                         AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO SCHEDULE 13D


            This Amendment No. 6, which relates to units of limited partnership
interest ("Units") in Shelter Properties V Limited Partnership, a South Carolina
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and is being filed jointly by Insignia
Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), Insignia Properties
Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("IPT"), Insignia Financial
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia"), and Mr. Andrew L. Farkas ("Mr.
Farkas") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), supplements and amends the
Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on May 30, 1995,
as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on June 14, 1995,
Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on June 21, 1995, Amendment No. 3
filed with the Commission on July 3, 1995, Amendment No. 4 filed with the
Commission on November 27, 1995 and Amendment No. 5 filed with the Commission on
April 25, 1997 (as amended, the "Statement"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Amendment No. 6 have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Statement.

            The following Items of the Statement are hereby supplemented and/or
amended as indicated:

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            Effective June 16, 1997, Jeffrey P. Cohen is serving as Vice
President of IPT. Mr. Cohen's principal occupation is to serve as Senior Vice
President--Investment Banking of Insignia, and his business address is 375 Park
Avenue, Suite 3401 New York, New York 10152. Mr. Cohen is a United States
citizen.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            The aggregate amount of funds used by Insignia in making the
purchase described in Item 5(c) was $4,551,598, and Insignia used its working
capital to make such purchase.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

            The Reporting Persons acquired the Units for investment purposes.
None of the Reporting Persons has any current plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of
the Partnership or the disposition of any such securities, (b) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of
a material amount of assets of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, (d)
any change in the present management of the Partnership, (e) any material change
in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Partnership, (f) any
other material change in the Partnership's business or corporate structure, (g)
any other material change in the Partnership's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Partnership by any person, (h) causing a class of securities of
the Partnership to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease
to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of
the Partnership becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (j) any action
similar to any of the enumerated in (a) through (i) above. However, the
Reporting Persons may acquire additional Units, whether through private
purchases, tender or exchange offers or by any other means deemed advisable. The
Reporting Persons also may consider selling some or all of their Units, either
directly or by a sale of one or more interests


                                        6

<PAGE>



in one or more of the Reporting Persons, depending among other things on
liquidity, strategic, tax and other considerations.

            Although the Reporting Persons do not intend to change current
management or the operation of the Partnership and have no current plans for any
extraordinary transaction involving the Partnership, these plans could change in
the future. In addition, the Reporting Persons expect that consistent with its
fiduciary obligations, Shelter Realty V Corporation, which is the general
partner of the Partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (the
"General Partner"), will seek and review opportunities to engage in transactions
which could benefit the Partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or
combinations of the Partnership with one or more other entities, with the
objective of seeking to maximize returns to holders of Units. In that regard,
the Reporting Persons expect the General Partner will carefully consider any
suggestions or proposals the Reporting Persons may make.

            The Reporting Persons have been advised that the possible future
transactions the General Partner expects to consider on behalf of the
Partnership include (i) payment of extraordinary distributions; (ii)
refinancing, reducing or increasing existing indebtedness of the Partnership;
(iii) sales of assets, individually or as part of a complete liquidation; and
(iv) mergers or other consolidation transactions involving the Partnership. Any
such merger or consolidation transaction could involve other limited
partnerships in which the General Partner or its affiliates serve as general
partners, or a combination of the Partnership with one or more existing,
publicly traded entities (including, possibly, affiliates of the Reporting
Persons), in any of which holders of Units might receive cash, common stock or
other securities or consideration. There is no assurance, however, as to when or
whether any of the transactions referred to above might occur. A merger or other
consolidation transaction and certain kinds of other extraordinary transactions
would require a vote of the limited partners in the Partnership. The Reporting
Persons' primary objective in acquiring the Units is not, however, to influence
the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a profit on the
investment represented by those Units.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            (a)-(b) IPLP owns 20,030 Units, representing approximately 38.1% of
the outstanding Units based on the 52,538 Units reported by the Partnership to
be outstanding at February 28, 1997. IPT, Insignia and Mr. Farkas may be deemed
to be beneficial owners of the Units directly owned by IPLP by reason of their
respective relationships with IPLP. IPT is the sole general partner of IPLP, and
Insignia is the majority shareholder of IPT. Mr. Farkas is the Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Insignia and is the beneficial owner of
approximately 27.9% of its outstanding common stock. Accordingly, for purposes
of this Amendment No. 6, the Reporting Persons all are reporting that they share
the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of the 20,030 Units directly owned by IPLP.

            (c) On June 13, 1997, Insignia purchased 6,407 Units for an
aggregate purchase price of $4,551,598 from High River Limited Partnership
("High River"), which is controlled by Carl Icahn, in a privately negotiated
transaction. Effective as of June 17, 1997, (i) Insignia contributed the Units
acquired from High River to IPT in exchange for common shares of IPT, and (ii)
IPT in turn contributed those Units to IPLP in exchange for units of general
partner interest in IPLP. No other transactions in the Units have been effected
by any of the Reporting Persons within the last 60 days.

            (d)-(e)  Not applicable.

                          PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


         This Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of
the 13th day of June, 1997, by and between High River, a Delaware limited

corporation ("Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Seller and certain of its affiliates and Purchaser and
certain of its affiliates are parties to a series of six separate settlement
agreements (collectively, the "Settlement Agreements"), each dated as of June
17, 1995 and relating to one of the six Shelter Partnerships (as defined
herein);

         WHEREAS, Seller is the record owner of: 1,695 units of limited

are collectively referred to herein as the "Shelter Partnerships," and the
Shelter I Units, Shelter II Units, Shelter III Units, Shelter IV Units, Shelter
V Units and Shelter VI Units are collectively referred to herein as the

         WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase,
the Shelter Units on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement;

                                   AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
representations, warranties covenants and agreements contained herein, and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1. Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
agrees to purchase from Seller, in exchange for the consideration described in
Sections 2, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the
Shelter Units, free and clear of all liens.

         2. Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shelter Units
is $15,500,000.00 (the "Purchase Price"), payable in cash in the manner
provided in Section 3. The Purchase Price shall be allocated between the
Shelter I Units, Shelter II Units, Shelter III Units, Shelter IV Units, Shelter

<PAGE>

         3. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shelter Units
contemplated hereby (the "Closing") will take place on June 13, 1997 (the
"Closing Date"). At the Closing, Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller designated on
Schedule II attached hereto. Simultaneously, Seller will assign and transfer to
Purchaser good and valid title in and to the Shelter Units, free and clear of
any and all liens, charges and encumbrances (other than those contained in or
resulting from the Settlement Agreements), by delivering to Purchaser the
Assignments of Partnership Interest attached as Exhibits A -- F hereto.

         4. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby represents
and warrants to Purchaser that each of the following statements is true and
correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing
Date as if made on and as of such date:

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation to own, hold,
sell and transfer (pursuant to this Agreement) the Shelter Units.

            (b) Authority. The execution and delivery by Seller of this
Agreement, and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, have
been duly and validly authorized by requisite action on the part of Seller.
This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable
against Seller in accordance with its terms.

            (c) Shelter Units. The Shelter Units are legally and beneficially
owned by Seller. Except as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Settlement
Agreements, there is no option, warrant, conversion or other right, agreement
or commitment of any kind, contingent or otherwise, obligating Seller to sell
any of the Shelter Units, and no authorization therefor has been given. The
Shelter Units are, and will immediately prior to the Closing be, free and clear
of any assessment, lien, restrictions, pledge, claim, proxy, security interest,
option, rights of others or encumbrances of any kind, nature or description
(other than those contained in or resulting from the Settlement Agreements).
Neither Seller nor any of its affiliates owns (beneficially or of record) any
units of limited partnership interest in any of the Shelter Partnerships other
than the Shelter Units.

            (d) Shelter Partnerships. Seller hereby expressly acknowledges that
it understands that certain affiliates of the Purchaser are the general
partners of the Shelter Partnerships, and, accordingly, the Purchaser may
possess or have access to non-public information concerning the Shelter
Partnerships and their respective properties and operations. Seller has taken
the foregoing into account in making its decision to sell the Shelter Units to
Purchaser and in determining the Purchase Price therefor. In addition, Seller
has been given the opportunity to ask questions of each Purchaser and the
Shelter Partnerships and the general

2

sale of the Shelter Units, and has received satisfactory answers to all such
questions.

            (e) Brokers' and Finders' Fees. Neither Seller nor any agent or
representative of Seller has employed any broker or finder or incurred any
liability for any brokerage fees or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to Seller that each of the following statements is true

enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

            (c) Brokers' and Finders' Fees. Neither Purchaser nor any agent or
representative of Purchaser has employed any broker or finder or incurred any

         7. Settlement Agreements. Notwithstanding the sale of the Shelter
Units pursuant to this Agreement, the parties agree, and Seller expressly
confirms and acknowledges, that the provisions of Articles III and IV of each
of the Settlement Agreements shall continue to apply to the Icahn Entities and
their Affiliates (each as defined in the Settlement Agreements) in full force

inconsistent provisions are hereby waived by Purchaser.

or any knowledge acquired as to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such
representation or warranty or any breach or non-performance of any such
covenant or agreement.

            (b) Losses. For purposes of this Section 8, the terms Losses shall
mean any and all losses, damages, liabilities (including punitive or exemplary
damages and fines or penalties and any interest thereon), costs, and expenses,
claims liens or other obligations of any nature whatsoever, including without
limitation the costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' and
other professional fees and expenses.
