                               OF CINCINNATI, OHIO


Griffin Ravenwood Joint Venture is a joint venture between Griffin Real Estate
Fund-IV, A Limited Partnership (30% owner) and Griffin Real Estate Fund-V, A
Limited Partnership (70% owner). The joint venture's only investment was
Ravenwood Apartments which is located at 2220 Westwood Northern Boulevard,
Cincinnati, Ohio.

On June 16, 1997, Griffin Ravenwood Joint Venture sold Ravenwood Apartments to
Anglo Edison Ravenwood LLC of San Diego, California.

Description of Property

Ravenwood Apartments is a 190 unit apartment complex located at 2220 Westwood
Northern Boulevard, Cincinnati, Ohio. The property was originally acquired by
Griffin Ravenwood Joint Venture on April 30, 1985 for $3,965,000. A down payment
of $965,000 was made with the balance of $3,000,000 financed by a first mortgage
loan. On December 10, 1993 the property debt was refinanced with a new
$3,105,500 first mortgage and the original mortgage was extinguished.

Sale of Property

The Ravenwood Apartments sales price of $3,450,000 cash was arrived at through
negotiations with the buyer who had no material relationship to Griffin Real
Estate Fund-IV, to any affiliates of Griffin Real Estate Fund-IV, to its General
Partner, or to any associates of its General Partner. With the proceeds of the
sale, the mortgage principal balance of $3,020,785, and accrued interest of
$12,385 and sales costs were paid.
