ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Westwood Village Apartments

In 1983,  the Partnership  acquired the  Westwood Village  Apartments,  Irving,
Texas, utilizing approximately $5,492,000 of  offering proceeds.  The  property
was acquired  subject to  a first  mortgage  loan of  $8,629,000 and  a  second
mortgage loan of $160,000.

On September 4,  1996, the Partnership  contracted to sell  the property for  a
sale price of $9,000,000 to  an unaffiliated party, Alliance Holdings,  L.L.C.,
an Illinois limited  liability company.   The purchaser  has deposited  $90,000
into an escrow account as earnest money.  The remainder of the sale price  will
be payable  in  cash at  closing,  scheduled for  November  1, 1996.  From  the
proceeds of the sale, the Partnership will pay the outstanding balances of  the
first  and  second  mortgage  loans  which  are  expected  to  be  at   closing
approximately $6,793,000 and  $151,000, respectively, $180,000  as a  brokerage
commission to an unaffiliated  party and $90,000 to  an affiliate of the  third
party providing property  management services  for the  property as  a fee  for
services rendered in connection with the sale of the property.  The Partnership
will receive the remaining proceeds  of approximately $1,786,000, less  closing
costs.  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.

Affiliates of the General Partner have recently contracted to sell three  other
properties to the purchaser.

The closing is subject  to the satisfaction of  numerous terms and  conditions.
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.

5.   CONDITION OF TITLE.

     5.1.  If, prior to "Closing" (as hereinafter defined), a date-down to the
Title Commitment or the Updated Survey discloses any new Unpermitted Exception,
Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the date-down to the Title
Commitment or the Updated Survey, as applicable, at Seller's expense, to (i)
bond over, cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate,

or (ii) have the right, but not the obligation, to bond over, cure and/or have
any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate, equal or exceed $25,000.00,
removed from the Title Commitment or to have the Title Insurer commit to insure
against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Unpermitted Exceptions.
<PAGE>
In such event, the time of Closing shall be delayed, if necessary, to give
effect to said aforementioned time periods.  If Seller fails to cure or have
said Unpermitted Exception removed or have the Title Insurer commit to insure
as specified above within said thirty (30) day period or if Seller elects not
to exercise its rights under  (ii)  in the preceding sentence, Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller within five (5) days after the
expiration of said thirty (30) day period.  Absent notice from Purchaser to
Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected to take title subject to said Unpermitted Exception.  If Purchaser
terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.1,
this Agreement shall become null and void without further action of the parties
and all Earnest Money theretofore deposited into the escrow by Purchaser
together with any interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and
neither party shall have any further liability to the other, except for
Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more
fully set forth in Paragraph 7.

     5.2.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property to
Purchaser by special warranty deed (the "Deed") in recordable form subject only

6.   CONDEMNATION, EMINENT DOMAIN, DAMAGE AND CASUALTY.

     6.1.  Except as provided in the indemnity provisions contained in
Paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with
respect to the Property up to the earlier of the dates upon which either
possession or title is transferred to Purchaser in accordance with this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the
Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which
would cost less than or equal to $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller and
Purchaser in good faith) Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its
obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall assign and
transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account
of such fire or casualty and grant Purchaser a credit at Closing for the amount
of the deductible under such insurance policies.  Seller shall promptly notify
Purchaser in writing of any such fire or other casualty and Seller's
determination of the cost to repair the damage caused thereby.  In the event of
damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date,
repair of which would cost in excess of $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller
and Purchaser in good faith), then this Agreement may be terminated at the
option of Purchaser, which option shall be exercised, if at all, by Purchaser's
written notice thereof to Seller within five (5) business days after Purchaser
receives written notice of such fire or other casualty and Seller's
determination of the amount of such damages, and upon the exercise of such
option by Purchaser this Agreement shall become null and void, the Earnest
Money deposited by Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser together with
interest thereon, and neither party shall have any further liability or
obligations hereunder.  In the event that Purchaser does not exercise the
option set forth in the preceding sentence, the Closing shall take place on the
Closing Date and Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser on the Closing
Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds
paid or payable to Seller on account of the fire or casualty and grant
Purchaser a credit at Closing for the amount of the deductible under such
insurance policies.
<PAGE>
     6.2.  If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which might result in
the taking of any part of the Property or the taking or closing of any right of
access to the Property, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such
occurrence.  In the event that the taking of any part of the Property shall:
(i) materially impair access to the Property; (ii) cause any material
non-compliance with any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any
federal, state or local authority or governmental agencies having jurisdiction
over the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) materially and adversely
impair the use of the Property as it is currently being operated (hereinafter
collectively referred to as a "Material Event"), Purchaser may:

          6.2.1.  terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
which event the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease;
or

          6.2.2.  proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign
to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made
in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

     6.3. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days
after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2.  Closing shall be
delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election.  If Purchaser fails
to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser shall
be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2.  If
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a Material
Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event
Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings.

7.   INSPECTION AND AS-IS CONDITION.

     7.1.  During the period commencing on August 29, 1996 and ending at 5:00
p.m. Chicago time on September 16, 1996 (said period being herein referred to

contractors and surveyors retained by Purchaser may enter upon the Property, at
any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, to inspect the
Property, including a review of leases located at the Property, and to conduct
and prepare such studies, tests and surveys as Purchaser may deem reasonably

Property, Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser copies of the current rent roll
for the Property, the most recent tax and insurance bills, utility account
numbers, service contracts, and unaudited year end 1995 and year-to-date 1996
operating statements.  Furthermore, if the following are reasonably available
to Seller, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser plans and specifications.
<PAGE>
     All of the foregoing tests, investigations and studies to be conducted

expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing
prior to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of
Purchaser.  Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any
affiliate, parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees, officers and
directors of Seller or Seller's affiliate or parent (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Affiliate of Seller") harmless from any and all liability, cost
and expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court
costs and costs of appeal) suffered or incurred by Seller or Affiliates of
Seller for injury to persons or property caused by Purchaser's investigations
and inspection of the Property.  Purchaser shall undertake its obligation to
defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys selected by Seller,
in Seller's sole discretion.  

     Prior to commencing any such tests, studies and investigations, Purchaser
shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing comprehensive
general public liability insurance insuring the person, firm or entity
performing such tests, studies and investigations and listing Seller and
Purchaser as additional insureds thereunder.

     If Purchaser is dissatisfied with the results of the tests, studies or
investigations performed or information received pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1
in Purchaser's sole and unfettered discretion, Purchaser shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to
Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period.  If
written notice is not received by Seller pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 prior
to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then the right of Purchaser to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 shall be waived.  If
Purchaser terminates this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period: (i) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to
Seller copies of all studies, reports and other investigations obtained by
Purchaser in connection with its due diligence during the Inspection Period;
and (ii) the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser shall be immediately paid to
Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, and neither Purchaser nor
Seller shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement,
except for Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property,
as more fully set forth in this Paragraph 7.1.  Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the terms of this Paragraph 7.1, shall
survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and  termination of this
Agreement.

     7.2.  Seller can make no representations or warranties relating to the
condition of the Property or the Personal Property.  Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that it will be purchasing the Property and the Personal Property based

Property, and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property and the Personal
Property "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS", based upon the condition of the
Property and the Personal Property as of the date of this Agreement, wear and
tear and loss by fire or other casualty or condemnation excepted.  Without

<PAGE>
consultants, brokers or agents have made any representations or warranties of

Seller from any and all liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser
may have against Seller or the Affiliates of Seller relating directly or

10.  PURCHASER'S DEFAULT.  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 A DEFAULT OF THE PURCHASER UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL OF THE EARNEST MONEY AND
THE INTEREST THEREON AS SELLER'S SOLE RIGHT TO DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER REMEDY,
EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AND RESTORE THE PROPERTY
AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 7.1 HEREOF.  THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S
ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE.  THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS
BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY HAS BEEN AGREED UPON,
AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES.

DEFAULT, PURCHASER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE THE RETURN OF ALL EARNEST MONEY
TOGETHER WITH ANY INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL THEN
BECOME NULL AND VOID AND OF NO EFFECT AND THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER
LIABILITY TO EACH OTHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS
<PAGE>
TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AND RESTORE THE PROPERTY AS SET FORTH MORE FULLY IN
PARAGRAPH 7.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IF
SELLER'S DEFAULT IS ITS WILLFUL REFUSAL TO DELIVER THE DEED, THEN PURCHASER
WILL BE ENTITLED TO SUE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

12.  PRORATIONS.

     12.1.  Rents (exclusive of delinquent rents, but including prepaid rents);
refundable security deposits (which will be assigned to and assumed by
Purchaser and credited to Purchaser at Closing); water and other utility
charges; fuels; prepaid operating expenses; real and personal property taxes
based on 105% of the most current and available tax bills; and other similar
items shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date, and
credited against the balance of the cash due at Closing.  Assessments payable
in installments which are due subsequent to the Closing Date shall be paid by
Purchaser.  If the amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then
ascertainable, the adjustments thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent
ascertainable data.  All prorations will be final except as to delinquent rent
referred to in Paragraph 12.2 below.

     12.2.  All rent paid following the Closing Date by any tenant of the
Property who is indebted under a lease for rent for the month during which the
Closing occurs shall be deemed a "Post-Closing Receipt" until such time as all
such indebtedness is paid in full.  Within ten (10) days following each receipt
by Purchaser of a Post-Closing Receipt, Purchaser shall pay Seller's pro-rata
share of such Post-Closing Receipt to Seller.  Purchaser shall use diligent
efforts to collect all amounts which, upon collection, would constitute
Post-Closing Receipts hereunder.  Within 120 days after the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a reconciliation statement of Post-Closing
Receipts through the first 90 days after the Closing Date.  Upon the delivery
of the Post-Closing Receipts reconciliation, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller
any Post-Closing Receipts owing to Seller and not previously delivered to
Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.  Seller retains the right to
conduct an audit, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, of
Purchaser's books and records to verify the accuracy of the Post-Closing
Receipts reconciliation statement and upon the verification of additional funds
owing to Seller, Purchaser shall pay to Seller said additional Post-Closing
Receipts and the cost of performing Seller's audit.  Paragraph 12.2 of this
Agreement shall survive the Closing and the delivery and recording of the deed.

13.  RECORDING.  Neither this Agreement nor a memorandum thereof shall be
recorded and the act of recording by Purchaser shall be an act of default
hereunder by Purchaser and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.

14.  ASSIGNMENT.  The Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its interest
in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.  Any
assignment or transfer of, or attempt to assign or transfer, Purchaser's
interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to any entity
controlled by, or under common control with, Purchaser, provided that Purchaser
shall not be released from any liability or obligations hereunder.

15.  BROKER.  Seller agrees to pay all broker commissions or finder fees
arising by or through Seller.  Purchaser agrees to pay all broker commissions
or finder fees arising by or through Purchaser.  Any commissions payable by
Seller shall only be payable out of the proceeds of the sale of the Property in
the event the transaction set forth herein closes.  Purchaser and Seller shall
indemnify, defend and hold the other party hereto harmless from any claim
whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court
costs and costs of appeal) from anyone claiming by or through the indemnifying
party any fee, commission or compensation on account of this Agreement, its
negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated.  The indemnifying party shall
undertake its obligations set forth in this Paragraph 15 using attorneys
selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party.  The provisions of this Paragraph 15 will survive the Closing and
delivery of the Deed.

16.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

or thing shall only mean such knowledge or notice that has actually been

representation or warranty of the Seller is based upon those matters of which
the Seller's Representative has actual knowledge.  Any knowledge or notice
given, had or received by any of Seller's agents, servants or employees shall
not be imputed to Seller, the general partner or limited partners of Seller,
the subpartners of the general partner or limited partners of Seller or
Seller's Representative.
