                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Realty Investors-84 (the "Partnership") was formed in 1982 to invest in
and operate income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $140,000,000
from sales of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to
acquire twenty-three real property investments and a minority joint venture
interest in one additional property. Six of these properties were sold in prior
years and five were sold in 1996, including the Sunnyoak Village Apartments
which was sold during July 1996. Title to five properties, including the
property in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, have
been relinquished through foreclosure in prior years. The Partnership continues
to operate the eight remaining properties.

Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual report for 1995 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

Operations
- ----------

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

The Partnership has sold four properties during the six months ended June 30,
1996 and recognized significant gains on these sales for financial statement
purposes. These gains resulted in an increase in net income during the six
months and quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995.
Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

The Partnership sold the Pinebrook and Drayton Quarter apartment complexes in
February and July 1995, respectively, and the Antlers, Canyon Sands, Chimney
Ridge and Ridgetree - Phase I apartment complexes during the first six months
of 1996. As a result, the Partnership recognized gains of $1,814,970 on the
sale of Pinebrook Apartments and $25,885,852 on the 1996 sales during the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. These sales also
resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on
mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization, property operating
expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1996 as
compared to 1995. These decreases were partially, or, in certain cases, fully
offset by the events described below.

Eight of the Partnership's nine remaining properties at June 30, 1996
experienced higher rental rates in 1996 which resulted in increased rental and
service income and property management fees and partially offset the decreases
from the six property sales. 
<PAGE>
Primarily due to lower average cash balances and lower average interest rates
on short-term interest bearing instruments, interest income on short-term
investments decreased during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995. Proceeds received during late May and June of 1996 in
connection with the sales of the Antlers, Canyon Sands and Ridgetree - Phase I
apartment complexes were invested in short-term investments prior to their
distribution in July 1996 and resulted in increased interest income during the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

Due to decreases in the short-term loan balance during 1995 and its repayment
in March 1996, interest expense on short-term loans from an affiliate decreased
during 1996 as compared to 1995.

Costs were incurred for wood replacement and painting at the Sunnyoak Village
Apartments during the second quarter of 1996 in an effort to prepare the
property for sale. These costs resulted in increased property operating expense
and partially offset the decreases from the six property sales.

Due to lower accounting fees and legal fees, administrative expenses decreased
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995. The Partnership incurred higher consulting, printing and postage costs in
connection with its response to a tender offer during 1996. This partially
offset the decrease for the six months and resulted in an increase in
administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.

The Pinebrook apartment complex was owned by a joint venture consisting of the
Partnership and an affiliate. As a result of the property's sale in 1995,
affiliate's participation in income from joint venture ceased.

As a result of the sales of the Antlers, Canyon Sands, Chimney Ridge and
Ridgetree - Phase I apartment complexes, the remaining unamortized deferred
financing fees in the amount of $426,294 were recognized as an extraordinary
item and classified as debt extinguishment expense during 1996. During 1995,
the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of
$90,359 in connection with the settlement reached with the seller of certain of
the Partnership's properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $12,548,000 as
of June 30, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995 primarily due to proceeds
received from the property sales. The Partnership received cash totaling
approximately $2,189,000 from its operating activities which consisted
primarily of cash flow generated from property operations which was partially
offset by the payment of administrative expenses. The Partnership also received
cash of approximately $27,144,000 from its investing activities relating to the
sales of the Antlers, Canyon Sands, Chimney Ridge and Ridgetree - Phase I
apartment complexes. The Partnership used cash to fund its financing activities
which consisted primarily of the repayment of the $6,623,202 loan from the
General Partner, the repayment of the Ridgetree - Phase I Apartments mortgage
notes payable of approximately $9,484,000 in connection with the sale of the
property, and principal payments on mortgage notes payable of approximately
$683,000. The Partnership also made a special distribution to Limited Partners
from Net Cash Proceeds in July 1996 as described below.
<PAGE>
The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the
property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow
generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue
receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service
payments. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, eight of the nine
properties owned by the Partnership at June 30, 1996 generated positive cash
flow and one generated a marginal cash flow deficit. During the same period in
1995, all nine properties generated positive cash flow. The Courtyards of
Kendall Apartments, which had generated positive cash flow during 1995,
generated a marginal cash flow deficit during 1996 as a result of slightly
higher property operating expenses. As of June 30, 1996, the occupancy rates of
the Partnership's properties ranged from 91% to 98%.

The Chimney Ridge, Antlers and Canyon Sands apartment complexes, which were
sold in February, May and June 1996, respectively, all generated positive cash
flow during 1995 and prior to their sale in 1996. The Ridgetree - Phase I
apartment complex, which was sold in June 1996, generated a marginal deficit
during 1995 and prior to its sale in 1996. The Pinebrook apartment complex,
which was sold in February 1995, generated a marginal deficit prior to its sale
in 1995 and the Drayton Quarter apartment complex, which was sold in July 1995,
generated positive cash flow during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

While the cash flow of certain of the Partnership's properties has improved,
the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at improving
the cash flow of the Partnership's properties, including improving operating
performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. 

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
is favorable to sellers of these properties.  During 1996, the Partnership sold
the Antlers, Canyon Sands, Chimney Ridge, Ridgetree - Phase I and Sunnyoak
Village apartment complexes. Currently, the Partnership has entered into
contracts to sell the Courtyards of Kendall and Creekwood - Phase I apartment
complexes for sales prices of $11,000,000 and $8,391,300, respectively. The
Partnership is actively marketing the remaining properties in its portfolio. If
current market conditions remain favorable and the General Partner can obtain
appropriate sales prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy will be
accelerated. 

In February 1996, the Partnership sold the Chimney Ridge Apartments in an all
cash sale for $13,650,000. The purchaser of the Chimney Ridge Apartments took
title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of $7,242,788.
From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $609,642 in selling costs.
The remainder of the proceeds were used to repay a significant portion of the
remaining General Partner loans. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements
for additional information.

In May 1996, the Partnership sold the Antlers Apartments in an all cash sale
for $15,000,000. The purchaser of the Antlers Apartments took title subject to
the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of $10,108,860. From the
proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $86,456 in selling costs. The
remainder of the proceeds were distributed in a special distribution to the
Limited Partners in July 1996. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.
<PAGE>
In June 1996, the Partnership sold the Canyon Sands Apartments in an all cash
sale for $14,650,000. The purchaser of the Canyon Sands Apartments took title
subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of $8,957,106. From
the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $124,875 in selling costs.
Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds will be retained by
the Partnership until October 1996. The remainder of the proceeds were
distributed in a special distribution to the Limited Partners in July 1996. See
Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

In June 1996, the Partnership sold the Ridgetree Phase I Apartments in an all
cash sale for $11,100,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid
$9,484,192 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first
and second mortgage loans, and paid $126,000 in selling costs. Pursuant to the
terms of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds will be retained by the Partnership
until October 1996. The remainder of the proceeds were distributed in a special
distribution to the Limited Partners in July 1996. See Note 4 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.

In July 1996, the Partnership sold the Sunnyoak Village Apartments in an all
cash sale for $22,200,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid
$13,598,689 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the
first mortgage loan, and paid $181,500 in selling costs. Pursuant to the terms
of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds will be retained by the Partnership until
October 1996. The remainder of the proceeds will be distributed in a special
distribution to the Limited Partners in October 1996. See Note 6 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.

Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party
mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the
financial obligations required by such loans. As a result of the General
Partner's efforts to obtain loan refinancings, as well as the repayment of
certain loans with proceeds from property sales and cash reserves, the
Partnership has no third party financing which matures prior to 1997.

During July 1996, the Partnership commenced distributions and paid a special
distribution of $11,200,000 ($80 per Interest) to Limited Partners from the Net
Cash Proceeds received in connection with the sales of the Antlers, Canyon
Sands and Ridgetree - Phase I apartment complexes. As the remaining properties
are sold, the Partnership will distribute the sale proceeds to Limited
Partners.  Additionally, the Partnership will distribute the cash flow from
property operations. The General Partner, however, does not anticipate that
investors will recover a substantial portion of their original investment.

Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate
investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 5.  Other Information
- --------------------------

Courtyards of Kendall Apartments
- --------------------------------

As previously reported, on June 6, 1996 the Partnership contracted to sell the
Courtyards of Kendall Apartments, Dade County, Florida for a sale price of
$11,000,000 to an unaffiliated party and the closing was scheduled to occur
July 15, 1996. On June 17, 1996 the agreement of sale was amended pursuant to
which the closing was postponed until September 25, 1996. 

Creekwood I Apartments
- ----------------------

In 1983, the Partnership acquired the Creekwood I Apartments, Tulsa, Oklahoma,
utilizing approximately $3,514,620 in offering proceeds. The property was
acquired subject to first mortgage financing of approximately $6,655,000. In
1994, the mortgage loan was refinanced with a new mortgage loan in the amount
of $5,700,000. The Partnership received excess proceeds of approximately
$327,809.

As previously reported, on May 31, 1996 the Partnership contracted to sell the
Creekwood I Apartments, Tulsa, Oklahoma to an unaffiliated party, Mid-America
Apartments, L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership for a sale price of
$8,466,000. On June 18, 1996 the Purchaser exercised its option to terminate
the agreement of sale and a closing of the sale will not occur. Pursuant to the
agreement of sale, the $84,660 in earnest money previously deposited and
interest accrued thereon will be returned to the Purchaser.

Subsequently, on July 18, 1996, the Partnership contracted to sell the property
for a sale price of $8,391,300 to an unaffiliated party, Sentinel Acquisitions
Corp. (the "Purchaser"), a Delaware corporation. The Purchaser has deposited
$100,000 into an escrow account as earnest money and will pay the remaining
$8,291,300 at closing, which is scheduled for August 30, 1996. The Purchaser
will pay all closing costs relating to the sale, except that the Partnership
will pay one-half of specified title costs. From the proceeds of the sale, the
Partnership will repay the first mortgage loan which is expected to have an
outstanding balance of $5,604,985 at closing, and  $104,891 to an unaffiliated
party as a brokerage commission. An affiliate of the third party providing
property management services for the property will receive a fee of $83,913 for
services in connection with the sale. Neither the General Partner nor any
affiliate will receive a brokerage commission in connection with the sale of
the property. The General Partner will be reimbursed by the Partnership for
actual expenses incurred in connection with the sale.

An affiliate of the General Partner has simultaneously contracted to sell an
adjacent property, Creekwood II Apartments, Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the Purchaser.
If the Purchaser terminates this or the agreement of sale for the adjacent
property, the other agreement of sale will also be deemed terminated.
<PAGE>
The closing is subject to the satisfaction of numerous terms and conditions,
including the closing of the sale of the adjacent property. There can be no
assurance that all of the terms and conditions will be complied with and,
therefore, it is possible the sale of the property may not occur.

Quail Lakes Apartments
- ----------------------

As previously reported, on May 31, 1996, 1996 the Partnership contracted to
sell the Quail Lakes Apartments, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a sale price of
$10,500,000. On June 18, 1996 the Purchaser exercised its option to terminate
the agreement of sale and a closing of the sale will not occur. Pursuant to the
agreement of sale, the $105,000 in earnest money previously deposited and
interest accrued thereon will be returned to the Purchaser.

Sunnyoak Village Apartments
- ---------------------------

As previously reported, on April 23, 1996, the Partnership contracted to sell
Sunnyoak Village Apartments, Overland Park, Kansas, to an unaffiliated party,
ERP Operating Limited Partnership, for a sale price of $22,200,000. The sale
closed on July 2, 1996. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid the
outstanding balance of the first mortgage loan in the amount of $13,598,689,
legal fees of approximately $15,000 and a $166,500 fee to an affiliate of the
third party providing property management services for the property for
services rendered in connection with the sale. Pursuant to the agreement of
sale, the Purchaser paid all closing costs relating to the sale. The
Partnership received approximately $8,420,000 representing the remaining
proceeds. Of such proceeds, $500,000 will be retained by the Partnership and
not be available until 120 days after closing. Neither the General Partner nor
any affiliate will receive a brokerage commission in connection with the sale
of the property. The General Partner will be reimbursed by the Partnership for
its actual expenses incurred in connection with the sale.

                                                       Creekwood I Apartments
                                                       Tulsa, Oklahoma

                               AGREEMENT OF SALE

     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 12th day of July, 1996, by and
between SENTINEL ACQUISITIONS CORP., a Delaware Corporation ("Purchaser") and
CREEKWOOD I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited partnership ("Seller").

                                  WITNESSETH:

     1.   PURCHASE AND SALE.  Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to
sell at the price of Eight Million Three Hundred Ninety One Thousand Three
Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($8,391,300.00) ("Purchase Price"), that certain
property ("Property") in Tulsa, Oklahoma, more particularly described on
Exhibit A attached hereto, which Property is known as Creekwood I Apartments.
Included in the Purchase Price is all of the following: (a) the personal
property set forth on Exhibit B, which shall be transferred to Purchaser at
Closing (as hereinafter defined) by a Bill of Sale, including, without
limitation, the fixtures and equipment (however, excluding computer hardware
and software) (collectively, "Personal Property"); and (b) the buildings,
structures and other facilities, including 276 apartment units on approximately
13.67 acres, consisting of 192 one-bedroom apartments and 84 two-bedroom
apartments, and other facilities and parking, as more completely described on
the Survey (as hereinafter defined), collectively referred to as the
"Improvements".  

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE.  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

     a.   Upon the execution of this Agreement, the sum of $100,000.00
("Earnest Money") to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent (as that term is
defined in the Escrow Agreement), by and in accordance with the provisions of
the Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit C; and

     b.   On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the balance of the
Purchase Price adjusted in accordance with the prorations by federally wired
"immediately available" funds delivered to the Title Insurer (as hereinafter
defined) no later than 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.  

     3.   INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
  
     4.   TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY.

     a.   Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a title commitment dated May 31, 1996
("Title Commitment") for an owner's standard coverage ALTA 1987 title insurance
policy ("Title Policy") issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Company ("Title
Insurer").  The owner's Title Policy issued at Closing will be in the amount of
the Purchase Price subject only to real estate taxes and assessments not yet
due and payable, the general printed exceptions contained in the policy matters
caused by Purchaser, matters shown on the Survey, and the special title
exceptions set forth in Schedule B-Section 2, Numbers 1 through 13 inclusive
and 15 through 17 inclusive of the Title Commitment.  All of the above are
<PAGE>
herein referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions".  On the Closing Date, Seller
shall cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a "marked up"
commitment in conformity with the Title Commitment.  Seller and Purchaser shall
each pay for one-half of the cost of the Title Policy; however, Purchaser shall
pay the costs of "extended coverage" or any special endorsements which
Purchaser requires.  The obligation of Purchaser to pay various costs set forth
in Paragraph 4 and 6 herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     b.   Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey ("Survey") of the Property
prepared by Tulsa Engineering & Planning Assoc., Inc. dated June 6, 1996, and
Purchaser approves all of the matters set forth on the Survey.  Prior to the
Closing, Seller will have the Survey certified to the Purchaser and the Title
Insurer.  However, if Purchaser requires any additional survey work, Purchaser
shall pay for the cost of such additional work.
 
     5.   CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple
title to the Property by Special Warranty Deed ("Deed") in recordable form
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  If Seller is unable to convey title
to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions because of the
existence of an additional title exception ("Unpermitted Exception"), then
Purchaser can elect to take title to the Property subject to the Unpermitted
Exception or terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this
Agreement, then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered
to the Purchaser.

     6.   PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS.  Purchaser and Seller shall each pay for
one-half of the costs of the documentary stamps (if any) to be paid with
reference to the Deed and all other stamps, intangible, documentary, recording,
sales tax and surtax imposed by law with reference to any other documents
delivered in connection with this Agreement.  Purchaser and Seller shall each
pay for one-half of any personal property taxes imposed in connection with the
conveyance of the Personal Property from Seller to Purchaser.

     7.   DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

     a.   If prior to the Closing, there shall occur any proposed taking
("Taking") of the Property (or any part thereof) by eminent domain, which
taking would have a value reasonably estimated by Seller to be in excess of
$100,000.00 or which Taking would close any material right of access to the
Property or eliminate any parking spaces which would cause the Property to be
out of conformity with zoning laws, then Purchaser shall have the right and
option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice to such
effect within ten (10) days after actual receipt of written notification of any
such occurrence or occurrences.  If Purchaser does not exercise its right of
termination, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, the
Purchase Price for the Property shall not be abated and Seller shall assign all
right, title, interest in and to the condemnation award (and deliver any
portion of that award received by Seller prior to Closing) to Purchaser at
Closing.

     b.   If prior to Closing there shall occur any damage or destruction to
the Improvements by fire or other casualty that shall not have been restored to
its pre-existing condition and the cost to restore the Improvements (as
<PAGE>
determined pursuant to Paragraph 7d below) shall exceed 2% of the Purchase
Price, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 15
days after receipt of the determination of the cost to restore.  If Purchaser
does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, then the Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

     c.   If prior to Closing there shall occur any damage or destruction to
the Improvements by fire or other casualty and the cost to restore the
Improvements (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 7d below) shall be less than
two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, then this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect, the Purchase Price shall be abated by the cost to
restore and Seller shall be entitled to all of the insurance proceeds arising
from that casualty, except rental insurance proceeds as provided in 7e below.

     d.   The cost to restore the Improvements to a condition having the
design, specifications and equipment of the Improvements at the time of the
casualty shall be determined by obtaining a fixed price bid for that work by a
contractor having at least five years' experience in the construction of
multifamily housing, selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     e.   If Purchaser shall elect or be obligated to purchase the Property,
the rental insurance proceeds payable under Seller's insurance policies shall
be prorated as of the Closing Date as and when such proceeds are received.

     f.   The Closing shall be adjourned for a reasonable time (however, not to
exceed thirty days) as may be required to obtain the information and make the
decisions described above.

     g.   This Paragraph 7 is an express provision with respect to destruction
and eminent domain and is intended to supersede any applicable statute
regarding risk of loss.

     8.   AS-IS CONDITION.

     a.   Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the
Property based solely upon its inspection and investigations of the Property
and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property "AS IS" and "WITH ALL
FAULTS" based upon the condition of the Property as of the date of this
Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other
casualty or condemnation from the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that, except as
may otherwise be specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither
Seller nor its consultants, brokers or agents have made any other
representations or warranties of any kind upon which Purchaser is relying as to
any matters concerning the Property, including, but not limited to, the

asbestos, lead in water, lead in paint, radon, underground or above ground
storage tanks, petroleum, toxic waste or any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous

Property or any zoning, environmental or building laws, rules or regulations

complies with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act or any fire
codes or building codes.  Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all
liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser may have against
Seller, and Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims, for damage, loss,
compensation, contribution, cost recovery or otherwise, against Seller, whether
in tort, contract, or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to the
existence of asbestos or Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances on, or
environmental conditions of, the Property, or arising under the Environmental
Laws (as such term is hereinafter defined), or relating in any way to the
quality of the indoor or outdoor environment at the Property.  As used herein,
"Environmental Laws" means all federal, state and local statutes, codes,
regulations, rules, ordinances, orders, standards, permits, licenses, policies
and requirements (including consent decrees, judicial decisions and

(2) "hazardous wastes," as defined by RCRA; (3) any radioactive material
including, without limitation, any source, special nuclear or by-product
material, as defined by AEA; (4) asbestos in any form or condition; (5)
polychlorinated biphenyls; and (6) any other material, substance or waste to
which liability or standards of conduct may be imposed under any Environmental
Laws.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of
this Paragraph 8a. shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and
termination of this Agreement.

     b.   Seller has provided to Purchaser certain unaudited historical
financial information regarding the Property relating to certain periods of
time in which Seller owned the Property.  Seller and Purchaser hereby
acknowledge that such information has been provided to Purchaser at Purchaser's
request solely as illustrative material.  Except as may otherwise be
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no
representation or warranty that such material is complete or accurate or that
Purchaser will achieve similar financial or other results with respect to the
operations of the Property, it being acknowledged by Purchaser that Seller's
operation of the Property and allocations of revenues or expenses may be vastly
different than Purchaser may be able to attain.  Purchaser acknowledges that it
is a sophisticated and experienced purchaser of real estate and further that
Purchaser has relied upon its own investigation and inquiry with respect to the
operation of the Property and releases Seller from any liability with respect
to such historical information.

which the Purchaser shall wire the Purchase Price to Title Insurer on the
Closing Date and prior to the release of the Purchase Price to Seller,
Purchaser shall receive the Title Policy or marked up commitment dated the date

     11.  DEFAULT BY PURCHASER.  ALL EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW IS
TO SECURE THE TIMELY PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND
UNDERTAKINGS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT OF THE
PURCHASER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL OF

prepaid rents); refundable security deposits (which will be assigned to and
assumed by Purchaser and credited to Purchaser at Closing); pro rata share of
advance payment received by Seller on cable TV or laundry leases (if any);
water and other utility charges; fuels; prepaid operating expenses; real and
personal property taxes; and other similar items shall be adjusted ratably as
of 11:59 P.M. on the day prior to the Closing Date ("Proration Date"), and
credited or debited to the balance of the cash due at Closing.  If the funds
are not received by the Title Insurer by 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time, then
prorations shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 P.M. on the Closing Date.  If
the amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the
adjustment thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent ascertainable data.
All prorations will be final except as to Delinquent Rents referred to in 13b
below.  However, notwithstanding the aforesaid, real estate and personal
property taxes will be reprorated when the final tax bills become available if
they were not available at Closing, but in no event shall the real and personal
property taxes be prorated later than December 1, 1996.  If special assessments
have been levied against the Property for completed improvements, then the
amount of any installments which are due prior to the Closing Date shall be
paid by the Seller; and the amount of installments which are due after the
Closing Date shall be paid by the Purchaser.  All assessments for incomplete
improvements shall be paid by Purchaser.  In addition, Seller shall give
Purchaser a credit at Closing (in the amount determined below) for each
residential unit which has been vacant for ten (10) days or more prior to the
Closing Date if said units are not "rent ready."  Representatives of the
parties shall conduct a walk-through of the Property two (2) business days
prior to Closing of the applicable vacant units.  Based on the walk-through,
Purchaser and Seller shall mutually determine, in good faith, the cost to make
any applicable vacant units "rent ready."  The parties agree that the typical
cost to make a vacant unit "rent ready" shall be $200.00.

     b.   DELINQUENT RENTS.  If, as of the Closing Date, any rent is in arrears
("Delinquent Rent") for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, then
the first rent collected by Purchaser will be delivered to Seller for the
Delinquent Rent.  If Delinquent Rent is in arrears for a period prior to the
calendar month in which the Closing occurs, then rents collected by Purchaser
shall first be applied to current rent and then to Delinquent Rent.  Purchaser
shall deliver Seller's pro rata share within 40 days of Purchaser's receipt of
that Delinquent Rent.  This subparagraph of this Agreement shall survive the
Closing and the delivery and recording of the Deed.

interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.

interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11.  Seller hereby consents to an
assignment to an entity, the ownership and control of which is held directly or
indirectly by the same persons owning and controlling Purchaser.  However,
Purchaser shall remain liable for all of the Purchaser's obligations and
undertakings set forth in this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto.  If
any assignee of Purchaser under this Agreement petitions or applies for relief
in bankruptcy or Assignee is adjudicated as a bankrupt or insolvent, or
Assignee files any petition, application for relief or answer-seeking or
acquiescing in any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or
future federal, state or other statute, law, code or regulation relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors (collectively, a
"Bankruptcy Filing") on or before the Closing Date, said Bankruptcy Filing
shall be a default under this Agreement and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller
for all costs, attorney's fees and expenses of Seller resulting from Seller's
efforts to obtain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and to clear title to
the Property from any encumbrance resulting from the Bankruptcy Filing.\

     16.  BROKER.  The parties hereto acknowledge that CB Commercial Real
Estate Group, Inc. ("Broker") is the only real estate broker involved in this
transaction.  Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission or fee ("Fee") pursuant
to a listing agreement between Seller and Broker.  However, this Fee is due and
payable only upon the Closing of the transaction contemplated herein.

partner, affiliate, parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers
and directors of Seller or Seller's partner, parent or affiliate (each of the
above is individually referred to as a "Seller Indemnitee") from all claims
(except a claim from the Broker), including attorneys' fees and costs incurred
by a Seller Indemnitee as a result of anyone's claiming by or through Purchaser
any fee, commission or compensation on account of this Agreement, its
negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated.  Purchaser does now and shall at
all times consent to a Seller Indemnitee's selection of defense counsel.

Time) on August 9, 1996 ("Approval Period").  During the Approval Period, upon
reasonable notice to the Seller, the Purchaser shall have the right to inspect
and approve the condition of the Property including the interior of the
apartments, during normal business hours and shall have access to the records
maintained by Seller at the Property.  Purchaser, its engineers, architects,
employees, contractors and agents shall maintain public liability insurance
policies insuring against claims arising as a result of the inspections of the
Property being conducted by Purchaser.  Prior to commencing any tests, studies
and investigations, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate of
insurance evidencing the existence of the aforesaid policies and naming Seller
as an additional insured.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and
hold Seller harmless from any and all loss, costs, including attorneys' fees,
liability or damages which Seller may incur or suffer as a result of
Purchaser's conducting its inspection and investigation of the Property

claims.

injuries, damages or claims of any nature whatsoever which Purchaser's
servants, agents or employees may have as a result of Purchaser's inspection of

which may arise as a result of Purchaser's inspection of the Property.

     c.   Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to disapprove
the Documents or the condition of the Property for any reason or no reason
whatsoever.  If Purchaser disapproves the Documents or the condition of the
Property, it must be by a notice ("Notice of Disapproval") delivered to Seller
and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Approval Period.  The
Notice of Disapproval delivered to Seller shall be accompanied with copies of
all reports and the Documents (collectively, "Reports") which Purchaser has
received from the Seller.  Upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval and the
Reports, the Earnest Money plus the interest accrued thereon shall be returned
<PAGE>
to the Purchaser.  If Purchaser does not deliver a Notice of Disapproval and
the Reports to Seller, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser
has approved the Documents and the condition of the Property and all Earnest
Money plus the interest accrued thereon shall belong to Seller unless Seller is
in default hereunder.

     18.  SURVIVAL OF PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold
Seller harmless under various provisions of this Agreement shall forever
survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing and delivery and
recording of the Deed.

     any part thereof.

     from all security interests, liens and encumbrances, other than the 
     Permitted Exceptions and any liens to be satisfied at Closing.

     free rent or any concession in the payment of rent or any abatement in the
     payment of rent any of which would take effect after the Closing.  Under 
     the terms of its lease, no tenant has the right to terminate its lease 
     upon payment of a sum of money.  Except as set forth on the Rent Roll, no 
     apartment has been rented furnished.

     any governmental authority controlling, restricting or imposing income 
     qualifications with respect to any of the units or any of the tenants of

     U.S.C. e1437, et seq.

Purchaser or Seller become aware of information which makes a representation
and warranty contained in this Agreement to become untrue in any material
respect, said party shall promptly disclose said information to the other party

any deliberate actions or inactions to cause the representation or warranty in
question to become untrue in any material respect, said party shall not be in
default under this Agreement and the sole remedy of the other party shall be to
terminate this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the

contained in Paragraph 16c herein, then Purchaser shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement or make any claim for a breach of a representation or
warranty hereunder involving the rent roll or tenancies thereunder.  Purchaser
and Seller are prohibited from making any claims against the other party hereto
after the Closing with respect to any breaches of the other party's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that the claiming
party has actual knowledge of prior to the Closing.
