Item 1. Business
- ----------------

Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.- 82 (the "Registrant")  is a limited partnership
formed in 1981 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised
$74,133,000 from sales of  Limited Partnership Interests. The  Registrant has
retained cash  reserves from  the sale  of  its real  estate investments  for
contingencies  which  exist  or  may  arise.    The  Registrant's  operations
currently consist of interest income earned on short-term investments and the
payment of administrative expenses.

The Registrant utilized  the net offering  proceeds to acquire  fourteen real
property investments and has since disposed of all of these investments.  The
Partnership Agreement provides that  the proceeds of any  sale or refinancing
of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Registrant upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the  disposition of all interests
in real estate. During 1996, the Registrant sold two properties. During 1997,
the Registrant sold  its remaining property,  the Balcones  Woods Apartments.
The Registrant has retained a portion of the cash  from the property sales to
satisfy the obligations of the Registrant as well  as establish a reserve for
contingencies. The  timing of  the termination  of the  Registrant and  final
distribution of cash will  depend upon the  nature and extent  of liabilities
and contingencies which  exist or may  arise. Such contingencies  may include
legal and  other  fees  and  costs  stemming from  litigation  involving  the
Registrant including, but not limited  to, the lawsuit discussed  in "Item 3.
Legal Proceedings."  In the  absence of any such  contingencies, the reserves
will be paid  within twelve months  of the last  property being sold.  In the
event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the
Partnership for a longer period of time.

During March  1997, the  Registrant sold  the Balcones  Woods Apartments  for
$15,800,000. See  "Item 7.  Liquidity and  Capital Resources"  for additional
information. 

The Registrant  no  longer  has an  ownership  interest  in any  real  estate
investment.   The General  Partner is  not  aware of  any material  potential
liability relating  to  environmental  issues  or conditions  affecting  real
estate formerly owned by the Registrant.

The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XI, the  General Partner of the
Registrant, and  its  affiliates perform  services  for  the Registrant.  The
Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Item 2. Properties
- ------------------

As of December 31, 1997, the Registrant did not own any properties.

In the opinion of the  General Partner, the Registrant  has obtained adequate
insurance coverage.
<PAGE>
See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding former real
estate property investments.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------

Klein, et al. vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al.
- ----------------------------------------------

On August  30, 1996,  a proposed  class  action complaint  was filed,  Lenore
Klein, et  al. vs.  Lehman  Brothers, Inc.,  et  al. (Superior  Court of  New
Jersey, Law Division, Union County, Docket  No. Unn-L-5162-96). The complaint
was amended on  each of October  18, 1996, December  5, 1997 and  January 15,
1998. The Registrant, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by
The  Balcor   Company  (together   with  the   Registrant,  the   "Affiliated
Partnerships"),  The  Balcor   Company,  American  Express   Company,  Lehman
Brothers, Inc., Smith Barney, Inc., American  Express Financial Advisors, and
other affiliated entities and various individuals are named defendants in the
action.  The  most  recent  amended  complaint,   plaintiffs'  Third  Amended
Complaint,  alleges,  among  other  things,  common  law  fraud  and  deceit,
negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and
violation of  certain  New  Jersey statutes  relating  to  the disclosure  of
information  in  the  offering  of  limited   partnership  interests  in  the
Affiliated  Partnerships,  the  marketing  of  interests  in  the  Affiliated
Partnerships and  the  acquisition  of  real  properties for  the  Affiliated
Partnerships. The  Third Amended  Complaint seeks  judgment for  compensatory
damages equal to the  amount invested in  the Affiliated Partnerships  by the
proposed class plus interest;  general damages for injuries  arising from the
defendants' alleged  actions;  equitable  relief,  including  rescission,  on
certain counts; punitive damages; treble damages  on certain counts; recovery
from the defendants  of all  profits received by  them as  a result  of their
alleged actions relating to the Affiliated  Partnerships; attorneys' fees and
other costs.

The defendants intend to  vigorously contest this  action. No class  has been
certified as  of  this  date.  The  Registrant believes  it  has  meritorious
defenses to contest the claims.  It is not determinable at  this time whether
or not an unfavorable decision  in this action would have  a material adverse
impact on the Registrant.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- -----------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Registrant
during 1997.

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

Operations
- ----------

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------
<PAGE>
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (the "Partnership") recognized gains on sales
of properties during each of 1997,  1996 and 1995. These gains  resulted in a
decrease in net income  in 1997 as  compared to 1996  and an increase  in net
income in 1996 as compared  to 1995. Further discussion  of the Partnership's
operations is summarized below.

1997 Compared to 1996
- ---------------------

Rental and  service  income,  interest  expense  on mortgage  notes  payable,
depreciation expense, amortization  of deferred expenses,  property operating
expense, real estate  tax expense and  property management fees  decreased in
1997 as compared  to 1996 due  to the  sales of the  Songbird-Phases I  & II,
Eagles Pointe  and  Balcones Woods  apartment  complexes  in September  1996,
October 1996,  and  March  1997,  respectively.  During 1997  and  1996,  the
Partnership recognized gains in connection with these sales of $8,887,873 and
$12,521,440, respectively.

Higher average cash balances were available for investment in 1996 due to the
proceeds received  in  connection  with  the  1996 property  sales  prior  to
distribution to Limited  Partners. This  resulted in  a decrease  in interest
income on short-term investments during 1997 as compared to 1996.

The Partnership  recognized  other  income  during  1997 in  connection  with
refunds of prior years' insurance  premiums relating to  the Partnership's
properties.

In February  1996,  the  Partnership reached  a  settlement  with the  seller
regarding  the  original  purchase  of  the  Balcones  Woods  Apartments  and
recognized $216,750  of  settlement  income  relating  primarily  to  amounts
received from the seller under the management and guarantee agreement as well
as construction defects at the property.

The Partnership incurred legal, printing and  postage and investor processing
costs in connection with responses to tender offers during 1996. In addition,
portfolio management and  accounting fees  decreased during  1997 due  to the
sales of the Partnership's  properties. As a result,  administrative expenses
decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996. 

During 1997,  the Partnership  wrote-off the  remaining unamortized  deferred
expenses in  connection with  the sale  of the  Balcones Woods  Apartments of
$229,431.  During 1996,  the Partnership wrote-off the  remaining unamortized
deferred expenses in connection with the sales of  the Songbird-Phases I & II
and  the  Eagles   Pointe  apartment  complexes   of  $192,960   and  $2,969,
respectively. In  addition,  the  Partnership  paid  $423,933  in  prepayment
penalties in connection with the sale of the Eagles Pointe Apartments.  These
amounts were  recognized  as  extraordinary  items  and  classified  as  debt
extinguishment expense for financial statement purposes.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Rental and  service income,  depreciation expense,  amortization of  deferred
expenses and property management fees  decreased in 1996 as  compared to 1995
due to  the  sales of  the  Songbird-Phases  I &  II  and  the Eagles  Pointe
apartment complexes in September and October 1996, respectively.
<PAGE>
Interest income on  short-term investments decreased  in 1996 as  compared to
1995 due to lower  average cash balances available  for investments resulting
from the payment of special distributions to Limited Partners in 1995. 

As a  result of  the  February 1995  repayment  of the  Meridian Hills  Court
Apartments wrap-around note, interest  income on wrap-around  note receivable
ceased and interest expense  on mortgage notes payable  decreased during 1996
when compared  to 1995.  In addition,  the Partnership  recognized the  final
portion of the deferred gain  of $3,244,180 related to  this installment sale
during 1995. This  gain had been  deferred from  1986, when the  property had
been sold for a cash down payment plus the wrap-around note.  

Interest expense decreased in  1996 as compared to  1995 due to the  sales of
the Songbird-Phases I & II  and the Eagles Pointe  apartment complexes during
1996 and the  repayment of  the Meridian  Hills Court  Apartments wrap-around
note during 1995. 

As a  result  of the  sale  of two  properties  in  1996, property  operating
expenses decreased by approximately $289,000 during 1996 as compared to 1995.
This decrease was  partially offset by  an increase in  utilities, insurance,
payroll and  operating expenses  of  approximately $218,000  at the  Balcones
Woods and the Eagles Pointe apartment complexes.

Real estate tax  expense decreased  in 1996 as  compared to  1995 due  to the
sales of the Songbird-Phases I & II and the Eagles Pointe apartment complexes
by approximately $85,000. This  decrease was partially offset  by an increase
at the Balcones  Woods Apartments of  approximately $38,000 due  to increased
tax rates.

The Partnership  incurred legal,  consulting, printing  and postage  costs in
connection with responses to tender offers during 1995  and 1996. As a result
of higher fees incurred  by the Partnership in  1995, administrative expenses
decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $2,398,000 as
of December 31, 1997 when compared to December 31,  1996 primarily due to the
payment of distributions  to Limited  Partners in  1997, which  was partially
offset by net proceeds received  in connection with the sale  of the Balcones
Woods Apartments  in  1997.  Cash  of  approximately  $105,000  was  used  in
operating activities  to  pay  administrative  expenses which  was  partially
offset by  cash generated  from property  operations and  interest income  on
short-term  investments.   Cash   provided   by   investing   activities   of
approximately $6,317,000 consisted of net proceeds received  from the sale of
the  Balcones  Woods  Apartments.  Cash  used   in  financing  activities  of
approximately $8,610,000 consisted of distributions  of $8,636,000 to the
Limited Partners and principal payments on  mortgage notes payable offset
by net disbursements  received from capital  improvement escrows.  In January
1998, the Partnership  made a  distribution of  $495,747 to  Limited Partners
representing a  distribution of  remaining  available Net  Cash Proceeds,  as
discussed below.  

The Partnership  Agreement provides  for the  dissolution of  the Partnership
upon the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all
<PAGE>
interests in real estate.  During 1996, the Partnership  sold two properties.
During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining  property, the Balcones Woods
Apartments. The Partnership has retained a portion of  the cash from property
sales to  satisfy  obligations of  the  Partnership as  well  as establish  a
reserve for contingencies. The  timing of the termination  of the Partnership
and final distribution  of cash  will depend  upon the  nature and  extent of
liabilities and contingencies  which exist or  may arise.  Such contingencies
may include legal and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving
the Partnership including, but not limited to, the lawsuit discussed in "Item
3. Legal Proceedings". In the absence of any such contingencies, the reserves
will be paid  within twelve months  of the last  property being sold.  In the
event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the
Partnership for a longer period of time.

In March  1997,  the  Partnership  sold  the Balcones  Woods  Apartments  for
$15,800,000. The purchaser of the property took title subject to the existing
first mortgage loan in  the amount of $9,113,278.   From the proceeds  of the
sale, the Partnership paid $369,746  in selling costs. Pursuant  to the terms
of the sale, $200,000 of the proceeds was retained by the Partnership and was
unavailable for distribution  until May  1997, at which  time the  funds were
released in  full. The  available proceeds  were distributed  to the  Limited
Partners in April and July 1997. See Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements
for additional information.

Pursuant to the sale agreement for  the Songbird - Phases I  & II Apartments,
$500,000 of  the  sale  proceeds was  retained  by  the Partnership  and  was
unavailable for distribution until January 1997, at which time the funds were
released in full.

The Partnership made distributions  totaling $116.50, $78.00, and  $72.95 per
Interest in 1997,  1996, and 1995,  respectively. See Statement  of Partner's
Capital for additional information. Distributions were  comprised of $4.00 of
Net Cash Receipts  and $112.50 of  Net Cash Proceeds  in 1997, $15.00  of Net
Cash Receipts and $63.00 of Net Cash Proceeds in 1996,  and $9.45 of Net Cash
Receipts and $63.50 of Net Cash Proceeds in 1995.

In January 1998, the Partnership  made a distribution of  $495,747 ($6.69 per
Interest) to  the holders  of  Limited Partnership  Interests representing  a
distribution of remaining available Net Cash Proceeds.  Including the January
1998 distribution, Limited Partners  have received distributions of  Net Cash
Receipts of $46.90  and Net  Cash Proceeds of  $555.69, totaling  $602.59 per
$1,000  Interest,  as   well  as  certain   tax  benefits.     No  additional
distributions are  anticipated to  be made  prior to  the termination  of the
Partnership.  However, after paying final partnership expenses, any remaining
cash reserves will be distributed.  Limited Partners  will not recover all of
their original investment.

The Registrant  paid  $2,336 in  1997  with respect  to  one of  the  executive
officers and  directors of  Balcor  Partners -  XI,  the General  Partner.  The
Registrant has not paid  and does not  propose to pay  any remuneration to  the
remaining executive officers and directors  of the General Partner. Certain  of
the officers receive  compensation from The  Balcor Company (but  not from  the
Registrant) for services performed for  various affiliated entities, which  may
include services performed  for the  Registrant. However,  the General  Partner
believes that any such compensation attributable to services performed for  the
Registrant is immaterial to the Registrant.  See Note 10 of Notes to  Financial
Statements for the information relating to transactions with affiliates.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82:


We have audited the financial statements of Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (An
Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed in  the Index of this Form 10-K.  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  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, the financial statements  referred to above present fairly,  in
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Realty Investors
Ltd.-82 at December 31, 1997  and 1996, and the results of its operations  and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Note 2 to  the financial statements, the partnership agreement
provides for the  dissolution of the  Partnership upon disposition of all its
interests in real estate. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has 
disposed of all of its remaining real estate assets. Upon resolution of the
litigation described in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Partnership
intends to cease operations and dissolve.

                        BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS LTD.-82
                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:

Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (the "Partnership") has retained cash  reserves
from the sale of its real  estate investments for contingencies which exist  or
may arise.  The Partnership's  operations currently consist of interest  income
earned on short-term investments and the payment of administrative expenses. 

2. Partnership Termination:

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership  upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. During 1996,  the Partnership sold two  properties.  During  1997,
the Partnership sold its remaining property, the Balcones Woods Apartments. The
Partnership has retained a portion of  the cash from property sales to  satisfy
obligations  of  the   Partnership  as   well  as  establish   a  reserve   for
contingencies. The  timing of  the  termination of  the Partnership  and  final
distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities  and
contingencies which exist or  may arise. Such  contingencies may include  legal
and other fees  and costs  stemming from litigation  involving the  Partnership
including, but not limited to, the lawsuit discussed in Note 15 of Notes to the
Financial Statements.  In the absence  of any such contingencies, the  reserves
will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold. In the event
a contingency  continues  to exist  or  arises, reserves  may  be held  by  the
Partnership for a longer period of time.

3. Accounting Policies:

(a) The preparation of  the financial statements  in conformity with  generally
accepted accounting principles requires the  General Partner to make  estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities  and
disclosure of contingent assets  and liabilities at the  date of the  financial
statements and  the  reported  amounts  of revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

(b) Depreciation  expense  was  computed using  straight-line  and  accelerated
methods. Rates used in  the determination of depreciation  were based upon  the
following estimated useful lives:

                                                    Years
                                                    -----

               Buildings and improvements          20 to 30
               Furniture and fixtures                 5

Maintenance and repairs were charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for
improvements were charged to the related asset account.

Interest incurred while properties were under construction was capitalized.
<PAGE>
As properties were sold,  the related costs  and accumulated depreciation  were
removed from  the respective  accounts. Any  gain or  loss on  disposition  was
recognized  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles.
Deferred gains on  sales of  properties resulted  from prior  year sales  being
recorded under  the installment  method. Gains  were recognized  (based on  the
gross profit percentage) as sales proceeds were collected.

(c) Effective January 1, 1995  the partnership adopted Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards, No.  121 (SFAS  121), "Accounting for  the Impairment  of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Under SFAS 121, the
Partnership recorded its  investments in real  estate at the  lower of cost  or
fair value, and periodically  assessed, but not less  than on an annual  basis,
possible impairment  to  the  value  of its  properties.  The  General  Partner
estimated the fair  value of its  properties based on  the current sales  price
less estimated closing costs.  Under  SFAS 121, the General Partner  determined
that no impairment in value had occurred prior to the sales of the  properties.
The General Partner  considered the  method referred to  above to  result in  a
reasonable measurement  of  a  property's  fair  value,  unless  other  factors
affecting the property's value indicated otherwise.

(d) Deferred expenses consisted of mortgage financing fees which were amortized
over the terms of the respective  agreements. Upon sale, any remaining  balance
was  recognized  as   debt  extinguishment   expense  and   classified  as   an
extraordinary item.

(e) Revenue was  recognized on an  accrual basis in  accordance with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

(f) The Financial Accounting Standard  Board's Statement No. 107,  "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial  Instruments", requires disclosure of fair  value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the  Partnership's
financial instruments, fair values have  been based on estimates using  present
value  techniques.  These   techniques  are  significantly   affected  by   the
assumptions used,  including the  discount rate  and estimates  of future  cash
flows.  In  that  regard,  the  derived   fair  value  estimates  can  not   be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may  not
be realized in immediate settlement of  the instrument. Statement No. 107  does
not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments
and all  non-financial instruments  such  as real  estate from  its  disclosure
requirements.

(g) For financial statement purposes, in previous years partners were allocated
income and loss in accordance with the provisions in the Partnership Agreement.
In order for the capital accounts  of the General Partner and Limited  Partners
to appropriately reflect their remaining economic interests as provided for  in
the Partnership Agreement,  the income  allocations between  the partners  have
been adjusted for financial statement purposes in 1997.

(h)  Cash  and  cash  equivalents   include  all  unrestricted  highly   liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash is held  or
invested primarily in one financial institution.
<PAGE>
(i) The Partnership  is not liable  for Federal income  taxes and each  partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax
return; therefore,  no provision  for income  taxes is  made in  the  financial
statements of the Partnership.

(j) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 128, "Earnings per  Share"
was adopted by  the Partnership for  the year-ended December  31, 1997 and  has
been  applied  to  all  prior  earnings  periods  presented  in  the  financial
statements.  Since  the Partnership  has no  dilutive securities,  there is  no
difference between  basic  and  diluted  net  income  per  Limited  Partnership
Interest.

4. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership  was  organized during  June  1981. The  Partnership  Agreement
provides for Balcor Partners-XI to be the General Partner and for the admission
of Limited  Partners through  the  sale of  up  to 75,000  Limited  Partnership
Interests at $1,000  per Interest, 74,133  of which  were sold on  or prior  to
May 29, 1982, the termination date of the offering.

The Partnership Agreement generally provides  that the General Partner will  be
allocated 5% and Limited Partners 95% of  the profits and losses.  However,  it
further provides that  profits and  losses from property  dispositions will  be
allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to Limited Partners. For  financial
statement purposes, in previous years  partners were allocated income and  loss
in accordance with the  provisions in the Partnership  Agreement. In order  for
the  capital  accounts  of  the   General  Partner  and  Limited  Partners   to
appropriately reflect their remaining economic interests as provided for in the
Partnership Agreement, the  income allocations between  the partners have  been
adjusted for financial statement purposes in 1997.

One hundred  percent  of  Net  Cash Receipts  available  for  distribution  was
distributed to the holders  of Interests. In addition,  there shall be  accrued
for the  benefit  of  the  General  Partner  as  its  distributive  share  from
operations, an amount  equivalent to  approximately 5%  of the  total Net  Cash
Receipts being distributed, which  was payable only out  of Net Cash  Proceeds.
The payment of this amount to the General Partner is subordinated to the return
to holders  of  Interests  of  their  Original Capital  plus  a  3%  per  annum
Cumulative Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital, as described below.
Under certain circumstances, the  General Partner may  also participate in  the
Net Cash  Proceeds  from  (i) the refinancing  of  Partnership  properties  and
(ii) the sale of Partnership properties. When  and as the Partnership sells  or
refinances its properties, the Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, which are
available for distribution, will  be distributed only  to holders of  Interests
until such time as holders of Interests have received an amount equal to  their
Original Capital  plus  a 3%  per  annum Cumulative  Distribution  on  Adjusted
Original Capital. Thereafter, the General  Partner will receive 15% of  further
distributed Net  Cash  Proceeds. Such  distribution  will include  the  accrued
distributive share from operations.  The General Partner  will not receive  any
distribution of Net Cash Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with these
provisions.
<PAGE>
5. Mortgage Note Payable:

As  of  December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  had  a  mortgage  note  payable
outstanding of  $9,161,938 related  to the  Balcones Woods  Apartments.  During
1997, the  property  was sold  and  the purchaser  took  title subject  to  the
mortgage note  as  further described  in  Note 11  of  Notes to  the  Financial
Statements.

During 1997, 1996  and 1995,  the Partnership incurred  interest expense  on   
mortgage notes payable of $126,547, $1,639,926 and $2,067,794 and paid interest
expense on  mortgage  notes payable  of  $147,831, $1,655,049  and  $2,067,794,
respectively.

6. Repayment of Note Receivable:

In February 1995, the Partnership received $1,342,445 as payment in full on the
wrap-around note that  had been  received in connection  with the  sale of  the
Meridian Hills Court Apartments.  This note had matured  in November 1994,  but
the  Partnership  granted  the  borrower  an  extension.  The  amount  received
represented the wrap-around  note balance  of $6,150,000,  less the  underlying
mortgage note balance, which was $4,807,555  at the time of the repayment.  The
liability for the underlying mortgage note was assumed by the purchaser of  the
property,  which  represents  a   non-cash  transaction  to  the   Partnership.
Accordingly, the non-cash aspect  of this transaction is  not presented in  the
Partnership's Statements of  Cash Flows.  As a  result of  this repayment,  the
Partnership recognized  the  remaining deferred  gain  of $3,244,180  from  the
property sale in its 1995 financial statements. The Partnership had  recognized
interest income related to this wrap-around note during 1995.

7. Seller's Participation in Joint Venture:

The Balcones  Woods  Apartments  was  owned by  a  joint  venture  between  the
Partnership and the seller.  Consequently, the seller  retained an interest  in
the property through an interest in the joint venture. All assets, liabilities,
income and  expenses  of the  joint  venture  were included  in  the  financial
statements of the Partnership  with the appropriate  deduction from income,  if
any, for the seller's participation in the joint venture. The property was sold
in March 1997. The seller did not receive any of the sales proceeds.

8. Management Agreement:

The Partnership's  properties were  under management  agreements with  a  third
party management company prior to the sale of the properties. These  management
agreements provided for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.

9. Tax Accounting:

The Partnership keeps its books in  accordance with the Internal Revenue  Code,
rules and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder  and  existing  interpretations
thereof.  The  accompanying  financial   statements,  which  are  prepared   in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from  the
tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the
Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that
<PAGE>
the net income for 1997 in the financial statements is $4,382,850 less than the
taxable income  for  the  same  period. The  lower  net  income  for  financial
statement purposes is primarily from the difference in accumulated depreciation
due to the application of  different methods for generally accepted  accounting
principle and tax. Accumulated depreciation is a component of the  calculation
of the gain on sale.

10. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

                        Year Ended       Year Ended         Year Ended

The Partnership  participated in  an insurance  deductible program  with  other
affiliated partnerships in which  the program paid claims  up to the amount  of
the deductible  under the  master insurance  policies for  its properties.  The
program was administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who received no
fee for administering the program; however, the General Partner was  reimbursed
for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance
program of $8,062 and $52,047 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Partnership had  been required  to post a  $1,230,000 letter  of credit  as
additional collateral for the Eagles  Pointe Apartments mortgage note  payable.
An affiliate of the General Partner  originally had been providing a  guarantee
for this letter of credit. During 1993, the Partnership pledged $1,230,000 from
its cash reserves as cash collateral for  the letter of credit in place of  the
affiliate's guarantee.  The  amount  pledged  as  collateral  was  invested  in
short-term instruments pursuant to the terms  of the pledge agreement with  the
lending institution. Interest earned on this amount accumulated for the benefit
of the Partnership.  The Partnership obtained  a release of  the funds in  July
1996, upon  meeting  certain  criteria  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  loan
agreement.

11. Property Sales:

(a) In  March 1997,  the Partnership  sold the  Balcones Woods  Apartments  for
$15,800,000. The purchaser of the property took title subject to the existing
<PAGE>
first mortgage loan  in the amount  of $9,113,278, which  represents a  noncash
transaction to  the  Partnership.  Accordingly,  the  noncash  aspect  of  this
transaction is not  presented in  the Partnership's Statements  of Cash  Flows.
From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $369,746 in selling  costs.
The basis  of  the  property  was  $6,542,381,  which  is  net  of  accumulated
depreciation of $5,118,951. For  financial statement purposes, the  Partnership
recognized a gain of $8,887,873 from the sale of this property. 

(b) In October 1996,  the Partnership sold the  Eagles Pointe Apartments in  an
all cash sale for $11,075,000. From  the proceeds of the sale, the  Partnership
paid $7,066,611  to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the
first and  second  mortgage loans,  and  paid  $298,233 in  selling  costs  and
$423,933 of prepayment  penalties. In  addition, the Partnership  paid a  state
withholding tax of $286,149 on behalf  of the Limited Partners relating to  the
gain on  the  sale  of  the  property which  has  been  recorded  as  a  deemed
distribution for financial statement  purposes. The basis  of the property  was
$3,938,156, which  is  net  of  accumulated  depreciation  of  $4,161,190.  For
financial statement purposes, the Partnership  recognized a gain of  $6,838,611
from the sale of this property.

(c) In  September  1996,  the  Partnership sold  the  Songbird-Phases  I  &  II
Apartments in an all cash sale for $10,700,000. The purchaser of the property
took title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of 
$7,015,499,  which  represents  a  noncash  transaction  to  the   Partnership.
Accordingly, the noncash  aspect of this  transaction is not  presented in  the
Partnership's Statements of  Cash Flows.  From the  proceeds of  the sale,  the
Partnership paid $362,421 in selling costs. The basis of the property was
$4,654,750, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $4,211,703. For 
financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $5,682,829
from the sale of this property.

12. Extraordinary Items:

(a) In March 1997, the Partnership sold the Balcones Woods Apartments. In 
connection with the sale, the Partnership wrote-off the remaining unamortized 
deferred expenses in the amount of  $229,431. This amount was recognized as  an
extraordinary item and classified as debt extinguishment expense.

(b) In  September  1996,  the  Partnership sold  the  Songbird-Phases  I  &  II
Apartments. In connection with the sale, the Partnership wrote-off the
remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $192,960. This  amount
was recognized as an extraordinary  item and classified as debt  extinguishment
expense.

(c) In October  1996, the  Partnership sold  the Eagles  Pointe Apartments.  In
connection with the sale, the Partnership paid $423,933 of prepayment penalties
and wrote-off  the remaining  unamortized deferred  expenses in  the amount  of
$2,969. These amounts were recognized  as an extraordinary item and  classified
as debt extinguishment expense.

13. Settlement Income:

In February 1996, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller








regarding the original purchase of the Balcones Woods Apartments and recognized
$216,750 of settlement income relating  primarily to amounts received from  the
seller under the  management and  guarantee agreement as  well as  construction
defects at the property.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and accrued interest
receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.

Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at the end of 1996 for  a
mortgage loan with a similar term and maturity, the fair value of the  mortgage
note payable approximated the carrying value.

15. Contingency:

The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership  and
certain affiliates  have  been  named  as  defendants  alleging  certain  state
securities and common law  violations with regard  to the property  acquisition
process of the Partnership, and to the adequacy and accuracy of disclosures  of
information concerning,  as  well as  the  marketing efforts  related  to,  the
offering  of  the  Limited  Partnership  Interests  of  the  Partnership.   The
defendants continue to vigorously  contest this action.  A plaintiff class  has
not yet been certified, and no determination  of the merits have been made.  It
is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this
action would  have a  material adverse  impact on  the Partnership's  financial
position, results of operations or  liquidity. The Partnership believes it  has
meritorious defenses to contest the claims.

16. Subsequent Event:

In January 1998,  the Partnership made  a distribution of  $495,747 ($6.69  per
Interest) to  the  holders  of Limited  Partnership  Interests  representing  a
distribution of remaining available Net Cash Proceeds.
