Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he or she has received and
reviewed (i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated June 9, 1999 (the "Offer
Date") relating to the offer by AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the "Purchaser") to
purchase Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") in Shelter Properties I, a
South Carolina limited partnership (the "Partnership"), (ii) the Supplement to
the Offer to Purchase, dated July 8, 1999, and (iii) this Letter of Transmittal
and the Instructions hereto, as each may be supplemented or amended from time
to time (collectively, the "Offer").
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby tenders to the
Purchaser the Units set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," including all interests in any limited partnership represented by
such units (collectively, the "Units"), at the price of $759 per Unit, less the
amount of distributions, if any, made by the Partnership from the Offer Date
until the Expiration Date (the "Offer Price"), net to the undersigned in cash,
without interest.
Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon
the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units
tendered hereby that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including,
without limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and
distributions of any kind to which the undersigned shall at any time be
entitled in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to
become due to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of
the agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), or any agreement pursuant to which the Units were sold (the
"Purchase Agreement"), whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement
or Purchase Agreement or the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including,
without limitation, all voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or
similar rights, and rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the
Partnership; and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against the Partnership, the other partners of the Partnership, or the general
partner and its affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of
the Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned's status as
a limited partner, or the terms or conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned
or advanced, for services rendered, for the management of the Partnership or
otherwise.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of,
the Purchaser, to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize the
transfer of the Units to the Purchaser including, without limitation, the
"Transferor's (Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the
Information Agent (as the undersigned's agent) of the Offer Price, to become a
substitute limited partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the
Partnership from and after the Expiration Date of the Offer (regardless of the
record date for any such distribution), and to receive all benefits and
otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, all in
accordance with the terms of the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the
purchase of the Units by the Purchaser as provided in the Offer and shall be
irrevocable for a period of ten years following the termination of the Offer.
Upon the purchase of Units pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and
consents given by the undersigned with respect to such Units will be revoked
and no subsequent proxies or consents may be given (and if given will not be
deemed effective).
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership
3
<PAGE> 4
and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be required to
effect the transfer of the undersigned's Units to the Purchaser (or its
designee) and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute limited partner in the
Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (ii) empowers the
Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to each general partner a change
of address form instructing the general partner to send any and all future
distributions to the address specified in the form, and to endorse any check
payable to or upon the order of such unitholder representing a distribution to
which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the offer, in each
case, in the name and on behalf of the tendering unitholder; (iii) agrees not
to exercise any rights pertaining to the Units without the prior consent of the
Purchaser; and (iv) requests and consents to the transfer of the Units, to be
effective on the books and records of the Partnership as of June 9, 1999.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR ANY PURCHASE
AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY DIRECTS EACH GENERAL PARTNER
OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE ALL DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE PURCHASER ACCEPTS THE
TENDERED UNITS FOR PAYMENT TO THE PURCHASER OR ITS DESIGNEE. Subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby, the
undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the Partnership
as a substitute limited partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver additional documents
deemed by the Information Agent or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable
to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and
will hold any distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration
Date in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly
forward to the Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The
Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from
time to time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the
rights of tendering unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered
and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (i) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity
deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101
of any such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the
Offer will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned
recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the
Purchaser may not be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered
hereby. In such event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of
Transmittal for Units not accepted for payment may be destroyed by the
Purchaser (or its agent). EXCEPT AS STATED IN THE OFFER, THIS TENDER IS
IRREVOCABLE, PROVIDED THAT UNITS TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE
WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE, OR UNLESS ALREADY ACCEPTED
FOR PAYMENT, ANY TIME AFTER AUGUST 9, 1999.
THE UNDERSIGNED HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PURCHASER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND NO SUCH GENERAL PARTNER MAKES ANY
RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE
OFFER. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION TO TENDER UNITS.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Purchaser that the undersigned owns the Units tendered
hereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary action to
validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units tendered
hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free
and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and
such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Our records indicate that the undersigned owns the number of Units set
forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units Tendered" under the
column entitled "Total Number of Units Owned." If you would like to tender only
a
4
<PAGE> 5
portion of your Units, please so indicate in the space provided in the box
above entitled "Description of Units Tendered."
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.
The undersigned further represents and warrants that, to the extent a
certificate evidencing the Units tendered hereby (the "original certificate")
is not delivered by the undersigned together with this Letter of Transmittal,
(i) the undersigned represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the
undersigned has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited
or otherwise disposed of any portion of the Units, (ii) the undersigned has
caused a diligent search of its records to be taken and has been unable to
locate the original certificate, (iii) if the undersigned shall find or recover
the original certificate evidencing the Units, the undersigned will immediately
and without consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the
undersigned shall at all times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the
Purchaser and the Partnership, its successors, and its assigns from and against
any and all claims, actions, and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and
from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs,
charges, counsel fees, and other expenses of every nature and character by
reason of honoring or refusing to honor the original certificate when presented
by or on behalf of a holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed
by the partnership to be such, or by issuance or delivery of a replacement
certificate, or the making of any payment, delivery, or credit in respect of
the original certificate without surrender thereof, or in respect of the
replacement certificate.

dividends; or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such unitholder is no longer

"Description of Units Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Letter
of Transmittal should be completed.
5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The unitholder(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the
unitholder(s)' taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as
true, under penalties of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box B
and, if applicable, Box C. By signing the Signature Box, the
unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box B and, if
applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9
for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.
U.S. PERSONS. A unitholder that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic trust or
a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms are defined in
the Code, should follow the instructions below with respect to certifying Box A
and Box B.
BOX A - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering unitholders must certify
to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this Letter of
Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered" is correct. If
a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the unitholder being subject to backup
withholding.
Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income tax
backup withholding, the tendering unitholder must certify, under penalty of
perjury, that such unitholder is not subject to backup withholding. Certain
unitholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain exempt
non-profit organizations) 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. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A,
PART (ii), UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO
BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following as a
guide:
Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.
Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears first.
Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not necessary
to provide).
Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN of the
minor.
Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect the TIN
assigned to that entity.
9
<PAGE> 10
By signing the Signature Box, the unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as
printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is correct.
BOX B - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
unitholder transferring interests in a partnership with real estate assets
meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the representations
made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax equal to 10% of the purchase
price for interests purchased. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is
not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a
refund may be obtained from the IRS. PART (i) SHOULD BE CHECKED ONLY IF THE
TENDERING UNITHOLDER IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, AS DESCRIBED THEREIN.
BOX C - FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering unitholder who is a Foreign
Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as exempt from
31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must certify, under penalties
of perjury, the statement in Box C of this Letter of Transmittal, attesting to
that Foreign Person's status by checking the box preceding such statement.
UNLESS THE BOX IS CHECKED, SUCH UNITHOLDER WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING
OF TAX.
6. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a
Letter of Transmittal and other required documents will be determined
by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The
Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including these Instructions for this Letter of Transmittal) will be
final and binding. The Purchaser will have the right to waive any
irregularities or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any
irregularities in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be
cured within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. This Letter
of Transmittal will not be valid until any irregularities have been
cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are
under any duty to give notification of defects in a Letter of
Transmittal and will incur no liability for failure to give such
notification.
7. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the
Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.
8. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the
transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price
unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is submitted.
9. MINIMUM TENDERS. A unitholder may tender any or all of his, her or its
Units.
10. CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders
will be accepted.

SUPPLEMENT TO
OFFER TO PURCHASE BY
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
OF UP TO 3,601.67 UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
Shelter Properties I
FOR $759 PER UNIT IN CASH
We will only accept a maximum of 3,601.67 units in response to our offer. If
more units are tendered to us, we will generally accept units on a pro rata
basis according to the number of units tendered by each person.
We will pay for units tendered pursuant to the offer promptly after expiration
of the offer.
Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions made by your partnership
since the date of the Offer to Purchase and prior to the expiration of our
offer.
Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on July 14, 1999, unless we extend the deadline.
YOU WILL NOT PAY ANY FEES OR COMMISSIONS IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS.
Our offer is not subject to any minimum number of units being tendered.
SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 1 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ON
PAGE 1 HEREIN FOR A DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN
CONNECTION WITH OUR OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
o We determined the offer price of $759 per unit without any
arms-length negotiations. Accordingly, our offer price may not
reflect the fair market value of your units.
o Your general partner and the property manager of the residential
property are affiliates of ours and, therefore, the general partner
has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer.
o We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and,
therefore, there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your
units at a low price and your desire to sell your units at a high
price.
o Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates
continuing to receive management fees from your partnership. Such
fees would not be payable if your partnership was liquidated.
o It is possible that we may conduct a subsequent offer at a higher
price.
o For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any
future distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or
upon a sale or refinancing of property owned by your partnership.
o If we acquire a substantial number of units, we will increase our
ability to influence voting decisions with respect to your
partnership and may control such voting decisions, including but not
limited to the removal of the general partner, most amendments to the
partnership agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of
your partnership's assets.
If you desire to accept our offer, you should complete and sign the Letter
of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and mail or deliver
the signed Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents to River Oaks
Partnership Services, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in connection
with our offer, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this
Supplement. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF
THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MAY ALSO BE
DIRECTED TO THE INFORMATION AGENT AT (888) 349-2005.
July 8, 1999
<PAGE> 2
We are offering to purchase up to 3,601.67 units, representing
approximately 24.01% of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest
in your partnership, for the purchase price of $759 per unit, net to the seller
in cash, without interest, less the amount of distributions, if any, made by
your partnership in respect of any unit from June 9, 1999 until the expiration
date. Our offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 9, 1999, this Supplement and in the
accompanying letter of transmittal.
If you tender your units in response to our offer you will not be
obligated to pay any commissions or partnership transfer fees but will be
obligated to pay any transfer taxes (see Instruction 8 to the letter of
transmit tal). We have retained River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc. to act as
the Information Agent in connection with our offer. We will pay all charges and
expenses in connection with the services of the Information Agent. The offer is
not conditioned on any minimum number of units being tendered. However, certain
other conditions do apply. See "The Offer - Section 17. Conditions of the
Offer," in the Offer to Purchase.
Our offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 14,
1999, unless extended. If you desire to accept our offer, you must complete and
sign the letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions contained
therein and forward or hand deliver it, together with any other required
documents, to the Information Agent. You may withdraw your tender of units
pursuant to the offer at any time prior to the expiration date of our offer
and, if we have not accepted such units for payment, on or after August 9,
1999.
Our Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented as follows:
1. The text under "Risk Factors - Recognition of Taxable Gain on Your
Sale of Your Units" set forth under "Risk Factors" of the Offer to Purchase is
hereby replaced in its entirety by inserting the following in lieu thereof:
Your sale of units for cash will be a taxable sale, with the result
that you will recognize taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between
the amount realized on the sale and your adjusted tax basis in the units of
limited partnership interest of your partnership you transfer to us. The
"amount realized" with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest of
your partnership you transfer to us will be equal to the sum of the amount of
cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of
partnership liabilities allocable to the unit. The particular tax consequences
for you of our offer will depend upon a number of factors related to your tax
situation, including your tax basis in your units of limited partnership
interest of your partnership you transfer to us, whether you dispose of all of
your units and whether you have available suspended passive losses, credits or
other tax items to offset any gain recognized as a result of your sale of your
units of limited partnership interest of your partnership. Therefore, depending
on your basis in the units and your tax position, your taxable gain and any tax
liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer could
exceed our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering units
will not be the same for everyone, you should consult your own tax advisor to
determine the tax consequences of the offer to you.
2. The text under "Risk Factors-Possible Increase in Control of Your
Partnership by Us" is hereby replaced in its entirety by inserting the
following in lieu thereof:
Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your
partnership are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general
partner of your partnership is our affiliate, we control the management of your
partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited
partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain
extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, the
addition of a new general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement
and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. If we
acquire all the units we are tendering for we will own a majority of the
outstanding units and will have the ability to control any vote of the limited
partners.
3. The first sentence under "The Offer - Section 5. Extension of
Tender Period; Termination; Amendment" is hereby amended to read as follows:
2
<PAGE> 3
We expressly reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, at any
time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which our
offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any
unit, (ii) to terminate the offer and not accept any units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for if any of the conditions to the offer are not
satisfied or if any event occurs that might reasonably be expected to result in
a failure to satisfy such conditions, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the
conditions specified in "The Offer Section 17," to delay the acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any units not already accepted for payment or paid
for, and (iv) to amend our offer in any respect (including, without limitation,
by increasing the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing the units
being sought, or both).
4. The second paragraph under "The Offer - Section 9. Background and
Reasons for the Offer Alternatives Considered by Your General Partner -
Liquidation" is hereby amended to read as follows:
However, in the opinion of your general partner (which is our
subsidiary), the present time may not be the most desirable time to sell the
residential real estate assets of your partnership in a private transaction,
and the proceeds realized from any such sale would be uncertain. Your general
partner believes it currently is in the best interest of your partnership to
continue holding its residential real estate assets. Although there might be a
prepayment penalty of approximately 1 to 2% of the outstanding balance of the
mortgages depending on when and under what circumstances they are prepaid, such
prepayment penalties are not a significant factor in determining when a
property may be sold. See "The Offer - Section 13. Certain Information
Concerning Your Partnership Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or
Financing of Investments."
5. The text under "The Offer - Section 9. Background and Reasons for
the Offer - Comparison of Consideration to Alternative Consideration-Prices on
Secondary Market" is hereby replaced in its entirety by inserting the following
in lieu thereof:
Secondary market sales information is not a reliable measure of value
because of the lack of any known trades. At present, privately negotiated sales
and sales through intermediaries are the only means which may be available to a
limited partner to liquidate an investment in units (other than our offer)
because the units are not listed or traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ,
on the Electronic Bulletin Board, or in "pink sheets." Secondary sales activity
for the units, including privately negotiated sales, has been limited and
sporadic.
Set forth below are the high and low sale prices of units for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and for the first two months of
1999, as reported by The Partnership Spectrum, which is an independent,
third-party source. The gross sales prices reported by The Partnership Spectrum
do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received by sellers of units,
which typically are reduced by commissions and other secondary market
transaction costs to amounts less than the reported price. The Partnership
Spectrum represents only one source of secondary sales information, and other
services may contain prices for the units that equal or exceed sales prices
reported in The Partnership Spectrum. We do not know whether the information
compiled by The Partnership Spectrum is accurate or complete.

its entirety by inserting the following in lieu thereof:
The general partner of your partnership believes the offer price and
the structure of the transaction are fair to the limited partners. In making
such determination, the general partner considered all of the factors and
information set forth below, but did not quantify or otherwise attach
particular weight to any such factors or information:
o The offer gives you an opportunity to make an individual
decision on whether to tender your units or to continue to
hold them.
o Our offer price, and the method we used to determine our
offer price.
o The fact that the price offered for your units is based on an
estimated value of your partnership's properties that has
been determined using a method believed to reflect the
valuation of such assets by buyers in the market for similar
assets.
o Prices at which the units have recently sold, to the extent
such information is available.
o The absence of an established trading market for your units.
o An analysis of possible alternative transactions, including a
property sale or refinancing, or a liquidation of the
partnership.
o An evaluation of the financial condition and results of
operations of your partnership including the increase in
property income of your partnership from $2,281,000 for the
year ended Decem ber 31, 1997 to $2,446,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to
whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Although the
general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make your own decision
whether or not to participate in the offer, based upon a number of factors,
including your financial position, your need or

desire for liquidity, other financial opportunities available to you, and your
tax position and the tax consequences to you of selling your units.
7. The text under "The Offer - Section 14. Voting Power" is hereby
replaced in its entirety by inserting the following in lieu thereof:
Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your
partnership are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general
partner of your partnership is our affiliate, we control the management of your
partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited
partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain
extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, the
addition of a new general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement
and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. If we
acquire all the units we are offering to purchase, we will own a majority of
the outstanding units and will have the ability to control any vote of the
limited partners.
8. The text under "The Offer - Section 15. Source of Funds" is hereby
replaced in its entirety by inserting the following in lieu thereof:
We expect that approximately $2,733,664 will be required to purchase
all of the 3,601.67 limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer
(exclusive of fees and expenses estimated to be $10,000). For more information
regarding fees and expenses, see "The Offer - Section 19. Fees and Expenses" in
the Offer to Purchase.
In addition to this offer, we are concurrently making offers to
acquire interests in approximately 100 other limited partnerships. If all such
offers were fully subscribed for cash, we would be required to pay
approximately $260 million for all such units. If for some reason we did not
have such funds available we might extend this offer for a period of time
sufficient for us to obtain additional funds, or we might terminate this offer.
However, based on our past experience with similar offers, we do not expect all
such offers to be fully subscribed. Also, in some offers, investors have been
offered a choice of cash or securities. As a result, we expect that the funds
that will be necessary to consummate all the offers will be substantially less
than $200 million. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and
available sources of financing to pay such amounts. As of March 31, 1999, we
had $38,000,000 of cash on hand and $145,000,000 available for borrowing under
our existing lines of credit.
Under our $145 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America") and BankBoston,
N.A., AIMCO Properties, L.P. is the borrower and all obligations thereunder are
guaranteed by AIMCO and certain of its subsidiaries. The annual interest rate
under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or Bank of America's
reference rate, at our election, plus, an applicable margin. We elect which
interest rate will be applicable to particular borrowings under the credit
facility. The margin ranges between 2.25% and 2.75% in the case of LIBOR-based
loans and between 0.75% and 1.25% in the case of base rate loans, depending
upon a ratio of our consolidated unsecured indebtedness to the value of certain
unencumbered assets. The credit facility matures on September 30, 1999 unless
extended, at the discretion of the lenders. The credit facility provides for
the conversion of the revolving facility into a three year term loan. The
availability of funds to us under the credit facility is subject to certain
borrowing base restrictions and other customary restrictions, including
compliance with financial and other covenants thereunder. The financial
covenants require us to maintain a ratio of debt to gross asset value of no
more than 0.55 to 1.0, an interest coverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.0 and a fixed
charge coverage ratio of at least 1.7 to 1.0 from January 1, 1999 through June
30, 1999, and 1.8 to 1.0 thereafter. In addition, the credit facility limits us
from distributing more than 80% of our Funds From Operations (as defined) to
holders of our units, imposes minimum net worth requirements and provides other
financial covenants related to certain unencumbered assets.

Dear Unitholder:
We are offering to acquire up to 3,601.67 units in your partnership,
Shelter Properties I. Our offer presents you with the following two options,
which you are free to accept or reject in any combination you like:
1. You may tender each of your units in exchange for $759 in
cash, in which case you may recognize a gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes.
2. You may retain any or all of your units. If you choose to
retain any or all of your units, your rights as a holder of units will
remain unchanged. You will continue to participate in gains and losses
of your partnership(s), and you will receive distributions, if any,
payable in respect of your units.
We are offering to acquire up to 3,601.67 outstanding units in your
partnership. Our offer is not subject to any minimum number of units being
tendered. If more units are tendered than we are offering to acquire, we will
prorate the purchase so that the same approximate percentage of units tendered
by each partner will be purchased. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY
COMMISSIONS OR FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPOSITION OF YOUR UNITS PURSUANT
TO OUR OFFER. Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions
subsequently made by your partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.
There are advantages and disadvantages to you of accepting or
declining our offer. The terms of the offer are more fully described in the
enclosed materials. These documents describe the material risks and
opportunities associated with the offer, including certain tax considerations.
Please review these documents carefully. The general partner of your
partnership, which is owned by us, has substantial conflicts of interest with
respect to the offer. Accordingly, the general partner of your partnership
makes no recommendation to you as to whether you should tender or refrain from
tendering your units in the offer.
If you desire to tender any of your units in response to our offer,
you should complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance
with the enclosed instructions and mail or deliver the signed letter of
transmittal and any other required documents to River Oaks Partnership
Services, Inc., which is acting as the Information Agent in connection with our
offer, at the address set forth on the back cover of the enclosed Offer to
Purchase. The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 14,
1999, unless extended. If you have questions or require further information,
please call the Information Agent, toll free, at (888) 349-2005.
Very truly yours,
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
