SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92110-1906
This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (this "Statement") relates to the
proposed sale of the remaining three properties (the "Properties") of ConAm
Realty Investors 3, L.P., a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), to a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser") to
be formed if the proposed sale is approved by the Partnership's limited
partners. It is anticipated that, shortly after the sale of the Properties,
the net proceeds from the sale, together with certain cash reserves, would be
distributed to the limited partners and the Partnership would be liquidated. A
final distribution of cash from reserves would be distributed to limited
partners at the time of liquidation.
The general partner of the Partnership is ConAm Property Services IV, Ltd.
(the "General Partner"). Continental American Development, Inc., a California
corporation ("CADI"), is the general partner of the General Partner. The
shareholders of CADI are substantially identical to the partners of
Continental American Properties, Ltd. ("CAPL"). CAPL is the managing member of
ConAm DOC Affiliates LLC, which will own a 9% interest in the Purchaser. In
addition, the shareholders of CADI are identical to the shareholders of ConAm
Management Corporation ("ConAm Management"), which will act as the initial
property manager for the Purchaser with respect to the Properties if the
proposed sale is approved.
A definitive consent solicitation statement (the "Consent Solicitation
Statement") regarding the proposed sale was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 14, 1998.
The following Cross-Reference Sheet is supplied pursuant to General

NOTES/COMMENTS:
In response to the most asked "questions and comments", I have the following
comments:
1. The original cost of one unit was $500 dollars. In each case, if this
transaction is approved, the investor will receive back the original
investment of $500 plus a return on that investment. Please refer to the
paragraph entitled "Distributions" in the consent solicitation statement.
2. The number of units owned by each investor is kept by Service Data
Corporation. Service Data can be reached at 1-800-223-3464 if the investor
has any questions as to the number of units the investor owns.
3. Distributions from the limited partnership from inception are also set forth
in the paragraph entitled "Distributions" and are also set forth in the
summary which D.F. King has prepared;
4. We do not believe that the price of the liquidation is low. The amount of
the distribution to the limited partners on sale of the partnership
properties and the corresponding liquidation of the partnership are estimated
to be near or exceed the net asset value of the partnership units as of the
most recent fiscal year end. The sales prices in the aggregate of all
properties owned each partnership equal or exceed the appraised values of the
properties established by the independent appraiser retained by each
partnership. The one exception to that statement is with respect to RPI
where the proposed price is less than the partnership's independent
appraisal, but in that case, the price is greater than the appraised value
set by the purchaser's lender in connection with this transaction.
================================================================================
<PAGE>
5. The other properties which were originally owned by the partnerships have
been sold by the partnerships over the years. Distributions of proceeds from
those sales have been periodically made by the partnerships and the sales of
those properties have been disclosed in the 10(K), 10(Q), and quarterly
correspondence.
6. As an investment the liquidation is taxable to the unit holders because there
has been a gain on sale from liquidation of the partnership. The amount of
tax may vary from limited partner to limited partner and also as to whether
the tax could be deferred depending on how the ownership is held for a
limited partner units, i.e., IRA account, etc. or other tax deferred title
holding entities. However, because there has been a gain (with the exception
of RPI) the liquidation results in a taxable event.
As to the comments, we understand that limited partners may be disappointed with
the return on their investment in these partnerships, but many public real
estate partnerships have resulted in losses to their investors of all or
substantially all of the original amounts invested. In these partnerships, if
the proposed transaction is consummated, the partners are receiving their
original investment of $500 per unit plus a return on that initial investment.
Please continue to keep me posted with respect to questions or comments that you
are receiving from the investors.
