ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On December 23, 1999, the Registrant acquired through a controlled
affiliate, 268 residential units from Oak Apartments, LLC for a purchase
price of $14.5 million. The property is located in Brockton, Massachusetts.
The Registrant financed the purchase price in part through the use of the
Registrant's operating cash and cash reserves. In addition, the Registrant
obtained a loan in the amount of $750,000 from Harold Brown, the Treasurer of
the General Partner of the Registrant. Mr. Brown's loan is payable by the
Registrant, interest only, monthly until maturity and bears interest at a rate
of 10% per annum and
<PAGE>
matures in two (2) years. The loan can be prepaid in whole or part at any
time prior to maturity without penalty. The balance of the purchase price was
financed through a first mortgage loan from Arbor National Commercial
Mortgage, LLC ("Arbor"), in an amount of $11.6 million. The first mortgage
loan from Arbor bears interest at a rate of 7.84% per annum and is amortized
over a 30 year period, with a maturity in 10 years.
The seller, Oaks Apartments, LLC, has no relationship to the Registrant
or its controlled affiliate, which was formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the property.
The Registrant acquired the property through Hamilton Oaks Associates,
LLC ("Hamilton Oaks"), a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed
for the specific purpose of acquiring the property. NewReal, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation, and the Registrant's General Partner, is the sole
manager of Hamilton Oaks, and the Registrant is its sole member.
At the time of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the

<PAGE>
Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding
paragraph, Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has received the Reports;
that the Reports have been provided to Buyer for informational purposes
only; that Seller has no obligation whatsoever pursuant to this
Agreement to update or supplement the Reports; and that Seller does not
represent, warrant or guarantee the contents, conclusions or opinions
contained in the Reports.
4. BUYER'S INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right
to conduct or cause to be conducted during the Contingency Period, with
reputable companies and at Buyer's sole cost and expense, such
investigations, inspections and studies of the Premises, and such
reviews of plans, specifications, permits, approvals, and other
documents, as Buyer deems necessary or desirable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, prior to the performance of any environmental review of the
Premises, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing as to the identity of
the company or persons who shall perform such review, and, if the
review includes testing, the proposed scope of such testing, and shall
first obtain the prior written approval of Seller prior to the
performance of any environmental review of the Premises, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed by Seller and
shall, in all events, be granted or denied within two (2) business days
after receipt by Seller of a request for approval from Buyer. All
parties performing any investigations, inspections or studies of the
Premises shall provide to Seller, prior to the commencement of any
activities on the Premises, certificates of insurance evidencing
reasonably satisfactory commercial general liability and errors and
omissions insurance coverage and naming Seller as an additional
insured.
In addition to the above, but not as an additional contingency to the
Closing (as defined below), Buyer may, subject to the provisions below,
access the Premises for the purpose of: (i) performing an appraisal;
(ii) showing the Premises to potential investors or lenders; and (iii)
conducting a final inspection within 48 hours prior to the Closing to
ensure that the Premises conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
All investigations, inspections, studies and reviews relating to the
Premises which are permitted under this Agreement shall be done at
reasonable times, in reasonable frequency, and after twenty-four hours'
prior notice (which may be verbal) to Nancy Gaudet (telephone: (781)
849-0011). Seller may impose reasonable restrictions on the timing of
such investigations, inspections, studies and reviews as necessary to
minimize disruptions of Seller's activities at the Premises, or as
necessary to comply with the Existing Leases and the rights of the
tenants thereunder, but in all such events shall act in good faith to
allow Buyer to timely perform its such investigations, inspections,
studies and reviews relating to the Premises.
4
<PAGE>
Buyer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors,
consultants and other representatives (collectively, "Buyer's Related
Parties"), may enter upon the Premises only with Seller's personnel
present (and Seller hereby agrees that it shall make such necessary
personnel available upon its receipt of Buyer's reasonable notice as
stated above), and shall take all reasonable precautions to minimize
the impact on the Premises of any such investigations, inspections,
studies and reviews. Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of
all written reports and assessments (both interim and final) relating
to any investigations, inspections, studies and reviews performed by
Buyer or Buyer's Related Parties with respect to the Premises, which
shall be provided without request if they disclose facts which might
have a negative impact on the Premises and otherwise shall be provided
upon the request of Seller. Buyer shall, immediately after any entry,
restore the Premises, at Buyer's sole cost, to the condition which
existed immediately prior thereto, including, but not limited to,
replacing paving and landscaping.
Buyer and Buyer's Related Parties, after performing any environmental
review of the Premises, shall not notify any party, including any
public agency, with the exception of Seller, of the results of any such
study unless notification is required by law or, in the case of Buyer's
consultants, by professional ethical standards, and, in any event,
Seller shall also receive a copy of any such notification. Except as
set forth above, Seller shall assume all responsibility for any such
notification. Buyer shall inform Buyer's Related Parties not to
disclose the results of any such study unless notification is required
by law or by professional ethical standards, and, in any event, Seller
shall also receive a copy of any such notification.
Buyer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and
Seller's Related Parties of, from and against any and all costs,
losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities, expenses and other
obligations (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and court
costs) arising from, out of, or in connection with, any damage to
persons or property occurring in or about the Premises as a direct
result of the entry by, and any activities of, Buyer or any one or more
of Buyer's Related Parties in or upon the Premises. In addition, all
cuttings, samples or wastes generated as part of Buyer's inspections
which might reasonably either be considered hazardous or are of such a
substantial quantity that disposing of same within Seller's on-site
waste receptacles would result in a hardship to Seller, shall be
lawfully disposed of off-site by Buyer or Buyer's Related Parties at
Buyer's sole cost and expense. The foregoing restoration, disposal, and
indemnity obligations of Buyer contained in this Paragraph 4 shall
survive the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement.
In the event Buyer is not satisfied with the results of its independent
investigations in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, Buyer may, at
any time on or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller
written notice of Buyer's election to do so ("Buyer's Termination
Notice"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees
that there is no contingency for a physical inspection of the Premises
and Buyer
5
<PAGE>
shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement based upon Buyer's
dissatisfaction with the physical condition of the Premises. If Buyer
terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 4, Buyer shall be
entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit with all accrued
interest thereon. In such event, except as expressly provided otherwise
herein, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and the
parties shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities
hereunder. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Paragraph 4 by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the
expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall be conclusively
presumed to have waived its right to terminate contained in this
Paragraph 4.
5. TITLE
Seller shall convey good and clear record and marketable and insurable
title to the Premises, free from all encumbrances, liens, agreements
and encroachments from, on or against the Premises, except:
(a) Provisions of state and local building, zoning, environmental,
and other laws, rules, regulations, ordinances or bylaws as
may affect the use, maintenance or ownership of the Premises;
provided that the Premises, as of the Time of Closing (as
hereinafter defined), may be used as of right, without special
permit or variance other than as already issued and in full

and accessory uses relating thereto;

other matters of record title which are not Title Defects (as
hereinafter defined).
Buyer acknowledges receipt of the Title Policy and the Survey. Buyer
shall give written notice (a "Title Defect Notice") to Seller on or
before the expiration of the Contingency Period if the Title Policy or
the Survey, or any update of the same obtained by Buyer, discloses any
title defect or encroachment or other matter to which Buyer has a
commercially reasonable objection and over which matter Buyer or
Buyer's lender cannot obtain satisfactory affirmative coverage from
Chicago Title Insurance Company or such other national title insurance
company as Buyer may select (the "Title Company") without the payment
of additional premium therefor
6
<PAGE>
(collectively, "Title Defects"). Any matter of record title appearing
on the Title Policy or matter appearing on the Survey, or matter of
record title or survey matter in existence as of the date of this
Agreement (other than any mortgage and other monetary lien(s) and UCC
financing statements appearing on the Title Policy, which shall be
promptly discharged and terminated, respectively, following the Closing

Buyer and shall constitute a "Permitted Exception." Seller shall use
reasonable efforts to cure any Title Defect which is the subject of a
Title Defect Notice in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 14,
below. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 14,
below, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cure any Title Defect
which first arises or encumbers the Premises after the date of this
Agreement. In no event shall Seller be required to expend more than an
aggregate amount of $25,000.00 to remove Title Defects.

corrected and paid. The provisions of this Paragraph 13(b)

required to expend any funds or institute any litigation in
such collection efforts, and further provided that Buyer shall

deduct from any rents so collected, all funds expended by

Buyer's name, to take all steps reasonably necessary to
collect any unpaid rent due to Seller, other than legal
proceedings to evict any tenant or terminate any lease, which
proceedings Seller shall not be entitled to commence or
maintain without Buyer's written consent. Buyer agrees to
cooperate with Seller in any such proceedings and to join in
any such proceedings which are required to be brought in the
name of the then current owner of the Premises, provided that
Buyer shall incur no costs in connection therewith. The
provisions of this Paragraph 13(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d) ADDITIONAL RENT
If any tenants under the Existing Leases are required to pay
percentage rent, escalation charges for real estate taxes,
operating expenses, cost-of-living adjustments or other
charges of a similar nature ("Additional Rent"), and any
Additional Rent is collected by one party which is
attributable to the other party's period of ownership, such
party shall promptly pay to the other party the other party's
proportionate share thereof, less a proportionate share of any
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses of collection
thereof. The provisions of this Paragraph 13(d) shall survive
the Closing.
(e) USE OF PROCEEDS TO CLEAR TITLE
Any unpaid taxes or other liens and encumbrances which Seller
is obligated to pay and discharge, together with the cost of
recording or filing any instruments necessary to discharge
such liens and encumbrances of record, may be paid out of the
proceeds of the monies payable at the Closing and such
instruments necessary to discharge such liens and encumbrances
of record shall be recorded contemporaneously with the
recording of the Deed or within a reasonable time after the
Closing in accordance with customary Massachusetts
conveyancing practice.
(f) EXPENSES OF SALE
Buyer and Seller shall each pay the fees of its counsel and
other consultants retained in connection with the purchase and
sale of the Premises. Seller shall pay all transfer taxes and
such other closing costs as are customarily paid by a seller
in Massachusetts. Buyer shall pay all recording fees, title
insurance premiums and other closing costs as are customarily
paid by a buyer in Massachusetts.
17
<PAGE>
14. DEFAULT
(a) DEFECTIVE TITLE OR CONDITION OF PREMISES
If Seller shall be unable to convey title or to deliver
possession of the Premises as herein stipulated, or if at the
Time of Closing the Premises do not conform with the
provisions hereof, then Seller shall use reasonable efforts
(as defined in and limited by Paragraph 5, above) to remove
any Title Defects, or to deliver possession as herein
provided, or to make the Premises conform to the provisions
hereof, in which case the Time of Closing shall be extended
for a period equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days from
the original Time of Closing, or (ii) five (5) business days
after Seller gives Buyer notice that Seller is able to convey
title and to deliver possession of the Premises as herein
stipulated and that the Premises conform with the provisions
hereof.
If, at the end of such extension period, Seller is unable to
make the Premises conform to the provisions hereof or remove
any Title Defect, then Buyer may either (i) accept such title
as Seller can deliver to the Premises in their then condition
and to pay therefor the Purchase Price without deduction, in
which case Seller shall convey such title, except that if the
Premises shall have been damaged by fire or casualty insured
against then Seller shall, unless Seller has previously
restored the Premises to their former condition, either: (a)
pay over or assign to Buyer, at the Time of Closing, all
amounts recovered and recoverable on account of such insurance
plus Seller's deductible under such insurance, or (b) if a
holder of a mortgage on the Premises retains the insurance
proceeds or a part thereof, give to Buyer a credit against the
Purchase Price equal to the amount so retained plus Seller's
deductible under such insurance, in either case, less any
amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial restoration;
or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller,
in which case the Deposit, together with all interest accrued
thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall
be null and void and without recourse to any party hereto.
(b) SELLER'S DEFAULT
The parties acknowledge that if Seller fails to fulfill its
obligations hereunder, Buyer may, at Buyer's sole option,
either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, and thereupon
the Deposit, with all interest thereon, shall be promptly
returned to Buyer and this shall be Buyer's sole and exclusive
remedy for Seller's breach hereunder either at law or in
equity, or (ii) seek to enforce the remedy of specific
performance to compel performance by Seller of its obligations
hereunder.
(c) BUYER'S DEFAULT
The parties acknowledge that if Buyer fails to fulfill its
obligations hereunder it would be impossible to compute
exactly Seller's damages. Buyer and Seller
18
<PAGE>
have taken these facts into account in setting the amount of
the Deposit and agree that the Deposit is the best estimate of
such damages and such sum represents damages and not any
penalty against Buyer. If Buyer fails to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement, Seller may elect to
terminate this Agreement, and, thereupon, the Deposit, with
all interest accrued thereon, shall be immediately paid to
Seller as liquidated damages, and this shall be Seller's sole
and exclusive remedy for Buyer's breach hereunder either at
law or in equity.
15. BROKERAGE FEES
Seller and Buyer mutually represent and warrant that Broker is the only
broker with whom they have dealt in connection with this purchase and
sale and that neither Seller nor Buyer is aware of any other broker who
has claimed or may have the right to claim a commission in connection
with this purchase and sale. The commission of Broker shall be paid by
Seller pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker.
Seller and Buyer shall indemnify and defend each other against
liability, loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorneys' fees,
arising out of the breach of any representations or warranties in this
Paragraph. This Paragraph 15 shall survive the Closing, or, if the
Closing does not occur, the termination of this Agreement.
