ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
          --------

     Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership
which was formed under the District of Columbia Limited Partnership Act on June
1, 1981.  On December 31, 1981, the Partnership commenced offering 30,000 units
of limited partnership interests through a public offering which was managed by
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated.  The Partnership closed the
offering on December 31, 1982 when 24,837 units of limited partnership interests
became fully subscribed.

     The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the
Managing General Partner, current and former shareholders of CRI and Rockville
Pike Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership which includes the
shareholders of CRI and several officers and former employees of CRI.  Services
for the Partnership are performed by CRI, as the Partnership has no employees of
its own.

     The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate, which is the
Partnership's principal business activity, by acquiring and holding a limited
partnership interest in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships).  The
Partnership originally made investments in eighteen Local Partnerships.  As of
December 31, 1997, the Partnership had investments in seventeen Local
Partnerships.  Each of these Local Partnerships owns a federal or state
government-assisted or conventionally financed apartment complex, which provides
housing principally to the elderly or to individuals and families of low or
moderate income.  The original objectives of these investments, not necessarily
in order of importance, were to:

     (1)  preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
     (2)  provide, during the early years of the Partnership's operations,
          current tax benefits to the partners in the form of tax losses which
          the partners may use to offset income from other sources;
     (3)  provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the
          Partnership's investments and increased equity through periodic
          payments on the indebtedness on the apartment complexes; and
     (4)  provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing of the
          Partnership's investments and, on a limited basis, from rental
          operations.

See Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, for a discussion of factors affecting the original
investment objectives.

     The Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested were organized
by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, applied for
applicable mortgage insurance and/or subsidies, and remain as the local general
partners in the Local Partnerships.  The Partnership became the principal
limited partner in these Local Partnerships pursuant to negotiations with these
developers who act as the local general partners.  However, in the event of
non-compliance with the Local Partnerships' partnership agreements, the local
general partner may be removed and replaced with another local general partner
or with an affiliate of the Partnership's Managing General Partner. As a limited
partner, the Partnership's legal liability for obligations of the Local
Partnerships is limited to its investment.  An affiliate of the Managing General
Partner of the Partnership is also generally a general partner of the Local
Partnerships.  In most cases, the local general partners of the Local
Partnerships retain responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining,
operating and managing the projects.  Additionally, the local general partners
and affiliates of the Managing General Partner may operate other apartment

complexes which may be in competition for eligible tenants with the Local
Partnerships' apartment complexes.

     Although each of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested owns an apartment complex which must compete in the market place for
tenants, interest subsidies and/or rent supplements from governmental agencies
generally make it possible to offer certain of these dwelling units to eligible
tenants at a cost significantly below the market rate for comparable
conventionally financed dwelling units.  Based on available data, the General
Partners believe there to be no material risk of market competition in the
operations of the apartment complexes described below which would adversely
impact the Partnership, except in specific circumstances as described in Part
II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

     (a)  It is not anticipated that there will be any formal market for resale
          of interests in the Partnership.  As a result, investors may be unable
          to sell or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership.

     (b)  As of March 19, 1998, there were approximately 1,700 registered
          holders of limited partnership interests in the Partnership.

     (c)  For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership made a cash
          distribution of $484,073 ($19.49 per Limited Partner unit) to the
          Limited Partners on October 31, 1996.  The distribution was a result
          of the sale of Tanglewood I.  No distributions were declared or paid
          by the Partnership during 1997 or 1995.  The Partnership received
          distributions of $492,235, $381,770 and $434,022 from Local
          Partnerships during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Some of the
          Local Partnerships operate under restrictions imposed by the pertinent
          governmental agencies that limit the cash return available to the
          Partnership.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          -------------------------------------------------
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               -----------------------------------

                                     General
                                     -------

     The Partnership has invested, through Local Partnerships, primarily in
federal or state government-assisted apartment complexes (the "properties")
intended to provide housing to low and moderate income tenants.  In conjunction
with such government assistance, which includes federal and/or state financing
at below-market interest rates and rental subsidies, the Local Partnerships
agreed to regulatory limitations on (i) cash distributions, (ii) use of the
properties and (iii) sale or refinancing.  These limitations typically were
designed to remain in place for the life of the mortgage.

     The original investment objectives of the Partnership primarily were to
deliver tax benefits, as well as cash proceeds upon disposition of the
properties through the Partnership's investment in local limited partnerships. 
Only limited annual cash distributions from property operations were projected
because of the regulatory restrictions on cash distributions from the
properties.

     The original investment objectives of the Partnership have been affected by
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 which virtually eliminated many of the incentives for
the new construction or the sale of existing low income housing properties by
limiting the use of passive loss deductions. Therefore, the Managing General
Partner continues to concentrate on transferring the source of investment yield
from tax benefits to cash flow wherever possible and potentially enhancing the
ability of the Partnership to share in the appreciated value of the properties. 

     The acquisition of interests in certain Local Partnerships resulted in
purchase money note obligations of the Partnership.  The purchase money notes
are nonrecourse obligations of the Partnership which typically mature fifteen
years from the dates of acquisition of the interests in particular Local
Partnerships.

     The Managing General Partner has been working to develop a strategy to sell
certain properties by utilizing opportunities presented by federal affordable
housing legislation, favorable financing terms and preservation incentives
available to nonprofit purchasers.  The Managing General Partner intends to
utilize part or all of the Partnership's net proceeds (after a 50% distribution
to limited partners) received from the sales of properties to fund reserves for
paying at maturity, prepaying or purchasing prior to maturity, at a discount
where possible, currently outstanding purchase money notes.  The Managing
General Partner believes that this represents an opportunity to reduce the
Partnership's  obligations.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are financed
by state housing agencies.  The Managing General Partner has been working to
develop strategies to sell or refinance certain properties pursuant to programs
developed by these agencies or other potential buyers.  These programs may
include opportunities to sell a property to a qualifying purchaser who would
agree to maintain the property as low to moderate income housing in perpetuity,
or to refinance a property, or to obtain supplemental financing.  The Managing
General Partner continues to monitor certain state housing agency programs

and/or programs provided by certain lenders, to ascertain whether the properties
would qualify within the parameters of a given program and whether these
programs would provide an appropriate economic benefit to the limited partners
of the Partnership.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are dependent
on the receipt of project-based rental Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)
provided by HUD pursuant to Section 8 HAP contracts.  Under Section 8 HAP
contracts, HUD guaranteed rental properties a high monthly rental payment for
each low and moderate income apartment unit maintained in the complex.  Over the
years, annual increases have pushed rents on many of the Section 8 HAP contracts
above the market rate for comparable non-subsidized properties.  In an effort to
deal with the increasing burden of funding Section 8 HAP contracts, many of
which are now expiring, President Clinton signed into law, effective October 1,
1997, the Fiscal Year 1998 HUD appropriations bill which includes Mark-to-Market
legislation.  The new legislation allows all Section 8 contracts with rents at
(or reduced to) less than 120% of fair market rents which expire between now and
September 1998 to be renewed for one year.  At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1999
(October 1, 1998), all expiring contracts with rents exceeding comparable market
rents and whose mortgages are insured by FHA will be subject to the Mark-to-
Market legislation.

     Mark-to-Market implementation will reduce rental income at properties which
are currently subsidized at higher-than-market rental rates, and will therefore
lower cash flow available to meet mortgage payments and operating expenses. 
Each affected property will undergo debt restructuring according to terms
determined by an individual property and operations evaluation.  This will
involve reducing the first mortgage loan balance to an amount supportable by the
property, taking into account the property's operating expenses and reduced
income.  The balance of the amount written down from the first mortgage will be
converted to a non-performing but accruing (soft) second mortgage.

     Under current law, the write down of an FHA-insured mortgage under Mark-to
Market would trigger cancellation of debt income to the limited partners, a
taxable event, even though no actual cash is received.  Additionally, the newly
created second mortgage may accrue interest at a lower-than-market rate, thereby
generating further taxable "income."  Proposals to counter these tax effects
have been presented; however, no form of relief has been approved under IRS
regulations at this time.  Each property subject to Mark-to-Market will be
affected in a different manner, and it is very difficult to predict the exact
form of restructuring or potential tax liabilities to the limited partners at
this time.

     In addition to the above, current HUD legislation no longer funds the Low
Income Housing Preservation and Home Ownership Act (LIHPRHA) which had provided
property owners with restricted opportunities to sell low income housing.  With
the discontinuation of the LIHPRHA program and the uncertainty of continued
project-based Section 8 subsidies for properties with expiring HAP contracts,
the Managing General Partner remains committed to improving operations,
increasing efficiency, maintaining and increasing occupancy, working with state
housing agencies where appropriate, and effectively increasing salability of the
properties wherever possible.

     The Managing General Partner is considering new strategies to deal with the
ever changing environment of affordable housing policy.  Properties with

expiring Section 8 HAP contracts may become convertible to market-rate apartment
properties.  Currently, there are a few lenders that will provide additional
funds to allow the property to convert to market-rate units.  Where
opportunities exist, the Managing General Partner will continue to work with the
Local Partnerships to develop strategies that make economic sense for all
parties involved.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

     As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately 1,700 investors
who subscribed to a total of 24,837 units of limited partnership interests in
the original amount of $24,837,000.  The Partnership originally made investments
in eighteen Local Partnerships, of which seventeen remain at December 31, 1997. 
The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $2,204,552 as
of December 31, 1997, along with anticipated future cash distributions from the
Local Partnerships, is expected to meet its current and anticipated operating
cash needs.  The Partnership has determined that the carrying amounts of its
cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted certificate of deposit approximate
fair value.  As of March 19, 1998, there were no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

     During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership received cash distributions of
$492,235, $381,770 and $434,022, respectively, from the Local Partnerships.

     The Partnership's obligations with respect to its investments in Local
Partnerships in the form of purchase money notes having a principal balance of
$4,478,800 as of December 31, 1997, plus accrued interest of $6,723,580, are
payable in full upon the earliest of: (1) sale or refinancing of the respective
Local Partnership's rental property; (2) payment in full of the respective Local
Partnership's permanent loan; or (3) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $500,000 matured on January 1, 1997 and were paid
off.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000 matured
on January 1, 1997, and have not yet been paid or extended.  The remaining
purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,778,800 mature June
1, 1998.  See the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information pertaining to these purchase money notes.

     The purchase money notes are generally secured by the Partnership's
interest in the respective Local Partnership.  There is no assurance that the
underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and equity to enable the
Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and accrued interest when
due.  If a purchase money note is not paid in accordance with its terms, the
Partnership will either have to renegotiate the terms of repayment or risk
losing its partnership interest in the Local Partnership.  The Partnership's
inability to pay certain of the purchase money note principal and accrued
interest balances when due, and the resulting uncertainty regarding the
Partnership's continued ownership interest in the related Local Partnerships,
does not impact the Partnership's financial condition because the purchase money
notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the
related Local Partnerships.  Therefore, should the investment in any of the
Local Partnerships with maturing purchase money notes not produce sufficient
value to satisfy the related purchase money notes, the Partnership's exposure to
loss is limited because the amount of the nonrecourse indebtedness of each of
the maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment

in and advances to the related Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss
of one of these Local Partnerships would not have a material impact on the
financial condition of the Partnership.

     The Managing General Partner is continuing to investigate possible
alternatives to reduce the Partnership's debt obligations.  These alternatives
include, among others, retaining the cash available for distribution to meet the
purchase money note requirements, buying out certain purchase money notes at a
discounted price, extending the due dates of certain purchase money notes, or
refinancing the respective properties' underlying debt and using the
Partnership's share of the proceeds to pay or buy down certain purchase money
note obligations.  See the notes to the financial statements for alternatives
relating to specific properties.

     The Partnership has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the
fair value of the purchase money notes, either individually or in the aggregate,
due to:  (1) the lack of an active market for this type of financial instrument,
(2) the variable nature of purchase money note interest payments as a result of
fluctuating cash flow distributions received from the related Local
Partnerships, and (3) the excessive costs associated with an independent
appraisal of the purchase money notes.

     The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements. 
In 1997, 1996 and 1995, the receipt of distributions from Local Partnerships was
adequate to support operating cash requirements.  Cash and cash equivalents
decreased during 1997 primarily due to the pay off of the Frederick Heights
purchase money notes, as discussed in the notes to the financial statements.

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

1997 versus 1996
- ----------------

     The Partnership's net income decreased in 1997 from 1996 primarily due to
the extraordinary gain from extinguishment of debt related to the Tanglewood I
sale and the Frederick Heights purchase money note pay off during 1996. 
Contributing to the decrease in the Partnership's net income was the gain on
disposition of investment in partnership related to the Tanglewood I sale during
1996.  Partially offsetting the decrease in the Partnership's net income was an
increase in share of income primarily due to losses recorded by the Partnership
in 1996 related to Tanglewood I which were not recorded in 1997 due to the sale
of the property during 1996.  Also partially offsetting the decrease in the
Partnership's net income was a decrease in interest expense due to the pay off
of the Frederick Heights and Tanglewood I purchase money notes.  See the notes
to the financial statements for further information pertaining to the Tanglewood
I sale and the Frederick Heights purchase money note pay off.

1996 versus 1995
- ----------------

     The Partnership's net income increased in 1996 from 1995 principally due to
the extraordinary gain from extinguishment of debt related to the Tanglewood I
sale and the Frederick Heights purchase money note pay off during 1996, and the

gain on disposition of investment in partnership related to the sale of
Tanglewood I during 1996.  Contributing to the increase in the Partnership's net
income was an increase in share of income from partnerships primarily as a
result of one property's accumulated losses exceeding the Partnership's basis in
the related investment in that Local Partnership during 1995; the Partnership
does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in excess of its investment,
as discussed below.  Also contributing to the increase in the Partnership's net
income was the extraordinary gain from the extinguishment of a portion of the
Frederick Heights purchase money notes.  See the notes to the financial
statements for further information pertaining to the Tanglewood I sale and the
Frederick Heights purchase money note pay off.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As
a result, the Partnership's recognized losses for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 did not include losses of $782,889, $880,989 and $526,346,
respectively.   The Partnership's net loss recognized from the Local
Partnerships is generally expected to decrease in subsequent years as the
Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships are reduced to zero. 
Accordingly, excludable losses are generally expected to increase. 
Distributions of $184,541, $214,060 and $248,578, received from seven, nine and
nine Local Partnerships, during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were offset
against the respective years' recorded losses because these amounts were in
excess of the Partnership's investment.

                                    Inflation
                                    ---------

     Inflation allows for increases in rental rates, usually offsetting any
higher operating and replacement costs.  Furthermore, inflation generally does
not impact the fixed rate long-term financing under which the Partnership's real
property investments were purchased.  Future inflation could allow for
appreciated values of the Local Partnerships' properties over an extended period
of time as rental revenues and replacement values gradually increase.

     The following table reflects the combined rental revenues of the properties
for the five years ended December 31, 1997.  Combined rental revenue amounts for
years prior to 1997 have been adjusted to reflect property sales in 1996, as
discussed in the notes to the financial statements.

                            ------------------------


     The Year 2000 ("Y2K") computer issue refers to the inability of many
computer systems in use today to recognize "00" in the date field as the year
2000 and to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.  The Y2K problem arose
because, for many years, computer software programs, including programs embedded
in hardware, utilized only the last two digits to specify the year with the
assumption that the first two digits were "19."  As a result, such programs may
not be able to recognize and process dates beyond 1999; rather they may
recognize and process "00," "01," "02,", etc., incorrectly as 1900, 1901, 1902,
instead of as 2000, 2001, 2002.  In the opinion of computer experts, this could
cause such programs to create erroneous results, malfunction, or fail completely
unless corrective measures are taken.

     The Partnership utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that will be affected by the Y2K issue.  The
Managing General Partner is studying what actions will be necessary to make its
computer systems Y2K compliant; certain upgrades are already scheduled.  The
expense associated with these actions cannot presently be determined, but the
Managing General Partner does not expect it to be material.

To the Partners
Capital Realty Investors, Ltd.

     We have audited the balance sheets of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (a
District of Columbia limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We did not audit the financial statements of certain Local
Partnerships.  The Partnership's share of income or loss from these Local
Partnerships constitutes $497,570 of income in 1997, $213,684 of income in 1996
and $143,055 of losses in 1995 included in the Partnership's net income or loss.
The financial statements of these Local Partnerships were audited by other
auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion
expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these Local
Partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Organization
          ------------

          Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) was formed under the
     District of Columbia Limited Partnership Act on June 1, 1981 and shall
     continue until December 31, 2030 unless sooner dissolved in accordance with
     the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership was formed to invest in real
     estate by acquiring and holding a limited partnership interest in limited
     partnerships (Local Partnerships) which own and operate federal or state
     government-
     assisted or conventionally financed apartment properties located throughout
     the United States, which provide housing principally to the elderly or to
     individuals and families of low or moderate income.

          The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which
     is the Managing General Partner, current and former shareholders of CRI and
     Rockville Pike Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership which
     includes the shareholders of CRI and certain officers and former employees
     of CRI.

          The Partnership sold 24,837 units at $1,000 per unit of Limited
     Partnership Interest through a public offering.  The offering period was
     terminated on December 31, 1982.

     b.   Method of accounting
          --------------------

          The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the
     accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles.

     c.   Investments in and advances to partnerships
          -------------------------------------------

          The investments in and advances to Local Partnerships (see Note 2) are
     accounted for by the equity method because the Partnership is a limited
     partner in the Local Partnerships.  Under this method, the carrying amount
     of the investments in and advances to Local Partnerships is (i) reduced by
     distributions received and (ii) increased or reduced by the Partnership's
     share of earnings or losses, respectively, of the Local Partnerships.  As
     of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses
     of twelve and eleven, respectively, of the Local Partnerships exceeds the
     amount of the Partnership's investment in and advances to those Local
     Partnerships by $8,377,985 and $7,595,096, respectively.  Since the
     Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing
     to these Local Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in
     the accompanying financial statements.  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
     cumulative cash distributions of $2,451,313 and $2,266,772, respectively,
     have been received from the Local Partnerships for which the Partnership's
     carrying value is zero.  These distributions are recorded as increases in
     the Partnership's share of income from partnerships.

          Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have
     been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method
     over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local
     Partnerships.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     d.   Cash and cash equivalents
          -------------------------

          Cash and cash equivalents consist of all money market funds, time and
     demand deposits, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and certificates
     of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.

     e.   Offering costs
          --------------

          The Partnership incurred certain costs in connection with the offering
     and selling of limited partnership interests.  Such costs were recorded as
     a reduction of partners' capital when incurred.

     f.   Income taxes
          ------------

          For federal and state income tax purposes, each partner reports on his
     or her personal income tax return his or her share of the Partnership's
     income or loss as determined for tax purposes.  Accordingly, no provision
     (credit) has been made for income taxes in these financial statements.

     g.   Use of estimates
          ----------------

          In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles, the Partnership is required to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements, and of revenues and expenses during the
     reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     h.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
          -----------------------------------

          The financial statements include estimated fair value  information as
     of December 31, 1997, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards (SFAS) No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
     Instruments."  Such information, which pertains to the Partnership's
     financial instruments (primarily cash and cash equivalents and purchase
     money notes), is based on the requirements set forth in SFAS No. 107 and
     does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the
     Partnership.

          The balance sheet carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents
     approximate estimated fair values of such assets.

          The Partnership has determined that it is not practicable to estimate
     the fair value of the purchase money notes, either individually or in the
     aggregate, due to:  (1) the lack of an active market for this type of
     financial instrument,  (2) the variable nature of purchase money note
     interest payments as a result of fluctuating cash flow distributions
     received from the related Local Partnerships, and (3) the excessive costs
     associated with an independent appraisal of the purchase money notes.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

     a.   Due on investments in partnerships
          ----------------------------------

          As of both December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership held limited
     partnership interests in seventeen Local Partnerships which were organized
     to develop, construct, own, maintain and operate rental apartment
     properties which provide housing principally to the elderly and to
     individuals and families of low or moderate income.  The remaining
     principal amounts due on investments in the Local Partnerships were as
     follows.

                                     ==========     ==========
</TABLE>

          The purchase money notes have stated interest rates ranging from 7.25%
     to 11.10%.  The purchase money notes are payable upon the earliest of: (1)
     sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's rental property;
     (2) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's permanent loan;
     or (3) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of
     $500,000 matured on January 1, 1997 and were paid off.  Purchase money
     notes in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000 matured on January 1,
     1997, and have not yet been paid or extended.  The remaining purchase money
     notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,778,800 mature on June 1,
     1998.  Each of these purchase money notes is discussed in further detail
     below.

          The purchase money notes are generally secured by the Partnership's
     interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  There is no assurance that
     the underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and equity to
     enable the Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and
     accrued interest when due.  If a purchase money note is not paid in
     accordance with its terms, the Partnership will either have to renegotiate
     the terms of repayment or risk losing its partnership interest in the Local
     Partnership.  The Partnership's inability to pay certain of the purchase
     money note principal and accrued interest balances when due, and the
     resulting uncertainty regarding the Partnership's continued ownership
     interest of the related Local Partnerships, does not impact the
     Partnership's financial condition because the purchase money notes are
     nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the related
     Local Partnerships.  Therefore, should the investment in any of the Local
     Partnerships with maturing purchase money notes not produce sufficient
     value to satisfy the related purchase money notes, the Partnership's
     exposure to loss is limited because the amount of the nonrecourse
     indebtedness of each of the maturing purchase money notes exceeds the
     carrying amount of the investment in and advances to the related Local

     Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of one of these Local
     Partnerships would not have a material impact on the financial condition of
     the Partnership.

          Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the
     years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $470,189, $617,759 and
     $665,545, respectively.  The accrued interest on the purchase money notes
     of $6,723,580 and $6,370,958, as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively, is due on the respective maturity dates of the purchase money
     notes or earlier if the Local Partnerships have distributable net cash
     flow, as defined in the relevant Local Partnership agreements.

                                Frederick Heights
                                -----------------

          On August 30, 1996, the Partnership paid off one of the purchase money
     notes in the principal amount of $150,000 relating to Frederick Heights
     Limited Partnership (Frederick Heights) at a discount, resulting in a gain
     on extinguishment of debt of $18,224.  The remaining purchase money notes
     related to Frederick Heights in the aggregate principal and accrued
     interest amount of $500,000 and $117,567, respectively, matured and were
     paid-off on January 1, 1997.  These notes were paid off at their carrying
     value, and thus the Partnership did not recognize a gain or loss on the
     extinguishment of the debt.

                                Frenchman's Wharf
                                -----------------

          The purchase money notes related to Lake Properties Limited
     Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I) in the principal amount of $3,778,800,
     which were initially due to mature on June 1, 1988, have been extended to
     mature on June 1, 1998.  In conjunction with the four-year workout
     agreement on the Local Partnership's mortgage loan, the Partnership is
     currently negotiating with the purchase money noteholders to reach an
     extension agreement which would be coterminous with the expiration of the
     workout arrangement.  As of March 19, 1998, the noteholders had not given
     consent to an extension agreement.  There is no assurance that any
     agreement will be reached with the noteholders.  As such, there is no
     assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in
     Frenchman's Wharf I after June 1, 1998.  The uncertainty regarding the
     continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Frenchman's Wharf I
     does not impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.

                                Shallowford Oaks
                                ----------------

          The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to ARA
     Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks) on January 1, 1997 when the
     note matured and was not paid.  The default amount included principal and
     accrued interest of $700,000 and $761,389, respectively.  As of March 19,
     1998, principal and accrued interest totaling $700,000 and $898,188,
     respectively, were due.  The Managing General Partner has proposed to
     extend the note until November 2001, coterminous with the maturity of the
     Local Partnership's provisional workout agreement on its mortgage loan, and
     as of March 19, 1998, the Managing General Partner is awaiting a response
     from the purchase money noteholder.  There is no assurance that any
     agreement will be reached with the noteholder.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS - Continued

          In addition, the lender associated with the Shallowford Oaks mortgage
     loan filed notice on November 3, 1997 accelerating the Local Partnership's
     mortgage loan and demanding payment in full due to a purported nonmonetary
     default of the provisional workout agreement.  The Managing General Partner
     and the local managing general partner are disputing this foreclosure
     notice and a hearing has been scheduled for April 20, 1998.  In the
     interim, a temporary restraining order has been granted which suspends the
     foreclosure action until the hearing.  The Managing General Partner and the
     local managing general partner intend to vigorously contest the foreclosure
     action and have hired an independent accounting firm to perform a
     compliance audit.  As of March 19, 1998, the compliance audit has not yet
     been completed.

          Due to the uncertainties regarding the outcome of an extension of the
     purchase money notes and/or the foreclosure proceedings on the Local
     Partnership's mortgage loan, there is no assurance that the Partnership
     will be able to retain its interest in Shallowford Oaks.  The uncertainty
     regarding the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in
     Shallowford Oaks does not impact the Partnership's financial condition, as
     discussed above.

                                  Tanglewood I
                                  ------------

          In conjunction with the sale of the property, on September 19, 1996,
     the Partnership paid off the purchase money note relating to Tanglewood
     Apartments Associates I (Tanglewood I) at a discount, as discussed below.

     b.   Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions
          ---------------------------------------------------
               made by Local Partnerships
               --------------------------

          The Partnership has a 74.99% to 98.99% interest in profits, losses and
     cash distributions (as restricted by various federal and state housing
     agencies) of each Local Partnership.  An affiliate of the General Partners
     of the Partnership is also a general partner of each Local Partnership. The
     Partnership received cash distributions from the rental operations of the
     Local Partnerships totaling $492,235, $381,770 and $434,022 during the
     years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As of both
     December 31, 1997 and 1996, twelve of the Local Partnerships had surplus
     cash, as defined by their respective agencies, in the amount of $2,539,150
     and $2,133,429, respectively, which may be available for distribution in
     accordance with their respective agencies' regulations.

          The cash distributions to the Partnership from the operations of the
     rental properties may be limited by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
     Development (HUD) regulations. Such regulations limit annual cash
     distributions to a percentage of the owner's equity investment in a rental
     property.  Funds in excess of those which may be distributed to owners are
     required to be placed in a residual receipts account held by the governing
     state or federal agency for the benefit of the property.

          Upon sale or refinancing of a property owned by a Local Partnership,
     or upon the liquidation of a Local Partnership, the proceeds from such
     sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with
     the respective provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership

     agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would
     receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any
     remaining proceeds, after payment of (1) all debts and liabilities of the
     Local Partnership and certain other items, (2) the Partnership's capital
     contributions plus certain specified amounts as outlined in each
     partnership agreement, and (3) certain special distributions to general
     partners and related entities of the Local Partnership.

          In 1989, the Partnership funded a certificate of deposit in the amount
     of $189,000, which was used to collateralize a letter of credit which
     served as supplemental collateral for Sencit Baltic Associates' (Baltic
     Plaza) mortgage loan.  As of March 28, 1996, Baltic Plaza was no longer
     required to provide supplemental collateral for its mortgage loan, and the
     letter of credit was subsequently cancelled.  On March 18, 1997, the
     certificate of deposit matured.

                               Frenchman's Wharf I
                               -------------------

          To cover operating deficits incurred in prior years for Frenchman's
     Wharf I, the Partnership advanced funds totaling $305,398 as of both
     December 31, 1997 and 1996.  No advances have been made to Frenchman's
     Wharf I since March 1987, and the Partnership does not expect to advance
     any additional funds to the Local Partnership.  These loans, together with
     accrued interest of $183,102 as of both December 31, 1997 and 1996, are

     payable from cash flow of Frenchman's Wharf I after payment of first
     mortgage debt service and after satisfaction by the Partnership of certain
     other interest obligations on the purchase money notes relating to the
     Local Partnership.  No interest has been accrued since 1992 due to the
     uncertainty of future collection.  There is no assurance that the Local
     Partnership, upon expiration of the workout, will be able to repay the
     loans in accordance with the terms thereof.  For financial reporting
     purposes, these loans have been reduced to zero by the Partnership as a
     result of losses from the Local Partnership during prior years.

          The lender associated with Frenchman's Wharf I's mortgage loan has
     requested an operational audit.  The local managing general partner and the
     Managing General Partner are of the opinion that the lender does not have
     the legal right to perform such an audit under the terms of the Local
     Partnership's loan documents.  No agreement has been reached as of March
     19, 1998.

          The report of the auditors on the financial statements of Frenchman's
     Wharf I for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 indicated that
     substantial doubt exists about the ability of the Local Partnership to
     continue as a going concern due to the Local Partnership's default on its
     mortgage and the expiration of its Section 8 Rental Housing Assistance
     Payments (HAP) contract with HUD on November 30, 1998.  The uncertainty
     about the Local Partnership's continued ownership of the property does not
     impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above. 

                                Shallowford Oaks
                                ----------------

          On November 23, 1994, the Partnership advanced $72,195 to Shallowford
     Oaks to help repay the Local Partnership's outstanding obligations related
     to its mortgage loan.  This loan, along with accrued interest of $15,989
     and $12,921 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, is payable from
     cash flow of Shallowford Oaks after payment of first mortgage debt service
     and after satisfaction by the Partnership of certain other interest
     obligations on the related purchase money note.  As the Partnership
     currently is in default on the purchase money note related to Shallowford
     Oaks, as discussed above, it is unlikely that the Partnership will receive
     any repayment of the loan.  For financial reporting purposes, these loans
     have been reduced to zero by the Partnership as a result of losses from the
     Local Partnership during prior years.

                                  Tanglewood I
                                  ------------

          On September 19, 1996, Tanglewood I, a 192-unit apartment complex
     located in Westwego, Louisiana was sold.  The sale of the property
     generated net cash proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $904,000 at
     closing.  The proceeds were net of funds used to retire, at a discount, the
     Partnership's purchase money note obligation with respect to the property. 
     The sale resulted in a net financial statement gain of approximately $2.731
     million, of which approximately $1.429 million resulted from the retirement
     of the purchase money note obligation with respect to the property.  The
     federal tax gain was approximately $4.454 million.

     d.   Affordable housing legislation
          ------------------------------

          President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 1998 HUD appropriations bill
     into law, effective October 1, 1997.  The new legislation allows all
     Section 8 contracts with rents at (or reduced to) less than 120% of fair
     market rents which expire between now and September 1998 to be renewed for
     one year.  At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1999 (October 1, 1998), all
     expiring contracts with rents exceeding comparable market rents and whose
     mortgages are insured by FHA will be subject to the Mark-to-Market
     legislation.

          Mark-to-Market implementation will reduce rental income at properties
     which are currently subsidized at higher-than-market rental rates, and will
     therefore lower cash flow available to meet mortgage payments and operating
     expenses.  Each affected property will undergo debt restructuring according
     to terms determined by an individual property and operations evaluation. 
     This will involve reducing the first mortgage loan balance to an amount
     supportable by the property, taking into account the property's operating
     expenses and reduced income.  The balance of the amount written down from
     the first mortgage will be converted to a non-performing but accruing
     (soft) second mortgage.  The Section 8 HAP contracts for the following
     property expires during the government's fiscal year 1998.

          With the uncertainty of continued project-based Section 8 subsidies
     for properties with expiring HAP contracts, there is no assurance that
     these rental properties will be able to maintain the rental income and
     occupancy levels necessary to pay operating costs and debt service.  It is
     difficult to predict the impact on the Local Partnerships and the resulting
     impact on the Partnership at this time.

          The above rental property and partners' capital (deficit) amounts
     include $1,700,000 of the Partnership's purchase money notes payable which
     were issued to partners of the Local Partnerships and $4,123,844 of
     purchase price paid by the Partnership which had not been recorded in the

          For federal income tax purposes, the Local Partnerships report on a
     basis whereby:  (1) certain revenue and the related assets are recorded
     when received rather than when earned; (2) certain costs are expensed when
     paid or incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over the period of
     benefit; and (3) a shorter life is used to compute depreciation on the
     property as permitted by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Regulations.  These
     returns are subject to examination and, therefore, possible adjustment by
     the IRS.

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid the
Managing General Partner a fee for services in connection with the review,
selection, evaluation, negotiation and acquisition of the interests in the Local
Partnerships.  The fee amounted to $993,480 which is equal to 4% of the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Partnership. The acquisition fee was
capitalized and is being amortized over a forty-year period using the
straight-line method.

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in managing the Partnership.  For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, the Partnership paid $62,933, $71,142 and $58,095, respectively, as direct
reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  Such expenses
are included in the accompanying statements of operations as general and
administrative expenses.

     In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the
Partnership is obligated to pay the Managing General Partner an annual incentive
management fee (the Management Fee), after all other expenses of the Partnership
are paid.  The amount of the Management Fee shall be equal to .25% of invested
assets, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and shall be payable from the
Partnership's cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, as of the end of each calendar year, as follows:

     a.   First, on a monthly basis as an operating expense before any
          distributions to limited partners in an annual amount equal to
          $95,208; and

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS - Continued

     b.   Second, after distributions to the limited partners in the amount of
          1% of the gross proceeds of the offering, the balance of such .25% of
          invested assets.

     For each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Part-
nership paid the Managing General Partner a Management Fee of $95,208.

     The Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates may receive a fee of not
more than 2% of the sales price of an investment in a Local Partnership or the
property it owns, payable under certain conditions upon the sale of an
investment in a Local Partnership or the property its owns.  The payment of the
fee is subject to certain restrictions, including the achievement of a certain
level of sales proceeds and making certain minimum distributions to limited
partners.  No such amounts were paid to the Managing General Partner and/or its
affiliates during 1997, 1996 and 1995.


4.   PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     All profits and losses are allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to
the General Partners.  The net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the
Partnership or the Partnership's share of the net proceeds from any sale or
refinancing of the projects or their rental properties which are not reinvested
shall be distributed and applied as follows:

       (i)     to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership
               (including all expenses of the Partnership incident to the sale
               or refinancing) other than loans or other debts and liabilities
               of the Partnership to any partner or any affiliate; such debts
               and liabilities, in the case of a non-liquidating distribution,
               to be only those which are then required to be paid or, in the
               judgment of the Managing General Partner, required to be provided
               for;
      (ii)     to the establishment of any reserves which the Managing General
               Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or
               unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
     (iii)     to the limited partners in the amount of their capital
               contributions without deduction for prior cash distributions
               other than prior distributions of proceeds from any sale or
               refinancing;
      (iv)     to the repayment of any unrepaid loans theretofore made by any
               partner or any affiliate to the Partnership for Partnership
               obligations and to the payment of any unpaid amounts owing to the
               General Partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;
       (v)     to the General Partners in the amount of their capital
               contributions;
      (vi)     thereafter, for their services to the Partnership, in equal
               shares to certain general partners (or their designees), whether
               or not any is then a general partner, an aggregate fee of 1% of
               the gross proceeds resulting from (A) such sale (if the proceeds
               are from a sale rather than a refinancing) and (B) any prior
               sales from which such 1% fee was not paid to the General Partners
               or their designees and,
     (vii)     the remainder, 15% to the General Partners (or their assignees)
               and 85% to the limited partners (or their assignees).

4.   PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS - Continued

     Fees payable to certain general partners (or their designees) under (vi)
above, together with all other property disposition fees and any other
commissions or fees payable upon the sale of apartment properties, shall not in
the aggregate exceed the lesser of the competitive rate or 6% of the sales price
of the apartment properties.

     In addition, the Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates may receive
a fee in an amount of not more than 2% of the sales price of the investment in a
Local Partnership or the property it owns.  The fee would only be payable upon
the sale of the investment in a Local Partnership or the property it owns and
would be subject to certain restrictions, including achievement of a certain
level of sales proceeds and making certain minimum distributions to limited
partners.  No such amounts were paid to the Managing General Partner and/or its
affiliates during 1997, 1996 and 1995.

     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all cash available for distribution,
as defined, shall be distributed, not less frequently than annually, 97% to the
limited partners and 3% to the General Partners after payment of the Management
Fee (see Note 3), as specified in the Partnership Agreement.  As defined in the
Partnership Agreement, prior to the establishment of any reserves deemed
necessary by the Managing General Partner and after payment of the Management
Fee, the Partnership had cash available for distribution of approximately $0,
$218,000 and $298,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. 

     On October 31, 1996, the Partnership distributed $484,073 ($19.49 per
Limited Partnership unit) to the Limited Partners as a result of the sale of
Tanglewood I.  No distributions were declared or paid by the Partnership during
1997 or 1995.  The Managing General Partner intends to retain all of the
Partnership's remaining undistributed net sale proceeds for the possible
repayment, prepayment or purchase of the Partnership's outstanding purchase
money notes related to other Local Partnerships.


5.   RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT NET
       INCOME (LOSS) TO TAXABLE (LOSS) INCOME 

     For federal income tax purposes, the Partnership reports on a basis
whereby:  (1) certain expenses are amortized rather than expensed when incurred;
(2) certain costs are amortized over a shorter period for tax purposes, as
permitted by IRS Regulations, and (3) certain costs are amortized over a longer
period for tax purposes.  The Partnership records its share of losses from its
investments in limited partnerships for federal income tax purposes as reported
on the Local Partnerships' federal income tax returns (see Note 2g), including
losses in excess of related investment amounts.  These returns are subject to
audit and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.

     A reconciliation of the Partnership's financial statement net income (loss)
to taxable (loss) income follows.

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd.


     In connection with our audits of the financial statements of Capital Realty
Investors, Ltd. referred to in our report dated March 19, 1998, which is
included in this Form 10-K, we have also audited Schedule III as of December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995.  We did not audit the financial statements for certain of
the Local Partnerships in 1997, 1996 and 1995, which are accounted for as
described in Note 1c.  In our opinion, this schedule presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be set forth therein.
