To The limited partners of
Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2
September 15, 2000
Dear Limited Partner:
It is our pleasure to provide you with the enclosed Consent Solicitation
Statement. The Statement contains information relating to an amendment to the
Limited Partnership Agreement of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2
that requires the consent of a majority of the limited partners of your
partnership. In general, the amendment, if approved, would:
o Eliminate the requirement for your partnership to maintain reserves
equal to at least $5,391,188, which amount is equal to 5% of the
limited partners capital contributions less distributions to limited
partners from participating note payments and instead permit your
general partner to determine reasonable reserve requirements of your
partnership.
o Provide your partnership with greater flexibility in making
distributions to limited partners as the working capital reserve
required by your partnership may be reduced.
Concap Equities, Inc., the general partner of your partnership, believes
that the amendment is in the best interests of limited partners and your
partnership and recommends you vote "FOR" of the amendment. In addition,
affiliates of your general partner own approximately 43.64% of the limited
partnership interests in your partnership and have informed your general partner
that they intend to vote "FOR" the amendment. Accordingly, limited partners
holding an additional 6.37% need to vote FOR the amendment in order for it to
pass.
The enclosed Statement includes a complete discussion of the amendment. We
urge you to read the enclosed Statement carefully and to return your signed
Consent Form as quickly as possible. A postage-paid return envelope has been
included for your convenience. Consent Forms must be received by October 16,
2000, unless extended.
If you have any questions about the enclosed material, please call River

o Eliminate the restriction set forth in your partnership agreement for your
partnership to maintain a reserve equal to 5% of the limited partners

instead permit your general partner to determine reasonable reserve
requirements of your partnership.
o Provide your partnership with greater flexibility in making distributions
to limited partners as the working capital reserve required by your
partnership may be reduced.

best interests of your partnership and the limited partners and recommends that
you vote "FOR" in favor of the amendment.

interest ("Units") in your partnership you own, your general partner recommends

total of 396,772.31 Units representing 43.64% of the total outstanding Units.

with the solicitation and may be contacted at (877) 393-4962.
THE AMENDMENT
Your general partner is seeking the consent of the limited partners to
eliminate the restriction set forth in your partnership agreement which requires
that your partnership maintain a reserve of no less than 5% of the of the
limited partners capital contributions less distributions to limited partners
from participating note payments. At present, this amount is equal to
$5,391,188. In order to effect this amendment, the consent of a majority in
interest of the limited partners is required. Affiliates of your general partner
currently hold a total of 396,772.31 Units representing 43.64% of the total
outstanding Units. Such affiliates have advised your general partner that they
intend to vote FOR the amendment.
Text of the Amendment
Section 4.09 of your partnership agreement currently provides as follows:
"Section 4.09 Reserves. The Partnership shall maintain reasonable
reserves for normal working capital and contingencies in an amount
equal to at least five percent (5%) of Invested Capital. In the
event expenditures are made from this reserve, operating revenue
shall be allocated to such reserve to the extent necessary to
maintain the foregoing level. The General Partners in their sole
discretion may from time to time maintain working capital reserves
of a larger amount, if deemed necessary for Partnership business."
Your general partner is seeking the consent of the limited partners to
adopt an amendment to Section 4.09 so that it would read in its entirety as
follows:
"Section 4.09 Reserves. The Partnership shall maintain reasonable
reserves for normal working capital and contingencies in an amount
determined from time to time by your general partner in it sole
discretion."
Effects of Amendment if Adopted
If the amendment is adopted, your general partner will have the discretion
to maintain your partnership's reserves at such level as it deems advisable as
compared to a fixed minimum amount. If adopted, your general partner intends to
reduce the current reserve amount from $5,391,188 to an amount which it believes
is warranted given the anticipated expenses of your partnership. The amount of
any such reduction will be distributed to your partnership's partners
(including, your general partner, to the extent provided in the partnership
agreement, and to affiliates of your general partner who hold Units).
Although your general partner has not completed its assessment of the
final reserve amount that it believes your partnership should maintain, your
general partner believes that the existing reserve amount is in excess of the
reserve amount needed by your partnership. This
2
<PAGE>
determination was based on past capital needs of your partnership as well as a
preliminary review of past capital expenditures made by Consolidated Capital
Equity Partners/2 ("CCEP/2") at its properties (which properties secure your
partnership's loan receivable from CCEP/2), current operating budgets at
CCEP/2's properties and projected capital improvements required to be made at
CCEP/2's properties in near future.
By eliminating the reserve amount requirement, your partnership will have
greater flexibility when determining whether to make a distribution to its
partners. However, if your partnership requires additional capital in excess of
that currently anticipated and/or the payments received by your partnership from
CCEP/2 were to be significantly reduced, the ability of your partnership to make
such meet such capital needs would be adversely effected. As a result of these
risks, your general partner has determined to maintain a current reserve in an
amount sufficient to satisfy anticipated capital expenditures for the near
future.
Effects if Amendment is not Adopted
If the amendment is not adopted, your partnership will continue to be
subject to the reserve restrictions set forth in Section 4.09 of your
partnership agreement. As a result, your partnership will be required to
maintain a reserve equal to 5% of the of the limited partners capital
contributions less distributions to limited partners from participating note
payments. Furthermore, because your partnership will be required to maintain
this reserve, your partnership's ability to make distributions to the limited
partners will continue to be limited.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENTS
Article XVII of your partnership agreement provides that the limited
partners, by vote of more than 50% of the outstanding Units, shall have the
right to amend your partnership agreement. Article XIV of your partnership
agreement provides that your general partner may seek the consent of limited
partners to any amendment to your partnership agreement requiring the vote of
limited partners. Your general partner hereby solicits the consent of limited
partners to amend your partnership agreement in accordance with the terms of the
amendment set forth above under "THE AMENDMENT-Text of the Amendment".
Limited partners at the close of business on September 1, 2000 (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to one vote for each Unit then held. On the
Record Date, there were 909,123.6 Units outstanding held by 25,028 limited
partners, including 396,772.31 Units (43.64% of the outstanding Units) owned by
affiliates of your general partner.
The amendment will be approved at such time as limited partners holding a
majority of the outstanding Units shall have consented to the amendment but in
no event prior to September 30, 2000. A limited partner must vote all of the
Units held by him in the same way. He cannot vote separate Units held by him in
your partnership in differing ways. A signed Consent Form which is returned
without a vote will be deemed a "FOR" vote.
Each limited partner is requested to complete and execute the enclosed
Consent Form in accordance with the instructions contained therein and to return
the Consent Form in the enclosed, self-addressed, postage pre-paid envelope as
soon as possible, but in no event later
3
<PAGE>
than October 16, 2000. Such date may be extended from time to time in the sole
discretion of your general partner until November 13, 2000.
A Consent Form may only be revoked by delivery to your partnership of a
later-dated Consent Form in the form enclosed or a dated and executed revocation
that specifically refers to the Consent Form to be revoked. To be effective,
such revocation must be received by your partnership prior to the time that
signed unrevoked Consent Forms voting in favor of the amendment and representing
a majority of the Units outstanding have been delivered to your general
partners.
The amendment will apply prospectively from and after the date it becomes
effective. All limited partners will be bound by the amendment, if it becomes
effective, whether or not they vote in favor of the amendment.
