Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Financial Condition
- -------------------
There have been no significant changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial
condition since December 31, 1998 other than debt payments and dividend
payments. At present, there are no large capital expenditures planned that
would present a liquidity problem.

Results of Operations - Three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to three
months ended March 31, 1998.
- -----------------------------
Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased
approximately 39% as compared to the same period in 1998. Rental income
increased due to higher rental rates and the acquisition of new rental property
in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Interest expense, depreciation, and property taxes increased during the first
quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998 as a result of acquiring
new property during the fourth quarter of 1998. Also, additional repairs and
maintenance of heating systems, roof repairs, and parking lots were required
during the first quarter of 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance Issues
- ---------------------------
The Trust has established a plan to address Year issues.  Successful
implementation of this plan will eliminate any extraordinary expenses related
to Year 2000 issue.  The Trust has purchased software updates from its sole
data processing vendor which are Year 200 compliant.  The Trust has a
reasonable basis to conclude that the Year 2000 issues will not materially
affect future financial results, or cause reported financial information not to
be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial
condition.
