ITEM 1  BUSINESS

Formation of the Partnership

The registrant, MultiVest Real Estate Fund, Ltd., Series VII ("Partnership"), is
a Michigan limited partnership which was formed in 1974 primarily for the
purpose of investing in, operating and disposing of improved real estate.  The
Partnership is operated by its (Corporate) general partner MultiVest Real
Estate, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("General Partner").

The Partnership originally invested its funds in a shopping center and
apartments which the General Partner considered to have a potential for profit
either through income or gain on resale.  The Partnership also attempted to
provide tax shelter benefits for participants when feasible within its primary
investment objective.

Dissolution of the Partnership

The Partnership is currently in the process of dissolution pursuant to its
Agreement of Limited Partnership ("Partnership Agreement").  In 1984, the
Limited Partners of the Partnership voted for the orderly termination and
dissolution of the Partnership and the General Partner is proceeding
accordingly.  Since that time, the General Partner has sold the Partnership's
properties pursuant to wrap-around and purchase money mortgage notes which are
secured by the sold properties.  Following is a summary of the note balance
which existed at December 31, 1995:

                                                Mortgage Note

of Notes to Financial Statements.

                 MULTIVEST REAL ESTATE FUND, LTD., SERIES VII


Summary of Business Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1995

The operations of the Partnership consist of (1) the ownership and management of
Las Cortes Apartments in Dallas, Texas; and (2) collections on the mortgage note
on Ross Ridge Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland and protection of the
Partnership's mortgage interest in the property.

The Partnership owns and operates Las Cortes Apartments in Dallas, Texas.  The
Partnership took title to the property on March 7, 1995 after foreclosing on its
previous owner.  The previous owner was unable to make the mortgage balloon
payment in the amount of $10,153,932.25 to the Partnership when it came due on
January 15, 1995.  After the Partnership took control of the property, a major
renovation program was initiated, including new asphalt drives, new roofs on all
buildings and a complete exterior paint.  This program is expected to be
completed in March 1996.  The property is on the market for sale.

The Partnership also holds a wrap-around mortgage note on Ross Ridge Apartments,
located in Baltimore, Maryland.  The note becomes payable to the Partnership in
November 1996.  The General Partner services the mortgage which relates to the
mortgage note.  This entails inspecting the property, monitoring payments on
(and the purchaser's ability to pay) the note and, if appropriate, taking action
to protect the Partnership if the purchaser defaults under the note (this
includes beginning, monitoring and settling legal action and, if appropriate,
taking possession of, operating and reselling the property).

The sources of operating income for the Partnership consist of income from the
operations of Las Cortes Apartments, collections on the Ross Ridge  Apartments
mortgage note, and interest earned on funds held in reserve pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement.

On October 6, 1995, the owners of Quail Creek Apartments repaid the wrap-around
mortgage note held by the Partnership in the net amount of $654,454.00. The
repayment proceeds, less Partnership expenses and a reduction in Partnership
reserves, resulted in a cash distribution to the Partners in the amount of
$652,181.00 or $29.00 per Partnership unit for the quarter ended December 31,
1995.

For further information regarding the 1995 operations of the Partnership, see
Item 7 -  "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations".

Future Business Operations of the Partnership

The General Partner anticipates continuation of its dissolution and winding up
of the Partnership. Any future cash distributions to the Partners would come
from collections on the mortgage note and any potential cash flow from the
operations and/or sale of Las Cortes Apartments.

Conflicts of Interest

The Partnership is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its
relationship with the General Partner and its affiliates.  These conflicts
involve the following:

1.    Competition by the Partnership with Other Partnerships for Management
      Services:  The General Partner serves as a general partner in three other
      limited partnerships, all of which were formed to engage in similar
      businesses of this Partnership and two of which are presently being wound
      up and liquidated.  The General Partner may have conflicts of interest in
      allocating management time, services and functions among the various
      partnerships and any future partnerships and other entities which may be
      organized; however, the General Partner believes that is has sufficient
      staff to be fully capable of discharging its responsibilities to each
      partnership and other entity.

2.    Liability of General Partner to Other Partnerships:  The General Partner
      is generally liable for the Partnership's's recourse obligations, to the
      extent not paid by the Partnership. Because the General Partner is a
      general partner in other limited partnerships, creditors of any such
      partnerships could seek to realize on the assets of the General Partner if
      that partnership's assets were insufficient to satisfy its debts.  Should
      the General Partner at any time have insufficient assets to meet such
      obligations, the General Partner could face conflicts of interest with
      regard to the manner in which its assets are distributed to meet the
      obligations.

3.    Real Estate Commissions and Other Commissions Earned by Affiliates:  To
      the extent the Partnership sells any properties, modifies or refinances
      any indebtedness or requires a construction manager, the Partnership may
      pay real estate and loan brokerage commissions thereon to brokers or
      construction management fees to the construction manager, including an
      affiliate of the General Partner, subject to such restrictions and upon
      such terms as are provided under the Partnership Agreement.

4.    Provision for Property Management and Mortgage Servicing Services for the
      Partnership by an Affiliate:  An affiliate of the General Partner performs
      property management services and mortgage servicing services for the
      Partnership.  In the opinion of the General Partner, such affiliate is
      engaged in accordance with the Partnership Agreement on terms which are
      fair and reasonable and no less favorable than could reasonably be
      obtained by the Partnership from unaffiliated persons.

5.    Provision for Legal Services:  The firm of Honigman Miller Schwartz and
      Cohn is counsel to the Partnership.  It also is counsel to the General
      Partner and its corporate affiliates.  As such, it provides legal services
      to the Partnership in connection with its operations, real property
      investment and related matters at its usual rate for such services.

Competition

Las Cortes Apartments is subject to competition from similar properties in its
general location (see Item 2, "Properties")

ITEM 2        PROPERTIES

The following is a brief description of Las Cortes Apartments:

              
                   Number of   Year Construction    Percentage of Occupancy
    Location      Apt. Units      Completed           at December 29, 1995  

    Dallas, Texas     260           1970                     93.8%

Las Cortes Apartments competes with properties in its immediate area that are of
similar construction and/or age.  Occupancy is relatively stable and rent
concessions, although minimal, are a common utilized marketing tool.

The property was foreclosed on by the Partnership on March 7, 1995 (See Item 1 -
"Business" and Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements)

The Partnership has a beneficial interest in one property formerly owned by the
Partnership.  The property was sold on a deferred payment basis for which the
Partnership holds a mortgage note (see Item 1 - "Business" and Notes 4, 5 and 11
of Notes to Financial Statements).


ITEM 3  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

The Partnership is a defendant, from time to time, in various actions brought by
tenants, contractors, materialmen, and others in connection with the
Partnership's property, many of which are covered by the liability insurance
maintained by the Partnership.  The Partnership believes that the effect, if
any, of these suits on the financial condition of the Partnership will not
be material.


ITEM 4  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.



                                   PART II      



ITEM 5  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY
        HOLDER MATTERS

To the best knowledge of the General Partner, there is no public trading market
for the Partnership Units.  Since such a market does not exist for the resale of
the Units, market prices cannot be ascertained.  There are approximately 1,599
holders of the Units as of December 31, 1995.

Cash Distributions to Partners

The following cash distributions were declared by the Partnership during the
past two years:

                                      Distributions            Per Unit

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

The current operations of the Partnership are centered on one apartment complex
owned by the Partnership, collections on a mortgage note received upon sale of
the Partnership's property and protection of the Partnership's mortgage interest
in such property.  

The Partnership's total revenues increased $678,149 or 58% in 1995 as compared
to 1994. Interest on wrap-around mortgage notes receivable decreased $611,456 or
59% due to the foreclosure on the wrap-around mortgage note receivable on Las
Cortes Apartments.  Rents and other tenant charges during 1995 represent the
rental activity for Las Cortes Apartments since foreclosure (see below).

Total revenues increased by $128,403 or 12% in 1994 over 1993, primarily due to
an increase in other income of $98,316 or 282%.  The increase was primarily due
to increased interest on investments following the repayment of the Bolingbrook
Commons Shopping Center and the Woodside Apartments mortgage notes receivable.

Total expenses decreased $487,007 or 26% in 1995 from 1994 primarily due to
payments during 1994 to the General Partner of the investment management
fee/real estate commission (see Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements), offset
by increases in operating expenses as a result of the resumption of rental
operations of Las Cortes Apartments.  Interest expense declined $19,912 or 16%
as a result of continued amortization of the mortgage notes payable principal
balance.  

The Partnership's total expenses increased $785,760 or 70% in 1994 from 1993 due
primarily to payments to the General Partner of the investment management
fee/real estate commission.

On January 20, 1993, the Partnership executed a modification of the wrap-around
mortgage note receivable in connection with Ross Ridge Apartments.  Under the
modification, the total amount due the Partnership after payment of the October
25, 1993 installment, including all accrued and deferred interest and unpaid
principal in the total amount of $4,580,284, was  recharacterized as unpaid
principal and became the principal balance due under the modified note.  The
modified note bears interest of 9.5%, and can be prepaid at any time without
penalty.  Monthly principal and interest payments are to be made in the amount
of $38,995, with all unpaid principal and interest due November 15, 1996.  Under
the agreement, the borrower will reimburse the Partnership $1,200 toward the
costs of two additional property inspections each year. 

On October 6, 1995, the Partnership received $654,454 as the net payoff on the
Quail Creek Apartments mortgage note receivable.  The amount represents the
difference between (a) the remaining principal plus all accrued interest on the
note, less a discount of $274,015 ($1,259,602) and (b) the principal and accrued
interest  on the underlying mortgage note payable with respect to this property
($605,148).

An Investment Management Fee/Real Estate commission in the amount of $95,066 was
earned by the General Partner during 1995.  The General Partner has earned a
total of $3,924,953 from inception through December 31, 1995.  However,
additional fees may be due the General Partner as the Partnership continues
to receive cash proceeds.

ITEM 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS, continued

On January 15, 1995, the owners of Las Cortes Apartments (also known as Lincoln
Terrace Apartments) were required to make a mortgage balloon payment to the
Partnership in the amount of $10,153,932.24 plus $24,170.71 in accrued legal
expenses and out of pocket costs from previous defaults and a tax escrow payment
of $8,292.15.  No payment was received by the Partnership and a Notice of
Default was sent to the owners of the property on January 24, 1995.  On March 7,
1995, the Partnership foreclosed on the mortgage, took title to the property
and began rental operations.

The liquidity of the Partnership is dependent upon the timely receipt of
income.  There are no other credit facilities currently in place and limited
partners have no obligation to provide additional funds in excess of their
initial cash contributions.  In order to protect the Partnership in the event of
a reduction in cash flow, management closely monitors the Partnership's cash
position, and, when necessary, will reserve adequate funds to continue to
operate the Partnership in the foreseeable future.  Funds so reserved are
generally invested in short-term investments.  The Partnership maintains
adequate liquidity on a short-term basis as a result of its cash flow and
reserve policies; however, there can be no assurance of continued collections
on the existing mortgage note or the continued performance of the Partnership's
rental property, which could have a negative effect upon the long-term liquidity
of the Partnership.  Funds generated from operations and collections on the
wrap-around mortgage note have primarily been utilized to meet debt service
obligations and, when possible, distribute funds to the Partners.  There was no
distribution of funds during the year ended December 31, 1995.

The Partners
MultiVest Real Estate Fund, Ltd. (Series VII):


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of MultiVest
Real Estate Fund, Ltd. (Series VII) (a Michigan limited partnership) as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, changes
in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 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 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 MultiVest Real Estate Fund,
Ltd. (Series VII) (a Michigan limited partnership) at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
                                                 


1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Assets

    The Partnership's assets are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair
    value.  All subsequent expenditures for improvements are capitalized.  The
    costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon
    sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
    removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income in
    accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66.

    The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
    121 - Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long
    Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of - on January 1, 1995, and accordingly
    evaluates its real estate investments periodically to assess whether any
    impairment indications are present, including recurring operating losses
    and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate that
    affect the recovery of the recorded value.  If any real estate investment
    is considered impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying value
    of the property to its estimated fair value.  The implementation of this 
    standard had no financial impact on the financial statements.


    Depreciation

    The Partnership depreciates land improvements, buildings and building
    improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
    of the assets.  Depreciation is computed using the following useful lives:

                                                 Years
                Land Improvements               3 to 10 
                Buildings                      16 to 28 
                Building Improvements           3 to 10 

  Accounting for Real Estate Sales

  Sales of real estate are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 66 - Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.
  For sales of real estate where both cost recovery is reasonably certain and
  the collectibility of the contract price is reasonably assured, but the
  transactions do not meet the remaining requirements to be recorded on the
  accrual basis, profit is recognized under the installment method which
  recognizes profit as collections of principal are received.  If developments
  subsequent to the adoption of the installment method occur causing the
  transaction to meet the requirements of the full accrual method, the remaining
  deferred profit is recognized at that time.

  Use of Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
  accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
  that affect certain reported amounts in the financial statements and
  accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments, including mortgage
  notes and accounts receivable, mortgage notes and accounts payable, accrued
  expenses, security deposits, and other financial instruments, generally
  determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows using a
  discount rate commensurate with the risks involved, approximate their carrying
  or contract values.

  Cash Equivalents

  For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments
  purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash
  equivalents.  These investments consist principally of repurchase agreements
  and Treasury Bills.

  Reclassifications

  Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1993 and 1994 financial
  statements to conform to the presentation of 1995 results of operations.

  Notes Receivable
 
  Notes receivable are recorded at cost less the related allowance for impaired
  notes receivable.  The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statements of 
  Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
  of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting be Creditors for Impairment
  of a Loan-income Recognition and Disclosure, on January 1, 1995.  Management,
  considering current information and events regarding the borrowers ability to
  repay their obligations, considers a note to be impaired when it is probable
  that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
  the contractual terms of the note agreement.  When a loan is considered to be
  impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value
  of expected future cash flows discounted at the note's effective interest
  rate.  Impairment losses are included in the allowance for doubtful accounts
  through a charge to bad debt expense.  Interest is recognized on a cash
  basis for impaired loans.  The implementation of these standards had no
  financial impact on the financial statements.

4.  Mortgage Notes Receivable, continued

(A) The mortgage note receivable is subordinate to existing first mortgage loan
    (see Note 5).

(B) On January 15, 1995, the owners of Las Cortes Apartments (also known as
    Lincoln Terrace Apartments) were required to make a mortgage balloon payment
    to the Partnership in the amount of $10,153,932 plus $24,170 in accrued
    legal expenses and out of pocket costs from previous defaults and a
    tax escrow payment of $8,292.  No payment was received by the Partnership
    and a Notice of Default was sent to the owners of the property on January
    24, 1995.  On March 7, 1995, the Partnership foreclosed on the mortgage
    and took title to the property.

(C) On January 20, 1993, the Partnership executed a modification of the
    wrap-around mortgage  note receivable in connection with Ross Ridge
    Apartments.  Under the modification, the  total amount due the Partnership
    after payment of the October 15, 1993 installment, including all accrued
    and deferred interest and unpaid principal in the total amount of 
    $4,580,284, was recharacterized as unpaid principal and became the principal
    balance due under the modified note.  The modified note bears interest of
    9.5%.   Monthly principal and interest payments are to be made in the amount
    of $38,995, with all unpaid principal and interest due November 15, 1996.
    Under the agreement, the borrower paid all legal and recording costs
    associated with the execution of the new loan documents, and will also
    reimburse the Partnership $1,200 toward the costs of two additional property
    inspections each year.

(D) On October 6, 1995, the Partnership received $654,454 as the net payoff on
    the Quail Creek Apartments mortgage note receivable.  The amount represents
    the difference between (a) the remaining principal plus all accrued interest
    on the note less a discount of $274,015 ($1,259,602) and (b) the principal
    and accrued interest on the underlying mortgage note payable with respect to
    the property ($605,148).

(E) The total interest income accrued and deferred includes cumulative deferred
    interest  receivable.

7.  Related Party Transactions, continued
    
    The Partnership Agreement provides for payment to the General Partner of an
    investment management fee of 10% of all cash proceeds (defined as net cash
    realized from time to time      upon the sale, refinancing or other
    dispositions by the Partnership of each property, or portion  of any
    property, after provisions for reserves which may be established in the sole
    discretion of the Corporate General Partner).  The Partnership Agreement
    also provides for payment to an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner
    of real estate commissions in connection with properties sold of an amount
    not to exceed the lesser of (a) 3% of the total consideration paid therefor,
    (b) 50% of a standard real estate commission or (c) 50% of the fees
    permissible on the acquisition of a property.  According to the Partnership
    Agreement, these fees will be paid only after payment to the Limited
    Partners of 100% of their initial capital account, plus an amount equal to
    12% per annum of the current capital account on a cumulative basis,
    including all prior distributions.
    
    No Investment Management Fee/Real Estate Commission was paid to the
    Corporate General Partner prior to 1991.  However, as of the quarter ended
    March 31, 1991, the Limited Partners have received 100% of their Initial
    Capital Account (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
    Partnership), plus an amount equal to 12% per annum of the Current Capital
    Account, (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
    Partnership) on a cumulative basis, including all prior distributions.  An
    Investment Management Fee/Real Estate Commission in the amount of $809,600
    was earned by the General Partner during 1993, $1,637,220 was earned during
    1994 and $95,066 was earned during 1995.  The General Partner has earned a
    total of $3,924,953 through December 31, 1995.  Additional fees may be due
    the General Partner as the Partnership continues to receive cash proceeds. 
    Future payments of the Investment Management Fees/Real Estate Commissions
    are contingent upon a number of factors, and cannot be determined with
    reasonable certainty at this time.  

    In addition, an affiliate of the General Partner has been engaged to service
    the wrap-around mortgages held by the Partnership in accordance with the
    terms and conditions of a Mortgage Servicing Agreement between the affiliate
    and the Partnership.  It is anticipated that in order to protect the
    Partnership's interest in its assets, such affiliate will continue to
    service each wrap-around mortgage or other instrument now or hereafter held
    by the Partnership until full payment of the corresponding wrap-around note
    or other obligation.  Management is of the opinion that the mortgage
    servicing transactions were executed for a consideration approximating that
    which would have been obtained from wholly unrelated interest.  For the year
    ended December 31, 1995, the affiliate earned $15,143 for such services.

8.  General Partner Participation in Income or Loss

    The General Partner presently owns 152 General Partnership units and 10
    Limited Partnership units.  The two remaining Individual General Partners
    each own 38 General Partnership units.  In June 1981, an Individual General
    Partner resigned and assigned 38 General Partnership Units to the Corporate
    General Partner.  The General Partner participates in the income and loss of
    the Partnership in proportion of Partnership units owned to the total
    Partnership units outstanding.

ITEM 12    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
           MANAGEMENT, continued                        

The address for the above beneficial owners is P.O. Box 882044, San Francisco,
California  94188.

There are no parents of the Partnership.  MultiVest Real Estate, Inc. a Delaware
corporation, serves as General Partner of the Partnership and, as such, controls
its activities.  The Corporate General Partner currently owns 152 General
Partnership Units and 10 Limited Partnership Units.  The two Individual General
Partners each own 38 General Partnership Units.  (See Note 8 of Notes to
Financial Statements).

ITEM 13   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership Agreement provides for payment to the General Partner of an
investment management fee of 10% of all cash proceeds (defined as net cash
realized from time to time upon the sale, refinancing or other disposition by
the Partnership of each property, or portion of any property, after provisions
for reserves which may be established in the sole discretion of the Corporate
General Partner).  The Partnership Agreement also provides for payment to an
affiliate of the Corporate General Partner of real estate commissions in
connection with properties sold of an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a)
3% of the total consideration paid therefor, (b) 50% of a standard real estate
commission or (c) 50% of the fees permissible on the acquisition of a property.
According to the Partnership Agreement, these fees will be paid only after
payment to the Limited Partners of 100% of their initial capital account, plus
an amount equal to 12% per annum of the current capital account on a cumulative
basis, including all prior distributions.

As of the quarter ended March 31, 1991, the Limited Partners have received 100%
of their Initial Capital Account (as defined in the Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership), plus an amount equal to 12% per annum of the
Current Capital Account (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of
the Partnership), on a cumulative basis, including all prior distributions.

No Investment Management Fee/Real Estate Commission was paid to the Corporate
General Partner prior to 1991.  However, as of the quarter ended March 31, 1991,
the Limited Partners have received 100% of their Initial Capital Account (as
defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership), plus an
amount equal to 12% per annum of the Current Capital Account, (as defined in the
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership) on a cumulative basis,
including all prior distributions.  An Investment Management Fee/Real Estate
Commission in the amount of $809,600 was earned by the General Partner during
1992 and 1993, $1,637,220 was earned during 1994, and $95,066 was earned during
1995.  Additional fees may be due the General Partner as the Partnership
continues to receive cash proceeds.  Future payments of the Investment
Management Fees/Real Estate Commissions are contingent upon a number
of factors.  However, the actual amount which will ultimately be payable cannot
be determined with certainty or predicted at this time; the actual amount of the
Fee/Commission will be made from available cash, payment of any fee ultimately
earned is also contingent upon the Partnership having sufficient funds to make
the payment.

In addition, an affiliate of the General Partner has been engaged to service the
wrap-around mortgages held by the Partnership in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a Mortgage Servicing Agreement between the affiliate and the
Partnership.

ITEM 13  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, continued

It is anticipated that in order to protect the Partnership's interest in its
assets, such affiliate will continue to service each wrap-around mortgage or
other instrument now or hereafter held by the Partnership until full payment of
the corresponding wrap-around note or other obligation.  For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the affiliate earned $15,143 for such services.

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Corporate General Partner has the
right and power to employ and dismiss from employment, persons in the operation
and management of the Partnership business, including but not limited to,
supervisory managing agents, building management agents, real estate brokers,
and loan brokers on such terms and for such compensation as the Corporate
General Partner shall determine.  The Corporate General Partner is empowered to
employ in such capacities the Individual General Partners or an affiliate or
subsidiary of the Corporate General Partner on terms comparable to those
offered by unaffiliated firms.

At the time of the formation of the Partnership, the Individual General Partners
of the Partnership executed notes in favor of the Partnership as payment for
their General Partnership Units.  Each note bears interest at 12% per annum and
requires the Individual General Partner to make an interest payment to the
Partnership of 4% per annum, with the remaining 8% payable at maturity of the
note.  The Individual General Partners have no personal liability with respect
to their notes.  On December 29, 1976 the General Partner, in order to enhance
the viability of the Partnership and to retain the Individual General Partners
(which retention was deemed desirable with regard to the tax status of the
Partnership) and to induce the Individual General Partners to remain as such,
agreed to defer, without any personal liability to the Individual General
Partners, all current interest payments and future interest payment obligations
on the notes until July 28, 1984.  On July 26, 1984, the Corporate General
Partner further deferred payments on the Notes to ten (10) days after the date
of written demand for payment as such demand is determined by the Corporate
General Partner.  These promissory notes have consistently been netted against
the General Partners' capital accounts which, in prior years, resulted in such
notes and capital not being reflected in the financial statements.  As of
December 31, 1990, the notes were paid in full and the total value of the 228
units is being reflected as General Partner Capital.  Income and losses are also
being allocated on a per unit basis to all units outstanding.
