2.	Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)

The Managing General Partner of Overland Station Investment Company sold
the property on January 12, 1995.  From the sale, the Partnership has
recognized $3,049,335 of equity in income.  This amount was offset by
the recognition of $18,627 of previously unrecognized equity in losses.
Also, as a result of the sale, the Partnership has recognized a loss on
the sale of Overland Station in the amount of $1,803,196.  This amount
represents the Local Limited Partnership's net book value on the
Partnership's books.

The Partnership received sales proceeds in the amount of $1,227,512.
The Partnership used a portion of the sales proceeds to pay down
$577,512 of an acquisition note payable and accrued interest which
totaled $685,842.  The $108,821 balance of these obligations has been
forgiven and is recorded as such on the Partnership's financial
statements.  The Partnership has distributed the balance of the sales
proceeds plus accrued interest in the amount of $657,450.  This
distribution represents a return of a portion of the Partnership's
original cash investment in Overland Station.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1995, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$184,637 compared with $350,435 at December 31, 1994.  The $165,798
decrease in cash and cash equivalents is partly a result of cash
distributions paid to limited partners of $657,450 in excess of cash
distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships of $217,008, and
cash flow from operations.

The Managing General Partner of Overland Station Investment Company sold
the property on January 12, 1995.  From the sale, the Partnership has
recognized $3,049,335 of equity in income.  This amount was offset by
the recognition of $18,627 of previously unrecognized equity in losses.
Also, as a result of the sale, the Partnership has recognized a loss on
the sale of Overland Station in the amount of $1,803,196.  This amount
represents the Local Limited Partnership's net book value on the
Partnership's books.

The Partnership received sales proceeds in the amount of $1,227,512.
The Partnership used a portion of the sales proceeds to pay down
$577,512 of an acquisition note payable and accrued interest which
totaled $685,842.  The $108,821 balance of the obligations has been
forgiven and is recorded as such on the Partnership's financial
statements.  The Partnership has distributed the balance of the sales
proceeds plus accrued interest in the amount of $657,450.  This
distribution represents a return of a portion of the Partnership's
original cash investment in Overland Station.

At June 30, 1995, approximately $1,066,000 has been reserved and is
invested in various securities.  The reserves as defined in the
Partnership Agreement were established to be used for working capital of
the Partnership and contingencies related to the ownership of Local
Limited Partnership interests.  Reserves may be used to fund Partnership
operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding
appropriate in order to protect its investment.

As of June 30, 1995, investment in Local Limited Partnerships decreased
to zero from $68,515 at December 31, 1994.  This decrease is
attributable to equity in losses and cash distributions, net of
distribution income from the Local Limited Partnerships.

The General Partner is currently attempting to negotiate an extension
with the lender of the Oakdale Manor note payable which was due on April
1, 1995.  However, no assurances can be made that the Partnership will
be able to negotiate an extension on terms acceptable to both parties.
If the General Partner is unable to negotiate an extension, it is
prepared to relinquish its limited partnership interest in  Oakdale to
the lender.  If the Partnership does relinquish its interest in Oakdale,
there will be no effect to the Partnership's financial statements.

Since the Partnership has invested as a limited partner in all Local
Limited Partnerships, it has no contractual duty to provide additional
funds to Local Limited Partnerships beyond its specified investment.  At
June 30, 1995, it did not have any contractual or other obligation to
any Local Limited Partnership which had not been paid or provided for.

Future cash distributions will be derived almost exclusively from
distributions of net cash provided by operations of the Local Limited
Partnerships.  Such cash is not expected to be significant in 1995, and
therefore, there is no assurance that adequate cash will be available to
warrant cash distributions in future years.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's results of operations for the six months ended June
30, 1995 resulted in net income of $1,404,705 as compared to a net loss
of $64,432 for the same period in 1994.  The change to a net income
position is primarily attributable to equity in income and forgiveness
of indebtedness recognized by the Partnership as a

result of the Overland Station sale.  These amounts were partially
offset by a loss on sale in the amount of $1,803,196, which represented
the Local Limited Partnership's net book value on the Partnership's
books.

The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended June
30, 1995 resulted in a net income of $53,216 as compared to a net loss
of $23,695 for the same period in 1994. The change to a net income
position is primarily attributable to an increase in distribution income
received from Local Limited Partnerships whose investment balances were
zero and a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships
for the comparable three month periods.  The decrease in equity in
losses of Local Limited Partnerships is the result of the carrying
value of the investments in all Local Limited Partnerships being equal
to zero for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  To the extent that
equity in losses are incurred when the Partnership's carrying value of
the respective Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to a zero
balance, the losses are suspended and will be offset against future
income.

Property Discussions

HUD has a new program to sell all performing and non-performing
mortgages in a public auction process that is scheduled to take place on
a region-by-region basis over the next few years.  The mortgages of
Woodmeade South Apartments and Mountain View Apartments were included in
the South East Region auction during the first quarter of 1995.  The
continued feasibility of these properties may depend on the ability of
the local general partner or the Partnership or their respective
affiliates to purchase the mortgages or to negotiate a satisfactory
arrangement with the buyer.  The mortgages of the Oakdale Manor, Woods
of Castleton, and Chelsea Village may be included in a future auction.

The local general partner of Woodmeade South Apartments and Mountain
View Apartments reported that it filed for bankruptcy protection for
these two properties during the first quarter of 1995.  These bankruptcy
filings appear to be related to the above described HUD mortgage
auctions.  It is not currently clear whether these bankruptcy filings
will have any adverse impact on the two local limited partnerships.
These filings will not result in a material loss for the Partnership
since the Partnership's carrying value of these investments is zero.

Buttonwood Tree Apartments, located in Wichita, Kansas, continues to be
affected by a weakened rental market with occupancy at approximately 83%
resulting in an operating deficit for the second quarter of 1995.  The
Local General Partner is looking at alternatives to increase occupancy.

Woodbridge Apartments II, located in Bloomington, Indiana, has been
operating at a deficit.  The property refinanced its mortgage with HUD
in 1994 which resulted in a reduction of the interest rate to 8.75% from
9.75%. As of June 30, 1995, the property was 93% occupied.

Youngstoun Apartments II, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, completed the
refinancing of its mortgage in late 1992.  The lower interest rate
obtained through the refinancing has allowed the property to operate
above break-even in the past; however, the property has experienced a
low level of occupancy through the second quarter of 1995 resulting in
an operating deficit.

Pheasant Ridge, located in Moline, Illinois, continues to experience
strong occupancy and operated above break-even for the second quarter of
1995.

Property Discussions (continued)

Bear Creek Apartments in Asheville, North Carolina, Park Hill Apartments
in Lexington, Kentucky and Westpark Plaza in Chico, California have
generated steady cash flows and have made distributions of excess cash
in past years.  These properties continue to operate satisfactorily and
management believes they will continue to distribute cash to the
Partnership, although no assurance can be given in this regard.


Property Dispositions 

The Managing General Partner of Overland Station Investment Company sold
the property on January 12, 1995.  See Note 2 in the Financial
