OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
IS OFFERING TO PURCHASE UP TO 292.26 UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST IN
DAVIDSON DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE I
FOR $649.00 PER UNIT IN CASH
We will only accept a maximum of 292.26 units in response to our offer. If more
units are tendered to us, we will generally accept units on a pro rata basis
according to the number of units tendered by each person.
We will pay for accepted units promptly after expiration of the offer.
Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions subsequently made by your
partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.
Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on August 27, 1999, unless we extend the deadline.
YOU WILL NOT PAY ANY FEES OR COMMISSIONS IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS.
Our offer is subject to a minimum of 35% of the units being tendered.
SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 1 OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR A
DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH OUR
OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
o We determined the offer price of $649.00 per unit without any
arms-length negotiations. Accordingly, our offer price may not reflect
the fair market value of your units.
o While secondary sales activity in the units of your partnership has been
limited to and sporadic, sales prices for units in your partnership
ranged from $120 to $8,000 since July 1, 1997.
o As of June 30, 1998, your general partner (which is our subsidiary)
estimated the net asset value of your units to be $7,552 per unit and an
affiliate estimated the net liquidation value of your units to be
$6,749.46 per unit.
o Although your partnership's agreement of limited partnership provides
for termination in the year 2007, the prospectus pursuant to which the
units were sold in November 1983 indicated that the properties owned by
your partnership might be sold within 3 to 7 years of their acquisition
if conditions permitted.
o Your general partner and the property manager of the residential
properties are subsidiaries of ours and, therefore, the general partner
has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer.
o We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and, therefore,
there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low
price and your desire to sell your units at a high price.
o Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates
continuing to receive management fees from your partnership. Such fees
would not be payable if your partnership was liquidated.
o It is possible that we may conduct a subsequent offer at a higher price.
o For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future
distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a
sale or refinancing of properties owned by your partnership.
<PAGE> 2
o If we acquire a substantial number of units, we will increase our
ability to influence voting decisions with respect to your partnership
and may control such voting decisions, including but not limited to the
removal of the general partner, most amendments to the partnership
agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's
assets.
If you desire to accept our offer, you should complete and sign the letter
of transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and mail or deliver
the signed letter of transmittal and any other required documents to River Oaks
Partnership Services, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in connection
with our offer, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this
offer to purchase. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL
COPIES OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE OR THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MAY ALSO BE
DIRECTED TO THE INFORMATION AGENT AT (888) 349-2005.

INTRODUCTION
We are offering to purchase up to 292.26 units, representing approximately
38.89% of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest in your
partnership, for the purchase price of $649.00 per unit, net to the seller in
cash, without interest, less the amount of distributions, if any, made by your
partnership in respect of any unit from the date hereof until the expiration
date. Our offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this offer to purchase and in the accompanying letter of transmittal.
If you tender your units in response to our offer you will not be obligated
to pay any commissions or partnership transfer fees but will be obligated to pay
any transfer taxes (see Instruction 8 to the letter of transmittal). We have
retained River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc. to act as the Information Agent
in connection with our offer. We will pay all charges and expenses in connection
with the services of the Information Agent. The offer is conditioned on a
minimum of 35% of the units being tendered. However, certain other conditions do
apply. See "The Offer -- Section 17." You may tender all or any portion of the
units that you own. Under no circumstances will we be required to accept any
unit if the transfer of that unit to us would be prohibited by the agreement of
limited partnership of your partnership.
Our offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 1999,
unless extended. If you desire to accept our offer, you must complete and sign
the letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions contained therein
and forward or hand deliver it, together with any other required documents, to
the Information Agent. You may withdraw your tender of units pursuant to the
offer at any time prior to the expiration date of our offer and, if we have not
accepted such units for payment, on or after September 30, 1999.
We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Together with
our subsidiaries, we conduct substantially all of the operations of Apartment
Investment and Management Company, or AIMCO. AIMCO is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership, acquisition,
development, expansion and management of multifamily apartment properties. As of
March 31, 1999, AIMCO owned or managed 373,409 apartment units in 2,071
properties located in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
AIMCO's Class A Common Stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "AIV."
As a result of our October 1, 1998 merger with Insignia Financial Group,
Inc. and our February 26, 1999 merger with Insignia Properties Trust, we
acquired a 100% ownership interest in the general partner of your partnership
and the company that manages the residential properties owned by your
partnership.
RISK FACTORS
Before deciding whether or not to tender any of your units, you should
consider carefully the following risks and disadvantages of the offer:
NO THIRD PARTY VALUATION OR APPRAISAL; NO ARMS-LENGTH NEGOTIATION
We did not base our valuation of the properties owned by your partnership on
any third-party appraisal or valuation. We established the terms of our offer
without any arms-length negotiation. The terms of the offer could differ if they
were subject to independent third party negotiations. It is uncertain whether
our offer price reflects the value which would be realized upon a sale of your
units to a third party.
NO FAIRNESS OPINION FROM A THIRD PARTY
We did not obtain an opinion from a third party that our offer price is fair
from a financial point of view.
OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT FAIR MARKET VALUE
There is no established or regular trading market for your units, nor is
there another reliable standard for determining the fair market value of the
units. Our offer price does not necessarily reflect the price that you would
receive in an open market for your
4
<PAGE> 5
units. Such prices could be higher than our offer price.
OFFER PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT FUTURE PROSPECTS
Our offer price is based on your partnership's historical property income.
It does not ascribe any value to potential future improvements in the operating
performance of your partnership's residential properties.
OFFER PRICE BASED ON OUR ESTIMATE OF LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS
The offer price represents only our estimate of the amount you would receive
if we liquidated the partnership. In determining the liquidation value, we used
the direct capitalization method to estimate the value of your partnership's
residential properties because we think a prospective purchaser of the
properties would value the properties using this method. In doing so, we applied
a capitalization rate to your partnership's property income for the year ended
December 31, 1998. If property income for a different period or a different
capitalization rate was used, a higher valuation could result. Other methods of
valuing your units could also result in a higher valuation.
OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT LIQUIDATION VALUE
The actual proceeds obtained from a liquidation are highly uncertain and
could be more than our estimate. Accordingly, our offer price could be less than
the net proceeds that you would realize upon an actual liquidation of your
partnership.
CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; NO TIME FRAME REGARDING SALE OF PROPERTIES
Your general partner (which is our subsidiary) is proposing to continue to
operate your partnership and not to attempt to liquidate it at the present time.
Thus, our offer does not satisfy any expectation that you would receive the
return of your investment in the partnership through a sale of any property. It
is not known when the residential properties owned by your partnership may be
sold. There may be no way to liquidate your investment in the partnership in the
future until the residential properties are sold and the partnership is
liquidated. The general partner of your partnership continually considers
whether a property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after consideration
of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, availability of
favorable financing and tax considerations, with a view to achieving maximum
capital appreciation for your partnership. At the current time the general
partner of your partnership believes that a sale of the residential properties
would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition of the
properties and tax considerations. In particular, the general partner considered
the changes in the local rental market, the potential for appreciation in the
value of the properties and the tax consequences to you and your partners on a
sale of the properties. We cannot predict when any property will be sold or
otherwise disposed of.
HOLDING UNITS MAY RESULT IN GREATER FUTURE VALUE
You might receive more value if you retain your units until your partnership
is liquidated.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER
The general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary and, therefore,
has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. We are making
this offer with a view to making a profit. There is a conflict between our
desire to purchase your units at a low price and your desire to sell your units
at a high price. We determined our offer price without negotiation with any
other party, including any general or limited partner.
NO GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDATION
The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to
whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Although the
general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make your own decision
whether or not to participate in the offer, based upon a number of factors,
including your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, other
financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax
consequences to you of selling your units.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RELATING TO MANAGEMENT FEES
5
<PAGE> 6
Since our subsidiaries receive fees for managing your partnership and its
residential properties, a conflict of interest exists between our continuing the
partnership and receiving such fees, and the liquidation of the partnership and
the termination of such fees. Another conflict is the fact that a decision of
the limited partners of your partnership to remove, for any reason, the general
partner of your partnership or the property manager of any residential property
owned by your partnership would result in a decrease or elimination of the
substantial fees paid to them for services provided to your partnership.
POSSIBLE SUBSEQUENT OFFER AT A HIGHER PRICE
It is possible that we may conduct a subsequent offer at a higher price.
Such a decision will depend on, among other things, the performance of the
partnership, prevailing economic conditions, and our interest in acquiring
additional limited partnership interests.
RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE GAIN ON A SALE OF YOUR UNITS
Your sale of units for cash will be a taxable sale, with the result that you
will recognize taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between the
amount realized on the sale and your adjusted tax basis in the units of limited
partnership interest of your partnership you transfer to us. The "amount
realized" with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest of your
partnership you transfer to us will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash
received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of
partnership liabilities allocable to the unit. The particular tax consequences
for you of our offer will depend upon a number of factors related to your tax
situation, including your tax basis in your units of limited partnership
interest of your partnership you transfer to us, whether you dispose of all of
your units and whether you have available suspended passive losses, credits or
other tax items to offset any gain recognized as a result of your sale of your
units of limited partnership interest of your partnership. Therefore, depending
on your basis in the units and your tax position, your taxable gain and any tax
liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer could
exceed our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering units
will not be the same for everyone, you should consult your own tax advisor to
determine the tax consequences of the offer to you.
LOSS OF FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM YOUR PARTNERSHIP
If you tender your units in response to our offer, you will transfer to us
all right, title and interest in and to all of the units we accept, and the
right to receive all distributions in respect of such units on and after the
date on which we accept such units for purchase. Accordingly, for any units that
we acquire from you, you will not receive any future distributions from
operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale or refinancing of
properties owned by your partnership.
POSSIBLE INCREASE IN CONTROL OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP BY US
Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership are
the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of your
partnership is our affiliate, we control the management of your partnership.
Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited partners
holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain extraordinary
transactions, including the removal of the general partner, the addition of a
new general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale
of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. If we acquire all the
units we are tendering for we will own a majority of the outstanding units and
will have the ability to control any vote of the limited partners.
RECOGNITION OF GAIN RESULTING FROM POSSIBLE FUTURE REDUCTION IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP
LIABILITIES
Generally, a decrease in your share of partnership liabilities is treated,
for Federal income tax purposes, as a deemed cash distribution. Although no
general partner of your partnership has any current plan or intention to reduce
the liabilities of your partnership, it is possible that future economic,
market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause a general partner to reduce
the liabilities of your partnership. If you retain all or a portion of your
units of limited partnership interest, and the liabilities of your partnership
were to be reduced, you will be treated as receiving a hypothetical distribution
of cash resulting from a decrease in your share of the liabilities of the
partnership. Any such hypothetical distribution of cash would be treated as a
nontaxable return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in your
units and thereafter as gain.
RISK OF INABILITY TO TRANSFER UNITS FOR 12-MONTH PERIOD
6
<PAGE> 7
Your partnership's agreement of limited partnership prohibits any
transfer of an interest if such transfer, together with all other transfers
during the preceding 12 months, would cause 50% or more of the total interest in
capital and profits of your partnership to be transferred within such 12-month
period. If we acquire a significant percentage of the interest in your
partnership, you may not be able to transfer your units for a 12-month period
following our offer.

<PAGE> 8
POTENTIAL DELAY IN PAYMENT
We reserve the right to extend the period of time during which our offer is
open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of any tendered units. The offer
may be extended indefinitely and no payment will be made in respect of rendered
units until the expiration of the offer and acceptance of units for payment.
BALLOON PAYMENT
Your partnership has approximately a $9,493,000 of balloon payments due on
its mortgage debt between November 2002 and December 2004. Your partnership will
have to refinance such debt or sell its properties prior to the balloon payment
dates, or it will be in default and could lose the properties to foreclosure.

THE OFFER
SECTION 1. TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE; PRORATION.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will accept
(and thereby purchase) up to 292.26 units that are validly tendered on or prior
to the expiration date and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set
forth in "The Offer -- Section 4." For purposes of the offer, the term
"expiration date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 1999,
unless we in our sole discretion shall have extended the period of time for
which the offer is open, in which event the term "expiration date" shall mean
the latest time and date on which the offer, as extended by us, shall expire.
See "The Offer -- Section 5" for a description of our right to extend the period
of time during which the offer is open and to amend or terminate the offer.
The purchase price per unit will automatically be reduced by the aggregate
amount of distributions per unit, if any, made by your partnership to you on or
after the commencement of our offer and prior to the date on which we acquire
your units pursuant to our offer.
If, prior to the expiration date, we increase the consideration offered to
limited partners pursuant to the offer, the increased consideration will be paid
for all units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, whether or not the
units were tendered prior to the increase in consideration.
If more than 292.26 units are validly tendered prior to the expiration date
and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date in accordance with the
procedures specified in Section 4, we will, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the offer, accept for payment and pay for an aggregate of 292.26
of the units so tendered, pro rata according to the number of units validly
tendered by each limited partner and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the
expiration date, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional
units. If the number of units validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on or
prior to the expiration date is less than or equal to 292.26 units, we will
purchase all units so tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the offer.
If proration of tendered units is required, then, subject to our obligation
under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") to pay limited partners the purchase price in respect of units tendered or
return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer, we do
not intend to pay for any units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer until
the final proration results are known. Notwithstanding any such delay in
payment, no interest will be paid on the cash offer price.
The offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. THE OFFER IS
CONDITIONED UPON A MINIMUM OF 35% OF THE UNITS BEING TENDERED. See "The Offer --
Section 17," which sets forth in full the conditions of the offer. We reserve
the right (but in no event shall we be obligated), in our reasonable discretion,
to waive any or all of those conditions. If, on or prior to the expiration date,
any or all of the conditions have not been satisfied or waived, we reserve the
right to (i) decline to purchase any of the units tendered, terminate the offer
and return all tendered units to tendering limited partners, (ii) waive all the
unsatisfied conditions and purchase all units validly tendered, (iii) extend the
offer and, subject to the withdrawal rights of limited partners, retain the
units that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the offer
is extended, or (iv) amend the offer. The transfer of units will be effective
May 1, 1999.
This offer is being mailed to the persons shown by your partnership's
records to have been limited partners or, in the case of units owned of record
by Individual Retirement Accounts and qualified plans, beneficial owners of
units, as of July 30, 1999.
SECTION 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will purchase,
by accepting for payment, and will pay for, up to 292.26 units validly tendered
as promptly as practicable following the expiration date. A tendering beneficial
owner of units whose units are owned of record by an Individual Retirement
Account or other qualified plan will not receive direct payment of the offer
price; rather, payment will be made to the custodian of such account or plan. In
all cases, payment for units purchased pursuant to the offer will be made only
after timely receipt by the Information Agent of a properly completed and duly
executed letter of transmittal and other documents required by the letter of
transmittal. See "The Offer -- Section 3." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST
BE PAID ON THE OFFER PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT.
9
<PAGE> 10
We will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, accept
for payment and pay for up to 292.26 units, with appropriate adjustments to
avoid purchases that would violate the agreement of limited partnership of your
partnership and any relevant procedures or regulations promulgated by the
general partner. Accordingly, in some circumstances, we may accept an assignment
of your right to receive distributions and other payments in respect of the
units and defer, perhaps indefinitely, the transfer of ownership of units on the
partnership books.
For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment
pursuant to the offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered units, if, as and
when we give verbal or written notice to the Information Agent of our acceptance
of those units for payment pursuant to the offer. Payment for units accepted for
payment pursuant to the offer will be made through the Information Agent, which
will act as agent for tendering limited partners for the purpose of receiving
cash payments from us and transmitting cash payments to tendering limited
partners.
If any tendered units are not accepted for payment by us for any reason, the
letter of transmittal with respect to such units not purchased may be destroyed
by us or the Information Agent. If, for any reason, acceptance for payment of,
or payment for, any units tendered pursuant to the offer is delayed or we are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for units tendered pursuant to the
offer, then, without prejudice to our rights under "The Offer -- Section 17,"
the Information Agent may, nevertheless, on our behalf retain tendered units,
and those units may not be withdrawn except to the extent that the tendering
limited partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in "The Offer --
Section 4;" subject, however, to our obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the
Exchange Act, to pay you the offer price in respect of units tendered or return
those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer.
We reserve the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, to one or
more of our affiliates, the right to purchase units tendered pursuant to the
offer, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve us of our obligations
under the offer or prejudice your rights to receive payment for units validly
tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer.
SECTION 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.
Valid Tender. To validly tender units pursuant to the offer, a properly
completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents
required by such letter of transmittal must be received by the Information
Agent, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this offer to
purchase, on or prior to the expiration date. You may tender all or any portion
of your units. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be
accepted.
Signature Requirements. If the letter of transmittal is signed by the
registered holder of a unit and payment is to be made directly to that holder,
then no signature guarantee is required on the letter of transmittal. Similarly,
if a unit is tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national
securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and loan
association or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the United
States (each an "Eligible Institution"), no signature guarantee is required on
the letter of transmittal. However, in all other cases, all signatures on the
letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
In order for you to tender in the offer, your units must be validly tendered
and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS IS AT YOUR OPTION AND RISK AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN
ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE INFORMATION AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED
MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Appointment as Proxy; Power of Attorney. By executing the letter of
transmittal, you are irrevocably appointing us and our designees as your proxy,
in the manner set forth in the letter of transmittal, each with full power of
substitution, to the fullest extent of the your rights with respect to the units
tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Each such proxy shall be
considered coupled with an interest in the tendered units. Such appointment will
be effective when, and only to the extent that, we accept the tendered unit for
payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by you with
respect to the units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent
proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). We and our designees
will, as to those units, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights as
a limited partner as we, in our sole discretion, may deem
10
<PAGE> 11
proper at any meeting of limited partners, by written consent or otherwise. We
reserve the right to require that, in order for units to be deemed validly
tendered, immediately upon our acceptance for payment for the units, we must be
able to exercise full voting rights with respect to the units, including voting
at any meeting of limited partners then scheduled or acting by written consent
without a meeting. By executing the letter of transmittal, you agree to execute
all such documents and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required
to enable the units tendered to be voted in accordance with our directions. The
proxy and power of attorney granted by you to us upon your execution of the
letter of transmittal will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of our offer.
By executing the letter of transmittal, you also irrevocably constitute and
appoint us and our managers and designees as your attorneys-in-fact, each with
full power of substitution, to the full extent of your rights with respect to
the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Such appointment will
be effective when, and only to the extent that, we pay for your units. You agree
not to exercise any rights pertaining to the tendered units without our prior
consent. Upon such payment, all prior powers of attorney granted by you with
respect to such units will, without further action, be revoked, and no
subsequent powers of attorney may be granted (and if granted will not be
effective). Pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, we and our
managers and designees each will have the power, among other things, (i) to
transfer ownership of such units on the partnership books maintained by your
general partner (and execute and deliver any accompanying evidences of transfer
and authenticity it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection therewith),
(ii) upon receipt by the Information Agent of the offer consideration, to become
a substituted limited partner, to receive any and all distributions made by your
partnership on or after the date on which we acquire such units, and to receive
all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such
units in accordance with the terms of our offer, (iii) to execute and deliver to
the general partner of your partnership a change of address form instructing the
general partner to send any and all future distributions to which we are
entitled pursuant to the terms of the offer in respect of tendered units to the
address specified in such form, and (iv) to endorse any check payable to you or
upon your order representing a distribution to which we are entitled pursuant to
the terms of our offer, in each case, in your name and on your behalf.
Assignment of Interest in Future Distributions. By executing the letter of
transmittal, you will irrevocably assign to us and our assigns all of your
right, title and interest in and to any and all distributions made by your
partnership from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation,
distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets,
distributions upon liquidation, winding-up, or dissolution, payments in
settlement of existing or future litigation, and all other distributions and
payments from and after the expiration date of our offer, in respect of the
units tendered by you and accepted for payment and thereby purchased by us. If,
after the unit is accepted for payment and purchased by us, you receive any
distribution from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation,
distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets,
distributions upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, payments in
settlement of existing or future litigation and all other distributions and
payments, from your partnership in respect of such unit, you will agree to
forward promptly such distribution to us.
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No
Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of units pursuant to our offer will be determined by us, in our reasonable
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We
reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any particular unit
determined by us not to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for
that unit may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the
absolute right to waive or amend any of the conditions of the offer that we are
legally permitted to waive as to the tender of any particular unit and to waive
any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular unit of
any particular limited partner. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions
of the offer (including the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on
all parties. No tender of units will be deemed to have been validly made unless
and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither us,
the Information Agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any unit or will
incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible application
of back-up Federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to payment of the
offer price, you may have to provide us with your correct taxpayer
identification number. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal and
"The Offer -- Section 6."
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of Federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition (the amount
realized is generally the offer price plus the partnership liabilities allocable
to each unit purchased), you must certify that you are not a foreign person if
you tender units. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal and "The
Offer -- Section 6."
11
<PAGE> 12
Transfer Taxes. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the
registered holder of units or any person) payable on account of the transfer to
such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory
evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.
Binding Agreement. A tender of a unit pursuant to any of the procedures
described above and the acceptance for payment of such unit will constitute a
binding agreement between the tendering unitholder and us on the terms set forth
in this offer to purchase and the related letter of transmittal.
SECTION 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.
You may withdraw tendered units at any time prior to the expiration date or
on or after September 30, 1999, if the units have not been previously accepted
for payment.
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be
timely received by the Information Agent at one of its addresses set forth on
the back cover of the offer to purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must
specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of units to be withdrawn
and the name of the registered holder of such units, if different from the
person who tendered. In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by the
person who signed the letter of transmittal in the same manner as the letter of
transmittal was signed.
If purchase of, or payment for, a unit is delayed for any reason, or if we
are unable to purchase or pay for a unit for any reason, then, without prejudice
to our rights under the offer, tendered units may be retained by the Information
Agent; subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the
Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units tendered or return
those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of our offer.
Any units properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been
validly tendered for purposes of our offer. However, withdrawn units may be
re-tendered at any time prior to the expiration date by following the procedures
described in "The Offer -- Section 3."
All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt) of
notices of withdrawal will be determined by us in our reasonable discretion,
which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Neither we, the
Information Agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or
incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
SECTION 5. EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT.
We expressly reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, at any time
and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which our offer
is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any unit,
(ii) to terminate the offer and not accept any units not theretofore accepted
for payment or paid for if any of the conditions to the offer are not satisfied
or if any event occurs that might reasonably be expected to result in a failure
to satisfy such conditions, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions
specified in "The Offer -- Section 17," to delay the acceptance for payment of,
or payment for, any units not already accepted for payment or paid for, and (iv)
to amend our offer in any respect (including, without limitation, by increasing
the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing the units being sought, or
both). Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will promptly be
disseminated to you in a manner reasonably designed to inform you of such
change. In the case of an extension of the offer, the extension will be followed
by a press release or public announcement which will be issued no later than
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the scheduled
expiration date of our offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) under the
Exchange Act.
If we extend the offer, or if we delay payment for a unit (whether before or
after its acceptance for payment) or are unable to pay for a unit pursuant to
our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer,
the Information Agent may retain tendered units and those units may not be
withdrawn except to the extent tendering unitholders are entitled to withdrawal
rights as described in "The Offer -- Section 4;" subject, however, to our
obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer
price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after
termination or withdrawal of the offer.
12
<PAGE> 13
If we make a material change in the terms of our offer, or if we waive a
material condition to our offer, we will extend the offer and disseminate
additional tender offer materials to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act. The minimum period during which the offer must remain open
following any material change in the terms of the offer, other than a change in
price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's
soliciting fee, if any, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including
the materiality of the change. With respect to a change in price or, subject to
certain limitations, a change in the percentage of securities sought or a change
in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, a minimum of ten business days from the
date of such change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to
unitholders. Accordingly, if prior to the expiration date, we increase (other
than increases of not more than two percent of the outstanding units) or
decrease the number of units being sought, or increase or decrease the offer
price, and if the offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the
tenth business day after the date that notice of such increase or decrease is
first published, sent or given to unitholders, the offer will be extended at
least until the expiration of such ten business days. As used in the offer to
purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a
Federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, New York City time.
SECTION 6. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.
The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the United
States federal income tax consequences of the offer that may be relevant to (i)
unitholders who tender some or all of their units for cash pursuant to our
offer, and (ii) unitholders who do not tender any of their units pursuant to our
offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Internal Revenue Code"), Treasury regulations, rulings issued by the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and judicial decisions, all as of the date
of this offer to purchase. All of the foregoing are subject to change or
alternative construction, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change
or alternative construction could affect the continuing accuracy of this
summary. This summary is based on the assumption that your partnership is
operated in accordance with its organizational documents including its
certificate of limited partnership and agreement of limited partnership. This
summary is for general information only and does not purport to discuss all
aspects of United States federal income taxation which may be important to a
particular person in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to certain
types of investors subject to special tax rules (including financial
institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and, except to the extent
discussed below, tax-exempt organizations and foreign investors, as determined
for United States federal income tax purposes), nor (except as otherwise
expressly indicated) does it describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or
other tax laws. This summary assumes that the units constitute capital assets in
the hands of the unitholders (generally, property held for investment). No
advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter
discussed in this offer to purchase. Further, no opinion of counsel has been
obtained with regard to the offer.
THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF A UNITHOLDER PARTICIPATING
IN THE OFFER DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND
INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW
FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU
SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE,
LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SELLING THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTED BY UNITS PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER OR OF A DECISION
NOT TO SELL IN LIGHT OF YOUR SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION.
Tax Consequences to Limited Partners Tendering Units for Cash. You will
recognize gain or loss on a sale of a unit of limited partnership of your
partnership equal to the difference between (i) your "amount realized" on the
sale and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the unit sold. The "amount realized"
with respect to a unit of limited partnership of your partnership will be equal
to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to
the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable to the unit (as
determined under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code). Thus, your taxable
gain and tax liability resulting from a sale of a unit of limited partnership of
your partnership could exceed the cash received upon such sale.
Adjusted Tax Basis. If you acquired your units of limited partnership of
your partnership for cash, your initial tax basis in such units was generally
equal to your cash investment in your partnership increased by your share of
partnership liabilities at the time you acquired such units. Your initial tax
basis generally has been increased by (i) your share of partnership income and
gains, and (ii) any increases in your share of partnership liabilities, and has
been decreased (but not below zero) by (i) your share of partnership cash
distributions, (ii) any decreases in your share of partnership liabilities,
(iii) your share of partnership losses, and (iv) your share of nondeductible
partnership expenditures that are not chargeable to capital. For purposes of
determining your adjusted tax basis in units of limited partnership of your
partnership immediately prior to a disposition of your units, your adjusted tax
basis in your units will include your allocable share of partnership income,
gain or loss for the taxable year of disposition. If your adjusted tax basis is
less than your share of partnership liabilities (e.g., as a result of the effect
of net loss allocations and/or distributions exceeding the cost of your unit),
your gain recognized with respect to a unit of limited partnership of your
partnership pursuant to the offer will exceed the cash proceeds realized upon
the sale of such unit.
13
<PAGE> 14
Character of Gain or Loss Recognized Pursuant to the Offer. Except as
described below, the gain or loss recognized by you on a sale of a unit of
limited partnership of your partnership pursuant to the offer generally will be
treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if you held the unit for more than
one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other
noncorporate taxpayers generally will be subject to a maximum United States
federal income tax rate of 20%. If the amount realized with respect to a unit of
limited partnership of your partnership that is attributable to your share of
"unrealized receivables" of your partnership exceeds the tax basis attributable
to those assets, such excess will be treated as ordinary income. Among other
things, "unrealized receivables" include depreciation recapture for certain
types of property. In addition, the maximum United States federal income tax
rate applicable to persons who are noncorporate taxpayers for net capital gains
attributable to the sale of depreciable real property (which may be determined
to include an interest in a partnership such as your units) held for more than
one year is currently 25% (rather than 20%) with respect to that portion of the
gain attributable to depreciation deductions previously taken on the property.
If you tender a unit of limited partnership interest of your partnership in
the offer, you will be allocated a share of partnership taxable income or loss
for the year of tender with respect to any units sold. You will not receive any
future distributions on units of limited partnership interest of your
partnership tendered on or after the date on which such units are accepted for
purchase and, accordingly, you may not receive any distributions with respect to
such accreted income. Such allocation and any partnership cash distributions to
you for that year will affect your adjusted tax basis in your unit of limited
partnership interest of your partnership and, therefore, the amount of your
taxable gain or loss upon a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer.
Passive Activity Losses. The passive activity loss rules of the Internal
Revenue Code limit the use of losses derived from passive activities, which
generally include investments in limited partnership interests such as the units
of limited partnership interest of your partnership. An individual, as well as
certain other types of investors, generally cannot use losses from passive
activities to offset nonpassive activity income received during the taxable
year. Passive losses that are disallowed for a particular tax year are
"suspended" and may be carried forward to offset passive activity income earned
by the investor in future taxable years. In addition, such suspended losses may
be claimed as a deduction, subject to other applicable limitations, upon a
taxable disposition of the investor's interest in such activity.
Accordingly, if your investment in your units is treated as a passive
activity, you may be able to reduce gain from the sale of your units of limited
partnership interest of your partnership pursuant to the offer with passive
losses in the manner described below. If you sell all or a portion of your units
of limited partnership interest of your partnership pursuant to the offer and
recognize a gain on your sale, you will generally be entitled to use your
current and "suspended" passive activity losses (if any) from your partnership
and other passive sources to offset that gain. In general, if you sell all or a
portion of your units of limited partnership interest of your partnership
pursuant to the offer and recognize a loss on such sale, you will be entitled to
deduct that loss currently (subject to other applicable limitations) against the
sum of your passive activity income from your partnership for that year (if any)
plus any passive activity income from other sources for that year. If you sell
all of your units pursuant to the offer, the balance of any "suspended" losses
from your partnership that were not otherwise utilized against passive activity
income as described in the two preceding sentences will generally no longer be
suspended and will generally therefore be deductible (subject to any other
applicable limitations) by you against any other income for that year,
regardless of the character of that income. You are urged to consult your tax
advisor concerning whether, and the extent to which, you have available
"suspended" passive activity losses from your partnership or other investments
that may be used to reduce gain from the sale of units pursuant to the offer.
Information Reporting, Backup Withholding and FIRPTA. If you tender any
units, you must report the transaction by filing a statement with your United
States federal income tax return for the year of the tender which provides
certain required information to the IRS. To prevent the possible application of
back-up United States federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to the
payment of the offer consideration, you are generally required to provide us
with your correct taxpayer identification number. See the instructions to the
letter of transmittal.
Gain realized by a foreign person on the sale of a unit pursuant to the
offer will be subject to United States federal income tax under the Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980. Under these provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code, the transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in
a partnership which owns United States real property generally is required to
deduct and withhold 10% of the amount realized on the disposition. Amounts
withheld would be creditable against a foreign person's United States federal
income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund could be claimed from
the Internal Revenue Service by filing a United States income tax return. See
the instructions to the letter of transmittal.

<PAGE> 15
Tax Consequences to Non-Tendering and Partially-Tendering Limited Partners.
Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if there is a sale or
exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in capital and profits of a
partnership within any 12-month period, such partnership terminates for United
States federal income tax purposes. It is possible that our acquisition of units
pursuant to the offer alone or in combinations with other transfers or interests
in your partnership could result in such a termination of your partnership. If
your partnership is deemed to terminate for tax purposes, the following United
States federal income tax events will be deemed to occur: the terminated
partnership will be deemed to have contributed all of its assets (subject to its
liabilities) to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new
partnership and, immediately thereafter, the old partnership will be deemed to
have distributed interests in the new partnership to the remaining limited
partners in proportion to their respective interests in the old partnership in
liquidation of the old partnership.
A remaining limited partner will generally not recognize any gain or loss
upon the deemed distribution or upon the deemed contribution and the capital
accounts of the remaining limited partners in the old partnership will carry
over intact into the new partnership. A termination may change (and possibly
shorten) a remaining partner's holding period with respect to its retained units
in your partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.
The new partnership's adjusted tax basis in its assets will be the same as
the old partnership's basis in such assets immediately before the termination. A
termination may also subject the assets of the new partnership to depreciable
lives in excess of those currently applicable to the old partnership. This would
generally decrease the annual average depreciation deductions allocable to the
remaining limited partners for a number of years following consummation of the
offer (thereby increasing the taxable income allocable to their units in each
such year), but would have no effect on the total depreciation deductions
available over the useful lives of the assets of your partnership.
Elections as to certain tax matters previously made by the old partnership
prior to termination will not be applicable to the new partnership unless the
new partnership chooses to make the same elections.
Additionally, upon a termination for tax purposes, the old partnership's
taxable year will close for all limited partners. In the case of a remaining
limited partner or a partially tendering limited partner reporting on a tax year
other than a calendar year, the closing of the partnership's taxable year may
result in more than 12 months' taxable income or loss of the old partnership
being includible in such limited partner's taxable income for the year of
termination.
SECTION 7. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.
Future Control by AIMCO. Because the general partner of your partnership is
our subsidiary, we have control over the management of your partnership. If we
are successful in acquiring more than 37.41% of the units pursuant to the offer,
we will own in excess of 50% of the total outstanding units and, as a result,
will be able to control the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to your
partnership. Even if we acquire a lesser number of units pursuant to the offer,
however, because we currently own approximately 13.59% of the outstanding
limited partnership units, we will be able to significantly influence the
outcome of all voting decisions with respect to your partnership. In general, we
will vote the units owned by us in whatever manner we deem to be in our best
interests, which may not be in the interest of other limited partners. This
could (1) prevent non-tendering limited partners from taking action they desire
but that we oppose and (2) enable us to take action desired by us but opposed by
non-tendering limited partners. We also own the company that manages the
residential properties owned by your partnership. In the event that we acquire a
substantial number of units pursuant to the offer, removal of a property manager
may become more difficult or impossible.
Distributions to Us. If we acquire units in the offer, we will participate
in any subsequent distributions to limited partners to the extent of the units
purchased.
Partnership Status. We believe our purchase of units should not adversely
affect the issue of whether your partnership is classified as a partnership for
Federal income tax purposes.
Business. Our offer will not affect the operation of the properties owned by
your partnership. We will continue to control the general partner of your
partnership and the residential property manager, both of which will remain the
same. Consummation of the offer will not affect your agreement of limited
partnership, the operations of your partnership, the business and properties
owned by your partnership, the management compensation payable to your general
partner or any other matter relating to your partnership,
15
<PAGE> 16
except that it would result in us increasing our ownership of units. We have no
current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the
manager of your partnership's residential properties.
Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If a
substantial number of units are purchased pursuant to the offer, the result will
be a reduction in the number of limited partners in your partnership. In the
case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of
securityholders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and
volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case,
however, there is no established public trading market for the units and,
therefore, we do not believe a reduction in the number of limited partners will
materially further restrict your ability to find purchasers for your units
through secondary market transactions.
The units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which
means, among other things, that your partnership is required to file periodic
reports with the SEC and to comply with the SEC's proxy rules. We do not expect
or intend that consummation of the offer will cause the units to cease to be
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the units were to be held
by fewer than 300 persons, your partnership could apply to de-register the units
under the Exchange Act. Because the units are widely-held, however, we believe
that, even if we purchase the maximum number of units in the offer, the units
will be held of record by more than 300 persons.
SECTION 8. INFORMATION CONCERNING US AND CERTAIN OF OUR AFFILIATES.
We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Together with

SECTION 9. BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER.
General. We are in the business of acquiring direct and indirect interests
in apartment properties such as the properties owned by your partnership. Our
offer provides us with an opportunity to increase our ownership interest in your
partnership's properties while providing you and other investors with an
opportunity to liquidate your current investment.
On October 1, 1998, AIMCO merged (the "Insignia Merger") with Insignia
Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). As a result of the Insignia Merger, AIMCO
acquired approximately 51% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial
interest of Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"). The general partner of your
partnership is a wholly owned subsidiary of IPT. Through the Insignia Merger,
AIMCO also acquired a majority ownership interest in the entity that manages the
residential properties owned by your partnership. On October 31, 1998, IPT and
AIMCO entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 1, 1998,
pursuant to which IPT merged with AIMCO on February 26, 1999 (the "IPT Merger").
Together with its subsidiaries, AIMCO currently owns, in the aggregate,
approximately 13.59% of the outstanding limited partnership units of your
partnership.
One of the reasons we chose to acquire Insignia is that we would be able to
make the tender offers to acquire limited partnership interests of some of the
limited partnerships formerly controlled or managed by Insignia (the "Insignia
Partnerships"). Such offers would provide liquidity for the limited partners of
the Insignia Partnerships, and would provide AIMCO Properties, L.P. with a
larger asset and capital base and increased diversification. As of the date of
this offering, AIMCO Properties, L.P. proposes to make offers to approximately
90 of the Insignia Partnerships, including your partnership.
During our negotiations with Insignia in early 1998, we decided that if the
merger with Insignia were consummated, we could also benefit from making offers
for limited partnership interests in the Insignia Partnerships. While some of
the Insignia Partnerships are public partnerships and information is publicly
available on such partnerships for weighing the benefits of making a tender
offer, many of the partnerships are private partnerships and information about
such partnerships comes principally from the general partner. Our control of the
general partner makes it possible to obtain access to such information. Further,
such control also means that we control the operations of the partnerships and
their properties. Insignia did not propose that we conduct such tender offers,
rather we initiated the offers on our own. We determined in June of 1998 that if
the merger with Insignia were consummated, we would offer to limited partners of
certain of the Insignia Partnerships limited partnership units of AIMCO
Properties, L.P. and/or cash.
Prior Tender Offers. Prior to the Insignia Merger, a number of tender offers
had been made to acquire units of your partnership. On December 15, 1998, Cooper
River Properties L.L.C., then an affiliate of Insignia and now our affiliate,
commenced a tender offer pursuant to which it acquired 126.25 units
(representing approximately 16.80% of the number outstanding) at a cash purchase
price of $2,400 per unit.
We are aware that tender offers may have been made by unaffiliated third
parties to acquire units in your partnership in exchange for cash. We are
unaware of the amounts offered, terms, tendering parties or number of units
involved in these tender offers. In connection with tender offers made by
Insignia affiliates with respect to partnerships for which we are making offers,
some limited partners filed lawsuits. We are not aware of any merger,
consolidation or other combination involving any of the Insignia Partnerships,
or any acquisitions of any of such partnerships or a material amount of the
assets of such partnerships.
Certain Litigation. On March 24, 1998, certain persons claiming to own
limited partner interests in certain of the limited partnerships for which our
subsidiaries act as general partner (including your partnership) filed a
purported class and derivative action in California Superior Court in the County
of San Mateo against AIMCO, Insignia, the general partners of the partnerships,
certain persons and entities who purportedly formerly controlled the general
partners, and additional entities affiliated with and individuals who are
officers, directors and/or principals of several of the defendants. The
complaint contains allegations that, among other things, (i) the defendants
breached fiduciary duties owed to the plaintiffs, or aided and abetted in those
purported breaches, by selling or agreeing to sell their "fiduciary positions"
as stockholders, officers and directors of the general partners for a profit and
retaining said profit rather than distributing it to the plaintiffs; (ii) the
defendants breached fiduciary duties, or aided and abetted in those purported
breaches, by mismanaging the partnerships and misappropriating assets of the
partnerships by (a) manipulating the operations of the partnerships to depress
the trading price of limited partnership units of the partnerships; (b) coercing
and fraudulently inducing unitholders to sell units to certain of the defendants
at depressed prices; and (c) using the voting control obtained by purchasing
units at depressed prices to entrench certain of the defendants' positions of
control over the partnerships; and (iii) the defendants breached their fiduciary
duties to the plaintiffs by (a) selling assets of the partnerships such as
mailing lists of
18
<PAGE> 19
unitholders and (b) causing the general partners to enter into exclusive
arrangements with their affiliates to sell goods and services to the general
partners, the unitholders and tenants of properties owned by the partnerships.
The complaint also alleges that the foregoing allegations constitute violations
of various California securities, corporate and partnership statutes, as well as
conversion and common law fraud. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages, an injunction blocking the sale of control of the general
partners and a court order directing the defendants to discharge their fiduciary
duties to the plaintiffs. On June 25, 1998, the defendants filed motions seeking
dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, plaintiffs have
filed an amended complaint. On October 14, 1998, the AIMCO and Insignia
defendants filed demurrers to the amended complaint. The demurrers (which are
requests to dismiss the action as a matter of law) were heard on February 8,
1999, but no decision has been reached by the Court. While no assurances can be
given, we believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on us.
Alternatives Considered by Your General Partner. Before we commenced this
offer, your general partner (which is our subsidiary) considered a number of
alternative transactions. The following is a brief discussion of the advantages
and disadvantages of the alternatives considered by your general partner.
Liquidation
One alternative would be for the partnership to sell its assets, distribute
the net liquidation proceeds to its partners in accordance with the agreement of
limited partnership, and thereafter dissolve. Partners would be at liberty to
use the net liquidation proceeds after taxes for investment, business, personal
or other purposes, at their option. If your partnership were to sell its assets
and liquidate, you and your partners would not need to rely upon capitalization
of income or other valuation methods to estimate the fair market value of
partnership assets. Instead, such assets would be valued through negotiations
with prospective purchasers (in many cases unrelated third parties).
However, in the opinion of your general partner (which is our subsidiary),
the present time may not be the most desirable time to sell the residential real
estate assets of your partnership in a private transaction, and the proceeds
realized from any such sale would be uncertain. Your general partner believes it
currently is in the best interest of your partnership to continue holding its
residential real estate assets. Although there might be a prepayment penalty of
approximately 1 to 2% of the outstanding balance of the mortgages depending on
when and under what circumstances they are prepaid, such prepayment penalties
are not a significant factor in determining when a property may be sold. See
"The Offer -- Section 13. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership --
Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments."
Continuation of the Partnership Without the Offer
A second alternative would be for your partnership to continue as a separate
legal entity, with its own assets and liabilities and continue to be governed by
its existing agreement of limited partnership, without our offer. A number of
advantages could result from the continued operation of your partnership. Given
improving rental market conditions, the level of distributions might increase
over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties could
improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's properties in a private
transaction at some point in the future a more attractive option than it is
currently. The continuation of your partnership will allow you to continue to
participate in the net income and any increases in revenue of your partnership
and any net proceeds from the sale of any property owned by your partnership.
However, no assurance can be given as to future operating results or as to the
results of any attempts to sell any property owned by your partnership.
There are several risks and disadvantages that result from continuing the
operations of your partnership without our offer. If your partnership were
continue operating as presently structured, your partnership could be forced to
borrow on terms that could result in net losses from operations. In addition,
continuation of your partnership without our offer would deny you and your
partners the benefits of our offer. For example, you would have no opportunity
for liquidity unless you were to sell your units in a private transaction. Any
such sale would likely be at a discount from your pro rata share of the fair
market value of the properties owned by your partnership.
Sale of Assets
Your partnership could sell the properties it owns and not liquidate. Your
general partner (which is our subsidiary) considers the sale of partnership
properties from time to time. However, any such sale would likely be a taxable
transaction and, without a liquidating distribution, would not provide limited
partners with any cash to pay any tax liabilities arising as a result thereof.
19
<PAGE> 20
Alternative Transactions Considered by Us. Before we decided to make our
offer, we considered a number of alternative transactions, including purchasing
some or all of your partnership's properties or merging your partnership with
us. However, both of these alternatives would require a vote of all the limited
partners. If the transaction was approved, all limited partners, including those
who wish to continue to participate in the ownership of your partnership's
properties, would be forced to participate in the transaction. If the
transaction was not approved, all limited partners, including those who would
like to dispose of their investment in your partnership's properties, would be
forced to retain their investment. We also considered an offer to exchange units
in your partnership for units of AIMCO Properties, L.P. However because of the
expense and delay associated with making such an exchange offer, we decided to
make an offer for cash only. In addition, our historical experience has been
that most holders of limited partnership units, when given a choice, prefer
cash.
Determination of Offer Price. In establishing the offer price, we reviewed
certain publicly available information and certain information made available to
us by the general partner (which is our subsidiary) and our other affiliates,
including among other things: (i) the agreement of limited partnership, as
amended to date; (ii) the partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1998; (iii) unaudited results of operations of the
partnership's properties for the period since the beginning of the partnership's
current fiscal year and to date in 1999; (iv) the operating budgets prepared by
the residential property manager with respect to the partnership's properties
for the year ending December 31, 1999; [and (v) tender offer statements,
solicitation/recommendation statements and beneficial ownership reports on
Schedules 14D-1, 14D-9 and 13D. Our determination of the offer price was based
on our review and analysis of the foregoing information, the other financial
information and the analyses concerning the partnership summarized below.
Valuation of Units. We determined our offer price by estimating the value of
each property owned by your partnership, using the direct capitalization method.
This method involves applying a capitalization rate to your partnership's annual
property income. A capitalization rate is a percentage (rate of return),
commonly applied by purchasers of residential real estate to property income to
determine the present value of income property. The lower the capitalization
rate utilized the higher the value produced, and the higher the capitalization
rate utilized the lower the value produced. We used your partnership's property
income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Our method for selecting a
capitalization rate begins with each property being assigned a location and
condition rating (e.g., "A" for excellent, "B" for good, "C" for fair, and "D"
for poor). We then adjust the capitalization rate based on whether the mortgage
debt that the property is subject to bears interest at a rate above or below
7.5% per annum. Generally, for every 0.5% in excess of 7.5%, the capitalization
rate would be increased by 0.25%. The evaluation of a property's location and
condition, and the determination of an appropriate capitalization rate for a
property, is subjective in nature, and others evaluating the same property might
use a different capitalization rate and derive a different property value.
Property income is the difference between the revenues from the property and
related costs and expenses, excluding income derived from sources other than its
regular activities and before income deductions. Income deductions include
interest, income taxes, prior-year adjustments, charges to reserves, write-off
of intangibles, adjustments arising from major changes in accounting methods and
other material and nonrecurring items. In this respect, property income differs
from net income disclosed in the partnership's financial statements, which does
not exclude these income sources and deductions. The following is a
reconciliation of your partnership's property income for the year ended December
31, 1998, to your partnership's net operating income for the same period.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net Income (Loss) $ (184,000)
Other Non-Operating Expense (87,000)
Depreciation 603,000
Interest 832,000
Property Income $1,164,000
</TABLE>
Although the direct capitalization method is a widely accepted way of
valuing real estate, there are a number of other methods available to value real
estate, each of which may result in different valuations of a property. Further,
in applying the direct capitalization method, others may make different
assumptions and obtain different results. The proceeds that you would receive if
you sold your units to someone else or if your partnership were actually
liquidated might be higher than our offer price. We determined our offer price
as follows:
20
<PAGE> 21
o First, we estimated the value of each property owned by your
partnership, using the direct capitalization method. We selected
capitalization rates based on our experience in valuing similar
properties. The lower the capitalization rate applied to a property's
income, the higher its value. We considered local market sales
information for comparable properties, estimated actual capitalization
rates (property income less capital reserves divided by sales price)
and then evaluated each property in light of its relative competitive
position, taking into account property location, occupancy rate,
overall property condition and other relevant factors. We believe that
arms-length purchasers would base their purchase offers on
capitalization rates comparable to those used by us, however there is
no single correct capitalization rate and others might use different
rates. We divided the fiscal 1998 property income by the property's
capitalization rate to derive an estimated gross property value as
described in the following table.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
FISCAL 1998 ESTIMATED
PROPERTY CAPITALIZATION GROSS PROPERTY
PROPERTY INCOME RATE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- -------------- --------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Residential Property $ 919,000 10.50% $ 8,757,000
Commercial Property $ 245,000 12.25% $ 2,000,000
Estimated Total Gross Property Value $ 10,757,000
</TABLE>
o Second, we calculated the value of the equity of your partnership by
adding to the aggregate gross property value of all properties owned
by your partnership, the value of the non-real estate assets of your
partnership, and deducting the liabilities of your partnership,
including mortgage debt and debt owed by your partnership to its
general partner (which is our subsidiary) or its affiliates after
consideration of any applicable subordination provisions affecting
payment of such debt. We deducted from this value certain other costs
including required capital expenditures, deferred maintenance, and
closing costs to derive a net equity value for your partnership of
$488,002. Closing costs, which are estimated to be 5% of the gross
property value, include legal and accounting fees, real property,
transfer taxes, title and escrow costs and broker's fees.
o Third, using this net equity value, we determined the proceeds that
would be paid to holders of units in the event of a liquidation of
your partnership, based on the terms of your partnership's agreement
of limited partnership. Accordingly, 100% of the estimated liquidation
proceeds are assumed to be distributed to holders of units. Our offer
price represents the per unit liquidation proceeds determined in this
manner.

Comparison of Consideration to Alternative Consideration. To assist holders of
units in evaluating the offer, your general partner (which is our subsidiary)
has attempted to compare the offer price against: (a) prices at which the units
have sold in the secondary market; (b) estimates of the value of the units on a
liquidation basis; (c) your general partner's estimate of net asset value; (d)
an affiliate's estimate of net liquidation value; and (e) the recent appraisals
of your partnership's properties. The general partner of your partnership
believes that analyzing the alternatives in terms of estimated value, based upon
currently available data and, where appropriate, reasonable assumptions made in
good faith, establishes a reasonable framework for comparing alternatives. Since
the value of the consideration for alternatives to the offer is dependent upon
varying market conditions, no assurance can be given that the estimated values
reflect the range of possible values.
The results of these comparative analyses are summarized in the following
chart. You should bear in mind that the estimated values assigned to the
alternate forms of consideration are based on a variety of assumptions that have
been made by us. These assumptions relate to, among other things: the operating
results, if any, since December 31, 1998 as to income and expenses of each
property, other projected amounts and the capitalization rates that may be used
by prospective buyers if your partnership assets were to be liquidated.
In addition, these estimates are based upon certain information available to
your general partner (which is our subsidiary) at the time the estimates were
computed, and no assurance can be given that the same conditions analyzed by it
in arriving at the estimates of value would exist at the time of the offer. The
assumptions used have been determined by the general partner of your partnership
in good faith, and, where appropriate, are based upon current and historical
information regarding your partnership and current real estate markets, and have
been highlighted below to the extent critical to the conclusions of the general
partner of your partnership. Actual results may vary from those set forth below
based on numerous factors, including interest rate fluctuations, tax law
changes, supply and demand for similar apartment properties, the manner in which
your partnership's properties are sold and changes in availability of capital to
finance acquisitions of apartment properties.
Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of the
partnership will continue until December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated as
provided in the agreement or by law. Limited partners could, as an alternative
to tendering their units, take a variety of possible actions, including voting
to liquidate the partnership or amending the agreement of limited partnership to
authorize limited partners to cause the partnership to merge with another entity
or engage in a "roll-up" or similar transaction.

Prices on Secondary Market
Secondary market sales information is not a reliable measure of value
because of the lack of any known trades. At present, privately negotiated sales
and sales through intermediaries are the only means which may be available to a
limited partner to liquidate an investment in units (other than our offer)
because the units are not listed or traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ,
on the Electronic Bulletin Board, or in "pink sheets." Secondary sales activity
for the units, including privately negotiated sales, has been limited and
sporadic.
Although the general partner requests and sometimes receives information on
the prices at which units are sold, it does not regularly receive or maintain
information regarding the bid or asked quotations of secondary market makers, if
any. The prices in
22
<PAGE> 23
the table below are based solely on information provided to the general partner
by sellers and buyers of units transferred in sale transactions (i.e., excluding
transactions believed to result from the death of a limited partner, rollover to
an IRA account, establishment of a trust, trustee to trustee transfers,
termination of a benefit plan, distributions from a qualified or nonqualified
plan, uniform gifts to minors, abandonment of units or similar non-sale
transactions). The transfer paperwork submitted to the general partner often
does not include the requested price information or contains conflicting
information as to the actual sales price. Sale prices not reported or disclosed
could exceed the reported prices. According to information obtained from your
general partner (which is our subsidiary) from January 1, 1996 to September 30,
1998, an aggregate of 85.5 units (representing approximately 11.4 % of the total
outstanding units) were transferred (including any tender offers) in sale
transactions. Set forth in the table below are the high and low sales prices of
units for the quarterly periods from January 1, 1996 to September 30, 1998, as

Appraisals
Ashley Woods Apartments was appraised in 1997] by an independent third party
appraiser, Joseph J. Blake & Associates, Inc. (the "Appraiser"), in connection
with a requirement in your partnership's agreement of limited partnership and
not in connection with the offer. According to the appraisal reports, the scope
of the appraisals included an inspection of the properties and an analysis of
the surrounding market. The Appraiser relied principally on the income
capitalization approach to valuation and secondarily on the sales comparison
approach, and represented that its report was prepared in accordance with the
Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of
the Appraisal Institute and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice, and in compliance with the Appraisal Standards set forth in the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (known as
"FIRREA"). The estimated market value of the fee simple estate of the properties
are as follows:
ASHLEY WOODS APARTMENTS $11,750,000
Estimated Liquidation Proceeds
Liquidation value is a measure of the price at which the assets of your
partnership would sell if disposed of in an arms-length transaction between a
willing buyer and your partnership, each having access to relevant information
regarding the historical revenues and expenses of the business. Your general
partner (which is our subsidiary) estimated the liquidation value of units using
the same direct capitalization method and assumptions as we did in valuing the
units for the offer price. The liquidation analysis also assumed that your
partnership's properties were sold to an independent third-party buyer at the
current property value and that other balance sheet assets (excluding amortizing
assets) and liabilities of your partnership were sold at their book value, and
that the net proceeds of sale were allocated to your partners in accordance with
your partnership's agreement of limited partnership.
The liquidation analysis assumes that the assets of your partnership are
sold in a single transaction. Should the assets be liquidated over time, even at
prices equal to those projected, distributions to limited partners from cash
flow from operations might be reduced because your partnership's relatively
fixed costs, such as general and administrative expenses, are not
proportionately reduced with the liquidation of assets. However, for
simplification purposes, the sales of the assets are assumed to occur
concurrently. The liquidation analysis assumes that the assets would be disposed
of in an orderly manner and not sold in forced or distressed sales where sellers
might be expected to dispose of their interests at substantial discounts to
their actual fair market value.
General Partner's Annual Estimates of Net Asset Value
Your general partner (which is our subsidiary) prepared an estimate of your
partnership's net asset value per unit in connection with [an offer to purchase
up to 16.80% of the outstanding units commenced by an unaffiliated party in
1998. That estimate of your partnership's net asset value per unit as of June
30, 1998 was $11,182. This estimated net asset value is based on a hypothetical
sale of the partnership's properties and the distribution to the limited
partners and the general partner of the gross proceeds of such sales, net of
related indebtedness, together with the cash, proceeds from temporary
investments, and all other assets that are believed to have liquidation value,
after provision in full for all of the other known liabilities of your
partnership. This net asset value does not take into account (i) timing
considerations, (ii) costs associated with winding up the partnership, (iii) the
distribution paid by your partnership of $1,197.46 per unit for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998, or (iv) $939,000 in deferred maintenance costs.
Therefore, we believe that this estimate of net asset value per unit does not
necessarily represent either the fair market value of a unit or the amount a
limited partner reasonably could expect to receive if the partnership's
properties were sold and the partnership was liquidated. For this reason, we
considered this net asset value estimate to be less meaningful in determining
the offer price than our analysis described above.
25
<PAGE> 26
Affiliate's Estimate of Net Liquidation Value
An affiliate of your general partner which is now an affiliate of ours,
prepared an estimate of your partnership's net liquidation value per unit in
connection with a tender offer to purchase units for $4,000 each which closed in
September, 1998. That estimate of your partnership's net liquidation value per
unit as of June 30, 1998 was $6,749.46. This estimated net liquidation value is
based on the [appraisals set forth above] [an income capitalization approached
similar to the one we used, adjusted for your partnership's other assets and
liabilities (excluding prepaid and deferred expenses and security deposits).
Four percent was then deducted from the resulting amount to cover the estimated
costs of selling the properties. This final amount was then divided by the
number of units outstanding to obtain the $6,749.46 per unit. While this value
is higher than our offer price per unit, because different income and
capitalization rates were used and we believe that the income capitalization
amounts used overstate the value of the properties.
Allocation of Consideration. We have allocated to the limited partners the
amount of the estimated net valuation of your partnership based on your
partnership's agreement of limited partnership as if your partnership was being
liquidated at the current time. In valuing your units, we have assumed that 100%
of the estimated liquidation proceeds are distributed to holders of units.
SECTION 10. POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO
THE OFFER.
The general partner of your partnership believes the offer price and the
structure of the transaction are fair to the limited partners. In making such
determination, the general partner considered all of the factors and information
set forth below, but did not quantify or otherwise attach particular weight to
any such factors or information:
o The offer gives you an opportunity to make an individual decision on
whether to tender your units or to continue to hold them.
o Our offer price, and the method we used to determine our offer price.
o The fact that the price offered for your units is based on an estimated
value of your partnership's properties that has been determined using a
method believed to reflect the valuation of such assets by buyers in the
market for similar assets.
o Prices at which the units have recently sold, to the extent such
information is available.
o The absence of an established trading market for your units.
o An analysis of possible alternative transactions, including a property
sale or refinancing, or a liquidation of the partnership.
o An evaluation of the financial condition and results of operations of
your partnership including the decrease in property income of your
partnership from $1,386,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to
$1,164,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to
whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Although the
general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make your own decision
whether or not to participate in the offer, based upon a number of factors,
including your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, other
financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax
consequences to you of selling your units.
SECTION 11. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
Conflicts of Interest With Respect to the Offer. The general partner of your
partnership became a majority-owned subsidiary of AIMCO on October 1, 1998, when
AIMCO merged with Insignia. Your general partner became a wholly owned
subsidiary of AIMCO on February 26, 1999 when IPT merged with AIMCO.
Accordingly, the general partner of your partnership has substantial conflicts
of interest with respect to the offer. The general partner of your partnership
has a fiduciary obligation to obtain a fair offer price for you, even as a
subsidiary of AIMCO. It also has a duty to remove the property manager for your
partnership's residential properties, under certain circumstances, even though
the property manager is also an affiliate of AIMCO. The conflicts of interest
include: (1) the fact that a decision to remove, for any reason, the general
partner of your partnership from its current position as a general partner of
your partnership would result in a decrease or elimination of the substantial
management fees paid to an affiliate
26
<PAGE> 27
of the general partner of your partnership for managing your partnership's
properties; and (2) as a consequence of our ownership of units, because we may
have incentives to seek to maximize the value of our ownership of units, which
in turn may result in a conflict for your general partner in attempting to
reconcile our interests with the interests of the other limited partners.
Additionally, we desire to purchase units at a low price and you desire to sell
units at a high price. The general partner of your partnership makes no
recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your
units. Such conflicts of interest in connection with the offer and the operation
of AIMCO differ from those conflicts of interest that currently exist for your
partnership. See "Risk Factors -- Conflicts of Interest With Respect to the
Offer." Your general partner has filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement
on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC, which indicates that it is remaining neutral and
making no recommendation as to whether limited partners should tender their
units pursuant to the offer. LIMITED PARTNERS ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO
PURCHASE AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9 AND THE RELATED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR
ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR UNITS.
Conflicts of Interest That Currently Exist for Your Partnership. We own both
the general partner of your partnership and the manager of your partnership's
residential properties. The general partner does not receive an annual
management fee but may receive reimbursements for expenses incurred in its
capacity as general partner. The general partner of your partnership received
total fees and reimbursements of $92,000 in 1996, $113,000 in 1997 and $121,000
in 1998. The reimbursement amount to your general partner for the 1998 fiscal
year included $27,000 which was paid to an affiliate of your general partner for
costs incurred in connection with construction oversight services. The property
manager received management fees of $149,000 in 1996, $151,000 in 1997 and
$152,000 in 1998. We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for
your general partner or the manager of your partnership's residential
properties.
Competition Among Properties. Because AIMCO and your partnership both invest
in apartment properties, these properties may compete with one another for
tenants. Furthermore, you should bear in mind that AIMCO may acquire properties
in general market areas where your partnership properties are located. It is
believed that this concentration of properties in a general market area will
facilitate overall operations through collective advertising efforts and other
operational efficiencies. In managing AIMCO's properties, we will attempt to
reduce such conflicts between competing properties by referring prospective
customers to the property considered to be most conveniently located for the
customer's needs.
Future Offers. Although we have no current plans to conduct future tender
offers for your units, our plans may change based on future circumstances. Any
such future offers that we might make could be for consideration that is more or
less than the consideration we are currently offering.
SECTION 12. FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER.
As described above under "The Offer -- Section 9. Background and Reasons for
the Offer," we own the general partner and thereby control the management of
your partnership. In addition, we own the manager of your partnership's
residential properties. We currently intend that, upon consummation of the
offer, your partnership will continue its business and operations substantially
as they are currently being conducted. The offer is not expected to have any
effect on partnership operations.
Although we have no present intention to do so, we may acquire additional
units or sell units after completion or termination of the offer. Any
acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future
tender or exchange offers, by merger, consolidation or by any other means deemed
advisable. Any acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to
be paid for the units purchased pursuant to this offer, and may be for cash,
limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P. or other consideration.
We also may consider selling some or all of the units we acquire pursuant to the
offer to persons not yet determined, which may include our affiliates. We may
also buy your partnership's properties, although we have no present intention to
do so. There can be no assurance, however, that we will initiate or complete, or
will cause your partnership to initiate or complete, any subsequent transaction
during any specific time period following the expiration of the offer or at all.
Except as set forth herein, we do not have any present plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership or any of your
partnership's subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of your
partnership's assets (or assets of the partnership's subsidiaries); any changes
in composition of your partnership's senior management or personnel or their
compensation; any changes in your partnership's present capitalization or
distribution policy; or any other material changes in your partnership's
structure or business. We or our affiliates may loan funds to your partnership
which may be secured by your partnership's property. If any such loans are made,
upon default of
27
<PAGE> 28
such loans, the lender could seek to foreclose on the loan and related mortgage
or security interest. However, we expect that consistent with your general
partner's fiduciary obligations, the general partner will seek and review
opportunities (including opportunities identified by us) to engage in
transactions which could benefit your partnership, such as sales or refinancings
of assets or a combination of the partnership with one or more other entities,
with the objective of seeking to maximize returns to limited partners.
We have been advised that the possible future transactions the general
partner expects to consider on behalf of your partnership include: (1) payment
of extraordinary distributions; (2) refinancing, reducing or increasing existing
indebtedness of the partnership; (3) sales of assets, individually or as part of
a complete liquidation; and (4) mergers or other consolidation transactions
involving the partnership. Any such merger or consolidation transaction could
involve other limited partnerships in which your 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 AIMCO), in any of which limited partners 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. If any such
transaction is effected by the partnership and financial benefits accrue to the
limited partners of your partnership, we will participate in those benefits to
the extent of our ownership of units. [he agreement of limited partnership
prohibits limited partners from voting on actions taken by the partnership,
unless otherwise specifically permitted therein. Limited partners may vote on a
liquidation, and if we are successful in acquiring a substantial number of units
pursuant to the offer, we will be able to control the outcome of any such vote.
Even if we acquire a lesser number of units pursuant to the offer, however,
because we currently own approximately 13.59% of the outstanding units we will
be able to significantly influence the outcome of any such vote. Our primary
objective in seeking to acquire the units pursuant to the offer is not, however,
to influence the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a
profit on the investment represented by those units.
SECTION 13. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP.
General. Davidson Diversified Real Estate I, L.P. was organized on January
14, 1983, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its primary business is real
estate ownership and related operations. Your partnership was formed for the
purpose of making investments in various types of real properties which offer
potential capital appreciation and cash distributions to its limited partners.
Your partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of the following
two residential apartment complexes: Ashley Woods a 352-unit complex in
Cincinnati, Ohio; and Versailles on the Lake, a 156-unit complex in Fort Wayne,
Indiana.
The general partner of your partnership is DDP Inc., which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of AIMCO. A wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO serves as manager of the
residential properties owned by your partnership. As of December 31, 1998, there
were 751.59 units issued and outstanding, which were held of record by 1,027
limited partners. Your partnership's principal executive offices are located at
1873 South Bellaire Street, 17th Floor, Denver, Colorado 80222, and its
telephone number at that address is (303) 757-8101.
For additional information about your partnership, please refer to the
annual report prepared by your partnership which was sent to you prior to this
offer to purchase, particularly Item 2 of Form 10-KSB which contains detailed
information regarding the properties owned, including mortgages, rental rates
and taxes.
Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments. In
general, your general partner (which is our subsidiary) regularly evaluates the
partnership's properties by considering various factors, such as the
partnership's financial position and real estate and capital markets conditions.
The general partner monitors the properties' specific locale and sub-market
conditions (including stability of the surrounding neighborhood) evaluating
current trends, competition, new construction and economic changes. The general
partner oversees each asset's operating performance and continuously evaluates
the physical improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for
each property (including any prepayment penalties), tax implications,
availability of attractive mortgage financing to a purchaser, and the investment
climate are all considered. Any of these factors, and possibly others, could
potentially contribute to any decision by the general partner to sell,
refinance, upgrade with capital improvements or hold a particular partnership
property. If rental market conditions improve, the level of distributions might
increase over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties
could improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's properties in a
private transaction at some point in the future a more viable option than it is
currently. After taking into account the foregoing considerations, your general
partner is not currently seeking a sale of your partnership's properties
primarily because it
28
<PAGE> 29
expects the properties' operating performance to improve in the near term. In
making this assessment, your general partner noted the occupancy and rental
rates at the properties in 1998 compared to 1997. For more detailed information
regarding the average occupancy and rental rates, see "Average Annual Rental
Rates and Occupancy" below. In particular, the general partner noted that it
expects to spend approximately $939,000 for capital improvements at the
residential properties in 1999 to repair and update the properties'.
Improvements include interior and exterior building improvements. Although there
can be no assurance as to future performance, however, these expenditures are
expected to improve the desirability of the property to tenants. The general
partner does not believe that a sale of the residential properties at the
present time would adequately reflect the properties' future prospects. Another
significant factor considered by your general partner is the likely tax
consequences of a sale of the residential properties for cash. Such a
transaction would likely result in tax liabilities for many limited partners.
The general partner has not received any recent indication of interest or offer
to purchase the residential properties.
Originally Anticipated Term of Partnership. Your partnership's prospectus,
dated November 16, 1983, pursuant to which units in your partnership were sold,
indicated that your partnership was intended to be self-liquidating and that it
was anticipated that the partnership's properties would be sold within 3 to 7
years of their acquisition, provided market conditions permit. The prospectus
also indicated that there could be no assurance that the partnership would be
able to so liquidate and that, unless sooner terminated as provided in the
partnership agreement, the existence of the partnership would continue until the
year 2007. The partnership currently owns two apartment properties. Your general
partner (which is our subsidiary) continually considers whether a property
should be sold or otherwise disposed of after consideration of relevant factors,
including prevailing economic conditions, availability of favorable financing
and tax considerations, with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation
for your partnership. We cannot predict when any of the properties will be sold
or otherwise disposed of. However, there is no current plan or intention to sell
the residential properties in the near future.
Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of the
partnership will continue until December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated as
provided in the agreement or by law. Limited partners could, as an alternative
to tendering their units, take a variety of possible actions, including voting
to liquidate the partnership or amending the agreement of limited partnership to
authorize limited partners to cause the partnership to merge with another entity
or engage in a "roll-up" or similar transaction.
Capital Replacement. [USE ONLY IF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE EXCEEDS 10% OF THE
VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES] Adjuster's International, Inc. ("AI") is a loss
consulting and public adjusting firm, which does replacement/repair costs and
work-in-process analyses. Its staff consists of consultants, senior public
adjusters and certified professional public adjusters. AI performed its analysis
of the physical condition of the properties in the ordinary course of its
business by inspecting the properties, determining the physical condition of the
properties and what repairs are needed and then estimating the cost of such
repairs based upon its experience in making such estimates. AI was retained by
us because of its experience in evaluating needed repairs of real property, and
was paid $[ ] by us for its report(s). Such payments were not contingent upon
completion of the offer. AI has no material relationship with us or our
affiliates except for such reports. AI has conducted, is currently conducting
and may in the future conduct similar analyses of other properties held by us
and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. No limitations were
imposed on AI by the general partner or us.
Your partnership has an ongoing program of capital improvements,
replacements and renovations, including roof replacements, kitchen and bath
renovations, balcony repairs (where applicable), replacement of various building
systems and other replacements and renovations in the ordinary course of
business. All capital improvement and renovation costs are expected to be paid
from operating cash flows, cash reserves, or from short-term or long-term
borrowings.
Competition. There are other residential properties within the market area
of your partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive
properties in such an area could have a material effect on the rental market for
the apartments at your partnership's properties and the rents that may be
charged for such apartments. While we are a significant factor in the United
States in the apartment industry, competition for apartments is local. According
to data published by the National Multi-Housing Council, as of January 1, 1999,
our portfolio of 373,409 owned or managed apartment units represents
approximately 2.2% of the national stock of rental apartments in structures with
at least five apartments.

Operating Budgets of the Partnership. A summary of the operating budgets of
your partnership's properties for the year ending on December 31, 1999 is as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
FISCAL 1999 OPERATING BUDGETS
ASHLEY WOODS VERSAILLES
<S> <C> <C>
Total Revenues 2,267,217 937,903
Operating Expenses (278,355) (156,140)
Replacement Reserves - Net 100,668 --
Debt Service (657,497) (277,572)
Capital Expenditures -- --
Net Cash Flow 1,432,033 504,191
</TABLE>
The above budgets at the time they were made were forward-looking
information developed by your general partner (which is our subsidiary).
Therefore, the budgets were dependent upon future events with respect to the
ability of your partnership to meet such budget. The budgets incorporated
various assumptions including, but not limited to, lease revenue (including
occupancy rates), various operating expenses, general and administrative
expenses, depreciation expenses, capital expenditures, and working capital
levels. While we deemed such budgets to be reasonable and valid at the date
made, there is no assurance that the assumed facts will be validated or that the
circumstances will actually occur. Any estimate of the future performance of a
business, such as your partnership's business, is forward-looking and based on
assumptions some of which inevitably will prove to be incorrect.
The budget amounts provided above are figures that were not computed in
accordance with GAAP. In particular, items that are categorized as capital
expenditures for purposes of preparing the operating budget are often
re-categorized as expenses when the financial statements are audited and
presented in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, the summary operating budget
presented for fiscal 1999 should not necessarily be considered as indicative of
what the audited operating results for fiscal 1999 will be. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the partnership reported revenues of $2,977,730 operating
expenses of $1,660,911 and replacement reserves and capital expenditures of
$153,000.

Beneficial Ownership of Interests in Your Partnership. Together with our
subsidiaries, we currently own, in the aggregate, approximately 13.59% of the
outstanding limited partnership units of your partnership. Except as set forth
above, neither we, nor, to the best of our knowledge, any of our affiliates, (i)
beneficially own or have a right to acquire any units, (ii) have effected any
transactions in the units in the past 60 days, or (iii) have any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to
any securities of your partnership, including, but not limited to, contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning transfer or voting
thereof, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees
of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Legal Proceedings. Your partnership may be party to a variety of legal
proceedings related to its ownership of the partnership's properties and
management and leasing business, respectively, arising in the ordinary course of
the business, which are not expected to have a material adverse effect on your
partnership.
SECTION 14. VOTING POWER.
Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership are
the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of your
partnership is our affiliate, we control the management of your partnership.
Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited partners
holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain extraordinary
transactions, including the removal of the general partner, the addition of a
new general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale
of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. If we acquire all the
units we are offering to purchase, we will own a majority of the outstanding
units and will have the ability to control any vote of the limited partners.
If we acquire a substantial number of additional units pursuant to our
offer, we may be in a position to influence or control voting decisions with
respect to the limited partners of your partnership. See "The Offer -- Section
7. Effect of the Offer."
SECTION 15. SOURCE OF FUNDS.
We expect that approximately $189,676 will be required to purchase all of
the 292.26 limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer
(exclusive of fees and expenses estimated to be $10,000). For more information
regarding fees and expenses, see "The Offer -- Section 19. Fees and Expenses" in
the Offer to Purchase.
In addition to this offer, we are concurrently making offers to acquire
interests in approximately 100 other limited partnerships. If all such offers
were fully subscribed for cash, we would be required to pay approximately $260
million for all such units. If for some reason we did not have such funds
available we might extend this offer for a period of time sufficient for us to
obtain additional funds, or we might terminate this offer. However, based on our
past experience with similar offers, we do not expect all such offers to be
fully subscribed. Also, in some offers, investors have been offered a choice of
cash or securities. As a result, we expect that the funds that will be necessary
to consummate all the offers will be substantially less than $200 million. We
believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and available sources of financing
to pay such amounts. As of March 31, 1999, we had $38,000,000 of cash on hand
and $145,000,000 available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit.
Under our $145 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America") and BankBoston, N.A.,
AIMCO Properties, L.P. is the borrower and all obligations thereunder are
guaranteed by AIMCO and certain of its subsidiaries. The annual interest rate
under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or Bank of America's
33
<PAGE> 34
reference rate, at our election, plus, an applicable margin. We elect which
interest rate will be applicable to particular borrowings under the credit
facility. The margin ranges between 2.25% and 2.75% in the case of LIBOR-based
loans and between 0.75% and 1.25% in the case of base rate loans, depending upon
a ratio of our consolidated unsecured indebtedness to the value of certain
unencumbered assets. The credit facility matures on September 30, 1999 unless
extended, at the discretion of the lenders. The credit facility provides for the
conversion of the revolving facility into a three year term loan. The
availability of funds to us under the credit facility is subject to certain
borrowing base restrictions and other customary restrictions, including
compliance with financial and other covenants thereunder. The financial
covenants require us to maintain a ratio of debt to gross asset value of no more
than 0.55 to 1.0, an interest coverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.0 and a fixed charge
coverage ratio of at least 1.7 to 1.0 from January 1, 1999 through June 30,
1999, and 1.8 to 1.0 thereafter. In addition, the credit facility limits us from
distributing more than 80% of our Funds From Operations (as defined) to holders
of our units, imposes minimum net worth requirements and provides other
financial covenants related to certain unencumbered assets.
SECTION 16. DISSENTERS' RIGHTS.
Neither the agreement of limited partnership of your partnership nor
applicable law provides any right for you to have your units appraised or
redeemed in connection with, or as a result of, our offer. You have the
opportunity to make an individual decision on whether or not to tender your
units in the offer.
SECTION 17. CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of our offer, we will not be required
to accept for payment and pay for any units tendered pursuant to our offer, may
postpone the purchase of, and payment for, units tendered, and may terminate or
amend our offer if at any time on or after the date of this offer to purchase,
and at or before the expiration of our offer (including any extension thereof),
any of the following shall occur or may be reasonably expected to occur:

prospective change) shall have occurred or been threatened in the business,
properties, assets, liabilities, indebtedness, capitalization, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, licenses or franchises, management

markets in which your partnership owns property, including any fire, flood,
natural disaster, casualty loss, or act of God that, in our reasonable
judgment, are or may be materially adverse to your partnership or the value
of the units to us, or we shall have become aware of any facts relating to
your partnership, its indebtedness or its operations which, in our
reasonable judgment, has or may have material significance with respect to
the value of your partnership or the value of the units to us; or
(b) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in,
or limitation on prices for, securities on any national securities exchange
or the over-the-counter market in the United States, (ii) a decline in the
closing price of a share of AIMCO's Class A Common Stock of more than 7.5%

point increase in 30-day LIBOR, the price of the 10-year Treasury Bond or
the 30-year Treasury Bond, or at least a 7.5% decrease in the S&P 500 Index,
the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, in each case from the date hereof, (iii) any
material adverse change in the commercial mortgage financing markets, (iv) a
declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect
of banks in the United States, (vi) a commencement of a war, conflict, armed
hostilities or other national or international calamity directly or
indirectly involving the United States, (vii) any limitation (whether or not
mandatory) by any governmental authority on, or any other event which, in
our reasonable judgment, might affect the extension of credit by banks or
other lending institutions, or (viii) in the case of any of the foregoing
existing at the time of the commencement of the offer, in our reasonable
judgment, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; or
(c) there shall have been threatened, instituted or pending any action,
proceeding, application or counterclaim by any Federal, state, local or
foreign government, governmental authority or governmental agency, or by any
other person, before any governmental authority, court or regulatory or
administrative agency, authority or tribunal, which (i) challenges or seeks
to challenge our purchase of the units, restrains, prohibits or delays the
making or consummation of our offer, prohibits the performance of any of the
contracts or other arrangements entered into by us (or any affiliates of
ours), seeks to obtain any material amount of damages as a result of the
transactions contemplated by our offer, (ii) seeks to make the purchase of,
or payment for, some or all of the units pursuant to our offer illegal or
results in a delay in our ability to accept for payment or pay for some or
all of the units, (iii) seeks to prohibit or limit the ownership or
operation by us or any of our affiliates of the entity
34
<PAGE> 35
serving as general partner of the partnership or to remove such entity as
general partner of your partnership, or seeks to impose any material
limitation on our ability or the ability of any affiliate of ours to conduct
your partnership's business or own such assets, (iv) seeks to impose
material limitations on our ability to acquire or hold or to exercise full
rights of ownership of the units including, but not limited to, the right to
vote the units purchased by us on all matters properly presented to the
limited partners, or (v) might result, in our reasonable judgment, in a
diminution in the value of your partnership or a limitation of the benefits
expected to be derived by us as a result of the transactions contemplated by
our offer or the value of the units to us; or
(d) there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation,
order or injunction shall be sought, proposed, enacted, promulgated,
entered, enforced or deemed applicable to our offer, your partnership, any
general partner of your partnership, us or any affiliate of ours or your
partnership, or any other action shall have been taken, proposed or
threatened, by any government, governmental authority or court, that, in our
reasonable judgment, might, directly or indirectly, result in any of the
consequences referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) of paragraph (c) above;
or
(e) your partnership shall have (i) changed, or authorized a change of,
the units or your partnership's capitalization, (ii) issued, distributed,

limitation, units), or securities convertible into any such equity interests
or any rights, warrants or options to acquire any such equity interests or
convertible securities, or (B) any other securities in respect of, in lieu
of, or in substitution for units outstanding on the date hereof, (iii)
purchased or otherwise acquired, or proposed or offered to purchase or
otherwise acquire, any outstanding units or other securities, (iv) declared
or paid any dividend or distribution on any units or issued, authorized,
recommended or proposed the issuance of any other distribution in respect of
the units, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, (v)

SECTION 18. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS.
General. Except as set forth in this Section 18, we are not, based on
information provided by your general partner (which is our subsidiary), aware of
any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the business of
your partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely affected by our
acquisition of units as contemplated herein, or any filings, approvals or other
actions by or with any domestic or foreign governmental authority or
administrative or regulatory agency that would be required prior to the
acquisition of units by us pursuant to the offer, other than the filing of a
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with the SEC (which has already been
filed) and any required amendments thereto. While there is no present intent to
delay the purchase of units tendered pursuant to the offer pending receipt of
any such additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no
assurance that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be
obtained without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not
result to your partnership or its business, or that certain parts of its
business might not have to be disposed of or other substantial conditions
complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of which could
cause us to elect to terminate the offer without purchasing units thereunder.
Our obligation to purchase and pay for units is subject to certain conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 18.
Antitrust. We do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of units
contemplated by our offer.
Margin Requirements. The units are not "margin securities" under the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to our offer.
State Laws. We are not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of our
offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If we become aware of any
jurisdiction in which the making of the offer would not be in compliance with
applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law.
If, after such good faith effort, we cannot comply with any such law, the offer
will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of)
unitholders residing in such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions with
securities or blue sky laws that require the offer to be made by a licensed
broker or dealer, the offer shall be made on behalf of us, if at all, only by
one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of that
jurisdiction.
SECTION 19. FEES AND EXPENSES.
Except as set forth in this Section 19, we will not pay any fees or
commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of
units pursuant to the offer. We have retained River Oaks Partnership Services,
Inc. to act as Information Agent in connection with our offer. The Information
Agent may contact holders of units by mail, telephone, telex, telegraph and
personal interview and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee limited
partners to forward materials relating to the offer to beneficial owners of the
units. We will pay the Information Agent reasonable and customary compensation
for its services in connection with the offer, plus reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify it against certain liabilities and
expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under the Federal
securities laws. We will also pay all costs and expenses of printing and mailing
the offer and its legal fees and expenses.

NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF US NOT CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATION MUST NOT
BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED.
We have filed with the Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
14D-1, pursuant to Section 14(d)(1) and Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act,
furnishing certain additional information with respect to our offer, and may
file amendments thereto. The Schedule 14D-1 and any amendments thereto,
including exhibits, may be inspected and copies may be obtained at the same
place and in the same manner as described in "The Offer -- Section 13" under
"Additional Information Concerning Your Partnership."

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed
(i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase relating to the offer by AIMCO Properties,
L.P. (the "Purchaser") to purchase Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units")

hereto, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time (collectively,
the "Offer").
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby tenders to the
Purchaser the Units set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," including all interests in any limited partnership represented by
such units (collectively, the "Units"), at the price indicated on the Offer to
Purchase, less the amount of distributions, if any, made by the Partnership from
the Offer Date until the Expiration Date (the "Offer Price"), net to the
undersigned in cash, without interest.
Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon
the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units
tendered hereby that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including,
without limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and

in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to become due
to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of the
agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), or any agreement pursuant to which the Units were sold (the
"Purchase Agreement"), whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement or
Purchase Agreement or the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including,
without limitation, all voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or
similar rights, and rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the
Partnership; and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against the Partnership, the other partners of the Partnership, or the general
partner and its affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of the
Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned's status as a
limited partner, or the terms or conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned or
advanced, for services rendered, for the management of the Partnership or
otherwise.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the

(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the Information Agent
(as the undersigned's agent) of the Offer Price, to become a substitute limited
partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the Expiration Date of the Offer (regardless of the record date for any
such distribution), and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, all in accordance with the terms
of the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the purchase of the Units by
the Purchaser as provided in the Offer and shall be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of the Offer. Upon the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents
may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective).
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be
required to effect the transfer of the undersigned's Units to the Purchaser (or
its designee) and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute limited partner in the
Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (ii) empowers the
Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to each general partner a change

the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and will hold any
distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration Date in trust
for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly forward to the
Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from time to
time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the
Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of
tendering unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (i) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity deemed
to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 of any
such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the Offer will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Purchaser may not
be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such
event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not

RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE
OFFER. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION TO TENDER UNITS.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Purchaser that the undersigned owns the Units tendered
hereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary action to
validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units tendered
hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and
such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Our records indicate that the undersigned owns the number of Units set forth
in the box above entitled "Description of Units Tendered" under the column
entitled "Total Number of Units Owned." If you would like to tender only a
portion of your Units, please so indicate in the space provided in the box above

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.

honoring or refusing to honor the original certificate when presented by or on
behalf of a holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed by the

5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The unitholder(s) tendering Units to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the
unitholder(s)' taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as
true, under penalties of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box
B and, if applicable, Box C. By signing the Signature Box, the
unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on
this Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box B and, if
applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form
W-9 for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the
Purchaser.
U.S. PERSONS. A unitholder that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic
trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms
are defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below with
respect to certifying Box A and Box B.
BOX A - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering unitholders must
certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered"
is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by
the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the unitholder
being subject to backup withholding.
Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income tax
backup withholding, the tendering unitholder must certify, under penalty
of perjury, that such unitholder is not subject to backup withholding.
Certain unitholders (including, among others, all corporations and
certain exempt non-profit organizations) are not subject to backup
withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If withholding
results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the
IRS. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A, PART (II), UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN
NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following
as a guide:
Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.
Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears
first.
Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not
necessary to provide).
Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors should reflect the TIN of
the minor.
Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect the
TIN assigned to that entity.
By signing the Signature Box, the unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as
printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is
correct.
BOX B - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
unitholder transferring interests in a partnership with real estate
assets meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the
representations made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax equal
to 10% of the purchase price for interests purchased. Tax withheld under
Section 1445 of the Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results
in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS. PART (i)
SHOULD BE CHECKED ONLY IF THE TENDERING UNITHOLDER IS NOT A U.S. PERSON,
AS DESCRIBED THEREIN.
9
<PAGE> 10
BOX C - FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering unitholder who is a
Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as
exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must certify,
under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box C of this Letter of
Transmittal, attesting to that Foreign Person's status by checking the
box preceding such statement. UNLESS THE BOX IS CHECKED, SUCH UNITHOLDER
WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING OF TAX.
6. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a
Letter of Transmittal and other required documents will be
determined by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and
binding. The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions
of the Offer (including these Instructions for this Letter of
Transmittal) will be final and binding. The Purchaser will have the
right to waive any irregularities or conditions as to the manner of
tendering. Any irregularities in connection with tenders, unless
waived, must be cured within such time as the Purchaser shall
determine. This Letter of Transmittal will not be valid until any
irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor
the Information Agent are under any duty to give notification of
defects in a Letter of Transmittal and will incur no liability for
failure to give such notification.
7. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the
Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.
8. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the
transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price
unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or
exemption therefrom is submitted.

Dear Unitholder:
We are offering to acquire up to 292.26 units in your partnership,
Davidson Diversified Real Estate I, L.P. Our offer presents you with the
following two options, which you are free to accept or reject in any combination
you like:
1. You may tender each of your units in exchange for $649
in cash, in which case you may recognize a gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes.
2. You may retain any or all of your units. If you choose to
retain any or all of your units, your rights as a holder of units will
remain unchanged. You will continue to participate in gains and losses
of your partnership, and you will receive distributions, if any,
payable in respect of your units.
We are offering to acquire up to 292.26 outstanding units in your
partnership. Our offer is subject to a minimum of 35% of the units being
tendered. If more units are tendered than we are offering to acquire, we will
prorate the purchase so that the same approximate percentage of units tendered
by each partner will be purchased. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY
COMMISSIONS OR FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPOSITION OF YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO
OUR OFFER. Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions subsequently
made by your partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.
There are advantages and disadvantages to you of accepting or declining
our offer. The terms of the offer are more fully described in the enclosed
materials. These documents describe the material risks and opportunities
associated with the offer, including certain tax considerations. Please review
these documents carefully. The general partner of your partnership makes no
recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your
units. Although the general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make
your own decision whether or not to participate in the offer, based upon a
number of factors, including your financial position, your need or desire for
liquidity, other financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position
and the tax consequences to you of selling your units.
If you desire to tender any of your units in response to our offer, you
should complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance with
the enclosed instructions and mail or deliver the signed letter of transmittal
and any other required documents to River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc., which
is acting as the Information Agent in connection with our offer, at the address
set forth on the back cover of the enclosed Offer to Purchase. The offer will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 1999, unless extended. If
you have questions or require further information, please call the Information
Agent, toll free, at (888) 349-2005.
