State of Delaware (the "Partnership").  This Agreement and the First Amended and
Restated  Agreement of Limited  Partnership  of Insignia  Properties,  L.P. (the
"Partnership  Agreement") are entered into  simultaneously with each other as of
the 31st day of  December,  1996 and each shall be  effective  as of the Closing
Date,  as  defined  herein  (notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   the  Partnership
Agreement may become effective before the date of this Agreement).


                                    RECITALS

A.   Each  Contributing  Partner  owns  limited  partner  interests  in  limited
     partnerships that principally own multi- family residential housing and, to
     a  lesser  extent,  commercial  properties.   The  identity  of  each  such
     partnership, together with the number of limited partnership units owned by
     each Contributing Partner, is set forth under the name of each Contributing
     Partner  in  Exhibit  A  hereto   (collectively,   the   "Limited   Partner
     Interests").

B.   Insignia Properties Trust, a Maryland business trust ("IPT"), was formed in
     May 1996, for the purpose of qualifying to act as a real estate  investment
     trust  under  the  Internal  Revenue Code  of 1986,  as  amended.  IPT is a
     successor  by  merger  to  Insignia  Properties  Corporation,   a  Delaware
     corporation formed on January 17, 1996.

<PAGE>


C.   It is contemplated that  substantially all of IPT's assets will be held in,
     and  substantially  all of its  investments  will be conducted  through the
     Partnership,  which will  hold,  among  other  things,  all of the  Limited
     Partner Interests.

D.   Accordingly,  each  Contributing  Partner hereby proposes to contribute the
     Limited  Partner  Interests  to the  Partnership  in exchange for which the
     Partnership  will issue limited partner units to Insignia  Financial Group,
     Inc., a Delaware corporation ("IFG").

     In  consideration   of  the  foregoing  and  the  mutual   representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Contributing Partners
and the Partnership hereby agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

                             CONTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

1.01 Contribution  of the Assets.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of this
     Agreement,  on  January 1, 1997 (the  "Closing  Date"),  each  Contributing
     Partner  shall  assign  and  deliver  to the  Partnership  as  its  Capital
     Contribution  (as defined in the  Partnership  Agreement) all of its right,
     title and interest in and to the Limited Partner  Interests in exchange for
     the issuance to IFG of the aggregate number of limited partnership units in
     the  Partnership  set  forth  on  Exhibit  B  hereto   (collectively,   the
     "Partnership  Interests")  (the  number  shown on  Exhibit B is  subject to
     adjustment based on those final valuations of the Partnership  Interests as
     shown in that  certain  Confidential  Memorandum  by which  IPT will  offer
     shares of beneficial interest).

1.02 Assignment of Ownership  Interest.  Effective as of the Closing Date,  each
     Contributing Partner shall grant, assign,  transfer,  convey and deliver to
     the  Partnership,  all of such  Contributing  Partner's  right,  title  and
     interest in and to 100% of such Contributing Partner's Partnership Interest
     in the Partnership(s) free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances,  security
     interests and competing claims.

1.03 Assumption of Obligations.  By acceptance of this Agreement the Partnership
     hereby  agrees  from and after the  Closing  Date to be bound by all of the
     terms and  provisions  of the  Partnership  Agreements  applicable  to each
     Contributing Partner and each Contributing Partner Partnership Interest all
     as set forth on Exhibit C hereto and assumes and agrees to perform, pay and
     discharge in full, when due, all of each Contributing Partner's liabilities
     and obligations  under the Partnership  Agreements and with respect to each
     Contributing Partner's Partnership Interest;  provided,  however, that this
     assumption

<PAGE>

     shall have  application  only to those  liabilities and obligations of each
     Contributing Partner first accruing or arising on or after the Closing Date
     and shall  have no  application  to any such  liabilities  and  obligations
     accruing or arising prior to the Closing Date.


                                   ARTICLE II

     Contributing  Partner shall deliver the following to the Partnership on the

     and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Partnership, dated as of the
     Closing Date:

     (a)  A copy of the  resolutions  of each  Contributing  Partner's  Board of
          Directors, certified by a duly authorized officer of such Contributing
          Partner,   authorizing  or  ratifying  its  execution,   delivery  and
          performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated hereby and thereby;

     (b)  A  certificate  of a duly  authorized  officer  of  each  Contributing
          Partner  certifying  the names and true  signatures of the officers of
          such  Contributing  Partner  authorized to sign this Agreement and the
          other documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder; and

     (c)  Such other  approvals and documents as the  Partnership may reasonably
          request as to the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability
          of  this  Agreement  or any  other  agreement  or  document  delivered
          pursuant hereto.

2.02 Effect of  Contribution.  On the Closing Date, upon the satisfaction of the
     condition  precedent  set forth in Section 4.01 below,  in exchange for its
     Capital  Contribution  (i) IFG will  receive  each  Contributing  Partner's

     forth opposite its name on Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement.

3.01 Conveyance of Interest. Upon the Closing Date, assuming the satisfaction of
     or waiver of all  conditions  set forth in Article  IV  hereof,  all of the

     Agreement  and to perform its  obligations  hereunder and  thereunder.  The
     execution,  delivery and performance by each  Contributing  Partner of this
     Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary  corporate action; and
     this  Agreement has been duly  executed and delivered by each  Contributing
     Partner and is enforceable against each Contributing  Partner in accordance
     with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
     insolvency,  receivership,  conservatorship,  reorganization,  liquidation,
     moratorium or similar  events  affecting such  Contributing  Partner or its
     assets, or by general principles of equity.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                       CONDITIONS TO CLOSING; TERMINATION

4.01 Conditions  Precedent to Contributing  Partners'  Obligation to Close.  The
     obligation  of the  Contributing  Partners to consummate  the  transactions
     contemplated  hereby are  subject to the  satisfaction,  as of the  Closing
     Date, the following  condition,  which may be waived in whole or in part by
     the Contributing  Partners prior to closing.  Each Contributing  Partner in
     its  sole  discretion  shall be  satisfied  that  all  necessary  consents,
     authorizations  and  approvals  for the  consummation  of the  transactions
     contemplated  hereby have been  obtained from all  applicable  governmental
     authorities and other third parties.

4.02 Termination.  In the event that the condition precedent to the Contributing
     Partners' obligation to consummate the transactions  contemplated hereby as
     set forth above has not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date,  then
     in such event this Agreement  shall  terminate and become null and void and
     of no further  force and effect and  neither  party  shall have any further
     obligation to the other.

     supplemented only by written agreement of the parties hereto.

5.02 Waiver of Compliance;  Consents.  Any failure of a party to comply with any
     obligation,  covenant,  agreement or condition  herein may be waived by the
     other party; provided,  however, that any such waiver may be made only by a
     written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver.

5.03 Assignment.  This  Agreement  and all of its  provisions  hereof  shall  be
     binding  upon the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective  successors  and
