income is derived from one  residential  rental  property.  The
outstanding  leases with  respect to this  property are for terms of one year or
less.  The rental income is  recognized as earned  according to the terms of the
leases.

     i)   Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit
          ---------------------------------

     The loss per  limited  partnership  unit is based on the  weighted  average
number of limited partnership units outstanding for the year.

     j.)  Accrued Rent Receivable
          -----------------------

     Due to the nature of accrued  rent  receivable,  all such  receivables  are
fully reserved for at December 31,1996 and 1995.


3.   ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY:
     -----------------------------------------------

     In November 1981,  the  Partnership  acquired a 144 unit apartment  complex
(Carriage House of Englewood,  formerly Gold Key Village  Apartments) located in
Englewood, Ohio, for a purchase price of $2,860,754,  which included $191,872 in
acquisition fees.

     In  July,  1982,  the  Partnership  acquired  a 99 unit  apartment  complex
(Clarewood) located in Lafayette, Louisiana, for a purchase price of $2,428,834,
which included $134,992 in acquisition fees.

     In July,  1982,  the  partnership  acquired  a 155 unit  apartment  complex
(Gallery) located in Lafayette,  Louisiana,  for a purchase price of $3,546,653,
which included $197,987 in acquisition fees.

     In October, 1989, the partnership sold Clarewood and Gallery for a combined
price of $4,647,516,  which  generated a total net gain for financial  statement
purposes of $1,209,194.

     In  July  1996,  the  Partnership  entered  into a plan to  dispose  of the
property,  plant and  equipment of Carriage  House of Englewood  with a carrying
amount of $1,191,451.  Carriage  House of Englewood  incurred a loss of $299,092
for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Management has determined  that a sale of
the property is in the best interest of the investors.  As of December 31, 1996,
an agreement, cancelable by the buyer, has been signed with an anticipated sales
price of $3,700,000.

     In connection with the pending sale, the Partnership has received  $220,000
in non-refundable deposits, of which $47,200 is represented by a note receivable
from the buyer.

3.   ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY (Con't.):
     --------------------------------------------------------

     Financial  Accounting  Standards  Statement  No.  121,  Accounting  for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of (the
"Statement")  requires that assets to be disposed of be recorded at the lower of
carrying  value or fair value,  less costs to sell.  The Statement also requires
that such assets not be depreciated  during the disposal  period,  as the assets
will be recovered  through sale rather than through  operations.  In  accordance
with this Statement,  the long-lived  assets of the  Partnership,  classified as
held for sale on the balance sheet, are recorded at the carrying amount which is
the lower of carrying  value or fair value less costs to sell, and have not been
depreciated  during the  disposal  period.  Depreciation  expense,  not recorded
during  the  disposal  period,  for the year ended  December  31,  1996  totaled
approximately $44,000.

4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
     ---------------------------
 
     Management  fees for the  properties are paid or accrued to an affiliate of
the General Partners.  The management agreement provides for 5% of gross monthly
rental  receipts  of the  complex  to be  paid  as fees  for  administering  the
operations of the property.  These fees totaled $33,678, $37,930 and $36,939 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Accounts  payable to affiliates,  which are payable on demand,  amounted to
$784,461 and $874,484 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The payables
represent fees due and advances from the General  Partner or an affiliate of the
General  Partners.  Interest  is charged on  accounts  payable-affiliates  at an
annual rate of 11%. Such amounts  totaled  $84,692,  $83,159 and $72,083 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Corporate  General  Partner
charges the Partnership for reimbursement of certain costs and expenses incurred
by the Corporate  General  Partner and its  affiliates  in  connection  with the
administration  of the  Partnership.  These  charges were for the  Partnership's
allocated share of such costs and expenses as payroll, printing, mailing, travel
and   communication   costs   related   to   Partnership   accounting,   partner
communications and property  marketing and are included in property  operations.
Additionally,  Partnership  accounting and portfolio  management fees,  investor
services fees and brokerage fees are allocated based on total assets,  number of
partners  and  number of units,  respectively.  Such  charges  totaled  $19,312,
$13,174 and $19,514 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Computer  service  charges  for the  Partnership  are paid or accrued to an
affiliate of the General Partner.  The fee is based upon the number of apartment
units and totaled  $3,030,  $3,030 and $3,024 for the years ended  December  31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The Corporate  General Partner is allowed to collect  property  disposition
fees upon the sale of acquired properties.  This fee is not to exceed the lesser
of 9% of the gross proceeds of the offering applicable to the property or 50% of
normal  rates,  subordinated  to: (i) the payment to the  Limited  Partners of a
cumulative  annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% on their average adjusted
capital  balances;  (ii) the  repayment to the Limited  Partners of a cumulative
amount  equal to their  capital  contributions;  and  (iii) the  payment  to all
partners  of an  amount  equal  to their  respective  positive  capital  account
balances to the extent such  balances  exceed the  amounts  provided  for in the
preceding  clauses (i) and (ii).  Inasmuch as these conditions have not been met
no amounts have been recorded with regard to the sale of Clarewood and Gallery.

5.   MORTGAGE PAYABLE:
     -----------------
 
     Carriage House of Englewood
     ---------------------------
 
     On May 5, 1992, the  partnership's  first and second  mortgages on Carriage
House of Englewood  were  refinanced  with a 9% U.S.  Department  of Housing and
Urban  Development  (HUD) guaranteed  mortgage in the amount of $2,997,800,  due
June 1, 2027. The mortgage  provides for monthly principal and interest payments
of $23,503,  plus monthly escrow  deposits for real estate taxes,  insurance and
repairs  and  maintenance  totaling  $11,346.  The  balance of the  mortgage  at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2,930,266 and $2,947,711, respectively.

     The  mortgage  is  secured  by all of  the  assets  of  Carriage  House  of
Englewood.

     The  mortgage  is  subject  to a  HUD  regulatory  agreement  which  places
restrictions on the operations of the Partnership.

     As  discussed  in  Note  9 to the  Financial  Statements,  the  Partnership
currently is not in compliance  with certain  requirements of the HUD regulatory
agreement.

     Maturities  of the mortgage for each of the next five years and  thereafter
are as follows:

       1997                                      $     19,080
       1998                                            20,871
       1999                                            22,829
       2000                                            24,970
       2001                                            27,312
       Thereafter                                   2,815,204
                                                 ------------
       TOTAL                                     $  2,930,266
                                                 =============


6.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     -----------------------------------
    
     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 107 requires  disclosure
about fair  value of certain  financial  instruments.  The fair  values of cash,
accounts  payable,  accrued  expenses and deposit  liabilities  approximate  the
carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

     The fair  value of the  mortgage  payable,  which has a  carrying  value of
$2,930,266 at December 31, 1996, cannot be determined because it is uncertain if
a comparable  mortgage could be obtained in the current market. See Note 5 for a
description of the terms of the mortgage payable.

7.   MINORITY INTEREST OF RELATED PARTY IN CARRIAGE HOUSE OF ENGLEWOOD
     JOINT VENTURE:

     On May 5, 1992, the  Partnership  entered into an agreement to form a joint
venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited  Partnership VI A (RPILP VI A).
The joint  venture was formed for the  purpose of  operating  Carriage  House of
Englewood, formerly Gold Key Village Apartments, owned by the Partnership. Under
the original terms of the agreement,  RPILP VI A contributed $497,911,  with the
Partnership  contributing  the property net of the first  mortgage.  On March 1,
1993,  RPILP VI A contributed an additional  $125,239 to the joint venture.  The
amended joint venture agreement provides that any income,  loss, gain, cash flow
or sale proceeds be allocated 60% to the  Partnership and 40% to RPILP VI A. The
net loss from the date of inception has been allocated to the minority  interest
as  described  above  and  has  been  recorded  as a  reduction  of the  capital
contribution.

     A  reconciliation  of the  minority  interest  share in  Carriage  House of
Englewood Joint Venture is as follows:

         

                                       1996         1995

                                    =========    =========



8.   INCOME TAXES:
     -------------

     No provision has been made for income taxes since the income or loss of the
Partnership is to be included in the tax returns of the individual partners.

     The tax returns of the  Partnership  are subject to  examination by federal
and  state  taxing  authorities.  Under  federal  and  state  income  tax  laws,
regulations and rulings, certain types of transactions,  may be accorded varying
interpretations and, accordingly,  reported Partnership amounts could be changed
as a result of any such examination.

     The  reconciliation  of Partners'  Deficit for the years ended December 31,
1996,  1995 and 1994,  as reported in the balance  sheet and as reported for tax
return purposes, is as follows:

9.   GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS:

     On May 5, 1992,  the  Partnership  obtained a  mortgage  guaranteed  by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development  (HUD). The mortgage is subject to a
HUD  regulatory  agreement  which places  restrictions  on the operations of the
Partnership.  As of December 31, 1996 the partnership was not in compliance with
several of these regulations including those restricting commingling of funds.

     The consequences of the noncompliance with these restrictions could include
HUD-imposed  sanctions  such as fines or  interest  charges.  Additionally,  the
violation of the regulatory agreement could be deemed an event of default by the
mortgagor, and HUD could possibly take over as holder of the mortgage.

     Given the  uncertainty  surrounding the outcome of the  noncompliance,  the
Partnership's   recurring  losses  from  operations,   and  partners'   deficit,
substantial doubt exists about the Partnership's  ability to continue as a going
concern.  Management is currently negotiating a sale of the Partnership's assets
as  described  in  Footnote  3,  and  has   responded  to  HUD   regarding   the
aforementioned noncompliance including its intentions to remedy the situation.
