                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1995

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       GENERAL

       The information contained in the following notes to the financial
       statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
       audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
       included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
       statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for
       the year ended December 31, 1994 filed by Real Estate Associates Limited
       IV (the "Partnership").  National Partnership Investments Corp.
       ("NAPICO") is the corporate general partner of the Partnership.
       Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater
       reliance on estimates than at year end.  The results of operations for
       the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the
       results for the entire year.

       In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial
       statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
       recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
       as of June 30, 1995 and the results of operations and changes in cash
       flow for the six months then ended.

       METHOD ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

       The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity
       method.  Acquisition and selection fees and other costs related to the
       acquisition of the projects have been capitalized as part of the
       investment account.

       CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

       Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
       deposit with an original maturity of three months or less.

       SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

       Short term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit with
       original maturities ranging from more than three months to twelve
       months.  The fair value of these securities, which have been classified
       as held for sale, approximates their carrying value.

       INCOME TAXES

       No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
       financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
       individual partners.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

       The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in twenty-two
       limited partnerships.  In addition, the Partnership holds a general
       partner interest in REA II.  NAPICO is also a general partner in REA II.
       REA

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1995


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)

       II, in turn, holds limited partner interests in seven additional limited
       partnerships.  In total, therefore, the Partnership holds interests,
       either directly or indirectly through REA II, in twenty-nine
       partnerships which own residential rental projects consisting of 2,783
       apartment units.  The mortgage loans of these projects are insured by
       various governmental agencies.

       The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to between 80 percent
       and 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships it
       has invested in directly.  The Partnership is also entitled to 99.9
       percent of the profits and losses of REA II.  REA II is entitled to a 99
       percent interest in each of the limited partnerships in which it has
       invested.

       Equity in loss of the limited partnerships is recognized until the
       investment balance is reduced to zero.  Losses incurred after the
       limited partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not
       recognized.

       Distributions from the limited partnerships are accounted for as a
       return of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero or to
       a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required.
       Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

       Certain of the Partnership's investments involved purchases of
       partnership interest from partners who subsequently withdrew from the
       operating partnership.  The Partnership is obligated on non-recourse
       notes payable of $1,230,743 bearing interest at 10 percent, to the
       sellers of the partnership interests.  The notes and the related
       interest are payable by the Partnership through REA II, and have
       principal maturity dates ranging from 2015 to 2022 or upon sale or
       refinancing of the underlying partnership properties.  The notes are
       collateralized by REA II's investment in the respective limited
       partnerships and are payable only out of cash distributions from the
       investee partnerships as defined in the notes.  Unpaid interest is due
       at maturity of the notes.

       The following is a summary of the investment in limited partnerships as
       of June 30, 1995:

        NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner and property
        management agent for certain of the limited partnerships included
        above.

NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEE AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER

       Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
       Partners, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual
       management fee equal to .4% of the invested assets of the limited
       partnerships.  Invested assets are defined as the costs of acquiring
       project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage
       loans related to the Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of
       the respective partnerships.  The fee was $252,696 for the six months
       ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

       The partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses.  In 1995, the
       reimbursement to NAPICO of $10,668 has been paid and included in the
       Partnership's operating expenses.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

       The corporate general partner of the partnership is a plaintiff in
       various lawsuits and has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits
       arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.  In the
       opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the claims will
       not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income
       earned from investing available cash and distributions from limited
       partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  It is not expected
       that any of the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has
       invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions
       to limited partners in any material amount.

       The Partnership is obligated on notes payable of $1,230,743 bearing
       interest at 10 percent, payable at maturity dates ranging from 2015 to
       2022 or upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying partnership
       properties.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Partnership revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on
       certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not
       required for investment in local partnerships.

       Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and
       administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to
       the Partnership.  In addition, an annual Partnership management fee in
       an amount equal to .5 percent of investment assets is payable to the
       corporate general partner.

       The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited
       partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment
       balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local
       limited partnerships.  Losses incurred after the limited partnership
       investment balance is reduced to zero are not recognized.

       Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as
       return of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero
       or to a negative amount equal to future capital contributions required.
       Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

       Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds, the
       Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other limited
       partnerships owning government assisted projects.  Available cash not
       invested in Limited Partnerships is invested in these funds earning
       interest income as reflected in the statements of operations.  These
       money market funds and certificates of deposit can be converted to cash
       to meet obligations as they arise.  The Partnership intends to continue
       investing available funds in this manner.
